1. Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 | RTX 4070 | Ryzen 7 7435HS | 1080p | 144 Hz | 16 GB DDR5-4800 | 512 GB SSD | $949.99 at Walmart
The price may have fluctuated recently, but this is still one of the cheapest RTX 4070 gaming laptops you'll find in a market that's increasingly starved of stock. There's a decent AMD gaming CPU, a reasonable amount of dual-channel memory, a speedy screen, and that all important GPU to play with. The 512 GB SSD is small, however, but you can easily upgrade it with the spare NVMe slot inside.

2. ABS Cyclone Aqua | RTX 5060 | Core i5 14400F | 32 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,099.99 $899.99 at Newegg (save $200 with code ABS10JUNE)
This gaming PC lets you enter the current GPU generation for well under $1,000, and you're getting a pretty nice all-round package for this budget price. Sure, you're only getting DDR4 RAM and 1 TB of storage, but these things are common at the sub-$1,000 price point. DDR4 should serve you fine with this budget build, and storage can be upgraded easily. It's a great way to get started PC gaming with a friendly price tag.

3. ASRock Phantom PG27Q15R2A | 27-inch | 1440p | 165 Hz | VA | $239.99 $142.77 at Newegg (save $97.22)
ASRock's gaming monitors are always so darned cheap—we love them for that. This 1440p panel offers resolution and a rapid refresh rate for a potent PC gaming combo, though the built-in Wi-Fi antenna helps it stand out from the crowd. That's hardly essential, but could come in useful for some.

Both 1440p and OLED, this 27-inch monitor from Acer has almost everything you may want to pair with your rig. It's even better now that it's $50 off, making it the cheapest OLED on our entire list right now (though it has been cheaper than this before). To top it off, it comes with a 240 Hz refresh rate, up to 0.01 ms response time, and a solid selection of ports with a DisplayPort, 2 HDMI ports, and USB Type-C.

For anyone looking for a cheap, spacious drive offering serious performance, this is a genuinely brilliant SSD for the money. Our review of the 4 TB version clearly shows just how good it is.

6. Intel Arc B580 | 12 GB GDDR6 | 2560 shaders | 2670 MHz boost | $289.99 at B&H Photo
Stocks of Intel's best GPU, the Arc 580, are finally starting to pick up. The price tag is still well above where we'd be completely happy recommending it as an essential budget purchase, even though it can be really fast in some games. Note that US stocks are very limited, so this deal is from a third-party seller.

There are precious few all-AMD gaming laptops out there, largely because AMD made precious few actual laptop GPUs. The RX 7700S is one, and it's a decent pixel-pusher, but with the usual Radeon caveats, i.e. no Multi Frame Gen fun, and some difficulty with heavily ray-traced games, such as Cyberpunk 2077. Other than that it will often beat a high-powered RTX 4060. This machine also has a great supporting spec alongside the Radeon GPU and the eight-core Ryzen CPU. The 165 Hz 1200p screen is good, but the 32 GB of memory and 1 TB SSD are also welcome at this price point.

With a 110 W version of the RTX 4070, with wee Acer machine has plenty of grunt about it, and that 120 Hz refresh 1600p panel will make a really crisp screen for a 14-inch laptop. You're also getting a full 1 TB SSD alongside your 16 GB of soldered memory (no upgrades happening there) and a decent Meteor Lake CPU at its heart. It's one of Intel's more efficient chips, with six Performance and eight Efficient cores, which ought to help with the battery life of this portable machine. And it's a pleasingly affordable price right now, too.

HP Victus 16 | RTX 4070 | Ryzen 7 8845HS | 16-inch | 1080p | 144 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 512 GB SSD | $1,119 at Amazon
You know what I hate? Gaming laptops with just 512 GB SSDs. A 1 TB SSD is not an expensive thing, so why do manufacturers still persist with so little storage? Thankfully, laptops like this HP Victus with a paucity of SSD space also come with a second SSD slot in the back. That makes it a super-easy upgrade when you run out of space, without having to replace your OS or anything. Likewise, the Victus 16 uses standard SODIMM for memory so you can upgrade the 16 GB RAM down the line, too. The 120 W RTX 4070 is one you won't have to rush out and upgrade, however, as it's a quality GPU at this price, and so is that AMD processor, too. In fact, it comes with the 780M integrated graphics that run most handhelds, so you can get some good gaming battery life by switching off the Nvidia GPU when you're away from the plug.

