If you’re looking to get a gaming PC for the first time, this isn’t a bad place to start.

Update: The original deal has ended, but Techfast have another deal on a Ryzen 5 pre-built RIG with a GTX 1060 6GB for just under $800 when you use the P5OFF checkout code. You don’t get the 1TB second storage drive, however, and you’ll still want to upgrade the RAM to at least 16GB down the road. Check it out here.

Techfast has a neat pre-built Ryzen system for sale through their eBay store right now. For $799, you can pick up a Ryzen 5 2600 system with a RX 580 8GB GPU, 120GB SSD/1TB SATA of storage, and 8GB of RAM for $799.

It’s a good start for a gaming rig. The Ryzen 5 2600 is a great bang-for-buck CPU, and some extra investment around Christmas in some more RAM will make it a nice well-rounded gaming PC.

There’s also a separate $999 bundle that comes with a 27″ AOC 2700SWH monitor if you don’t have one already. That in and of itself is not a bargain – you can pick up 27″ AOC IPS monitors for $200 – but getting it in one package is convenient and can save you a bit on shipping. (If you want something with a better refresh rate that’s still relatively affordable, this Acer 24.5″ 144hz screen is worth a look.)

EBay Plus members will also be able to save a little more, but $799 to get all the base components pre-built is still a decent offering. The six cores should come in handy for productivity tasks as well, if you dabble in that. Head here for all the details.
