RTX 3080 Desktop Deal: $2499 with Ryzen 7 5800x CPU
Due to graphics card shortages, the best Cyber Monday RTX 3080 deals usually involve buying a prebuilt desktop with the popular GPU inside. But you don't have to settle for an ugly bottom-barrel desktop with no-name components, nor do you have to pay a premium for a system from the likes of Alienware or Razer.
In one of the best Cyber Monday desktop deals this year, Amazon has a fully-loaded Thermaltake Reactor 380 gaming PC for just $2,499, reduced from $2,799. This desktop comes loaded with high-end, brand-name components, and with Thermaltake's gorgeous Tower 100 case and RGB lighting, it's a stunner.
This Thermaltake Reactor 380 is powered by a Ryzen 7 5800X CPU that's liquid-cooled by Thermaltake's own 120mm ARGB AIO. The desktop features 16GB of Thermaltake's RGB DDR4 ToughRAM running at 3,600 MHz, along with a 1TB Seagate FireCuda 520 PCIe 4.0 SSD that promises read and write speeds of 7,300 MBps and 6,900 MBps, respectively.
The system gets its juice from a Thermaltake 750W 80 Plus Gold PSU. Thermaltake doesn't officially list which RTX 3080 card it's using, but a promotional photo shows a Zotac card with RGB lighting. The company also doesn't say what model of motherboard it's using, but discloses that it's a B550 mITX model.
Perhaps the most impressive thing about the Reactor 380 is its Tower 100 case, which has glass on three sides to give you a great view of the light show inside. It also has some mesh siding also for increased airflow. It also has a front panel with two USB Type-A ports and one USB Type-C connection.
