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.
