With transfer speeds up to 1,050MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 2 it's no slouch when it comes to throwing files around either. And hey, it looks pretty good too.

Goplus Gaming Racing Chair w/LED| $369.99 $209.99 at Walmart (save $160)
Let's be clear: This chair looks absolutely ridiculous, and like a lot of cheap gaming chairs it's probably not built to last. Its LED lighting is almost surely tacky as hell. But if you live for that over-the-top RGB life, by god, this is the glowy chair for you.

Secretlab Titan Evo 2022 Black | 4D armrests | $599 $469 at Secretlab (save $140)
This is our pick for the best gaming chair, and you'll know why once you sit in it. Or read our review. As for this specific design, it is one of the more understated of the lot. Its not as sensual to the touch as the Softweave fabric choice, but still boasts immaculately upholstered, premium quality Neo Hybrid Leatherette, and of course fantastic ergonomics. 

Secretlab Titan Evo 2022 Plush Pink | 4D armrests | $619 $489 at Secretlab (save $130)
Nothing makes a statement like a baby pink gaming chair, but of course there are other colours to chose from. It's a standout choice for the Softweave Plus Fabric design, and is a top tier design, pink or not.

Secretlab Omega Classic | 4D armrests | $499 $359 at Secretlab (save $140)
Wrapped in Secretlab prime 2.0 PU Leather, this Classic Omega gaming chair is the more reasonably priced choice. It may not come with magnetic headrests but it's highly adjustable, and there are more designs to choose from than with the Titan. 

Secretlab Omega SoftWeave 2020 Series | 4D armrests | $429 $389 at Secretlab (save $30)
Until the latest refresh, the Secretlab Omega was our favorite gaming chair, and it's still a great option. With a modest discount it's still not 'cheap' but this SoftWeave version is beautiful to sit on, and super comfortable too.

Herman Miller x Logitech G Embody | 300 lbs max | 2D armrests | $1,595 $1,355.75 at Herman Miller (save $240)
Herman Miller x Logitech G Embody is one of our favorite gaming chairs. It has incredible back support, cooling material for active gaming positions, and a 12-year warranty. It's pricey, but worth it, and we rarely see it discounted.

DXRacer Master | 353 lbs max | 4D armrests | $629.99 $408.90 at Walmart (save $221.01)
It's not the easiest thing to put together, but the DXRacer Master has earned a place among those on our best gaming chairs guide for a reason. It's not the cheapest option but its the most modular, highly ergonomic and we're totally convinced it could survive a nuclear blast.

Staples Emerge Vortex | 275 lbs max | Flip-up armrests | $229.99 $129.99 at Staples (save $100)
The Emerge Vortex is an inexpensive path to a stylish gaming chair, but offers all the basics: Height and tilt adjustments, lumbar support, flip-up armrests, and a built-in headrest. And if the black-grey combo doesn't turn your crank, you can also opt for brighter blue and red accents instead.

AKRacing Core Series EX | 330 lbs max | 3D armrests | $479 $311.99 at Best Buy (save $167.01)
Usually almost $500, this is a hulking saving. It's not the most well padded and in full recline apparently feels a little precarious, but it's comfortable, well built, and great for wider folks.

Herman Miller Aeron Chair | Three sizes | Adjustable arms | $1,495 $1,270.75 at Herman Miller (save $231.75)
The Aeron has long been office chair royalty. It's highly customisable, like the Embody above, but is made from lighter, mesh fabrics. It's very comfortable, too, though we do prefer the gaming stylings of the Embody as well. Still, the Aeron is a great option if you're willing to invest in your desk setup with a superb ergonomic chair.

Vertagear SL5000| 330 lbs max | 4D armrests | head cushion | $459.99 $389.99 at Vertagear (save $70)
The Vertagear SL5000 offers all the features you'd expect from a gaming chair at this price, and that means plenty of adjustability and style. One thing it offers that others don't, however, and it is an expensive optional extra, is RGB LED lighting around the top of the chair. I mean if that's your style, it certainly has a unique selling point. It is $239.99 on sale, though. Ouch. 

