Best Amazon Prime Day PC gaming deals

1. HP Victus 16 | RTX 4070 | Core i7 13700H | 16-inch | 1080p | 144 Hz | 16 GB DDR5-5200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,199 at Walmart
The Victus range isn't the HP brand that comes to mind when you think gaming laptop, but it's the affordable side of the business which is still able to pack a decent punch for the price. This RTX 4070-powered machine is the cheapest we've found toting Nvidia's third-tier mobile GPU, but it is a 120 W version, not the full 140 W monty. That will still deliver at the 1080p res of this screen and will work comfortably under this relatively slim 16-inch chassis. The rest of the spec—16 GB DDR5 and 1 TB SSD—are exactly what you'd hope for at this end of the market, too. A really good price for a seriously solid machine.

2. Razer Blade 14 | RTX 4070 | Ryzen 9 7940HS | 14-inch | 2560 x 1600 | 240 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSD | $2,699.99 $1,699.99 at Best Buy (save $1,000)
14 inches and Razer's Blade engineering is a killer combo. But it's horribly expensive. Normally, that is. Thanks to Amazon Prime Day, Best Buy is getting in on the deal action and this RTX 4070 equipped model is actually cheaper than the RTX 4060 model we featured earlier. But you get the same AMD CPU, the same 1440p display, the same 16GB of memory and the same 1TB SSD. You get the idea, it's basically the same except for the superior Nvidia GPU and for less money. Boom.

3. Yeyian Yumi  | Core i5 12400F | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,199 $779 at Newegg (save $420)
The Yumi is a bit of a classic when it comes to gaming PC deals, as it's always there or thereabouts. At the moment this is the cheapest RTX 4060-based PC we've found, and comes with a supporting spec that is absolutely solid, even if it's not the latest and greatest. The combo of Alder Lake Core i5 and DDR4 memory means you still get the capacity, and a healthy core count, but without the expense of the very latest hybrid Intel chips or pricier DDR5 memory. And gaming performance will vary very little.

4. Team Group MP44L | 2TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 4,800 MB/s read | 4,400 MB/s write | $139.99 $99.99 at Newegg (save $40)
There's no DRAM to boost sustained performance and the SLC cache isn't especially big, either. But the speed is good enough for most workloads and when 1 TB of storage costs this much, who cares that it's not flash or fancy? Not us, that's for sure.

5. HP Victus 15 | RTX 4050 | Ryzen 5 8645HS | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144 Hz | 8 GB DDR5 | 512 GB SSD | $979 $599 at Walmart (save $380)
Let's be upfront about this, nobody wants a laptop with just 8 GB of RAM in 2024. But when you're talking about a gaming notebook that costs just $600, but with a decent RTX 40-series GPU inside it, I can swallow it. Especially when you can easily upgrade the RAM with just a wee screwdriver in-hand. And 16 GB of fast dual-channel DDR5 is just $50-odd right now. The RTX 4050 is just a 75 W variant, so not the outright fastest, but will still definitely do a job at 1080p, and for this money, that's all you can ask.

6. Zotac RTX 4060 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 3,072 shaders | 2,475 MHz boost | $299.99 $274.99 at Newegg (save $25 with promo code FANDUA5739)
If you must have Ada Lovelace, Nvidia's latest gaming architecture, the cheapest way in is this RTX 4060. Faster than the RTX 3060 but the price suggests it should have been better. You do get the full DLSS 3.5 suite, though, and it's pretty decent at encoding video for streaming. Nevertheless, we prefer AMD's RX 7600 or last-gen RX 6700. Use promo code FANDUA5739 for the full discount.

7. Corsair TC100 Relaxed | Fabric | $249.99 $238.99 at Newegg (save $11)
I know it's not the greatest discount ever but, as one of the best gaming chairs that's already a great buy at full price, it's well worth a look. Especially when you consider you're getting a super comfortable gaming chair with space to sit cross legged, and one that doesn't have silly go-faster stripe racing aesthetic.

8. Acer Nitro XV271U M3bmiiprx | 27-inch | 180Hz | 1440p | 0.5 ms G2G resposne | IPS | $289.99 $169.99 at Amazon (save $120)

This Acer monitor is a steal for all you prospective competitive gamers, hitting a high refresh rate and low response time sweet spot (0.5-1 ms gray-to-gray). It's the same price as the Odyssey G5 below but is better for those of you who prefer an IPS panel to a VA.

Price check: Newegg $281.99

9. Secretlab Titan Evo | 'Signatures' designs | Magnetic cushions | $549 $519 at Secretlab (save $30)
The Titan Evo is our favorite gaming chair, and has been for the longest time. It's the benchmark by which we judge all other gaming chairs—it's comfortable, supportive, and easy to assemble. The holy trinity. Buying direct from Secretlab is the only way to pick up this chair at this price right now.

10. Zotac RTX 4070 Ti Super | 16 GB GDDR6X | 8,448 shaders | 2,610 MHz boost | $779.99 $759.99 at Newegg (save $20 with promo code FANDUA5745)
The RTX 4070 Ti Super might be relatively new to the market, but we're finally seeing discounts on what is a very performant card. This Zotac model is as solid as they come with a tri-fan cooler, and with the power of DLSS 3 makes for a mighty addition to any gaming rig. Use promo code FANDUA5745 at checkout for the full discount.

