PC Build For 720 P Resolution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don't mind playing in 720 P, prepare for a basic gaming performance - your graphics won't be that great. So you won't have to spend that much if you want to get a build that can run this graphics quality.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Turned-On-Gaming-PC.jpg\" alt=\"Turned On Gaming PC\" class=\"wp-image-4863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Turned-On-Gaming-PC.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Turned-On-Gaming-PC-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>On average, you will need to spend around $300 to $400 on these PC builds. A good example would be the Ryzen 3 3200G budget build. It comes with Vega's integrated graphics card that will run games in either 30 FPs or 60 FPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While staying within a budget, you can get a cheaper motherboard like the <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07FWVJSHC?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Gigabyte B450\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B07FWVJSHC\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Gigabyte B450M DS3H  AMD Ryzen AM4\/Micro ATX\/M.2\/HMDI\/DVI\/USB 3.1\/DDR4\/Motherboard\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">Gigabyte B450<\/a>.

PC Build For 1440 P Resolution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can't have a tight budget if you want to game in 1440 P. You will need a PC build that can handle high settings and graphics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, you will have to pay around $1,000 minimum if you want these types of computers. With peripherals, the minimum you can possibly spend will reach the $1,200 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, you can get your hands on a PC with some pretty high-end components. So, it will be able to handle anything you throw at it, regardless of whether they're high-performance games or heavy-duty video editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To game in 1440 P at a 60-frame rate, you will need to at least get the <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07MP5NNKF?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"GTX 1070 Ti\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B07MP5NNKF\" data-aawp-product-title=\"EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition 8GB GDDR5 EVGA OCX Scanner OC White LED DX12OSD Support  PXOC  Graphics Card 08G-P4-5671-KR  Renewed\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">GTX 1070 Ti<\/a> or <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B091PVFYXM?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"RTX 2060-Super\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B091PVFYXM\" data-aawp-product-title=\"MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDRR6 192-bit HDMI\/DP 1710 MHz Boost Clock Ray Tracing Turing Architecture VR Ready Graphics Card  RTX 2060 Ventus GP OC\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">RTX 2060-Super<\/a> graphics card.

You probably won't want to skimp if you're willing to spend so much on a PC. So, if you want to get a good power supply, case, and mouse, your bill can reach the $1,500 -1,800 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_PC_Builds_For_4K_Resolution\"><\/span>4. PC Builds For 4K Resolution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gaming in 4K is an incredible experience. But to get a hold of such an experience, you will need to pay some pretty big bucks. I'm talking about spending at least $2,000 minimum (at a good deal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of your budget would go towards getting your graphics cards. I recommend the <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08CLV8CKP?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"RTX 2080 Super\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B08CLV8CKP\" data-aawp-product-title=\"MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 Super 8GB GDRR6 256-Bit HDMI\/DP Nvlink Torx Fan Turing Architecture Overclocked Graphics Card  RTX 2080 Super Ventus XS OC   Renewed\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">RTX 2080 Super<\/a> or <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07R7RZXM6?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"RTX 2080 Ti\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B07R7RZXM6\" data-aawp-product-title=\"EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Black Edition Gaming 11GB GDDR6 Dual HDB Fans &amp; RGB LED Graphics Card 11G-P4-2281-KR  Renewed\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">RTX 2080 Ti<\/a> graphic cards for 4K PC building.

You will be able to get a good set-up that can handle 1440 P gaming, while also having a nice set of peripherals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This won't be enough if you want to play in 4k. Although gaming in 4K is an incredible experience, I don't think spending so much for it is worth it. Playing in 1440 P is still a very vivid experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Save_Money_When_Buying_a_Gaming_PC\"><\/span>How Do You Save Money When Buying a Gaming PC?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By far, the best thing you can do to save money is to build a gaming PC yourself. You can look for the best components for the cheapest possible prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, when you go with PC building instead of buying one that's pre-built, you can buy second-hand parts. Marketplaces like eBay and Facebook are great places for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of whether you want a mid-range system or something more high-end, you will be able to save money if you wait for the right time of the year. You can get a good deal during the holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building your own gaming PC is not that difficult. However, newbies may struggle with this. So, you can go halfway and buy a <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09FDX7VLC?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"barebones system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B09FDX7VLC\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Intel NUC 11 Extreme Kit NUC11BTMi9 Gaming Barebone System - Mini PC Core i9 11th Gen i9-11900KB Octa-core  8 Core\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">barebones system<\/a>.

