iBUYPOWER - Slate Gaming Desktop PC
Is this PC a good deal?
iBUYPOWER - Slate Gaming Desktop PC is a prebuilt gaming PC from bestbuy with Arc B570 graphics, Core Ultra 5 225F processor, 16GB DDR5 memory, 1TB SSD storage. At $1,249.99, it is listed as in stock. PC Per Dollar estimates similar DIY parts at $959, so building it yourself is about $291 cheaper. Its PC/$ score is 17.8, with a 35/100 fair performance rating. Use it as a fast shortlist signal rather than a guarantee: a good score means the hardware package is priced well against current component estimates, while a weak score means the convenience premium is doing more of the work. The retailer page should still be verified before purchase because final price, stock status, shipping, taxes, retailer-specific bundles, and included parts can change after PC Per Dollar last checked the listing.
