It was listed for over $7,000 after conversion from Euros to USD, but since the hardware incurs VAT, the prices in EU are much higher than in the US. Still, we could already see a hefty […]

[Update - June 11, 5:00 PM EST] Although Halo: Campaign Evolved is set to be quite demanding at Ultra settings, a new early look from Digital Foundry suggests the game can run well on a variety of systems, including handhelds like the Xbox ROG Ally X. Original story follows. [Original Story] The skepticism surrounding Halo: Campaign Evolved for its ditching of the Slipspace Engine in favor of the Unreal Engine 5 for its return to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S seems to have been well-founded, as an NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU, the best consumer GPU available, doesn't hit […]

Redditor Finds Melted 16-pin Connector on His RTX 5090 on His Routine Check; Says He Pushes the Connector Every Month to Ensure Proper Connection It can be a disaster if one is unplugging and plugging a 16-pin power connector frequently. The connector is already highly prone to melting due to its inherent flaw, and due to its weak design, it's also prone to damage. We have been reporting cases of the 16-pin […]

Back in March, CyberPowerPC entered the console market, offering up PS5s alongside its suite of gaming PCs. Now for a limited time, CyberPowerPC is bundling PS5 consoles with the purchase of select custom-built PCs.

The Ultra iCUE C1 is the entry point in the bundle line-up, priced at £2799. For that price, you get a well-equipped gaming PC with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, an RTX 5070 Ti 16GB graphics card, 32GB DDR5 memory, a 1TB NVMe Gen4 SSD, and an ASRock B650M‑CX R2.0 m‑ATX motherboard.

Stepping up to the Ultra iCUE C2, priced at £3199, buyers receive the same Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, but paired with an RTX 5080 16GB, 32GB DDR5, a 1TB NVMe Gen4 SSD, and a Gigabyte B850 Gaming WiFi6 ATX motherboard. At the top of the range is the Ultra iCUE C3, listed at £4499. This one ships with an RTX 5090 Founders Edition graphics card, so you can get the very best of PC and console gaming with one purchase.

All three systems ship with Windows 11 Home, a Corsair iCUE Link Titan 360mm AIO cooler, next‑day delivery availability, and a free PlayStation 5 console as part of the promotion.

Considering that Sony just revealed that future single-player PlayStation titles will no longer be coming to PC, having a console alongside a PC will make sense for hardcore gamers who still want to experience console exclusives, but primarily play on PC for better graphics and performance.
