Even if you can find a stand-alone Nvidia GeForce RTX 30-series graphics card in stock, you’ll likely encounter a price that’ll make you gasp. A better route might be a prebuilt PC. You can find some reasonably priced, off-the-shelf gaming desktops right now with Nvidia’s latest GPUs. There are even a few discounts to be found — a rare occurrence for anything related to Nvidia’s RTX GPUs.
Best Buy and Newegg have some inventory of RTX 30-series gaming desktops from vendors including ABS, Asus, HP and Skytech. After taking a look at the PCs that each site has in stock, here are the best deals I found — from a desktop discounted to $850 with RTX 3050 graphics to a fully loaded beast with an RTX 3090 GPU.

Check back — I’ll keep this list updated as I find new deals on RTX 30-series gaming desktops.
Skytech Blaze II Gaming PC
RTX 3050 graphics for $850
It’s rare to find a gaming desktop with RTX 30-series graphics of any ilk for less than $1,000. This Skytech PC features the entry-level GPU in Nvidia’s RTX 30-series lineup, the GeForce RTX 3050, and is only $850. The rest of the specs are fairly midrange, with a 10th-gen Core i5 processor and only 8GB of RAM. With a 600-watt power supply, however, you’ve got some room to grow with this budget gaming PC.
Thermaltake LCGS Avalanche 360T
RTX 3060 Ti graphics for $1,699
This Thermaltake is powered by an AMD-Nvidia combo, specifically the six-core Ryzen 5 5600X CPU and GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics. It also includes 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD and a 700-watt power supply and is $101 off right now at Newegg.