However, you can expect your gaming PC to last on average for about 10 years. Of course, this will also depend on the components it came with, and how well you take care of it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Online-Gaming-Live-Streaming-Setup.jpg\" alt=\"Online Gaming Live Streaming Setup\" class=\"wp-image-4862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Online-Gaming-Live-Streaming-Setup.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Online-Gaming-Live-Streaming-Setup-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, dust is a computer's worst enemy. So, if you regularly clean your PC's components, you can expect it to last for the full duration of its life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beauty of gaming PCs is that you can swap their parts out when better parts come out. You could keep swapping your computer's parts for others and essentially keep it going unless you want to buy another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most titles\/games allow you to lower your graphics settings. Unless your PC's parts become obsolete, this means that you will still be able to play newer games even 10 years into the future, but with much lower graphics settings.

It's expensive, but worth the price. For starters, it's powerful enough to play VR, which is an impressive feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It comes with the Ryzen 9 inside, along with an Nvidia Ge Force Rtx 3080. These enable you to handle 4K gaming with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering how powerful its CPU and GPU are, you can play the latest games in 1080 P for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also get a lot of storage, with 2 TB SSD and 2 TB HDD. Of course, you get some seriously impressive RAM too. The Aurora R13 comes with upto 32 GB, which makes using it feel smooth and easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also need to talk about how cool it looks. It will be the showpiece in your room, as it looks like it's from outer space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It comes with a chassis that is easy to access. It was designed with ample ventilation so that you won't have to deal with overheating even when playing in 4K for hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The design also makes it easy to customize and swap out parts. Plus, it comes with enough ports to attach peripherals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Dell_XPS_8950\"><\/span>2. <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09YHD533T?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Dell XPS 8950\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B09YHD533T\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Dell XPS 8950 Desktop - 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700 16GB DDR5 RAM 1TB HDD Intel UHD Graphics Killer Wi-Fi 6 Air Cooling Windows 11 Pro - Black\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">Dell XPS 8950<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--vertical aawp-product--style-light\"  data-aawp-product-id=\"B09YHD533T\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Dell XPS 8950 Desktop - 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700 16GB DDR5 RAM 1TB HDD Intel UHD Graphics Killer Wi-Fi 6 Air Cooling Windows 11 Pro - Black\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">\n\n    \n    <a class=\"aawp-product__image--link aawp-product__image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09YHD533T?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Dell XPS 8950 Desktop - 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB HDD, Intel UHD Graphics, Killer Wi-Fi 6, Air Cooling, Windows 11 Pro - Black\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"background-image: url(&#039;https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41L+xfeIpzL.jpg&#039;);\">\n        <img class=\"aawp-product__image-spacer\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/aawp\/public\/assets\/img\/thumb-spacer.png\" alt=\"Dell XPS 8950 Desktop - 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB HDD, Intel UHD Graphics, Killer Wi-Fi 6, Air Cooling, Windows 11 Pro - Black\" \/>\n    <\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09YHD533T?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Dell XPS 8950 Desktop - 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB HDD, Intel UHD Graphics, Killer Wi-Fi 6, Air Cooling, Windows 11 Pro - Black\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Dell XPS 8950 Desktop - 12th Gen Intel Core...        <\/a>\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__meta\">\n            \n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n\n            \n                    <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--blue aawp-button--icon aawp-button--icon-black\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09YHD533T?tag=cpu4-20&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"CHECK PRICE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CHECK PRICE<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>I have to mention the Dell XPS 8950.

