Here we are, months into the pricing apocalypse, and anyone who tried to build a PC during this time relied on Newegg combo deals to bring prices down to a more reasonable point. Recently, the combos with RAM (at least any good ones) have been drying up and are no longer available, or you may just be the person who doesn’t want the hassle of building your own PC. To that end, Newegg is offering a great deal on its own ABS brand prebuilt, which not only saves you money but also the time and effort it takes to do it yourself. You can buy the ABS Stratos Aqua for only $2,175.89 when you add promo code ABS5MAY at checkout for a further 5% on top of the already hefty $1010 (30%) discount. Start gaming as soon as tomorrow!

For the money, you get a complete prebuilt gaming system, completely focused around the previous generation flagship 14900KF processor, and Nvidia’s capable RTX 5070 Ti 16GB graphics card. Alongside these key components you also get a cool looking ABS Stratos II MX220 case with lots of airflow (and included fans) and room for expansion, a quality Gamdias Helios ATX/PCIe(3.1/5.1) 850W Gold power supply, Bitspower 240mm AIO cooler, 32GB of DDR5-6400 RAM, 2TB Team Group M.2 storage, and Asus Z790 motherboard, making this one of the best deals around for a complete gaming system.
The ABS Stratos Aqua includes an Intel Core i9 14900KF processor featuring 24 total cores (8P+16E) and 32 threads, with speeds up to 6 GHz. While this isn’t the fastest gaming processor around anymore, it still holds its own, especially with higher-resolution gaming, which the video card is absolutely capable of.
The CPU drops into an Asus Z790 Gaming Wifi 7 motherboard that offers plenty of connectivity, including eight USB ports on the rear IO (one 20 Gbps Type-C), three M.2 sockets (all PCIe 4.0 x4), and four SATA ports for storage, 1 GbE, and integrated Wi-Fi 7, and will easily handle the flagship-class i9-14900KF processor. It also pairs well with the 32GB of Kingston Fury DDR5-6400 RAM and a 2TB Team Group NV5000 PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD inside. ABS also includes the Bitspower SA-XLF240BK AIO to help keep the high-performance, unlocked processor running smoothly.
The GPU is Asus’ Prime GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB (we reviewed and loved), with three fans (2.5-slots wide) and a dark grey, brushed aluminum appearance that’s sure to look good inside this case and with the black-and-white motherboard. The RTX 5070Ti is a very capable graphics card that’s good for 1080p and 1440p gaming, and even some 4K titles. You won’t find any RGB lighting on this card, but the triple-fan cooling solution will keep the card running cool and quiet.
While things used to tend to be cheaper when gathering the parts and building your own, this is often no longer the case, as larger companies can bulk buy and absorb the current price inflation better than the average consumer. Plus, building your own system isn’t for everyone. Some just simply want to open a box and get gaming. ABS also backs its systems with a 1-year warranty, so if anything goes wrong, you can easily get it fixed. If you built your own and it breaks, troubleshooting is on you.
For $2,175.49 (a total of $1,124.50 off with the promo code ABS5MAY), you can buy a complete gaming system that will run anything you throw at it with aplomb, and they even throw in a free copy of Capcom's Pragmata game ($59.99 value) on top of it all.
