You can pick up 32GB of DDR5 RAM with a whole PC for $999 for Black Friday

  • For Black Friday, iBuyPower’s Element SE gaming PC is on sale at Walmart for $999 ($300 off), featuring a Ryzen 7 8700F processor, Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti GPU, and 32GB of DDR5 RAM.
  • The same PC can be found at Best Buy for an all-time low price of $779.99 ($260 off) if you’re willing to step down to the RTX 5060 and halve the RAM.
  • The Element SE comes with a 1TB SSD, 600W 80 Plus Gold power supply, and a tri-panel tempered glass case.
  • Best Buy’s version of the Element SE is currently on sale for $779.99, making it a more affordable option than Walmart’s price.
  • This deal is a good opportunity to get a pre-built gaming PC with decent specs at a discounted price, especially since RAM prices are currently high and may surge again after Black Friday.

If you were hoping for a huge deal on RAM during Black Friday, well, stop being silly. Depending on the RAM kit you want, buying it right now might be too costly to justify, an unfortunate trend that my colleague Sean Hollister recently pointed out. You can either wait out this period of surge pricing, or if you’re jumping into PCs for the first time and want to play games at 1080p, get a nice deal on a prebuilt gaming PC that has some decent specs for the price.

The builders iBuyPower has a couple of machines selling at a discount, including its Element SE, which is down to $999 ($300 off) at Walmart. That PC comes with AMD’s Ryzen 7 8700F processor, Nvidia’s midrange RTX 5060 Ti (8GB) GPU, a 1TB SSD, and 32GB of that precious DDR5 clocked at 5,200MHz — all shipped in a nice tri-panel tempered glass case. Here are the full specs, as listed on iBuyPower’s site.

If you’re alright with stepping down to the RTX 5060, halving the RAM, and swapping out the AMD processor for the similarly powerful Intel Core i5 14400F, Best Buy’s version of the Element SE is currently on sale for an all-time low $779.99 ($260 off). It ships in the same case, with the same 600W 80 Plus Gold power supply, too.