Staples Emerge Vartan | 275 lbs max | Center tilt | $269.99 $169.99 at Staples (save $100)
Another lower-priced option, the Staples Emerge Vartan is an upgrade over the Vortex, with a bonded leather back and seat, a higher back, office chair-style center tilt, and adjustable lumbar support. It also comes with additional head and lumbar pillows, supports up to 275 pounds, and offers an extra color option: The Vartan is available with blue, white, red, and purple accents.

Vertagear PL1000 | 330 lbs max | 2D armrests | head cushion |$329.99 $279.99 at Vertagear (save $50)
This chair is a fairly simple beast, but that means you get the basics done well and none of the fluff. Head cushion, back support, and a selection of nicely stitched finishes compliment the PL1000's price.

Shure MV7 Podcast Microphone | USB or XLR | Unidirectional Cardioid | $249 $219 at Amazon (save $30)
This is our favorite microphone and is on sale for the cheapest price we've ever seen. Sure, the Shure MV7 at $219 sure ain't cheap, but it's a mic capable of impeccable sound reproduction on an almost professional level. The fact it offers both XLR and USB connections are proof positive of that, too.

Blue Yeti Nano | USB | Multiple pickup patterns | $99.99 $79.99 at Amazon (save $20)
Blue mics have been the gold standard for streaming microphones for the longest time, and the Yeti Nano carries on that tradition with an affordable, accurate, but simple design that packs all sound quality of the Yetis that have gone before it. And it's got a great name. Makes me think of a tiny abominable snowman, and that pleases me.

Elgato HD60 S Capture Card | 1080p | 60 fps | $179.99 $129.99 at Amazon (save $40)
This is our pick of the best capture cards around for its ease-of-use and general all-round power. It's capable of capturing up to 1080/60 making it perfect for any capture and streaming you might want to do without the massive overheads of a 4K resolution.

Elgato HD60 Pro | 1080p | 60 fps | $170.99 $99.95 at Amazon (save $71.04)
The HD60 Pro might just be the step-up in quality you need to take your recordings to the next level. It's the perfect beginner's capture card and will take the encoding load off your GPU at bitrates up to 60 Mbps.

Razer Kiyo Pro | 1080p | 60 fps | HDR at 30 fps | Adaptive light sensor | $199.99 $149.99 at Gamestop (save $50)
The Kiyo Pro ditches the cheaper Kiyo's built-in ring light for an adaptive light sensor which makes this one of the best webcams to deal with low light settings. It delivers an impressively sharp 1080p image, and its autofocus is quick and it has reliable white balance, too.

Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro | 20,000 DPI | Wireless | $129.99 $68.17 at Amazon (save $61)
This is my boy, my absolute favorite gaming mouse, and the one sat at my right hand right now. It's frustratingly expensive normally, but at this price you are getting an accurate, responsive mouse with that iconic DeathAdder styling. A true weapon of a gaming rodent.

Razer Viper Ultimate | Wireless | with dock | 20,000 DPI | Ambidextrous | $149.99 $99.99 at Amazon (save $50)
With swathes of battery life, and a... razer sharp sensor (sorry) this super light mouse comes in at 74g and can be wielded in either hand. It's one for the competitive gamer's who like to fling their rodent about the place.

Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed | Wireless | 16,000 DPI | Right-handed | $59.99 $36.99 at Best Buy (Save $23)
Wireless shouldn't mean expensive, and in the case of the Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed wireless mouse, it doesn't. Especially with this deal over at Best Buy. You can also rest assured this is a high quality mouse from a reputable brand with a great ergonomic shape.

Razer Naga Pro | Wireless | 20,000 DPI | Right handed | $149.99 $109.99 at Amazon (Save $40)
Another of our favourites, this is a nice weighty option. One that comes with three interchangable side plates for a host of play-styles. Just make sure you don't lose the cable because nothing else fits.

Razer Naga Trinity | 16,000 DPI | Wired | Right-handed | $99.99 $68.99 at Amazon (save $31)
With the same triple-threat of magnetically interchangeable button plates as its pricier Pro sibling, the Naga Trinity is one of the best MMO mice out there. In fact it's actually got one up on the Pro, because it comes with the excellent circle-of-buttons panel which Razer annoyingly ditched for the updated wireless version.

