The DIY landscape for building your own PC is particularly grim at the moment. Outside of decent combo deals or the evermore rare individual discount, it's getting harder to source components and afford to build your own machine in 2026. With prices of components skyrocketing so much, it can be scary to think about constructing your own PC and perhaps making a mistake or breaking something. Enter the prebuilt PC; usually way more expensive than building your own, but not anymore. Now, you can find plenty of prebuilts that are in fact cheaper than trying to build your own, much like this iBuypower Element 9 gaming PC - available at Newegg for just $1599.99. Featuring some excellent component choices from the Ryzen 7 7800X3D gaming CPU, to the RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB of VRAM, whilst also saving you $500.
The other main highlight of this build is the inclusion of an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB graphics card; our testing and benchmarking results placed it in the middle of the pack in our GPU charts. This is a much better card than the charts let on, when you consider its price-to-performance ratio and its large 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM, letting it handle the latest games at 1440p, with plenty of memory for textures and shaders.

For the $1599.99 price tag, you're getting a competent gaming PC that won't struggle with modern games at all. For 1080p and 1440p gaming, this machine will shine. Plus, it's ready to go straight out of the box, and includes a gaming keyboard and mouse - just in case you don't already have the peripherals.