Sitting somewhere under the RTX 4080 and well above the RTX 4070 in terms of gaming performance, the RTX 5070 Ti promises to be a great mid-range laptop GPU. I've used the new Vector 16 HX AI for weeks, and have been hugely impressed with the RTX 5080 version, and I've no doubt the RTX 5070 Ti system will be as effective. The 1200p IPS screen is a good match for the GPU and CPU, which is of 20-core Intel stock. But, ack, another 512 GB SSD. Why?! Thankfully there are two M.2 slots in the system, making it an easy and cheap upgrade down the line.

My goodness, a well-specced RTX 50-series gaming laptop with a discount and a properly sized SSD? It must be my birthday. Anyway, we're massive fans of Lenovo's Legion laptops, and the new models are no exception. This is a properly powerful, good-looking, well-made machine that makes all the right noises, here for a downright reasonable price.

I know, I know, it's a lot of cash. But the truth is, it's difficult to find RTX 50-series laptops for anything less than silly money right now, and this one's got the big boi RTX 5080 for a just about reasonable sum. Our Dave has been playing with this particular model recently and likes the value proposition you get when you take into account that mega GPU, although it is a bit of a hairdryer on full whack. Still, stick it in Balanced mode and the noise is much more reasonable, and it still performs about as well as the other RTX 5080 machines we've tested. Which is to say, very well indeed.

Here comes the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i again, except this time with a full-fat 175 W RTX 5080 on board. Oh, and still with a rather substantial discount. While the RTX 5070 Ti model above is no slouch, it's worth mentioning that we've extensively tested the mobile RTX 5080 at this point, and can confirm it's a very speedy GPU indeed. Plus, 32 GB of RAM and a 2 TB SSD? Yeah, this is the full package alright, although it's not exactly cheap, I'll grant you.

And once more, with feeling... yep, it's another excellent Lenovo lappy. This one's got the almighty mobile RTX 5090 inside, although to be honest its a GPU we'd normally shy away from recommending due to the small performance gain over the mobile RTX 5080 for the extra expense. Still, you won't find an RTX 5090 gaming laptop with a significant discount anywhere else, so in it goes for good measure.

Zhic gaming PC | Ryzen 5 5600G | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $599 $479.89 at Walmart (save $119.11)
This is a really good starter PC. The Ryzen 5 5600G's Vega GPU isn't going to get you playing the latest games at high resolutions on its own, but for some lite 720p gaming it should do fine. The main goal here, though, is to have a base that you can upgrade from with a proper discrete GPU down the line. Slap an RTX 4060 or RTX 4060 Ti in there and you've got a fine gaming PC without spending a fortune, and you just need a screwdriver and the will to make it happen.

If you can't stretch to an RTX 4060 Ti build, an RTX 4060 one such as this Yeyian rig should serve you well in a pinch as an entry-level gaming PC. You're getting DDR5 RAM, a decent entry-level Core i5, and a GPU that should handle most games at 1440p with some frame gen and upscaling magic enabled.

This is a cracking price for some mainstream current-gen performance with the RTX 5060 Ti, but just bear in mind you're getting a bit of an entry-priced glass cannon here thanks to just 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and an old CPU. If you're looking to save every penny, this will get some of the best frame rates for under $1,100 right now, but if you can spend a little more you'll be in better stead with a well-rounded build.

We're now properly in the swing of the current GPU generation, and you can tell because we're finally seeing some decent current-gen builds that aren't sitting at astronomical prices. This Cobratype RTX 5060 Ti gaming PC is not only rocking a current-gen GPU capable of the latest Multi Frame Gen tech, but also comes with a decent six-core AMD CPU and 32 GB of RAM. You'll probably want to add another terabyte of storage before too long, though.

Buying an RTX 5070 on its own can be expensive, but as part of a discounted pre-built like this it's pretty reasonable. If you can stretch your budget a little, it'll be better to opt for something with more RAM, storage, and a current-gen CPU, but if you want that Multi Frame Gen magic for as cheap as possible, this Skytech build will get you there.

This Cobratype build features the RX 9070 XT, which runs pretty neck-and-neck with the RTX 5070 Ti. Combined with 32 GB of RAM and a mid-range 9000-series CPU, it makes for a great choice for modern high-end gaming for well under $2,000. It's also cheaper than we've found any RX 9070 (non-XT) build at right now.

This is about as cheap as you can get for definitively high-end territory with an Nvidia GPU right now. The RTX 5070 Ti, including all its Blackwell frame generation magic, is an ideal entry into max settings gaming at 1440p and even some 4K gaming. Admittedly, you'll probably want to throw in a 32 GB RAM kit and another TB of storage down the line, but for pure gaming you can't get much better than this on the Nvidia side for under $2,000 right now.