Steam Deck (LCD) | 512GB SSD | $449 at Steam
Okay, the Steam Deck may have had an OLED refresh but the original version is still the archetype of what a mobile PC gaming device should be. It's just as powerful as the most recent model so all those Steam Deck compatible games should run well. It's the OG PC gaming handheld, and it still demands respect.

Asus ROG Ally | AMD Z1 Extreme | 7-inch 1080p | 120 Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $649.99 $549.99 at Best Buy (save $100)
The most powerful version of one of the best PC gaming handhelds is back at a discounted price. The Asus Ally surprised us at launch with its relatively low MSRP (for a premium Asus product), and now it's even cheaper. Has the time come for you to get in on some handheld gaming action?

Lenovo Legion Go | AMD Z1 Extreme | 8.8-inch 1080p | 144 Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $699.99 $599.99 at  (save $100)
If detachable controllers are your thing, the Legion Go comes with a sweet, 8.8-inch, 2560 x 1600p panel so you can dock it and lean back a little. It's chunky and a little over the top, screen-wise, when it comes to games that require more high-fidelity, but it's a great little machine for storming through your indie game backlog on the go.

HP Victus 15 | RTX 4050 | Ryzen 5 8645HS | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144 Hz | 8 GB DDR5 | 512 GB SSD | $979 $599 at Walmart (save $380)
Let's be upfront about this, nobody wants a laptop with just 8 GB of RAM in 2024. But when you're talking about a gaming notebook that costs just $600, but with a decent RTX 40-series GPU inside it, I can swallow it. Especially when you can easily upgrade the RAM with just a wee screwdriver in-hand. And 16 GB of fast dual-channel DDR5 is just $50-odd right now. The RTX 4050 is just a 75 W variant, so not the outright fastest, but will still definitely do a job at 1080p, and for this money, that's all you can ask.

Acer Nitro V | RTX 4060 | Core i7 13620H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 512 GB SSD | $1,099.99 $849.99 at Best Buy (save $250)
This is the cheapest RTX 4060 gaming laptop we've found over Prime Day so far, and it looks like a pretty solid buy, too. Laptop GPUs can be tough to parse in terms of their power and therefore performance, but I'm pretty confident this is a 75 W RTX 4060, which is on par with the significantly more expensive Gigabyte G5 we've been recommending for an age. My only real concern here is the meager 512 GB SSD, when 1 TB feels like a modern minimum for gamers. But the chassis is easy to open and comes with a spare M.2 SSD slot making that a simple problem to fix, and a relatively cheap one, too.

Dell G15 | RTX 4060 | Ryzen 7 7840HS | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 165 Hz | 16 GB DDR5-4800 | 512 GB SSD | $999.97 $949.99 at Amazon (save $49.98)
Dell's angular chassis definitely feels like it's had some Alienware influence on it, but it is quite a bezel-happy thing. Still, you are getting a decent spec for a decent sub-$1,000 price. That includes an RTX 4060 that will certainly do a job with the 1080p display. But it's a slick 165 Hz panel, and you're getting a full 16GB of dual-channel DDR5, the mighty AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU, though only a  512 GB SSD. Still, this is a lot of laptop for not a huge chunk of cash.

Gigabyte G5 | RTX 4060 | Core i7 12650H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144 Hz | 16GB DDR4 | 1TB SSD | $969 at Amazon
The ol' Gigabyte G5 has been a classic when it comes to budget gaming laptops for a long while now, and just when you thought it had disappeared it's back with better specs and a still sub-$1,000 price tag. As we discovered when we reviewed the Core i5 version of the G5, it's a great little gaming laptop, and with the extra storage and slightly better CPU this is a quality machine for the money. If you're happy with just a 512GB SSD (or have a bigger one ready to drop in) you could save a little more cash and go for the 512GB $922 version.

Price check: Newegg $1,124.99

Lenovo Legion Slim 5 | RTX 4060 | Ryzen 5 7640HS | 16-inch | 1200p | 144 Hz | 16GB DDR5 | 512GB SSD | $1,349.99 $969 at Amazon (save $380.99)
This is an amazing price for a 140W RTX 4060 gaming laptop. Sure the screen is a little large for a relatively small 1200p resolution in terms of pixel pitch, but in game you'll get a great level of performance out of the GPU. The SSD also isn't very large, but these are minor quibbles when the rest of the system is so good. It's a great price for a great laptop.

Price check: Newegg $1,234.99 | Best Buy $1,349.99

Acer Nitro 16 | RTX 4070 | Ryzen 7 7735HS | 16-inch | 1600p | 165 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 512 GB SSD | $1,199.99 $1,129.99 at Newegg (save $70)
Forget an RTX 4060 laptop at this price point, you can secure yourself an RTX 4070 for the same money. Not only does this machine come with a bigger GPU than most for the money, the rest of this laptop is awesome, too. A fantastic Ryzen 7040-series CPU is paired with 16 GB of DDR5 and a 1600p screen. Only downside is that 512 GB SSD, though you could swap it out for something bigger.

