Stunning 9700X, 5060 Ti gaming PC sees a 22% price cut in early Black Friday deal
Table of Contents
Black Friday gaming PC deals should go live on the 20th, but that doesn’t mean you’ll have to wait till that day and face that rush, as plenty of prebuilt gaming PCs are on sale right now. We came across the Skytech Aqua gaming PC with a decent chunk shaved off, 22% to be more precise, that dropped its price from $1,649.99 to $1,279.99.
For a gaming PC that sports the Ryzen 7 9700X and the RTX 5060 Ti, we think this is an amazing price and is a steal. This is the 16GB variant of the RTX 5060 Ti, meaning even better performance. So, this is certainly one of the best budget gaming PC deals we’ve seen before Black Friday.
Skytech Gaming Aqua Desktop PC (9700X, 5060 Ti)
- The Ryzen 7 9700X is great for gaming and work
- The RTX 5060 Ti has DLSS 4 and MFG for enhanced gaming
- Aesthetically, this gaming PC is amazing
- The RAM and storage is only 16GB and 1TB, respectively
- Native 4K gaming might be too much for the GPU
What made this gaming PC stand out for us
This gaming PC should offer a very stable and efficient performance because we’ve tested the Ryzen 7 9700X and the RTX 5060 Ti in-house, so we know what these components are capable of. The variant we reviewed of the 5060 Ti was the ASUS Prime RTX 5060 Ti OC. Even if the card you’re getting isn’t factory overclocked, you can easily OC it yourself.
The 9700X delivered 325 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 and 240 FPS in Days Gone at 1080p low settings. This was when we paired it with the RTX 4070 Ti Super, so it should be able to easily keep up with the RTX 5060 Ti. As for the graphics card, it churned out 147, 111, and 56 FPS at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
Cyberpunk 2077 ran at 123 FPS at 1080p, 78 FPS at 1440p, and 34 FPS at 4K. What this means is that its 4K output isn’t consistent, and for a stable gaming experience, gaming at FHD or QHD is recommended. Also, this combination should deliver a solid gaming and working experience, but the system memory and storage can be upgraded.
Deals season is here folks, and with it comes a plethora of eye-catching price cuts on some of the industry's most popular tech. Below are some of the best deals you can find right now.

You’ll get 16GB DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD, which is good considering the price tag, but keep an eye on upgrades during Black Friday because 32GB RAM and at least 2TB of storage should be better.
Should you get this gaming PC?
If you’re operating on a budget and are looking for a new gaming PC, then this is a solid option to consider. For the price, we think this machine has a lot to offer, and the only aspect that can be improved is the memory and storage. However, that doesn’t mean it is a dud; you should still have a stable output with this PC, and further down the line, upgrading these components should unlock even more potential.
