RTX 4090 gaming PCs and even the RTX 4090 itself are starting to drop in price—and these are the best Prime Day deals I've found so far

Well, it's been a long run of astonishing prices for the RTX 4090—and gaming PCs featuring Nvidia's monster GPU—but this Amazon Prime Day we're just starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Prime Day itself doesn't technically kick off until tomorrow, but as veterans of the sales will tell you, the good deals start a lot earlier than that.

RTX 4090 pricing is still silly money, but at least with this card, you're getting it at MSRP. What with all the export ban nonsense, the RTX 4090 was way up over $2,000 for a time. Now it's back down to something vaguely sane. And it's still by far the fastest graphics card on the planet. Or off it, for that matter.

Let's start off with the RTX 4090 itself. We've seen prices for Nvidia's top-of-the-range card go up to quite frankly astronomical figures, and while it's got a staggering amount of power in one single component, at $2,000 and up it really wasn't worth it—not