Asus TUF F15 | RTX 4070 | Core i7 13620H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144 Hz | 16 GB DDR5-4800 | 1TB SSD | $1,399.99 $1,149.99 at Best Buy (save $250)
This is a gaming laptop deal that makes it tough to recommend RTX 4060 machines for anything near to a grand. With a genuine RTX 4070 GPU in a system for this much you're got a lot of gaming power for a great price. We did see a 12th Gen version for $980 around Black Friday last year, so there is precedent, but we've not seen a similarly specced system down around this price since.

HP Victus 16 | RTX 4070 | Core i7 13700H | 16-inch | 1080p | 144 Hz | 16 GB DDR5-5200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,199 at Walmart
The Victus range isn't the HP brand that comes to mind when you think gaming laptop, but it's the affordable side of the business which is still able to pack a decent punch for the price. This RTX 4070-powered machine is the cheapest we've found toting Nvidia's third-tier mobile GPU, but it is a 120 W version, not the full 140 W monty.

Gigabyte Aorus 15 | RTX 4070 | Core i7 13700H | 16-inch | 1440p | 160 Hz | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | $1,399.99 $1,249.99 at Newegg (save $150)
Last year's Aorus 15 is still a very good mid-range gaming laptop. It's not as overtly gamer-aggressive in styling as previous Aorus machines, and yet it's still got all the gaming goods you would want from a 15-incher. The 165 Hz, 1440p panel comes with an impressively thin bezel and compliments the 140 W RTX 4070 that Gigabyte is packing inside it. The classic 16GB / 1TB memory/storage combo is plenty good enough to support the 14-core Core i7 chip at its heart, too.

Price check: Amazon $1,249.99

HP Omen Transcend 14 | RTX 4060 | Core Ultra 7 155H | 14-inch | 120 Hz | 2880 x 1800 | OLED | 512GB SSD | 16GB DDR5-7500 | $1,599.99 $1,199.99 at HP (save $400)
This lovely 14-incher is pretty expensive for an RTX 4060 but it's still the best compact gaming laptop around. You get an excellent OLED panel as standard and a 65W GPU that will still deliver a quality gaming experience. The 512GB SSD is a bit small, but you can configure the machine with a 1TB drive if you're willing to spend a bit more. Shame the battery life isn't so good, but that's small gaming laptops for you

Gigabyte Aorus 17H | RTX 4070 | Core i7 13700H | 17.3-inch | 1440p | 240 Hz | 16GB DDR5-4800 | 1TB SSD | $1,749 $1,529.99 at Amazon (save $219.01)
This is a big laptop that, for once, hasn't packed with the most power-hungry components. That Core i7 is easier to keep cool than an i9 and it's a more suitable match for the 140W RTX 4070 alongside. It is $200 more than the Asus TUF above but you're getting a much nicer display.

Gigabyte Aorus 17H | RTX 4080 | Core i7 13700H | 17.3-inch | 1080p | 360 Hz | 16GB DDR5-4800 | 1TB SSD | $1,849 $1,769.99 at Newegg (save $79.01)
$1,800 for a laptop with a 1080p screen? Ignore that for the moment and note that you're getting a decent CPU, a 150W RTX 4080, and a nice amount of storage. Then focus on the fact that the screen is enormous (for a laptop) and super-fast, and what you're looking at is something that's idle for e-sports and competitive shooter fans. Gigabyte's control app isn't the best, though.

Razer Blade 14 | RTX 4070 | Ryzen 9 7940HS | 14-inch | 2560 x 1600 | 240 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSD | $2,699.99 $1,699.99 at Best Buy (save $1.000)
14 inches and Razer's Blade engineering is a killer combo. But it's horribly expensive. Normally, that is. Thanks to Amazon Prime Day, Best Buy is getting in on the deal action and this RTX 4070 equipped model is actually cheaper than the RTX 4060 model we featured earlier. But you get the same AMD CPU, the same 1440p display, the same 16GB of memory and the same 1TB SSD. You get the idea, it's basically the same except for the superior Nvidia GPU and for less money. Boom.

Lenovo Legion Pro 7i | RTX 4080 | Core i9 13900HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 240 Hz | 32GB DDR5-5600 | 1TB SSD | $2,799 $2,049 at B&H Photo (save $750)
Let's be honest, at this point, this isn't a deal on the best RTX 4080 laptop I've tested, this is just the price that it is. It's effectively been on offer at B&H at this level for a year now, but it's a fantastic notebook, offering performance that can often match and sometimes beat an RTX 4090-based system (see our review). There's a high-performance CPU to back it up, a decent, bright 1600p screen, and a fair amount of storage. All with a discount.

Razer Blade 16 | RTX 4080 | Core i9 13950HX | 16-inch | QHD+ | 240 Hz | 32 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $3,599.99 $2,599.99 at Amazon (save $1,000)
There's no escaping Razer's premium pricing, though you can ease it a little with a deal like this. This is last year's model though you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference in many ways. It comes with an RTX 4080 mobile chip and the Core i9 13950HX—more or less the best spec you should reasonably want inside a gaming laptop today.

