by It’s Black Friday Deals Week for PCs, Xbox and more. And while you can build your own PC gaming station with a little time and effort (not to mention all the shipping costs), well-known boutique PC maker CLX (see CLX Ra) has some big deals right now. Even better, these PCs are at your local Best Buy, making returns, exchanges, and support even better (especially if you have Best Buy Rewards).
We start from the cheapest to the most expensive to make these easy.
First up is the CLX SET mini-tower in black, with an eight-core AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (4.6 GHz), 16 GB of memory, Radeon Graphics Shared and a 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD. Typically, such a system costs $899, but you can now save $100 to bring it to $799.
The CLX SET is a good entry-level PC as you can later add a dedicated graphics card for serious gaming. The tower has four fans, all of which light up and add some pizzazz to this tower. The power supply is a decent 550 watts. For ports, you get one HDMI, nine USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi AC for connectivity.
Overall, the CLX SET is a good choice for those on a budget who want a powerful Windows 11 home PC but would rather build a bit later with some future upgrades.
The CLX SET with Windows 11 Home, a 3.7 GHz ten-core Intel Core i9 10900KF, 32 GB DDR4 memory at 3000 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and a 960 GB SSD + 4 TB hard drive as storage for more serious gaming rigs. This PC normally costs $2,099.99 but is now $300 cheaper for only $1,799.99.
With a 750-watt power supply, an overclockable processor, and the RTX 3060 Ti with DLSS, this rig is all you really need to launch serious games, especially with 32GB of DDR4 (3000MHz) RAM. Upgrading this system is easy as you have two more memory slots for RAM. In addition to liquid cooling for the CPU, you get three fans in the front for sucking in air and a large outlet for the rear.
There are plenty of ports: Ethernet, HDMI, ten USB and three DisplayPort outputs, so you can easily connect three external displays. Connectivity is enhanced by Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in addition to that Ethernet jack.
As said, this is just a great all-round gaming PC, especially for $1800.
Now it’s off to the big leagues, a CLX SET with a full tower that offers plenty of options for expansion later, although you’ll be ready to go right out of the box. This system includes Windows 11 Home, Intel Core i9 10900KF, 64GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 and 1TB NVMe SSD + 6TB HDD for storage.
A 750-watt PSU powers everything that offers a lot of overhead.
This is a powerful rig, especially thanks to the RTX 3080 that lets you jump into true 4K gaming thanks to DLSS. We’re also drooling over 64GB of 3200 DDR4 RAM and that 6TB of storage so you can keep your large gaming library installed and ready to go.
Again, you get Ethernet, HDMI, ten USBs, and three DisplayPort outputs along with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
You can save $310 for this big boy, bringing the price down to $2,549.99. Is the RTX 3080 worth it? Yes, it is special. It also has a solid 4.8 stars out of 5 for reviews, so people seem happy with it.
And for the grandfather, assuming you have $5,000 outstanding (which is $500 cheaper than the regular $5,500 price tag)!
This full-tower in beautiful, pristine white comes with a super-powerful 16-core 5.7GHz AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, 64GB DDR5 6000 memory, GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD + 6TB HDD for storage .
The stars of the show here are the RTX 3090 Ti, DDR5 RAM and the blazing fast AMD Ryzen 9 CPU. This system will fly.
For ports, you get no less than 14 for USB, 3 DisplayPorts, HDMI, Ethernet and Wi-Fi AC for connectivity. The power supply is also a whopping 1000 watts, which is well above what most systems typically have for heavy gaming. The system also features seven fans – three in the front, three for the liquid radiator on top and one in the rear, which is the ideal arrangement for maximum cooling.
While it’s not a cheap system, if you want an awesome out-of-the-box experience from a well-known custom PC maker, you can’t go wrong with this CLX SET Gaming Desktop.
