Best deals for PC gamers today: boutique rigs and game bundles

Today’s lineup mixes boutique muscle with budget-friendly firepower. The RUSH Mk. IV from MAINGEAR is a top-tier build I’m personally using—and it shows. Built, optimised, and debloated on the same bench it was assembled on, it’s the kind of machine that screams craftsmanship. You’re paying for a system that’s more than parts in a box: it’s pristine cable management, smart airflow, clean software, and solid support from people who actually know what they’re doing.

If that price tag stings, the Skytech King 95 offers a much more affordable way into RX 9070 XT territory. It pairs AMD’s mid-high Ryzen 7 7800X3D with the same GPU, plenty of DDR5 RAM, and solid components throughout. Beyond that, we’ve rounded up a healthy mix of gear: keyboards that clack just right, mice with sensors sharp enough to shave atoms, and SSDs fast enough to make load screens a memory. Plus, a couple of bundles worth grabbing just for the Steam keys alone.

A fully loaded rig with AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Radeon RX 9070 XT, this RUSH Night Drive system doesn’t mess about. It’s kitted out with 48GB of T-Force RGB memory, a 2TB NVMe SSD, ASRock’s Phantom X870E motherboard, and MAINGEAR’s Epic 360 RGB cooling. At $3,774, it’s a premium build ready to go in five days—though your GPU may vary depending on stock.

If you want a keyboard that lets everyone know you’ve got taste, the Azoth 75 delivers. With a crisp OLED screen, hot-swappable switches, and that gasket-mount typing feel, it’s as much a desk trophy as it is a peripheral. And yes, it comes with a lube kit—because ASUS knows its audience.