NXS gaming desktop | AMD Ryzen 5 5600G | 16 GB DDR4-3600 | 512 GB NVMe SSD | $489 at Newegg
You can game on this machine to a certain extent—the integrated Vega GPU on the Ryzen chip will certainly support 720p gaming at lower settings. But we're listing it here as a good base from which to add your own graphics card for a quick new gaming PC on a tight budget. The AMD CPU is a good six-core, 12-thread job, and the 16 GB RAM will run everything you need.

Yeyian Yumi  | Ryzen 5 5600X | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,199 $799 at Newegg (save $400)
The Yumi is a bit of a classic when it comes to gaming PC deals, as it's always there or thereabouts. At the moment this is the cheapest RTX 4060-based PC we've found, and comes with a supporting spec that is absolutely solid, even if it's not the latest and greatest. The combination of DDR4 RAM and a previous gen Ryzen 5 might not be top-end, but this machine will still deliver great performance for under a grand.

Ipason gaming desktop | Ryzen 5 5600 | Radeon RX 7600 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,399 $849 at Newegg (save $550)
If you don't want to get busy with a screwdriver, Ipason has a budget offering with a built-in upgrade over its $489 5600G-sporting PC, this time with an RX 7600 GPU at its heart. That offers sometimes better than RTX 4060 gaming performance, and the full system comes with a solid back-up spec, too. The Ryzen 5 5600 might not be the latest and greatest but it's still very capable as a gaming CPU, and that 1 TB SSD gives you a decent amount of space for a few big games and all your files.

iBuyPower TraceMesh | RTX 4060 | Ryzen 7 5700 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $999 $889 at Walmart (save $110)
We've been into the Yeyian Yumi for its CPU/GPU combo, but this ups the ante with a full eight-core/16-thread chip at its heart to complement the RTX 4060 GPU, which you might prefer to the RX 7600 in the Ipason above. The RAM and SSD are fine for a sub-$900 PC, too.

ABS Cyclone Aqua | Core i5 13400F | GeForce RTX 4060 Ti | 32 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,099.99 $929.99 at Newegg (save $170)
It's a last-gen Intel CPU but the 13400F is the best budget gaming processor you can get. It's an ideal match for the RTX 4060 Ti, and the rest of the specs are nicely balanced, too. Sure it would be nice to have DDR5 system memory, but 32 GB will ensure no game is going to be left wanting more. For the price, there's very little to complain about.

ABS Cyclone Aqua  | Intel Core i5 13700F | RTX 4070 | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $1,699 $1,199.99 at Newegg (save $500)
The all-important CPU/GPU combo is strong with this one, what with Intel's Core i5 13700F being a stupendous gaming chip and the OG RTX 4070 still making for a great mid-range GPU. The SSD speeds aren't the greatest, but you could always add in something cheap and speedy from our cheap SSD deals. Plenty of fast RAM too, which is nice to see at this price.

ABS Orkan Ruby | Ryzen 7 7700X | RTX 4070 Super | 32GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $1,699.99 $1,399.99 at Newegg (save $300)
The Ryzen 7 7700X is a powerful gaming chip, and this PC gets you on AMD's AM5 platform for a very reasonable sum. Combined with 32 GB of fast DDR5 and the RTX 4070 Super, which is a decent bit faster than the standard RTX 4070, this machine makes a whole lot of sense as an upper mid-range monster with specs to spare.

Skytech King | Ryzen 7 7800X3D | Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super | 32GB DDR5-5200 | 1TB SSD | $2,199.99 $1,879.99 at Newegg (save $320 with Newegg+ membership and promo code FTTPDUA5268)
The 7800X3D is quite simply the best gaming CPU we've tested, although it must be said it gets beaten out as an all-rounder chip by some of Intel's offerings. Still, if high framerates are your main concern, this beastly CPU in combination with an RTX 4070 Ti Super and 32 GB of DDR5 should scream through games with ease.

It's been a little while since we've seen an RTX 4080 Super-equipped machine at $2,000, but this system strikes as a very well-balanced and powerful set of components. The 7700X is a very speedy gaming CPU, and combined with 32 GB of fast DDR5 and that beastly GPU this PC should fly through even the most demanding of games. As is often the case, however, you'll probably want to add in some sizeable storage when you get the chance.

Cooler Master TD5 Pro | Core i7 14700KF | RX 7900 XTX| 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1TB SSD | $2,299.99 $2,079.99 at Newegg (save $220)
The case might look a bit old-school from the front but it's what's inside that matters. Fortunately, it's all good, with a fast 20-core, 28-thread CPU, AMD's best gaming GPU with 24 GB of VRAM, plenty of fast DDR5 RAM, and a decent-sized SSD (though, you'll soon want to stick a larger drive in). The motherboard supports overclocking and all of the cooling stuff is Cooler Master's own gear, so you'll know it will be up to the job.

RTX 4090 machines are still hugely expensive, but this is the cheapest well-specced version we've seen in a while. You might still have to pay a pretty penny, but what you're getting here is the fastest gaming GPU you can currently buy in conjunction with a mega-fast i9 13900K and a healthy dose of DDR5. 2 TB of storage, too, which should give you plenty of room for a load of games and files.

