RX 9070 XT, Ryzen 7 9700X build with 32GB of DDR5 and 2TB SSD dips under $2,000 with Newegg deal
Table of Contents
This ABS Stratos II Ruby gaming PC is discounted to $1,999.99, with a hefty $500 off its list price. For under $2,000, that’s pretty impressive given that it features an RX 9070 XT, Ryzen 7 9700X, 32GB of DDR5, and even a 2TB SSD. What’s really impressive, though, is that for sub-$2000, it’s a PC that packs excellent QHD performance and has solid 4K capabilities, too.
- Powerful graphics card for 1440p and 4K gaming
- Excellent AM5 CPU
- Surprisingly large storage for the price
- Somewhat basic design
- Air cooler instead of liquid
- X3D CPU would be better for outright gaming performance
Its RX 9070 XT graphics card is essentially a more affordable, at least for now, alternative to the RTX 5070 Ti, and a good one at that. You’ve got 16GB of GDDR6 vs the RTX 5070 TI’s 16GB of GDDR7, RDNA 4 architecture, and improvements to both ray tracing and AI capabilities. In terms of raw performance, it can actually trade blows with the RTX 5070 Ti in some instances, so it’s great from a price-to-performance perspective.
Its CPU is also a smart pick for this build. It’s an AM5 processor with 8 cores, 16 threads, a 5.5GHz boost clock speed, and a 32MB L3 cache. It’s not as powerful as the good-old Ryzen 7 9800X3D, but it’s still a strong performer and certainly helps keep costs under $2,000 in this case.

Prices correct as of October 9th, 2026.
With 32GB of DDR5, it also primes this PC for future AAA game releases and will be able to handle asset-heavy or modded titles with minimal micro-stuttering. 2TB of storage is also a win and in line with many game sizes nowadays, and save you a potentially expensive upgrade in the future. Cooling is taken care of via a Cooler Master Hyper 212 air cooler, which is adequate for this configuration.
Should you go for this deal?
At its current price, it makes a lot of sense if you’re looking for something primarily for 1440p gaming, with entry-level 4K capabilities, as it’s only really a touch above some RTX 5070 prebuilds from my experience. The only downsides I can see here are its smaller PC case and air cooler, but considering the configuration and the fact that the Ryzen 7 9700X isn’t super power-hungry, it should still be fine.
