Newegg cuts $300 from an RTX 5070 gaming PC with a Ryzen 7 8700F
A ready-made gaming PC with an RTX 5070 does not have to cost over $2,000. Newegg has taken $300 off this iBUYPOWER Slate desktop, bringing it to $1,799.99 against its displayed $2,099.99 reference price.
The discounted model, SBA7N5704, pairs Nvidia’s 12GB graphics card with an AMD Ryzen 7 8700F, 16GB of DDR5 memory and a 1TB NVMe SSD. Newegg showed the new PC available to add to the cart, with the retailer listed as both seller and shipper.
For someone replacing an older gaming desktop, the appeal is getting the graphics card, Windows 11 Home and the rest of the system in one purchase. You also get a keyboard and mouse, although you will need to supply your own monitor.

What you get with the RTX 5070 desktop
The desktop RTX 5070 has 12GB of video memory and supports Nvidia’s DLSS features in compatible games. It is a sensible card to consider for 1440p gaming, but performance will still depend on the game and the settings you choose. Frame generation is not available in every title.
Alongside it, the Ryzen 7 8700F has eight cores and 16 threads. AMD says this processor requires a discrete graphics card, so connect your display to the RTX 5070 rather than assuming the motherboard video outputs will work.
There is a 750W power supply, built-in Wi-Fi and an air cooler for the processor. Newegg also notes that component brands and configurations can vary, which is worth keeping in mind if you care about the specific motherboard or SSD inside your PC.

Consider the memory before you buy
The 16GB of system memory is a reasonable starting point, though I would consider whether you want 32GB for newer games alongside other apps. Check the supplied motherboard and available memory slots before planning an upgrade. The 1TB drive also has to make room for Windows and updates as well as your games.
That $300 saving is measured against the price Newegg displays on this listing; it is not a claim about the PC’s lowest historical price. The $1,799.99 offer did not show a required coupon or membership when checked, but prices and delivery can change, so confirm the final terms before ordering.