This high-end all-AMD build takes the latest and greatest AMD GPU alongside an X3D chip (with tons of cache), fast DDR5 RAM and the ideal amount of storage. And all in a lovely white chassis. You can get a 9070 XT build for a fair bit cheaper, but not one that's this well-rounded and gaming-oriented.

The RTX 5070 and RX 9070 are great for 1440p gaming, but if you want to take it to that next level and truly enter the high end, a RTX 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT is what you want. Sure, you might want to upgrade the storage on this one, but the Core i7 and 32 GB of fast DDR5 RAM makes this a solid all-rounder, too.

This RX 9070 XT build is tippity-top of the line thanks to its pairing with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, the absolute best CPU for gaming on the market. 32 GB of RAM and 2 TB of storage is wonderful, too, and it's all housed in a rather dashing chassis.

With this Skytech build you're getting not just Nvidia's best GPU offering barring the RTX 5090, but also a fantastic AMD X3D chip. Sure, it's previous-gen, but it still has a lovely scoop of 3D V-Cache, which really helps with gaming performance.

If you want the best RTX 5080 build rather than almost the best, this Skytech Legacy build might be the one thanks to its Ryzen 7 9800X3D. This is by far the best CPU on the market right now, paired with the best GPU barring the prohibitively expensive RTX 5090. The only downside is that this build only has 1 TB of storage, which is difficult to justify for the price tag, but at least storage should be cheap and easy to upgrade.

This gaming PC is for those of you who are willing to spend any amount of money on the best of the best. It has the best CPU for gaming on the market, as well as the best graphics card, 32 GB of fast RAM, and 2 TB of storage.

AMD's previous generation of cards, the RX 6000-series, is just as good, though harder to find new. At this price, though, it's quite a bit cheaper than the RX 6700 XT and in some games, it performs nearly as well, as you can see in our review. It's not the most exciting of graphics cards, though.

When it's all working fine, you're getting a lot of GPU for the money, though the price is well over its MSRP.

At its $749 MSRP, the RTX 5070 Ti is a superb graphics card, but current prices are nowhere near that mark. Instead, you're looking at $100 more for a standard 5070 Ti, which is far less appealing at this price. If you think of it as being like an RTX 4080 with DLSS 4 support, though, then it doesn't seem quite so bad.

Yes, it's $400 over Nvidia's MSRP for the RTX 5080. That's just how things are at the moment. It's arguably not worth the money, either, as the RTX 5080 isn't that much faster than the RTX 4080 it replaces. You do get the full DLSS 4 suite, including Multi Frame Generation, but you're better off waiting until prices become more sensible.

Small, light, and very fast in the right USB port, this little SSD might be all you need for your external storage requirements. While we didn't think it offered a great amount of drop resistance in our review, the SD810 is rated to IP68, so it'll fend off dust and water ingress nicely.

Samsung T7 Shield | 1 TB | USB 3.2 Gen2 | 1,050 MB/s read | 1,000 MB/s write | $109.99 at Amazon
Samsung's external drives have a better recent history than its internal SSDs, so we've no hesitation in recommending the T7 for any professional looking for a large amount of storage that can be safely taken from place to place. They're designed to be rugged and fast, a potent combo. Oh, and they're available in three colors. Don't forget that you'll need to have a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port in your PC to get the best speed.

Crucial X9 Pro | 2 TB | USB 3.2 Gen2 | Up to 1,050 MB/s read and write | $169.99 $121.99 at Amazon (save $48)
Crucial is a big name in SSDs, and the Micron-owned brand is offering a small saving on this 2 TB external model. The drive comes in an anodized aluminium shell with a rubberized base and is just 65 x 50 mm big. There's an integrated lanyard hole too, if you want to wear it, which hides a drive activity light.

Samsung T7 Shield | 4 TB | USB 3.2 Gen2 | Up to 1,050 MB/s read and write | $499.99 $289.97 at Amazon (save $210.02)
You might think this is a lot of money for an external SSD, and you'd be right. But that's not to say it's a bad deal. In fact, it's one of the best deals in this list, at around $0.06 per gigabyte. You're paying less, for more. Now I sound like Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang... "the more you buy, the more you save."

Not every CPU cooler needs to have RGB LEDs or massive screens to look really neat, and the Hyper 612 Apex's design is spot on. It's not the greatest air cooler you can buy, but at this price, it's pretty darn good.

Razer DeathAdder Essential | Wired | 6,400 DPI | 5 buttons | Right-handed | $29.99 $22.99 at Amazon (save $7)
Yes, it's only rated to 6,400 DPI, and yes, it's a little light on features. But the fact you can get one of Razer's much loved DeathAdder mice for around the cost of takeout for one is undoubtedly impressive. For this kind of cash, if you've been making do with a no-name budget wonder that's in need of retirement, it's a bit of a no-brainer.

