Gigabyte Aorus Model S | Nvidia RTX 3080 | Intel Core i9 11900K | 32GB RAM | 3TB NVMe SSD |$3,299.99$1,999.99 at Newegg (save $1,300)It may come touting a last gen Intel CPU, but the rest of the spec is about as good as you can get for the money Newegg is asking. Topping our best graphics cards list right now, the RTX 3080 will hold a special place in our heart, and you can bet it’s worth the price particularly when complemented by the rest of the spec here.
As we move into the age of theRTX 40-series, we should start to see discounts popping up on gaming PCs touting Nvidia’s RTX 30-series graphics cards. This is one such example from Newegg, an Gigabyte Aorus model S gaming PC that’s currently enjoying anfrankly unfathomable $1,300 discount.
It’s a powerful rig topped with anRTX 3080, a config that tends to be priced closer to the $3,300 mark, and is now down to just a cent under $2,000.
Generally we wouldn’t recommend an RTX 3080-powered PC for over $2,000, but this one falls neatly into the bracket of acceptable price tag, with a few smashing components to really sweeten the deal.Marvel’s Spider-Mangame included.
Intel’sCore i9 11900Kmay not be the greatest in terms of its performance nowadays, but its unlocked potential makes for an excellent gaming CPU nonetheless. And at least when its packaged up with this level of discount, you don’t have to worry about how pricey it is on its own.
Sure its only 11th Gen—which when we’re currently staring down Intel’s upcoming 13th GenRaptor LakeCPUs, doesn’t seem that exciting—but there’s something to be said for the rest of the spec here.
Alongside it comes the RTX 3080, which still sits atop ourbest graphics cardslist for the time being. That’s complemented by a decent chunk of dual-channel RAM, 32GB of DDR4 to be exact.
A whopping 3TB of NVMe SSD storage comes alongside it so you shouldn’t have to worry about running out of space, or jamming half your game library on a slower, SATA-based storage drive.

Five things I always tell people before they buy a new gaming PC
I don’t know whether I’d wait for Black Friday when there are already RTX 4070 Super gaming PCs going for so little
I desperately hope Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Baldur’s Gate 3 and Disco Elysium inspire more RPG devs to reject the traditional drip, drip, drip of DLC and expansions