Razer Basilisk Ultimate | Wireless | Charging dock included | 20,000 DPI | $169.99 $119.99 at Best Buy (save $50)
If you want to go all out on your gaming mouse, the Razer Basilisk Ultimate is the way to go. It's a fan favourite, and we're big fans too, although clearly it's a lot pricier than your average gaming mouse, even a wireless one. With the included charging dock, though, you can take the hassle out of charging your battery.

EVGA X17 gaming mouse | 16,000 DPI | 8K Hz polling rate | $79.99 $24.99 at Amazon (Save $55)
EVGA recently decided to do away with the more traditional 1,000Hz polling rate in favour of an 8K one, which it says is that much faster for competitive gaming. The X17 is the wired mouse with said high polling rate, and it's a pretty nifty mouse besides that, too. 

Logitech G502 Hero | 25,000 DPI | Wired | Right handed | $49.99 $39.99 at Target (save $10)
It's not the biggest saving, but it does mean that this Logitech classic of a gaming mouse is now available for less than $40, which feels like a bargain. The angular shape might put you off initially, but it's super comfortable in the hand, and the Logitech Hero sensor is one of the best around.

Logitech G203 | Wired | 8,000 DPI | Right handed | $39.99 $19.99 at Amazon (Save $20)
Already listed as the best cheap gaming mouse around on our best gaming mouse guide, this is a great choice for people just starting out, or who've already blown their budget on high-powered components, but who still want to go with a trusted brand. And at half price now, it's a no-brainer.

SteelSeries Prime | 18,000 DPI | 80g | $129.99 $90.99 at Amazon (Save $39)
It's not a huge saving on this wireless rodent, but for the competitive prowess it exhibits, it's certainly worth a look. The TrueMove Pro sensor is great, and it's nice and light for FPS players looking to fling it around the mouse pad. 

Corsair K100 | Optical Mechanical linear switch | 4K Hz polling rate | per-key RGB | $229.99 $179.99 at Amazon (save $50)
Top of our best gaming keyboards, this opto-mechanical wonder is super responsive, and nicely premium when it comes to build quality. It's certainly worth a look, though you'll have to get both Elgato and iCue softwares to make it work. Still, the only other downside was the price, and this is a decent discount.

Logitech G413 | Mechanical Romer-G switch | USB Passthrough | $89.99 $59.99 at Amazon (save $30)
Logitech has put together a very safe keyboard in the G413, and one we've come to appreciate for its simplicity and function. It's mechanical, using Logitech's own Romer-G switches, and is built to last. Only thing is it's available with red lighting and not RGB. I know that'll be a dealbreaker for some, but for a mechanical keyboard it's great value.

Razer Cynosa Chroma | Low profile | $59.99 $31.09 at Amazon (Save $29)
The Chroma is already a great budget board, but at almost half price its worth consideration even despite it being membrane board. What's great is you get a low profile, spill resistant keyboard from a trusted manufacturer.

Razer Huntsman V2 Analog | Opto-mechanical | $199.99 $149.99 at Amazon (Save $50)
Okay, so it's a refurbished keyboard, but this is very cheap for a rather supreme gaming keyboard so it's worth checking out. Optical switches make it faster than your average mechanical board, and you get a wrist rest as well. Not too shabby.

HyperX Cloud II | Wired | Closed-back | $99.99 $59 at Amazon (save $40.99)
As the wired version of the Cloud II, you don't get the same freedom as the wireless model, but you still get some supreme quality cans. And with a detachable mic, 7.1 surround, and a sturdy, light frame, these will see you right in comfort.

HyperX Cloud Alpha S | Wired | Closed-back | $129.99 $79.99 at Best Buy (Save $50)
Similar to the Cloud II, the Alpha S has great quality sound and reliable build quality behind it, with a little more frequency range. Its USB adapter also makes it more versatile for cross-platform usage. We gave it an 82 in our Cloud Alpha S review, so you can bet it's a cracking headset, but particularly so at this price.

Razer BlackShark V2 X | Wired | Closed-back | $59.99 $39.99 at Best Buy (save $20)
With a spectacular range of sound, and impeccable comfort this is already a great headset, and that's without mentioning its understated look with sharp, distinctive Razer green accent. Along with 7.1 surround sound, all this makes for a cracking deal.