Logitech G305 Lightspeed | Wireless | 12,000 DPI | 250 hour battery life | 400 IPS | $49.99 $32.49 (save $17.50 at Amazon)
The Logitech G305 Lightspeed has been our pick for the best budget wireless gaming mouse for some time, and that's for good reason. At its original price of $50, the G305 is already a super solid deal, but with almost $20 off, I can't find a single budget wireless gaming mouse I'd pick over it at its current price point. The only downside to buying right now is that you will have to pay a little more if you want the pretty blue or purple variant of the mouse.

Logitech G502 X | Wired | 25,600 DPI | Right-handed | 11 buttons | $99.99 $58 at Amazon (save $41.99)
The G502 X sticks with the G502's staple design, including everything people love about it such as the ergonomic shape and spinny scroll wheel. We reckon it's the best wired gaming mouse on the market right now, and for this price, it's worth a look if you're not looking to cut the cord just yet.

The V3 Pro might be a couple of years old now but it still represents the top-end of Razer's DeathAdder line-up. It's light, fast, accurate, and of course has that comfortably curvy shape best suited to palm or claw grip gamers. And this is as cheap as we've ever seen it.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight | White | Wireless | 25,600 DPI | 5 buttons | 70-hour battery | Right-handed | $159.99 $98.50 at Amazon (save $51.49)
Ignore the fact that this model has been around for a while because it's still a great wireless gaming mouse with a low weight of just 63 g. It's been my daily driver for ages, and I wouldn't swap it for anything. The white version is currently cheaper than the black one, but there's no much in it.

8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard (N Edition) | Hot swappable | 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, wired | 'Super Buttons' | 200-hour battery | $99.99 $89.99 at Amazon (save $10)
Already reasonably priced at full MSRP, this TKL keyboard has a great aesthetic, powerful battery life, nice feeling keys, and Super Buttons, which you can program to do simple commands. I use mine as a quick record button so I can slam my fist down after a good play and show it off to friends. They're perhaps a little less impressed by my quick record function than they are by its look.

HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless | 50 mm drivers | 15-21,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | $199.99 $142.53 at Amazon (save $57.46)
The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is one of our all-time favorite gaming headsets for many reasons, but there's a big headline feature to talk about here: 300-hour battery life. No, we didn't make a typo. 300 hours of gaming goodness on a single charge, excellent DTS:X Spatial Audio, and premium comfort features make this headset an absolute stunner of a buy at this price.

Razer Blackshark V2 Pro (2023) | 50 mm drivers | 12-28,000 Hz | 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.2 | Passive noise cancelling | 70 hours (2.4 GHz) | 320 g | $199.99 $169.99 at Best Buy (save $30)
As noted in our Razer Blackshark V2 Pro review, this headset is not only super reliable in its connection but offers great sound and a very clear microphone. It was more expensive than its predecessor, which brings it down somewhat, but this deal makes it a much more attractive package.

Obsbot Tiny 2 Lite 4K | 1/2-inch CMOS sensor | Type-C | $179 $143 at Amazon (save $36)
The Tiny 2 Lite is a cheaper version of the popular Tiny 2, though it retains many of that model's top features. In our testing, we were impressed with its ability to autofocus and track various things we put in front of it, namely our faces.

Pimax Crystal Light | 8K | 120 Hz | Wired | Requires gaming PC | $719.99 $619 at Amazon (save $100.99)
The Pimax Crystal Light is a headset built for sim games, and in that sense, it's not the usual VR headset we'd recommend to most PC gamers. However, it is on a rare discount right now and if you really want the full sim experience, the wide 130 degree FOV on offer here can help with that.

Steam Deck (LCD) | 256 GB SSD | SteamOS | $399 at Steam
Okay, the Steam Deck may have had an OLED refresh and there are heaps of more powerful handhelds around, but the original version is still the archetype of what a mobile PC gaming device should be. It's just as powerful as the OLED model, so all those Steam Deck compatible games should run well. It's the OG PC gaming handheld, and it still demands respect, although this particular version does have quite a small SSD. Replacing it later with a larger unit is no great hassle, however.

Lenovo Legion Go | Ryzen Z1 Extreme | 16 GB LPDDR5 | 512 GB storage | 8.8-inch screen | 2560 x 1600, 144 Hz | $719.98 $519.98 at Amazon (save $200)
Though a hefty bit of kit, detachable controllers and an impressively large screen for a handheld make for a surprisingly comfortable gaming experience. The main downside is that the most recent, hardware intensive game releases won't enjoy all the benefits of that screen due to the older processor.