ASRock Challenger Arc A750 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 3,584 shaders | 2,200 MHz boost | $199.99 $174.99 at Newegg (save $25)
The Intel discrete graphics cards have only gotten more relevant since their inauspicious launch. With successive driver releases increasing performance and now a significant price drop, the A750 is one of the most tempting budget GPUs around. It's a bit more power-hungry than AMD's RX 6600 but is a capable 1080p card knocking both RTX 3050 and RTX 3060 out of the value GPU stakes. Be warned, however, that some driver issues do still exist.

The RX 6600 is a quality 1080p GPU now that its price properly reflects its status. It usually fluctuates between $190 and $200, and even at $200, we're getting a budget graphics card that delivers high frame rates in the latest games at 1080p. PC gaming doesn't have to cost a fortune, you know?

With stock of the RX 6600 XT starting to dwindle it seems like the faster RX 6650 XT is taking its place as one of the best budget GPUs around. It's an 8GB GPU, with effectively the same core specs as the RX 6600 XT, but with a little higher clock speed boost. We like the newer RX 7600 more, but it also costs a little more.

As the budget baby of the RDNA 3 family, the RX 7600 faces a lot of competition. Not just from Intel and Nvidia, but from AMD's previous generation of cards too. At this price, though, it's quite a bit cheaper than the RX 6700 XT and in some games, it performs nearly as well. Not the most exciting of graphics cards, though.

If you must have Ada Lovelace, Nvidia's latest gaming architecture, the cheapest way in is this RTX 4060. Faster than the RTX 3060 but the price suggests it should have been better. You do get the full DLSS 3.5 suite, though, and it's pretty decent at encoding video for streaming. Nevertheless, we prefer AMD's RX 7600 or last-gen RX 6700.

Coming in at the same price as the plain ol' RX 6700 XT (which happens infrequently), this version comes with higher core and memory clocks. That generally makes for higher frame rates in games, though that does depend on what you're playing. It's worth a look, especially for all that speedy VRAM.

XFX SPEEDSTER RX 6800 | 16 GB GDDR6 | 3,840 shaders | 2,190 MHz boost | $339.99 at Walmart
This graphic card was launched over three years ago but it's still very potent, especially if you're after ultra-high fps in 1080p shooter games. It has bags of VRAM on a wide memory bus, backed up with mountains of cache. Makes the 8GB GPUs look miserly in comparison.

The RTX 4060 Ti might have had a bit of a rocky reception with that 8GB of VRAM, but we found it performed very well in our review and it makes a very solid mid-range performer, particularly with the ability to take advantage of DLSS 3 and Frame Generation. This is a small twin-fan model that should still run cool and quiet and delivers a lot of gaming performance in a super-efficient fashion.

At this price point, the best card to get used to be the RX 6800 XT but these days we have deals like this one, where the newer 7800 XT has the same price tag. It's only a little bit faster than the card it's replaced, and admittedly it's pretty much at MSRP, but you're still getting a lotta GPU for the money.

The RTX 4070 is a popular card and can be difficult to find at a discount, but it's important to remember that this price is cheaper than it was at launch. You're getting nearly RTX 3080 performance but with all those nice RTX 40 features. This Zotac model uses the traditional 8-pin PCIe power connector, rather than the new 12VHPWR one, which makes it far easier to install as an upgrade.

The RX 7900 XT is one of the more recent releases out of AMD, at least in the global market. It started out as a special edition for the Chinese gaming market, but it was rolled out globally to help the red team compete with the green guys. It's a good deal, too, being big chunks of the RX 7900 XT but with a little bit less of everything, to make a very performant but cheaper GPU.

Seeing a bunch of RX 7900 XTs selling for well less than the original MSRP is a welcome sight, and while they might get overshadowed by some of Nvidia's greatest, they deliver a huge amount of performance. What we like about the ASRock in particular is that it should run quieter than your average RX 7900 XT. We all could do with a little less noise from our PC.

It's also a high refresh rate IPS panel, too, so the colors will be on-point. The 400 cd/m² max brightness isn't stellar, but as this isn't a HDR screen I wouldn't worry about that, either.

First thing to say about this screen is that you don't get a stand as standard, so to speak. You have to spend another $100 if you don't already have a monitor arm you use. It's also worth stating there have been issues with Dough (previously known as Eve) fulfilling orders itself. This deal is specifically via B&H Photo, though, so you know the stock is in hand and ready to go. The final thing to say is that this monitor is glorious, and I'm a huge fan. It was also a $1,100 screen when it first came out, and is actually a pretty good HDR panel with its DisplayHDR 600 rating.

Samsung's hot new silly-wide OLED monitor has barely even been released, but it's already on sale. At 49 inches and sporting Samsung's QD-OLED tech, it doesn't look bad value next to all those $1,000-plus 34-inch ultrawide OLED, does it? Jeremy was, shall we say rather impressed in his review, and I reckon it looks like it was taken right off the set of a sci-fi film. Beautiful stuff.

LG C4 Evo OLED | 48-inch | 3840 x 2160 | 144Hz | OLED $1,599.99 $1,196.99 at Amazon (save $403)
Given the $800 to $1,000 most 27-inch 1440p OLED monitors cost, this 48-inch 4K OLED TV for just under $1,200 looks like a bit of a steal. It's a brand new 2024 model, not some ancient, dusty old-new-stock lump and supports up to 144Hz with a PC over HDMI 2.1, plus G-Sync and FreeSync support. It's one of the smaller OLED TV sets out there, though arguably still a touch too big to use as a pure monitor. But it's a lot of current-gen OLED TV for the money.

