RTX 5080 prebuilt with 9800X3D drops $500 below April pricing

A prebuilt gaming PC pairing NVIDIA's RTX 5080 with AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D is selling for $500 less than it did in April, according to Tom's Hardware. The system includes 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 2TB SSD.

This is notable because most RTX 50-series systems have climbed in price since spring, driven by tariffs and demand. The 9800X3D remains the fastest gaming CPU you can buy, thanks to its 3D V-Cache, and 32GB is the current sweet spot for RAM—16GB is too tight for modern AAA titles.

The deal stands out in a market where prebuilts with high-end Blackwell cards have mostly gotten more expensive. If you've been waiting for RTX 5080 pricing to settle, this is one of the first real dips.
