$450. That is the exact amount Newegg removed from the list price of the ABS Stratos II Ruby gaming PC on October 23, 2026. The system now sells for $2,549.99.

The configuration includes an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, and 32GB of DDR5 memory. ABS is a brand owned by Newegg, so the machine appears frequently in the retailer's inventory. Tom's Hardware identified this specific unit as the least expensive RTX 5070 Ti rig currently listed on the site.

The central processing unit is an eight-core chip featuring 96MB of L3 cache through AMD's 3D V-Cache technology. The outlet notes that while the chip is no longer the absolute top performer in benchmarks, it remains very close to the leader. It also states that no Intel processor currently matches the gaming performance of an X3D part.

The graphics card belongs to Nvidia's current Blackwell generation. It contains 8,960 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 video memory. This memory capacity provides more headroom than the 8GB found on the RTX 5060 and RTX 5050. The card supports DLSS with multi-frame generation, a feature designed to help maintain frame rates in demanding 4K titles with ray tracing enabled.

The system uses two 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws M5 Neo RGB memory modules running at 6,000 MT/s. Storage is handled by a 2TB Team Group NV5000 M.2 SSD with Gen 4 speeds. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and Ethernet. A Bitspower 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler manages the processor's heat.

Tom's Hardware described the pricing as strong for the current market. The review cited both the discount amount and the pairing of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D with the RTX 5070 Ti as key factors in the value proposition.
