The CyberPowerPC Radeon RX 7800 XT Gaming PC Is Cheaper Than an Xbox Ally X
One of the best deals I’ve seen all year for a budget gaming PC has gone live well ahead of Black Friday. Walmart is currently offering the CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme Radeon RX 7800 XT gaming PC for just $839 with free delivery. The RX 7800 XT is a late 2023 GPU that competes with the GeForce RTX 4070. It performs better than the RTX 5060 Ti in many games (despite being less expensive) and is a good option for budget 1440p gaming. That’s pretty impressive considering the fact that this PC costs $160 less than the Xbox Ally X handheld. In fact, you could pick up a 27″ 1440p gaming monitor and still end up at about the same price.

The CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 8700F processor, GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB M.2 SSD. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700F is an assuming yet capable CPU with a 5GHz max boost clock and 8 cores (16 threads). It’s paired with a generous 32GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD. A surprising yet welcome feature is that this system uses newer DDR5 RAM. It probably won’t make a noticeable performance difference, but it does makes the system a bit more futureproof as DDR4 gets phased out.
The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT GPU is a great choice for 1440p gaming
The Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card specifically competes with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4070. In terms of pure rasterized performance, they’re comparable. The RTX 4070 does win in ray tracing performance and has better upscaling (Nvidia’s DLSS tech is better than AMD’s FSR). Compared to the newer GPUs, the RX 7800 XT is actually superior to both the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti, even though gaming PCs with either of these cards equipped will generally cost you more. In terms of real-world performance, you should be able to run most games at up to 1440p resolution and 60fps framerate. In her late 2023 review, Jacqueline Thomas called it “easily the best graphics card of its generation for most people.”
