Eligible Prebuilt Gaming PC Deals

Walmart is offering a CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme RTX 5070 Gaming PC for just $1,399 with free shipping after a $471 instant discount. It’s equipped with a 360mm liquid-cooled Intel Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus CPU, GeForce RTX 5070 12GB GPU, 16GB of DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. The GeForce RTX 5070 is the best Nvidia card for 1080p and 1440p gaming and by itself this card retails for $600 (although generally it’s higher these days). It’s also powerful enough to run most games at 4K, although at that point you’ll see noticeable gains jumping up to a 5070 Ti.
Eligible Gaming Laptop Deals

Walmart is offering a stellar price on Gigabyte’s highest-end gaming laptop. For a limited time you can pick up a Gigabyte AORUS Master 16″ gaming laptop for just $3,599 after an $800 off instant discount. This all-metal laptop features a gorgeous OLED display, an Intel Core Ultra 9 HX series CPU, and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 discrete graphics. The RTX 5090 is the most powerful mobile graphics card on the market, performing about 15% better than the RTX 5080.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis show loads of promise
Star Wars: Galactic Racer will be the first of the two games to be released. It may initially come across as a standard racer, but IGN’s Matt Purslow was surprised by the actual depth of its roguelike campaign. Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis won’t be out until next year. This is a ground-up remake of the original 1996 Tomb Raider. We’ve had a chance to preview it and so far IGN’s Simon Cardy is impressed that this 30-year old adventure is feeling like a brand new experience.