Samsung S90D OLED | 55-inch | 3840 x 2160 | 120Hz | OLED $1,997.99 $1,497.99 at Amazon (save $500)
We prefer Samsung's QD-OLED panels to LG WOLED tech due to their punchier full-screen performance. So, this latest-gen 2024 Samsung TV would be our pick. It's a little pricier than the LG alternatives, but it's still $500 off list. It supports 144Hz refresh and hits 1,200 nits peak HDR brightness. Full-screen brightness is a little over 200 nits, which is about as good as large-panel OLED TV tech currently gets.

LG C3 Evo OLED | 65-inch | 3840 x 2160 | 120Hz | OLED $1,999 $1,596.99 at Newegg (save $402.01)
Fancy some big-screen gaming fun? How about a huge 65-inch 4K OLED TV for $1,400? It does rather put those 27-inch 1440p  OLED monitors for $1,000 into perspective, huh? This an LG C3, and thus a 2023 model rather than the very latest C4 generation. But it's hardly ancient and it's good for 120Hz, which is probably plenty given the full 4K resolution. This is surely too big to be an actual monitor, but if you're looking for something to play games with in your living room or share with a console, well, this could be just the ticket.

LG OLED Flex | 42-inch | 120Hz | 3840 x 2160 | OLED $1,948.49 $1,696.99 at Amazon (save $251.50)
It's an older model, sir, but it checks out. The LG OLED Flex is based on LG's WOLED panel tech from the C2 and G2 generation from 2022 and 2023. So, it's not the very latest iteration. But this is still a 42-inch 4K OLED with 120Hz support and in throws in bendable panel tech, so you can switch between totally flat and up to 900R curve. It's far less than its $2,499 price it was at launch in late 2022. remarkable.

Team Group T-Force Vulkan Z | 512 GB | SATA 6 Gb/s | 530 MB/s read | 370 MB/s write | $37.99 $27.99 at Newegg (save $10)
If you're looking for a cheap, small SSD and you don't need NVMe performance, then Team Group's SATA drive is the ideal choice. You're still better off getting a larger 1 or 2 TB drive these days but getting a 512 GB SSD for under $30 is a bargain.

HP FX900 Pro | 512 GB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,400 MB/s read | 6,700 MB/s write | $54.99 at Amazon
It's not flashy, but honestly, do you need anything more than a fast and reliable drive from a good brand at a great price? HP's FX900 Pro certainly fits all those parameters, and with these kinds of speeds on offer, this SSD is no slouch. It has all the specs you might want at this level, including 1 GB of DRAM for heavy workloads.

Solidigm is a brand name of SK Hynix, a company that directly makes memory chips for SSDs. Here you've got a drive that has fairly slow read/write speeds compared to others in our curated list, but they're still plenty fast enough for most users and way better than a SATA SSD.

Nextorage NEM-PA | 1 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,300 MB/s Read | 6,000 MB/s write | $149.99 $69.99 at Newegg (save $80)
Nextorage may be a relatively new name in the world of NMVe SSDs but don't be fooled by appearances. This drive uses the ubiquitous Phison E18 controller, and the 1 TB version represents excellent price/performance value here. This is the version with a DRAM cache, making it a little more responsive than DRAM-less versions, despite a slight reduction in stated straight-line performance. Check out our review for more.

Very similar to the excellent NM790, the NM800 uses different flash and controller chips but performs pretty much the same. It comes with 1 GB of DRAM, though, which helps sustain write performance in heavy tasks.

If you don't have enough M.2 NVMe slots on your motherboard for more storage, then don't worry as you can still install a (much slower than NVMe, admittedly) SSD via a SATA port. The Crucial MX500 is pretty much the best one out there, as nothing else offers the same blend of performance and value for money as the MX500. It's also available in 2 TB and 4 TB sizes, with the prices scaling on par with the storage capacity.

WD Black SN850X | 1 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,300 MB/s read | 6,300 MB/s write | $84.99 at Amazon (save $30)
This is our favorite SSD for gaming right now. Unlike the cheaper SN770, the SN850X encapsulates the best PCIe 4.0 offers in terms of performance (check out our review). That makes it a great fit for a boot drive with space to spare for your game library, and at this price, we're happy to pay the premium for its higher speed.

Lexar Play 2230 | 1 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 5,200 MB/s read | 4,700 MB/s write | $109.99 at Amazon
For Steam Deck upgrades, the Lexar Play is our new favorite and you can see why in our full review. It's fast for a 2230 size format, with great sustained performance. It also runs cool, even under a heavy load. The only negative is the fact that 1 TB is the largest capacity available and its price is volatile.

Gen5 SSDs are super fast but also super expensive, but if you really must have the best storage performance, then this T-Force Z540 is the most sensible one to go for. But as we said in our review of the 2 TB version, the extra cost over a Gen4 model isn't really worth it.

