If you're familiar with the world of components, it's no secret that GPU prices have been all over the place for a while now, and that likely will only increase in 2026. Rumors of NVIDIA cutting back production of GPUs by 40% continue to surface, and the demand for graphics cards has skyrocketed due to LLM/AI demand. It's a challenging time to put together the parts necessary for a PC build at a reasonable price.

Thankfully, a great deal has surfaced on Amazon for the Sparkle Intel Arc B570 Guardian OC graphics card. While this isn't a top-of-the-line model by any means, it's an excellent entry-level card that packs a punch, especially with the 10GB of VRAM available.

For $200, you're not likely to find a better bang for your buck. The Arc B570 is a great choice for 1080p gaming or for a media server, depending on what you're looking for. While it may struggle with some of the biggest games, such as Cyberpunk 2077 or Black Myth: Wukong, you can easily run most games.

Most of all, the included 10GB of GDDR6 VRAM is excellent at this price. NVIDIA's RTX 4060 and AMD's RX 7600 both only have 8GB of VRAM, and that can make a huge difference, especially as games continue to demand more VRAM. Plus, this card is significantly cheaper than both of those models, and you're still getting similar performance.

The Arc B570 also makes use of Intel's XeSS (Xe Super Sampling) technology, which is similar to DLSS or FSR. With a small form factor, you can fit this Arc B570 in almost any case. It is truly an excellent choice for budget builds, and the 10GB of VRAM gives you a little cushion for the future.

2026 is a huge year for Persona, with the series celebrating its 30th anniversary. If you've yet to catch up on the series, now is the best time to do so. Beyond the standard mainline games, Persona has seen spin-offs here and there, but Persona 5, in particular, has seen a suite of them.

Persona 5 Strikers from Omega Force is actually set after the events of Persona 5, and the recently released Persona 5: The Phantom X brings many new characters into the fold. However, the most interesting spin-off is arguably Persona 5 Tactica, a strategy-based spin-off that is similar to XCOM. If you've yet to check out this game, Best Buy has a great deal to pick up a copy for only $10.

Persona 5 Tactica for $9.99

Persona 5 Tactica falls in line with the story of Persona 5, with the game actually taking place during the base game. One day, the party is transported away to an alternate reality called a Kingdom, and these worlds are where Tactica takes place. DLC was also made available for Persona 5 Tactica, in the form of Repaint Your Heart, which brought back familiar faces Goro Akechi and Kasumi Yoshizawa.

In each Kingdom, you control up to three characters and move them around a grid-based map to take down enemies. Many of Persona 5's unique combat mechanics are implemented here in familiar ways, such as the 1 More mechanic when attacking an enemy and knocking them to the ground.
