This AMD-powered iBuyPower prebuilt has 32GB of DDR5 memory, Ryzen 7 CPU, and an RX 9060 XT GPU for just $1000 — $250 off provides pricing relief during RAM pricing crisis

If high memory prices are holding you back from building a new gaming PC, opting for a solid prebuilt can be a smart choice. Take, for instance, this iBuyPower Slate Mesh gaming desktop PC that pairs 32GB of DDR5 memory with an AMD CPU and GPU, available at a discounted price of $999.99 on Best Buy. With a listed retail price of $1,249.99, you save $250 and avoid the inflated cost of purchasing memory separately.

The system is powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, a reliable gaming CPU with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a maximum boost clock of 5.5 GHz. The CPU is cooled using a single tower cooler, which should be adequate unless the CPU is pushed to its limits.

There’s also 32GB of DDR5 memory, and while it is slightly slower at 5200 MT/s, there’s nothing really to complain about, especially considering the ongoing RAM crisis. Graphics duties are handled by the Radeon RX 9060 XT, AMD’s latest budget-driven GPU offering, though it is the 8GB VRAM variant. This may become a limitation if you plan on playing modern AAA titles at 1440p or higher with high-resolution textures.

For storage, you get a 1TB NVMe SSD and the option to expand it further, as the B650 motherboard included in the build offers a secondary M.2 slot. There is also the option to add two 2.5-inch SATA drives and a 3.5-inch SATA HDD. The motherboard also includes numerous I/O ports, including two USB Type-C ports, five USB 3.2 Type-A ports, four USB 2.0 Type-A ports, an Ethernet port, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support.

The included power supply unit is rated at 600W, which is sufficient for this configuration, but if you plan to upgrade in the future, you will need a more powerful unit. The included cabinet comes with three RGB fans at the front, one RGB fan at the rear, along with proper ventilation mesh all-around, and an RGB LED strip embedded into the side of the case. The $999 prebuilt gaming PC also includes a full-size RGB backlit keyboard and a gaming mouse from iBuypower.