Drop + Sennheiser PC37X gaming headset | Wired | Open-back| $120 $95 at Drop (save $25)
The EPOS (née Sennheiser) Game One's have been a very popular gaming headset for a while now, and these Drop versions take that formula and deliver it at a decent price with discount. It's not often we see many open-back gaming headsets, with a microphone included, and that makes for a more open, wider sound without having to buy separate gear.

Drop + Sennheiser HD 6XX headphones | Wired | Open-back | $220 $179 at Drop (save $41)
This pair of headphones is based on the venerable Sennheiser HD 650s, which our Jacob just so happens to own. He loves his pair and couldn't recommend them enough if you're just getting into high-end audio. These HD 6XX are reportedly as much a match for the HD 650s, too, though they come in a swanky blue instead of Sennheiser's grey. You'll want an amp/DAC for these, which Drop also offer in the O2, though Jacob recommends a Schiit combo. He's not joking. 

Drop + Sennheiser HD 8XX headphones | Wired | Open-back | $1,100 $949 at Drop (save $151)
The Sennheiser HD 800 S are our Jacob's dream headphones, and these HD 8XX from Sennheiser and Drop are made in their image. They're pretty darn similar, too, with the same construction and factory of origin. Yet the HD 8XX have been tweaked a little bit, which reportedly makes them slightly less neutral sounding than the HD 800 S, and so ultimately offer a different listening experience.

Corsair HS70 Pro | Wireless | 16hr battery | Closed-back | $99.99 $76.98 at Amazon (save $23)
Corsair impresses with its budget take on the wireless headset, featuring impressively robust build quality and an overall no-nonsense headset. The sound quality is really impressive for the money too. The battery life isn't as strong as some, but it's still a decent offering, especially at this reduced price. 

Logitech G935 | Wireless | 12hr battery | Closed | $169.99 $109.99 at Newegg (Save $60)
A little edgy looking, but still a well rounded headset. You don't get the immense frequency response range that some have, but they're comfortable, and come with surround sound. Being wireless they're also freeing, so that's nice.

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | 16-core, 32-thread | 105W | $799.99 $718.89 at Amazon (save $82)
If you need true CPU power, then this is the processor you want. It's still a big pile of cash for a processor, but if you're a gamer that also has a creative bent, then this will pay for itself quickly enough. 3D rendering, video encoding, and raw number-crunching all benefit from the huge amount of cores on offer here. That it's an awesome gaming chip as well is just the icing on the cake.

AMD Ryzen 7 5700G | eight-Core, 16-thread | 65W | $359 $309.99 at Best Buy (save $50)
This isn't a massive saving, to be fair, but given you don't need a graphics card with this capable APU for some light gaming, it's still a decent bargain. You get a full-fat eight-core, 16-thread chip that will handle serious tasks every bit as well as more expensive offerings. We liked this chip a lot when we reviewed it. It comes with a cooler too.

Intel Core i3 10100F | four-core, eight-thread | 65W | $129 $91.89 at Amazon (save $37)
There was once a time when a four-core/eight-thread CPU such as this would've ruled the lineup as the top Core i7. Those days are over, and have been for a while, and now you can find a chip that's equally as good for gaming under $100. Pick up a cheaper 400-series chipset and you'll be able to build a more than capable gaming PC with this at its heart. Just bear in mind you will need a discrete GPU for this, as there's no iGPU on the chip.

Intel Core i5 11600K | six-core, 12-thread | 125W | $299.99 $229.99 at Newegg (save $70)
Of all the 11th Gen chips, it was the Core i5 11600K that stood out to us as a good deal for gamers. That said, it's recently been replaced by the more capable Core i5 12600K, though you can't find that for anywhere near as cheap. Bonus here is you can also save cash on a cheaper motherboard, so it's all-round a great pick for a budget PC.

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB | 2x 8GB | 3200MT/s | C16 | $102.99 $75.99 at Amazon (save $27)
This is a great memory kit for both AMD and Intel-powered machines, with a decent speed and low latency. It's not quite the rapid pace of DDR5, which has now entered the scene, but it's a great kit nonetheless. The price of this kit fluctuates weekly, but this is a low asking price for this RAM over the past year.

