Punchy RX 9070 XT 16GB prebuilt PC hits its lowest price in 30 days at Newegg — now under $1,700
Table of Contents
This excellent Thermaltake gaming PC is down to its lowest price in 30 days at Newegg, coming in at just $1,669.99 with a beefy $230 discount. Now I say ‘just’ because this is actually an RX 9070 XT build, which means you’re getting something with brilliant QHD gaming performance and 4K capabilities, and importantly, 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM, for a similar price to an RTX 5070 prebuilt PC.
Obviously, being a more affordable RX 9070 XT PC, it scales back in a couple of areas, but they’re not quite as big of a deal-killer as you’d think. For instance, it has a Ryzen 7 8700F, which is a decent AM5 processor with a 5 GHz boost clock speed, but relatively modest 16MB L3 cache. It’s a solid option for QHD gaming, but for very high FPS competitive gaming in FHD, an X3D model would be better. Similarly, it features 16GB of DDR5, which is fine for gaming, but doesn’t lend itself as well to heavy workstation and multitasking usage.
Overall, though, this is a brilliant, cost-effective gaming-first build that’s well worth considering if you’re looking for something well under $2,000 and want excellent raw performance and 16GB of VRAM for a great price.

What we like about this Thermaltake RX 9070 XT gaming PC
A much more affordable RX 9070 XT build
Your typical RX 9070 XT prebuilt PCs go for around $2,250 to $2,500, in my experience, which makes this Thermaltake build very compelling indeed.
A smart configuration for the RX 9070 XT’s gaming capabilities
People who buy the RX 9070 XT are usually looking for strong raw performance for QHD gaming, with decent 4K capabilities, rather than something for FHD esports, where a less expensive card would be more than appropriate. For QHD and 4K, it’s more on the GPU itself rather than the CPU, so you don’t really need a huge L3 cache for strong performance. What’s more, this CPU doesn’t require an expensive, massive 360mm AIO cooler to keep running at its best. That’s even more cash saved.
Future-facing build
Usually, the best way to save some cash is to opt for an AM4 or LGA 1700 build, but your upgrade path is a little limited in most cases. This is an AM5 build, which gives you some wiggle room for upgrades and tweaks in the future.
How good is this deal?
Generally speaking, I’m seeing prices of gaming PCs start creeping up again as of late. I wrote about this PC at the end of August this year, and it was priced at $1,599.99, so the price increase is actually quite modest. With the state of GPU, RAM, and SSD prices as they are right now, I’d say that this is genuinely a good deal, even though it has been lower a couple months back.
