Buying a pre-assembled gaming desktop can be a smart choice for many gamers. It can save you both time and money compared to purchasing PC components individually. If you’re considering your options, check out some Presidents Day deals on iBuyPower’s pre-built desktops, like the $1,899 RDY Element 9 Pro R07 and the $2,099.99 Slate. Both models feature high-end AMD processors and GPUs designed to handle most games at 1440p with impressive frame rates. They also come with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 2TB of storage, complete with a mouse and keyboard.
Let’s dive into the Element 9 Pro R07. It sports AMD’s Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor and a Radeon 9070 XT graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, comparable to the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti. The setup includes 32GB of DDR6 6000MHz RAM and a 2TB NVMe SSD built on the Asus B650EM Max Gaming motherboard. The system is housed in iBuyPower’s Element 9 Pro case, which features tempered glass on the front and one side, along with a 360mm RGB liquid cooling system. Included are an 850W power supply, a wired mouse, and a keyboard, plus a three-year labor warranty and two years of parts coverage. The GPU will arrive uninstalled, so that’s the only part you’ll need to set up using iBuyPower’s instructions. Typically priced at $2,149, it’s currently available for $1,899 at iBuyPower with the coupon code STARS during checkout.
The Slate has some different specifications, with certain features upgraded and others slightly downgraded compared to the Element 9 Pro R07. The standout feature is the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, which surpasses the 7800X3D in performance (though both are very capable CPUs). It also includes an AMD Radeon 9070 XT graphics card, 32GB of DDR5 RAM at 5,200MHz (as opposed to the 6,000MHz in the R07), and a 2TB NVMe SSD. Similar to the R07, it comes with a wired keyboard and mouse to help you get started, along with a 750W power supply, a liquid cooling system, and a one-year warranty. You can grab it for $2,099.99 at Best Buy.