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB | 2x 8GB | 3200MT/s | C16 | $119.99 $74.99 at Amazon (save $45)
See that cheaper RAM above? This is pretty much the same except with RGB lighting. No judgement here. We like RGB RAM as much as the next person, so if that's your jam and you're willing to pay for it, this is a pretty sweet discount.

G.Skill Ripjaws V | 32GB | 2x 16GB | DDR4-3200 | $99.99 at Newegg
You'll struggle to find this much system memory, at this speed, for this little cash. G.Skill is a well-known brand, too, so this isn't some bargain basement kit either. If anyone's feeling the need to give their gaming rig or video editing suite a sweet upgrade this is one of the most affordable ways to do so.

Corsair Vengeance SO-DIMM RAM | 32GB | 2x 16GB | DDR4 | 3,200MT/s | CAS 22 | $147.99 $137.99 at Newegg (save $10)
Corsair's Vengeance RAM has found a home in many a desktop PC, but there's also a mobile equivalent if you fancy it. This isn't as cheap as the Crucial stuff we've seen, nor at such a discount, but the price for this kit has been dropping over the year, and it's currently sitting at its lowest price ever by my reckoning. Corsair doesn't specify who makes the RAM chips for every kit, but it has been known to use Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron chips in the past. So a bit of everything. 

G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM RAM | 64GB | 2x 32GB | DDR4 | 3200MT/s | CAS 22 | $202.99 $179.99 at Newegg (save $23)
This kit may be overkill for a pure gaming machine, but PC gamers often pay no attention to those sorts of sensibilities. If you're using your laptop for a lot more than gaming, however, this is definitely a great upgrade, and one of few you can do to your laptop to make it purr. This kit is down to its lowest price we've seen it at ever, so now might be the time to take a plunge. Just make sure your laptop supports up to 64GB of memory. Some don't.

Asus RT-AX88U AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 Router | Wi-Fi 6 | Dual-band | 8x Gigabit LAN ports | 1.8GHz quad-core PCU | $348.99 $259.99 at Amazon (save $90)
This Asus router sits at the top of our best gaming routers guide, and with good reason. Great speeds, plenty of useful features for gamers, and support for Wi-Fi 6 all add up to a top-tier offering. That it's enjoying a healthy saving in the Cyber Monday deals season is the icing on the wireless cake. 

TP-Link C5400X | Wi-Fi 5 | Tri-band | 1.8GHz CPU | 8x Gigabit LAN ports | $279.99 $229.99 at Amazon (Save $50)
This Wi-Fi 5 router is particularly speedy on its 5GHz band and is easy to use. Even at its normal price, it's worth buying for its range and simple QoS management.

TP-Link Archer A7 | Wi-Fi 5 | Dual-band | 4x Gigabit LAN ports | 2.4GHz | $79.99 $49.99 at Amazon (Save $30)
While not an abnormal price for this router, this is still a great opportunity to upgrade to a Wi-Fi 5 router that supports 5GHz connections if you don't already have one. This router has solid speeds and is easy to set up too.

Netgear Nighthawk Pro XR500 |Wi-Fi 5 | Dual-band | 4 Gigabit LAN ports | 1.7GHz dual-core CPU | $249.99 $199.99 at Amazon (Save $50)
Netgear's first gaming router is getting on a bit at this point but that doesn't stop it from being a strong pick. Its dual-core 1.7GHz CPU, fast speeds, and four Gigabit ethernet ports make it worth picking up.

Nvidia Shield | 4K | HDR | Android TV | $149.99 $129.99 at Amazon (save $20)
I would be lost without the Shield right now, as a dedicated cord-cutter this is what powers my TV. It's also the PC gamer's best friend, allowing you to stream directly from your Nvidia-based desktop rig to your big screen TV. That and GeForce Now makes it a hell of a 4K-toting, HDR lovin' package.

Xbox Elite Series 2 |Xbox Wireless | Bluetooth | USB Type-C | 40hr battery life | $179.99 $157.99 at Amazon (save $22)
Simply the best PC gaming controller out there. Reassuringly weighty, robust, responsive, and it looks great, too. The rechargeable battery is a bonus, the paddles are less intrusive than before, and the three profile options are more than welcome as well.

Airpods Pro |
