Today's stats
Justin reviewed
Deal meter: 100/100
100 is its lowest price since we started tracking it, 0 its highest (16 days of prices).
Power cost: about $12.15 a month, $145.85 a year.
An estimate: about 740W from the wall while gaming (the RTX 5090's rated 575W, the CPU and the rest of the PC, through the power supply). 18¢ is about the 2026 US average; use the rate on your bill. Idle and desktop use draw far less.

Not one of our picks: the listing doesn't say which CPU generation it has.
How much gaming its price buys today: its graphics card's speed per dollar, then its price against other PCs with that card, any real price drop, how well its CPU, memory and storage fit the card, and its brand. 4.6 FPS per $100 (Fortnite (Benchmark), 1440p).
FPS from Justin's own testing, measured or estimated (each number says which). How we get our numbers
Is it a good deal?
FPS verdict: On average across all 9 games: 292 FPS est. at 1080p, 257 FPS est. at 1440p and 178 FPS est. at 4K. That is high refresh (144+ FPS) at 1080p, 1440p and 4K. 3.4 FPS per $100 at 1440p. est.: estimated, as in the FPS section. At Justin's settings (Max, native).

CPU not listed
CPU not listed: the listing doesn't say which generation its CPU is, and an older one holds a graphics card back, so we can't call it a deal. These PCs we can vouch for cost about the same.

- Lowest price since we started tracking on Oct 1
- Not a real drop: this PC sold for about $7,500 in October
