With all the problems facing Intel's 13th and 14th generation CPUs, one can hardly blame anyone for looking to AMD for their next gaming PC build. As this Skytech Eclipse Lite build shows, you can never be too cautious.

Last week, we noted how great the RTX 4070 Super version of this Eclipse Light gaming PC is for its retail price. This RX 7800 XT version is $100 less than that and comes with all the AMD features.

The reason for going all in on AMD for building a gaming PC is that aside from current concerns about the stability of Intel CPUs, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor in this rig is still the best CPU for gaming. We also believe the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is the best mid-range graphics card on the market today, although the RX 7900 GRE is a close competitor.

Incorporate these two components into a gaming PC like this one, and you have a very solid all-rounder for $1,500 on Amazon: 32GB, 5600 MT/s of DDR5 RAM is more than enough capacity and speed for modern gaming, and the 1TB SSD is quite The 1TB SSD will be sufficient for downloading a significant number of Steam games.

If you can afford a PC like this at this price, it's a product I personally would buy right now. It's hard to choose between this or the RTX 4070 Super, but the RX 7800 XT has more VRAM (16GB vs. 12GB on the 4070 Super), and as games require more video memory at higher resolutions and settings, the lifespan will definitely improve.

How about in the real world? Well, at 1440p, you can expect around 100 fps in most good-looking games today, but this, of course, depends entirely on the game in question. Outside of games, the 7800X3D is not as good as many of Intel's current generation products in terms of productivity, but it is still good enough for gaming.

Finally, it should be noted that this SkyTech build looks absolutely gorgeous. This is no small feat when you're paying $1,500 for a gaming PC; too many $1,000+ gaming PCs cut corners on aesthetics, in my opinion. The Eclipse Lite, however, is one you can proudly display.
