Black Friday: Level up your gaming PC with an RTX 3070 for $500

PNY RTX 3070 front view

If you're scratching your head on how to build a PC from scratch, or at least what parts you should pick, the GPU tends to be the hardest to decide on because there are so many options across Nvidia and AMD. Luckily, there are some standout cards, and if you're looking to build a mid-range gaming PC, the RTX 3070 is a great Nvidia GPU to pick, especially given this deal from Walmart that brings it down to $500 from its regular $700 price.

Why you should buy the PNY RTX 3070
The RTX 3070 has quite a bit in common with the RTX 3070 Ti and is probably the better purchase if you want to save yourself a bit of cash. For example, they both have 8GBs of VRAM, which is pretty good if you're wondering how much GPU memory you need for your gaming PC build. So while 8GB isn't the largest you can find, especially with certain versions of lower-specced cards like the RTX 3060, it's still more than enough for most modern gaming, especially if you aren't playing on a 4k resolution, where assets like to eat a big chunk of memory.
