If you're looking for a capable 1080p gaming PC at a solid budget price, you can't do much better than this deal. Possibly through this weekend only, Walmart is currently offering a Skytech Nebula gaming PC with AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB graphics card for just $1,299 with free shipping. The RX 9060 XT graphics card is the superior 16GB VRAM variant that will run even the most recently released games smoothly at 60fps+ in 1080p.
Save $500 off Skytech Nebula RX 9060 XT (16GB) Gaming PC
The Skytech Nebula is equipped with an AMD Ryzne 7 9700X CPU, Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB GPU, 32GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU is an 8-core, 16 thread processor with a max boost clock of 5.5GHz. It's a good CPU for gaming because of its high clock speed. It only has 10 cores, but that's plenty for games since very few titles can benefit from more than eight or even six cores. The CPU is cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler and the rig is powered by a 650W 80Plus Gold certified power supply.
The Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB GPU is an excellent card for 1080p gaming
The Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card comes in two variants, with the only difference between the two being the amount of VRAM: 8GB or 16GB. Unlike the vast majority of prebuilts which are equipped with the 8GB model, this particular system is equipped with the 16GB model. If you can afford it, you should only get the 16GB model. Numerous outlets (including our own) have demonstrated that the performance gap between the 8GB and 16GB models is huge.
The Radeon RX 9060 XT is an excellent GPU for 1080p gaming. It performs within range of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. The 16GB of VRAM also allows this GPU to hold its own in 1440p gaming, especially if you don't want to spend the extra hundreds of dollars more to upgrade to a more powerful card like the RX 9070 XT.