There's no DRAM to boost sustained performance and the SLC cache isn't especially big, either. But the speed is good enough for most workloads and when 1 TB of storage costs this much, who cares that it's not flash or fancy? Not us, that's for sure.

Nextorage G-LE | 2 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,400 MB/s read | 6,400 MB/s write | $249.99 $124.99 at Newegg (save $125)
This DRAM-less Nextorage drive still has plenty of pace about it, and if you're just using it as an extra game library SSD to contend with your expanding library, but still need some storage speed, it's a great option. The extra cache can come in handy as a boot drive, increasing responsiveness for smaller write operations, but for games, this more affordable option can be a good way to save some cash on a new build or upgrade.

Nextorage NEM-PAB | 2 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,300 MB/s read | 6,900 MB/s write | $249.99 $135.99 at Newegg (save $114)
You can expect top performance out of this drive, which is impressive for the price. It's actually frequently faster than some pricier drives, and we've generally been very impressed with Nextorage's drive in our review. Unfortunately, the price for this drive is really volatile but it's still one of the better-value 2 TB drives with a heatsink right now.

This SSD is a great deal right now, compared to slimmer sales elsewhere, and Lexar has put together a superb SSD in the NM790. Thanks to high-layer NAND and a low-power controller, you can get tons of storage here on an energy-efficient and great-performing drive for not much cash. Often much less cash than the competition, even. Read our Lexar NM790 (4 TB) review for more.

This Team Group drive isn't the fastest compact SSD you can stick in your Steam Deck, but it is the cheapest 2TB drive you'll be able to find for your wee handheld gaming PC. And it will also be a little quicker than the stock drive the Deck ships with, too.

If you're looking for lots of storage but don't need a blazing NVMe drive, then this is the cheapest way of putting a 4 TB SSD in your gaming PC. Just don't expect it to sustain full speed under heavy workloads and you'll be fine.

Silicon Power UD90 | 4 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 5,000 MB/s read | 4,500 MB/s write | $239.99 $209.99 at Amazon (save $30)
This Silicon Power might not be the fastest of drives, but it's difficult to argue with this much storage for this sort of money. With a sequential read/write of 5,000 MB/s and 4,500 MB/s, it's still not what you'd call slow and should be fine for gaming, and it comes from a reliable brand.

Team Group MP44 | 4 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,400 MB/s read | 6,900 MB/s write | $259.99 $226.99 at Newegg (save $33)
This Team Group boasts some mighty specs for the money, though it's actually the same hardware as in the Lexar NM790. The sequential read/write speeds are extremely high but it can only sustain them over short bursts. At this price, it's well worth putting up with that limitation.

Silicon Power XS70 | 4 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,200 MB/s read | 6,800 MB/s write | $309.99 $259.99 at Amazon (save $50)
High-performance 4TB SSDs are starting to rocket in price but if you absolutely must have one, this is an excellent choice. Mountains of storage, blistering speed: This XS70 has them both, but you'll be paying a pretty penny for it. At least it comes with a decent heatsink to keep temperatures under control.

Not all external SSDs need to be big and bulky. This Team Group PD20M is just 40 g in weight and 8.2 mm thick, making it very portable. It's also MagSafe-compatible so you can attach it to the back of an iPhone and extend its storage, with an appropriate cable. As with all fast external SSDs, you'll need to have a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 (20 Gbps) port to get the full speed.

If you want one of the smallest and lightest external SSDs around, then you can't go wrong with this Adata model. At 2.5 inches in length, it'll fit in any pocket, though that does make it a bit easy to lose. Don't forget that your PC will need to have a 20 Gbps USB 3.2 port to reach maximum performance.

Samsung T7 Shield | 1 TB | USB 3.2 Gen2 | 1,050 MB/s read | 1,000 MB/s write | $169.99 $99.99 at Amazon (save $70)
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 are 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.

If you read our full review of the Core i5 13600K, you'll see why we rate it as being the best all-around CPU you can buy at the moment. It's almost as fast as Core i9 12900K in gaming and multi-threaded applications but doesn't use anywhere near the same amount of power to do so. Still, it does get a bit on the toasty side, so make sure you use a good CPU cooler.

This CPU is probably the most underrated in AMD's Zen 4 line-up and it's because each CCD chiplet has six cores, 12 threads instead of the full eight-core, 16-thread total.

If the normal Ryzen 9 7900X isn't gamer enough for you, then get one with 64 MB of 3D V-cache bonded to one of the CCDs and enjoy a healthy performance boost in lots of games. Again, most folks will head for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D but that's $60 more expensive.

This CPU isn't just the best gaming processor you can get for your money, it's simply the best there is. It's just as fast as anything Intel has to offer and consumes far less power to boot. Of course, this isn't the best CPU at everything, as it's designed to be brilliant at gaming (check out our review here). For content creation and productivity tasks, you'll want a CPU with more cores and threads. Normally, the biggest downside to choosing the Ryzen 7 7800X3D was its price, but this deal counters that problem immediately.

