iBUYPOWER has started its Memorial Day sale early, giving new PC gamers a cheaper way into desktop gaming without building a system from scratch.
The sale runs until May 26 and uses the coupon code MEMORIAL. The discount depends on the price of the PC, with savings ranging from $50 to $350. Military buyers can also verify through ID.me for an 8 percent discount, but that cannot be stacked with the MEMORIAL code.
| PC price | MEMORIAL discount |
|---|---|
| Over $999 | $50 off |
| Over $1,499 | $150 off |
| Over $2,499 | $250 off |
| Over $3,499 | $350 off |
The cheapest featured option is the iBUYPOWER RDY Scale B05. It includes an Intel Core Ultra 225F, RTX 5060, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. With the MEMORIAL code, it drops from $1,399 to $1,199. It also includes Wi Fi, a keyboard, and a mouse, so it is an easy starting point for someone moving from console to PC.
The stronger value pick is the RDY Slate 8MP R01. It has a Ryzen 7 9700X, Radeon RX 9060 XT, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD. It drops from $1,949 to $1,549 with the code. That is a better long term option if you want more performance and storage from day one.
| Model | Main specs | Sale price with code |
|---|---|---|
| RDY Scale B05 | Core Ultra 225F, RTX 5060, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD | $1,199 |
| RDY Slate 8MP R01 | Ryzen 7 9700X, RX 9060 XT, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD | $1,549 |
| RDY Element 9 Pro R07 | Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RX 9070 XT, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD | $1,949 |
| RDY Trace X R01 | Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RX 9070 XT, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD | $2,349 |
The RDY Element 9 Pro R07 is where the sale moves into high end gaming territory. It uses the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which is still an excellent gaming CPU, paired with a Radeon RX 9070 XT, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD. With the coupon, it drops from $2,349 to $1,949.
The top featured deal is the RDY Trace X R01. It includes a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RX 9070 XT, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD. It normally costs $2,799, but falls to $2,349 with the code. Windows Central tested this model and found the build quality strong, with no major shipping or setup issues.
One thing to know is that many iBUYPOWER prebuilts require you to install the graphics card yourself after delivery. That may sound intimidating, but it is one of the easier PC parts to install, and iBUYPOWER includes clear instructions inside the case.
Prebuilt desktops still cost more than building yourself in some cases, but they remove a lot of stress. You do not need to match parts, worry about compatibility, or troubleshoot a full first build. For console players or beginners, that convenience can be worth paying for.
The sale ends on May 26, one day after Memorial Day. Stock may change before then, but the discounts are scheduled to stay active through that date.
For most buyers, the RDY Slate 8MP R01 looks like the best balance of price, memory, storage, and gaming performance. The RDY Scale B05 is the entry option, while the Element 9 Pro and Trace X R01 are better for people who want a stronger PC that should last longer.
