Get this capable RX 9060XT iBuyPower PC for less than $1000 — there's even 32GB DDR5 RAM and a Ryzen 7 9700X CPU, the fastest processor in its category

Best Buy has knocked $250 off one of the better-balanced prebuilt PCs you can buy for under $1,000 right now. The iBuyPower Slate desktop (SBA7R96XT01) has dropped to $999.99 from a listed value of $1,249.99, and it excels in a category where corners are often cut.

What separates this system from many sub-$1,000 rivals is the platform choice. Instead of leaning on older DDR4 memory and last-generation CPUs to hit a price target, this build uses AMD’s Ryzen 7 9700X paired with 32GB of DDR5 RAM.

That combination alone puts it ahead of a lot of similarly priced desktops that ship with half the memory and slower architectures.
