Amazon’s October Prime Day sales event is fully underway. It begins today, Oct. 7, and will continue until the end of Oct. 8. I’ve seen a lot of great discounts for smartphones, laptops, and more on the platform, but one deal in particular stands out for gamers. Right now, the CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme VR Gaming PC<!–> is on sale for $1,680, a 15% discount off its usual $1,970 price tag. That is also the lowest price it’s ever been, by the way.

I recommend this tower over many on Amazon for the sheer value it delivers.
At its core, the CyberPowerPC runs an Intel Core i9-14900KF processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card. A setup like this won’t rival high-end machines, but it still manages to provide excellent value for its price, striking a balance between performance and cost. This machine is a strong choice for gamers who want to play their favorite titles at maxed-out graphical settings, just as developers intended.

Backing up that hardware pairing is 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a spacious 2TB SSD, ensuring fast load times and plenty of room for a growing library. Considering how big game files have gotten nowadays, you’re going to need all that space.
User reviews on the model highlight the PC’s solid build quality. One customer praised the clean cable management — an often overlooked detail that helps with the computer’s longevity. Messy cables can trap heat, which leads to overheating. To keep internal temperatures cool, the chassis boasts individual fans and vents across its body, promoting good airflow. It even has a liquid cooling system just for the processor, so it stays fresh under stress.
Finally, as the product listing image shows, the CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme<!–> comes with a free mouse and keyboard.

How I rated this deal
As per ZDNET’s rating system, I gave this deal a score of 2/5. While the discount isn’t huge, it’s still worth consideration since the PC packs hardware that launched less than a year ago. You’re getting current-gen hardware capable of delivering one of the best gaming experiences today at a pretty fair price. I recommend grabbing this PC while October Prime Day lasts.
As per Amazon, this deal ends on Oct. 8; the final day of the October Prime Day sales event.
