With the recent launch of the new best CPU for gaming on the market, AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D, many people have been scrambling to get one in their gaming PC, but stock is sparse. On the bright side, if you’re the kind of person who enjoys the ease of a prebuilt machine, PCs featuring the 9800X3D are starting to appear online from certain manufacturers.

We recently saw two 9800X3D prebuilt gaming PCs show up online, and now we’ve found another that offers many of the best components currently available to you. It’s available from UK retailer Stormforce Gaming.

Stormforce’s Prism 1032 gaming PC includes the 9800X3D and RTX 4090

Head on over to the Stormforce Gaming store if you’re interested – the specs below detail what’s inside this high-end PC designed for 4K and VR gaming:

Right away, two key components make this gaming PC a powerhouse – both the CPU and GPU can be considered flagships for gaming. Starting with the 9800X3D processor, we’ve already seen tests that show it is 20% better for gaming than Intel’s current flagship Core Ultra 9 285K. That’s not all either, as it also isn’t bad for productivity on the side.

Back when we reviewed the RTX 4090, it passed our benchmarks with flying colors. That doesn’t come as a surprise as it is the most powerful consumer graphics card right now and if you want high-end 4K gaming, it’s a tempting option despite the price. Our in-house tests show it averages 133 FPS at 4K ultra settings with ray tracing (DLSS enabled) in Cyberpunk 2077; it reached 200 FPS 4K RT maxed-out settings without DLSS in lighter titles such as DOOM (2016).

To facilitate the graphics card, this Stormforce prebuilt comes with a gold-rated 1050W power supply; a powerful PSU is essential to meet the 4090’s high power draw.

Stormforce has fitted this gaming PC with one of the new X870 motherboards, specifically the MSI X870-P WiFi which delivers the most up-to-date support for AMD’s AM5 platform. Fast DDR5 memory RAM is also included as expected, running at 6000 MHz with 64GB which is more than enough for gaming and productivity workflows.

Overall, this is a fantastic-looking PC with the specs to back it up. Everything is fitted into the Hyte Y70, a popular ‘fishtank’ style PC case, plus plenty of RGB lighting via the 360mm AIO cooler and three Corsair iCUE 120mm fans. Buying a prebuilt takes away the stress of putting together a PC yourself and delivers a professionally-made product ready to plug in and play.

If you are instead interested in buying the 9800X3D alone, be sure to keep up to date with our 9800X3D stock tracker.
