This powerful ABS Stratos II Aqua gaming PC is currently down $450 at Newegg and comes in at a reasonably competitive $2,549.99, given its configuration. Here’s a run-through of what you’re getting for the price, and why you may want to consider it while it’s still reduced.
First off, this is an RTX 5070 Ti build, so you’re getting 8,960 CUDA cores, 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM, 4th-gen ray tracing cores, and support for DLSS 4 and MFG. It’s a very powerful card that’s notably less expensive than the RTX 5080, but packs a serious punch for QHD gaming and has strong 4K capabilities. It’s a significant level-up to the RTX 5070 if you’re after something that can handle higher, more demanding textures and modern titles, and works very well as a creator graphics card for complex tasks and projects, too.

That’s paired with a very high-end processor in the form of an Intel i9-14900KF, which is a beast for both gaming and heavy-duty multitasking and creative workloads. It features a massive 24 cores (8P and 16E), which allow it to handle anything from streaming to video editing, rendering, and running intensive background applications with ease. On top of that, it has a very fast 6GHz boost clock speed and a large 36MB L3 cache, making it a strong choice for gaming at high FPS with low latency, even at lower resolutions with CPU-intensive competitive games. The slight drawback here is that it’s an older LGA 1700 socket CPU, so your upgrade runway isn’t quite as clear as opting for an LGA 1851 alternative.

Elsewhere, this build features 32GB of DDR5 and a 2TB SSD, both of which tee it up nicely to handle more demanding, modern games and various heavy multitasking workloads. You’ve got a PSU that’s 850W, which is appropriate for this configuration, and a reasonably appropriate 240mm AIO cooler. In my view, a 360mm would be much better here for the i9-14900KF if you wanted more thermal headroom for prolonged CPU-intensive tasks, and it would likely keep noise levels down, too. That being said, this 240mm AIO should still do the trick, especially for gaming.
Reasons to consider this build
Excellent for gaming, content creation, and productivity
It’s a strong alternative to an RTX 5070 Ti, Ryzen 7 9800X3D build if you’re after something that will be able to handle heavier multitasking, creative edits, streaming, and more, while still providing excellent gaming performance across the board.
A slightly more affordable high-end ‘all-rounder’ option
By not going for a newer Intel Core Ultra configuration, you may be losing some future-facing characteristics, but you’re saving a bit of cash without compromising too much on performance.
Blackwell features give it the edge over other QHD/4K cards
Opting for an RX 9070 XT would be a great alternative, but the RTX 5070 Ti has the edge with fast VRAM, 4th-gen ray tracing cores, 5th-gen Tensor cores, and even advanced Nvidia 9th-gen encoders.
