Deal | RTX 5080 prebuilt gaming PC with 32 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD enjoys 10% or $300 discount

The shocking price of the Valve Steam Machine has suddenly made people realize that, even in a bad DIY PC market, building your own gaming PC or buying a prebuilt gaming system from a reputable brand is the way to go. For instance, you can get an RTX 5080 prebuilt gaming PC with 32 GB of RAM for $2,499.99 on Newegg. 

The PC in question is the Stormcraft Phantom with an RTX 5080 GPU and a Core Ultra 7 265F CPU. Stormcraft, a lesser-known but reputable maker of prebuilt gaming PCs, is also throwing in a free mechanical keyboard and a gaming mouse with every Stormcraft Phantom unit sold.

Moreover, the Core Ultra 7 265F comes with the Intel Spring Game Bundle, which includes a free copy of Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. The game currently costs $69.99 on Steam.

The Stormcraft Phantom gaming PC combines the RTX 5080 and the Core Ultra 7 265F with:

• 32 GB of DDR5-6000 RGB memory
• 2 TB of PCIe Gen 4 storage
• An 850 W 80+ Gold PSU
• A B860 motherboard with Wi-fi and Bluetooth
• A 360 mm AIO ARGB water cooler
• A total of seven ARGB fans

The hardware is packaged inside a Stormcraft tempered glass case with some front I/O.

For $2,499, the Stormcraft Phantom gaming PC looks quite appealing. This is especially true when we consider the state of the PC market, where memory and storage prices are touching the sky. So, while you can build your own RTX 5080 gaming PC at a similar price if you hunt for deals, chances are high that you’ll end up spending more. Not to mention that you’ll also have to spend time looking for components and then putting them all together.

Several Newegg reviews of the Stormcraft prebuilt PC mention that the computer is well put together and runs quietly. Some reviews also mention that the gaming PC is plug-and-play. But, as is the case with almost all prebuilt gaming PCs, don’t be surprised if you have to spend some time installing drivers and setting Windows up.

Performance-wise, the combination of the RTX 5080, 32 GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, and the Core Ultra 7 265F will easily net you 80 to 100+ FPS at 1440p in most AAA titles. You can also expect to run demanding titles at 4K 60, especially if you use DLSS. The new James Bond game, 007 First Light, runs at 60 FPS at 4K with ultra settings without using DLSS.

So, the Stormcraft Phantom gaming PC on sale for $2,499.99 is a pretty good deal. Just combine the PC with a good, affordable 4K monitor, and you’ll be playing AAA in glorious 4K for under $3,000.
