For Prime Day, Amazon is offering this Skytech Shiva RTX 4070 gaming PC for only $1379.99. That's definitely the lowest price you can find right now for a prebuilt gaming PC with the current-gen RTX 4070 GPU. The RTX 4070 has an edge over the GTX 3080, and that's really impressive considering the fact that a similarly equipped RTX 3080 gaming PC will sell for more than this Prime Day deal right now.
Skytech Shiva AMD Ryzen 7 5700X RTX 4070 Gaming PC for $1380
The full specs on this config include an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of DDR4-3200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVME SSD. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU has a turbo boost clock of 4.6GHz with 8 cores, 16 threads, and 32MB cache. It's a great CPU for both gaming and workstation use. It's amply cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler.
The GeForce RTX 4070 matches the performance of the older RTX 3080 but with a few new features exclusive to RTX 40 series GPUs. That means the RTX 4070 can still easily hold its own in any game at 1080p, 1440p, and even 4K. This would be my GPU of choice for comfortable 1440p gaming. Because it's a current gen 40 series card, the RTX 4070 also supports DLSS 3.0, which is DLSS 2.0 plus frame generation. Games that support DLSS 3.0 (like Diablo 4, Jedi Survivor, or Hogwarts Legacy) benefit with noticeably higher fps. All of these components are powered by a 650W 80PLUS Gold certified power supply.
Also consider this RTX 4070 Ti config for $1699.99
If you're willing to spend a little over $200 more, you can opt for an RTX 4070 Ti config instead. The rest of the specs are very similar, except for the fact that this CPU is cooled by an even beefier 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler. The RTX 4070 Ti is about 20% more powerful than the RTX 4070. If you're gaming in 1080p or 1440p, then the extra power probably isn't worth the price premium. However, if you're gunning for 4K, that extra 20% might be all the difference between "comfortable" and "manageable" 4K gameplay.