They're pretty powerful graphics cards, so you'll be able to handle the latest games on high settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should go for a gaming laptop that has the best possible graphics card, or you won't be able to upgrade it like in gaming PCs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a good choice if you want an entry-level laptop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--list aawp-product--ribbon aawp-product--sale aawp-product--style-light\"  data-aawp-product-id=\"B09RND1LP2\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 -  2022  - Essential Gaming Laptop Computer - 15.6  FHD - 120Hz - AMD Ryzen 5 6600H - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 - 8GB DDR5 RAM - 256GB NVMe Storage - Windows 11 Home\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">\n\n    <span class=\"aawp-product__ribbon aawp-product__ribbon--sale\">Sale<\/span>\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__inner\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link aawp-product__image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09RND1LP2?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 - (2022) - Essential Gaming Laptop Computer - 15.6&#039; FHD - 120Hz - AMD Ryzen 5 6600H - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 - 8GB DDR5 RAM -...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"background-image: url(&#039;https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41Qj4KRITUL._SL160_.jpg&#039;);\"><\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n            <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09RND1LP2?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 - (2022) - Essential Gaming Laptop Computer - 15.6&#039; FHD - 120Hz - AMD Ryzen 5 6600H - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 - 8GB DDR5 RAM -...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 - (2022) - Essential Gaming Laptop Computer - 15.6\" FHD - 120Hz - AMD Ryzen 5 6600H - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 - 8GB DDR5 RAM -...<\/a>\n            <div class=\"aawp-product__teaser\">\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"aawp-product__meta\">\n                \n                                                                        \n                \n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>And a high-end laptop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--list aawp-product--style-light\"  data-aawp-product-id=\"B09RMW1L7Y\" data-aawp-product-title=\"ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15  2022  Gaming Laptop 15.6\u201d 300Hz IPS FHD Display NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti,Intel Core i9 12900H 16GB DDR5 1TB SSD Per-Key RGB Keyboard Windows 11 Home G533ZW-AS94\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__inner\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link aawp-product__image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09RMW1L7Y?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 (2022) Gaming Laptop, 15.6\u201d 300Hz IPS FHD Display, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti,Intel Core i9 12900H, 16GB DDR5, 1TB SSD,...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"background-image: url(&#039;https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/414NVwXZxUL._SL160_.jpg&#039;);\"><\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n            <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09RMW1L7Y?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 (2022) Gaming Laptop, 15.6\u201d 300Hz IPS FHD Display, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti,Intel Core i9 12900H, 16GB DDR5, 1TB SSD,...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 (2022) Gaming Laptop, 15.6\u201d 300Hz IPS FHD Display, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti,Intel Core i9 12900H, 16GB DDR5, 1TB SSD,...<\/a>\n            <div class=\"aawp-product__teaser\">\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"aawp-product__meta\">\n                \n                \n                \n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Answered below are some popular questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Is_a_Gaming_PC_Worth_the_Money\"><\/span>1. Is a Gaming PC Worth the Money?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I think splurging on a PC gaming setup is a good idea. For one, you will be getting a computer with amazing components. You'll have a machine that will last years into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More importantly, this would be an excellent workstation. You can handle powerful software, like some of the more high-end video editing tools on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that gaming PCs were designed to be upgraded also makes them excellent purchases. You can easily swap out their hardware for newer components whenever they're released, without having to buy a new computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Is_Gaming_PC_More_Expensive\"><\/span>2. Is Gaming PC More Expensive?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With countless digital distribution platforms offering PC games, you can snag them for lower prices than console games. However, when it comes to the price of whole consoles compared to gaming PCs, consoles win. You can buy the PlayStation 5 for around $500. Meanwhile, a high-end desktop will cost you almost triple this amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, gaming PCs can last longer than consoles. Consoles only last around 5 years, while their desktop counterparts can last around 10 years. Of course, you can keep upgrading your computer's parts and it will last forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While on the topic, you might be wondering how gaming laptops compare against consoles. Not only are they more expensive, but you can't upgrade their parts too. You'll have to buy a new gaming laptop after a few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Should_You_Spend_On_a_Mechanical_Keyboard_for_Gaming\"><\/span>3. Should You Spend On a Mechanical Keyboard for Gaming?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mechanical keyboards are definitely worth the money. They look good, which matters a lot when gaming. You might want a cool-looking keyboard to go with the great optics that you have going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More importantly, a mechanical keyboard will make gameplay easier. They have keys that are tactile which makes registering keystrokes a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expensive mechanical keyboards tend to be more comfortable, like the Cherry GXs. I recommend splurging on them, as you can game comfortably without hurting your fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-container-4 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--list aawp-product--ribbon aawp-product--sale aawp-product--style-light\"  data-aawp-product-id=\"B07PT9NRRY\" data-aawp-product-title=\"HK GAMING GK61 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - 61 Keys Multi Color RGB Illuminated LED Backlit Wired Programmable for PC\/Mac Gamer Tactile  Gateron Optical Brown\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">\n\n    <span class=\"aawp-product__ribbon aawp-product__ribbon--sale\">Sale<\/span>\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__inner\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link aawp-product__image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07PT9NRRY?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"HK GAMING GK61 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - 61 Keys Multi Color RGB Illuminated LED Backlit Wired Programmable for PC\/Mac Gamer Tactile (Gateron...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"background-image: url(&#039;https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41YIRalodTL._SL160_.jpg&#039;);\"><\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n            <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07PT9NRRY?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"HK GAMING GK61 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - 61 Keys Multi Color RGB Illuminated LED Backlit Wired Programmable for PC\/Mac Gamer Tactile (Gateron...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HK GAMING GK61 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - 61 Keys Multi Color RGB Illuminated LED Backlit Wired Programmable for PC\/Mac Gamer Tactile (Gateron...<\/a>\n            <div class=\"aawp-product__teaser\">\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"aawp-product__meta\">\n                \n                                                                        \n                \n                <a class=\"aawp-check-prime\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/prime\/?tag=cpu4-20\" title=\"Amazon Prime\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a>            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--list aawp-product--ribbon aawp-product--sale aawp-product--style-light\"  data-aawp-product-id=\"B08YRGQSD1\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Cherry MX 3.0 S Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Aluminum Housing Built for Gamers w\/MX Red Silent Switches RGB Backlit Display Over 16m Colors from The Makers of MX Full Size Pure White.\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">\n\n    <span class=\"aawp-product__ribbon aawp-product__ribbon--sale\">Sale<\/span>\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__inner\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link aawp-product__image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08YRGQSD1?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Cherry MX 3.0 S Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard.