If you're looking for a CPU that will be a monster at content creation, but still be more than good enough in gaming and general use, the Ryzen 9 7950X is a great choice (read our review here). Especially since this deal is even cheaper than AMD's own sale! As with all Zen 4 CPUs, you'll need a motherboard with an AM5 socket and it only supports DDR5 RAM, but that's fine if you're looking to do a full system upgrade. It can use a lot of power and get pretty hot under load, but it can be switched to an ECO mode in software, to cut both of these right back down. There are better processors for just gaming but this one is peerless for rendering and video editing.

Asus ROG Strix Flare II | Mechanical | Wired | Full-size | RGB | 8 KHz | $129.99 $114.99 at Newegg (save $15)
This is a big keyboard, for those that really like a desk-dominator with all the features. The ROG NX Blue mechanical switches are tuned for keystroke feel, the 8 KHz polling rate is about as fast as you'll find for responsiveness, and the built-in sound-dampening foam should keep things quiet. Dedicated media controls in the top left corner are a nice feature too, for quick adjustments on the fly.

The numpad can be attached either side, the media dock features a handy display, and it's got four customisable display keys that can be modified to your heart's desire. Oh, and the excellent switches can be swapped too, making this a jack-of-all-trades and a master of many, as we found in our review.

ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless | Tru-Mode connection| switch dampening pads | $179.99 $149.99 at Amazon (save $30)
This price is about $15 off the lowest ever, but it is still a great price for what is our best overall gaming keyboard. The sound dampening is excellent, and the pre-lubed switches may sound cursed, but they're actually life-changing if you want your keys to bounce back smoothly (see our review).

The Logitech G915 is normally a pretty pricey affair, but this is a sizeable discount on a very well-featured full-sized mechanical keyboard. With low-profile mechanical linear switches, an aluminium alloy frame and dedicated G-keys and media controls, it's a lot of high-quality keeb for the money.

Our favorite high-end gaming keyboard is now moderately cheaper with money off over at Newegg. It's still an expensive add-on for any gaming setup, but this keyboard is sublime for gaming and typing thanks to its lubed switches. Don't knock it until you've tried it!

The Arctis Nova Pro offers smashing sound quality, supreme comfort and a 30 hour battery life on the hot swappable batteries. The DAC also doubles as a fast charging dock. It's no wonder this is one of the best wireless gaming headsets around. It may not come with the most amazing mic, but the Sonar feature in the GG software does a fantastic job of fixing the fuzziness.

The cheaper version of our favorite gaming earbuds, the TWS Air may have fewer features going for it—active noise canceling is omitted for one thing—but they're still worth a look if you're after sleek, solidly build gaming earbuds for less. They offer 16hrs of battery life with the case, too.

Corsair knows headsets, and the HS80 is no half-measure. It comes with an excellent microphone and great audio quality. And although it can feel a little bulky at 360g, the floating headband design keeps it sitting comfortably on your head.

HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless | 15 - 21,000Hz | Wireless | 300hr battery | $199.99 $147.05 at Amazon (save $52.94)
There are specific things you want from a wireless headset: comfort, great audio, and a long battery life. The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is the best wireless gaming headset around beause it manages to combine all of those key elements. And when we're talking about battery life, nothing else comes close to the 300 hours of listening time they can offer.

Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (Gen1) | 12 - 28,000Hz | Wireless | 24 hour battery | $179.99 $129.99 at Amazon (save $50)
This is still the gaming headset I go back to regularly at home. It's comfortable, light, and has a great audio feel, too. And I love that physical volume knob on the left-hand ear cup. The mic isn't great and the 24 hour battery life looks limited against the Cloud Alpha Wireless, both things that were updated in the Gen2 model, but I've never been bothered by the battery life in real life. And at this price I think I'd take them over the HyperX headset.

Corsair HS65 Surround | 20 - 20,000Hz | Wired | $69.99 $39.99 at Amazon (save $30)
Normally the pricier cousin of our favorite budget gaming headset, the Corsair HS65 are discounted to the point they're actually cheaper than the other set. I'd call that a win. The recent Corsair headsets have really impressive mics, now permanently attached flip-up options, and the sound is surprisingly good for a pretty standard headset, too.

Audeze Maxwell | 10 Hz - 50,000 Hz | Wireless | 80hr battery | $299 $269 at Amazon (save $30)
There's no getting away from it, $269 is still an awful lot of money to spend on a PC gaming headset, but the Maxwell delivers audiophile planar magnetic drivers, and that means you're getting wireless sound that standard PC gaming headsets cannot match. The tonal separation and detail in the Maxwell is second to none and they've never been more affordable. 'Cos yeah, I'm not going to say 'cheap', though compared with other planar magnetic headphones they kinda are.

Meta Quest 3 | VR Headset | 128 GB | $499.99 $429.99 at Amazon (save $70)

Steam Deck (LCD) | 512GB SSD | $449 at Steam
Okay, the Steam Deck may have had an OLED refresh but the original version is still the archetype of what a mobile PC gaming device should be. It's just as powerful as the most recent model so all those Steam Deck compatible games should run well. It's the OG PC gaming handheld, and it still demands respect.

If detachable controllers are your thing, the Legion Go comes with a sweet, 8.8-inch, 2560 x 1600p panel so you can dock it and lean back a little. It's chunky and a little over the top, screen-wise, when it comes to games that require more high-fidelity, but it's a great little machine for storming through your indie game backlog on the go.
