This super-solid RTX 4060 Ti gaming PC is on sale for $1,000, and for just $99 more you can upgrade to an RTX 4070

Yeyian Tanto gaming PC | Core i5 14400F | RTX 4060 Ti | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $1399.99 $999.99 at Newegg (save $400)
This is a great price for an RTX 4060 Ti rig with snappy DDR5 RAM and a current-gen Core i5 14400F processor, making it a great all-rounder for just $1,000. Just be aware that the «F» in processor's name means it lacks integrated graphics, so if your 4060 Ti ever goes kaput, you'll have no video-out. 

Yeyian Tanto | Intel Core i5 13400F | RTX 4070 | 16 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,599$1,099 at Newegg (save $500)
RTX 4070 machines can vary in price and specification quite significantly, but here you're getting that great 1440p GPU (with even some 4K credentials thanks to DLSS 3), a nice and speedy Core i5 paired with some decent DDR5 RAM and a 1 TB SSD. For close to a thousand bucks, that's a really great selection of hardware that makes it an excellent gaming rig for a budget price.

It's hard to decide between these two Yeyian Tanto gaming PCs as they're both wonderful deals in their own right.

On the one hand, we have an all-round solid RTX 4060 Ti rig sitting on a $1,000 (Newegg) price tag that's usually reserved for PCs that make some sacrifices. On the other, for just $99 extra at $1,099 (Newegg) you can sacrifice a little RAM and get a rig with an RTX 4070.

It's a tough choice. The CPU difference doesn't alter things either, really, since the 4060 Ti build's Core i5 14400 is essentially a refreshed version of the 4070 build's Core i5 13400. Neither run on a platform that you can use to upgrade to a next-gen Arrow Lake chip, but both should be more than capable of processing game data fast enough for an RTX 4060 Ti or RTX 4070. Just ensure you have the latest microcode update installed to prevent any instability issues.
