I put together a 4K gaming PC for $1,200 (or 2K for $1,000) using ****** Friday hardware deals

This isn’t the best ****** Friday we’ve seen for GPU and CPU deals, but still, if you know what to buy, you can put together a powerful gaming PC for cheap. Based on our knowledge and testing of GPUs and CPUs, I’ve put together a parts list for a PC that could comfortably play games at 4K ultra settings for just $1,231. 

If you take the GPU down a level, you can get this rig down to just over $1,000. That less-expensive build can still play games at 2K resolution (2560 x 1440) and ultra settings really well. Here’s our parts list.

from Newegg. For $299, you can get an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D, which uses 3D VCache to be great for gaming, an MSI MPG B550 motherboard and 32GB of Corsair DDR4 RAM.

Our GPU of choice si the ASRock Radeon RX 7900 XT with 20GB of VRAM. According to our tests, the 7900 XT can exceed 60 fps at 4K ultra on most titles.

If we wanted to save about $200 and settle for gaming at 2K, we’d go with a Radeon RX 7800XT which can ****** the 60 fps mark at 2K ultra.

We didn’t skimp on the SSD here. It’s a WD ****** SN850X at 2TB capacity. With 7,300 MB/s reads, this is very fast.

Our case is a Phanteks XT Pro Ultra, which is one of the best PC cases you can buy and now available for just $69. This case comes with four RGB fans and has plenty of room for our motherboard, GPU, 240mm AIO and other goodies.

Our power supply and cooler are nothing to type home about, but they are cheap. We went with an ID-Cooling Frostflow 240mm to keep the CPU cool and an MSI MAG A750BN,  750-watt power supply.
