Between GPU shortages, RAM prices climbing, and the general cost of PC parts right now, building your own gaming rig has gotten considerably less straightforward than it used to be. The Skytech Gaming O11V makes a compelling case for skipping that process entirely. It’s down to $1,649.99 at Best Buy, a $230 saving off its $1,879.99 comp value, and the spec sheet is exactly what you want to see at this price.
The headline component here is the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT. AMD’s latest GPU generation has been turning heads for its performance-per-dollar ratio, and the 9070 XT in particular sits in a sweet spot for high-refresh 1440p gaming and capable 4K performance. Paired with an AMD Ryzen 7 7700, you’re getting eight cores and sixteen threads of processing headroom, which handles modern titles, background apps, and streaming without breaking a sweat.
Then there’s the memory. 32GB of RAM in a prebuilt at this price is notable right now, given how far DDR5 costs have climbed. Buying that capacity separately would take a significant bite out of any self-build budget before you’ve even looked at a GPU. The 1TB NVMe SSD rounds things out with fast boot times and enough room for a solid game library before additional storage becomes a conversation.
Pricing out a comparable self-build right now is a humbling exercise. The RX 9070 XT alone is selling for ~$750 and above at retail, and that’s before you factor in the Ryzen 7 7700, 32GB of RAM, NVMe storage, a case, a power supply, and a Windows license. The Skytech O11V bundles all of that, assembled and ready to go, for $1,649.99. The $230 discount brings it further into territory where the math genuinely doesn’t favor building your own unless you have specific component preferences or existing parts to carry over.
If you want a capable gaming PC that handles 1440p and beyond without the current headache of sourcing parts at inflated prices, the Skytech O11V at $1,649.99 is a well-timed deal. The RX 9070 XT, Ryzen 7 7700, and 32GB of RAM add up to a machine that won’t need an upgrade conversation for a good while.
Imagine tapping a Zelda icon on your iPhone and jumping straight into Hyrule. A new open-source project called nxnative makes that possible by repackaging Switch games you’ve bought into apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no emulator in the middle.
Why does this run so well on Apple devices?
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
