Get the world’s fastest gaming CPU and a DLSS 5-capable GPU in a gaming PC for $2,299 — fully loaded powerhouse sports Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RTX 5080 Founders Edition, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD

The CyberPowerPC SLC8500WST, priced at $2,299 through Walmart, pairs a Ryzen 7 9800X3D with a GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition in a system that appears to deliver strong value. The GPU alone carries a $1,579 starting price, while the processor costs $449—a combined $2,028 before accounting for memory, storage, power delivery and assembly. Finding 32GB of DDR5-6000 memory and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD for the remaining $271 would be difficult in today's market, let alone as part of a complete, functioning machine.

AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D remains the dominant choice for gaming workloads two years after its launch. The eight-core Zen 5 design carries 96MB of L3 cache and continues to outpace competing offerings from both Intel and AMD in gaming-specific performance metrics and value proposition.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition rounds out the system, delivering strong performance at 4K resolution (3840x2160) and high frame rates at lower settings. The Founders Edition variant has become scarce in retail channels, making its inclusion in a prebuilt noteworthy. The card supports DLSS 5, and testing has confirmed solid performance with the feature enabled on the RTX 5080.

Many prebuilt systems compromise by pairing high-end components with budget parts elsewhere. The SLC8500WST avoids this approach. The system includes 32GB of DDR5-6000 memory, which supports both current gaming demands and future-proofing. While Walmart's listing does not specify the exact memory kit model, comparable 32GB DDR5-6000 C30 kits currently retail for approximately $429.

Storage consists of a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, providing sufficient capacity for a gaming library with fast load times. The exact SSD model remains unspecified on the product page, though budget-tier 1TB PCIe 4.0 drives typically start around $149 in the current market, which has faced pricing pressure from AI-driven demand.

Deals of this configuration and price rarely surface. For buyers considering a gaming system upgrade or new purchase, the SLC8500WST represents a notable opportunity at the $2,299 price point.
