Amazon is selling this CyberPowerPC Xtreme VR gaming PC for less than any place else, even undercutting other PCs on Amazon with similar specs. It comes with an Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 12GB and Intel Core i5 11600KF, which is seriously good value for $1,200.
This PC fulfills all the requirements for a great mid-range machine in 2021. That RTX 3060 12GB is a great graphics card that's tough to find on its own nowadays, and paired with the Intel Core i5 11600KF, you shouldn't have to worry about being precious with the presets in-game. That's paired with 16GB of DDR4 RAM, loaded into an Intel B560 motherboard.

You'll find 500GB of NVMe SSD storage to fill with your Steam library, which is a bit slim by today's standards. You'll be easily able to upgrade this PC with a different SSD or expand on what's in there, at least, or consider the other model of this machine we've spotted over at B&H Photo with a 1TB SSD.
The only other gaming PC deal we've seen around this price boasting similar specifications is the near-exact same model over at B&H Photo. That model also requires a little patience, unless you can find it in-store near you, and comes with a 1TB SSD for $1,230. Definitely worth considering that extra SSD capacity, too.
Either PC offers a good base from which you can build up an even more kitted out gaming PC. Extra SSD storage, or a HDD for high capacity, makes for an easy and obvious upgrade, as would a better CPU cooler. It appears CyberPowerPC opts for a compact cooler on this model, so you may want to look into a beefier cooler for peace of mind.
Both PCs do come with a caveat, however, and it's likely down to their apparent popularity. Both Amazon and B&H Photo cite stock returning in the near-future, and Amazon states the earliest ship date for the CyberPowerPC Xtreme VR is early January.
Not ideal if you're shopping for the holidays, but if you can wait just a bit longer you might save some cash in the long-run.
