Newegg now sells the ABS Stratos II Ruby pre-built gaming computer for $2,549.99. This price represents a $450 reduction from the standard list price for the unit.

The system combines an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card. It also includes 32GB of DDR5 memory. ABS is a private label owned by Newegg, which accounts for the wide availability of its hardware on the retailer’s site.

Tom's Hardware reported on October 23, 2026, that this configuration is currently the least expensive RTX 5070 Ti gaming PC available at Newegg. The publication anticipates that stock will move quickly at this price point.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is an eight-core chip featuring 96MB of L3 cache due to 3D V-Cache technology. This larger cache reduces reliance on slower system memory, lowering latency and stabilizing frame rates. While no longer the absolute top performer in benchmarks, the chip remains very close to the leader, and no Intel processor matches its gaming performance according to the review.

The RTX 5070 Ti is a Blackwell-generation card with 8,960 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 memory. It targets 1440p and 4K resolution gaming and supports DLSS with multi-frame generation. Tom's Hardware notes that the card handles 4K ray tracing in current titles, though users may need to adjust settings in the most demanding games. The 16GB memory allowance exceeds the 8GB found in the RTX 5060 and RTX 5050.

Additional specifications include two 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws M5 Neo RGB memory modules running at 6,000 MT/s. Storage consists of a 2TB Team Group NV5000 M.2 SSD with Gen 4 speeds. The system connects via Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and Ethernet, and the processor is cooled by a Bitspower 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler.

Tom's Hardware characterized the $2,549.99 price as a strong offer for the current market, citing the $450 discount and the specific pairing of the 9800X3D and RTX 5070 Ti.
