Best Cyber Monday PC gaming deals 2022: the discount hits keep on coming

Meta Quest 2 | Two controllers | Beat Saber + Resident Evil 4 included | 128GB storage | $399.99 $349.99 at Amazon (save $50)
We don't love the Meta Quest 2's $100 price bump, but we do love the headset itself. It's an all-round excellent device that works both standalone and as a great PC VR unit. With the two included games it's almost like the price hike never happened, right? Well, only if you wanted Beat Saber and Resi 4 in the first place.

Razer BlackShark V2 Pro | 50mm drivers | 12-28,000Hz| Closed-back | Wireless | $179.99 $97.32 at Amazon (save $82.67)
The wireless version of our favorite gaming headset. We thought it was a good but expensive headset when it was $180, happily recommended it at $130, and now it's under $100 for Cyber Monday. A great choice at its lowest price yet.

WD Black SN770 | 1TB | PCIe 4.0 | 5,150MB/s reads | 4,900MB/s writes | $129.99 $82.84 at Amazon (save $47.15)
It may not match the peak performance of the pricier SN850, but this is a great budget option. And a good shout for anyone still stuck on a PCIe 3.0 motherboard but with a yearning for an upgrade soonish. It's a DRAM-less option, but the underlying performance is strong enough for most tasks.

MSI Katana CF66 | Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti | Intel Core i7 12650H | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | 1080p | 144Hz | $1,699 $1,149 at Best Buy (save $550)
All the really important stuff is beefed up with this gaming laptop. It packs the RTX 3070 Ti and Core i7 12650H, two up-to-date and impressive components that will match the 1080p 144Hz screen for performance. There are a few things that are a little more budget on this laptop than others, but at this price it's very easy to persuade myself they don't matter all that much. 

Asus ROG Zephyrus 14 | Nvidia RTX 3060 | AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS | 14-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $1,399.99 $899.99 at Best Buy (save $500)
If you don't want a hulking gaming laptop, let me introduce the Zephyrus 14: a 14-incher that can game without busting your bank balance or your shoulder when lugging it around. No-nonsense specs in a delightful package. That $500 saving doesn't hurt either.

PowerColor Red Dragon RX 6800 XT | 16GB GDDR6 | 4,608 shaders | 2,310MHz boost | $599.99 $554.99 at Amazon (save $45)
This is the cheapest RX 6800 XT deal we've found since the old Newegg deal vanished. Either way, though, this is a fantastic card for the money. It's essentially the same standard gaming performance as an RTX 3080, but for a fraction of the price. Indeed, the cheapest RTX 3070 Ti was more than this.

Gigabyte Aorus 5 SE4 | Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 | Intel Core i7 12700H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 360Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $1,299.99 $1,149.99 at Newegg (save $150)
A new 12th Gen Intel CPU combined with a powerful 130W RTX 3070 for $1,150 is a solid offering. That's especially true since this one's paired with a fantastically speedy 360Hz panel. There's plenty of RAM for your games and the chassis is attractive too.

Lenovo IdeaCentre Gaming 5i | Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 | Intel Core i7 12700 | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $899.99 at Best Buy
This is another OEM-style PC, which means it sacrifices the gamer aesthetic and some of the case standards we've become accustomed to. It's not so bad, however, as the actual specifications on this machine, for $849, are enough to win some favour. A really solid spec for 1080p gaming, it's the Intel Core i7 12700 that will make a huge difference if you hope to use this machine for streaming or video editing, too. 

Razer Huntsman Mini | 60% | Linear optical switch | Tenkeyless| $129.99 $79.99 at Best Buy (Save $50)
There's something about the Huntsman Mini in white that makes all that RGB on it pop in a way that I just adore. Oh, and the keyboard itself is actually really nice to type on, too. For less than $100, it's a hell of a deal on an otherwise pretty pricey 60% keyboard. 

Razer Viper Ultimate| Wireless | 20,000 DPI |8 buttons | RGB lighting | 74g | $149.99 $74.99 at Amazon (save $75)
The Razer Viper Ultimate has an impressive battery life of about 70 hours and its own charging dock, which is cool if you fancy a picturesque desk. It's a generous runtime for a wireless gaming mouse.

Discord Nitro | 1 month | $9.99 Free with 1-month purchase
With expanded emoji options, better streaming, and other minor benefits, Discord's premium subscription used to be a hard sell for anything other than the app's most hardcore users. After the recent addition of in-app games with the new Activities button, you might want to give it a real shot.

Ipason gaming desktop | Ryzen 5 5600G | 16GB RAM | 500GB SSD | $849.99 $509.99 at Newegg (save $340)
It's a stretch to call this one a true gaming PC, if I'm being totally honest, but hear me out. There are some great Cyber Monday graphics card deals out there already, and the rest of this rig is a great platform to build a gaming machine with. All you need is a GPU. Pick up an RX 6650 XT on offer and you'll have a full rig for less than $800.

Lenovo IdeaCentre Gaming 5i | Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 | Intel Core i7 12700 | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $899.99 at Best Buy
This is another OEM-style PC, which means it sacrifices the gamer aesthetic and some of the case standards we've become accustomed to. It's not so bad, however, as the actual specifications on this machine, for $899, are enough to win some favour. A really solid spec for 1080p gaming, it's the Intel Core i7 12700 that will make a huge difference if you hope to use this machine for streaming or video editing, too. 

Asus ROG Strix G10 | Nvidia RTX 3060 | Core i5 11400F | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $1,129.99 $922.49 at Amazon (save $207.50)
Granted, you don't get a massive amount of storage space with this one, but at least you get a great CPU/GPU combo for the price. 16GB of RAM should be more than enough for gaming, to be honest, and with this discount you can afford to update your SSD later  down the line.

Dell XPS | Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti | Intel Core i7 12700 | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD + 1TB HDD | $1,649.99 $1,249.99 at Dell (save $400)
Packing some tasty DDR5 RAM, this Dell comes with a great CPU/GPU combo that wont break a sweat at 1440p. The only real let down is the addition of a hard drive. You can always add more SATA or NVMe SSD storage at a later date, otherwise its still a great machine... if you don't mind longer load times.

iBuyPower TraceMR Gaming Desktop | Nvidia RTX 3070 | Intel i7 12700F | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD| $1,449.99 $1,249.99 at Best Buy (save $300)
This iBuyPower gaming PC comes with a solid amount of RAM, an Intel i7 12700F, an Nvidia RTX 3070, and 1TB of NVMe SSD storage. All of this should satisfy the needs of most games right now. This deal is a lovely package and one of the better value battle stations you can pick up today.

Skytech Archangel 3.0 | Nvidia RTX 3070 | Intel i7 12700F | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD| $1,799.99 $1,299.99 at Newegg (save $480)
Here be a fantastic saving on a gaming PC that just wont quit. It's well below the soft cap we set in our guide on how to spot the best gaming PC deals, and it even goes above and beyond with a nice chunk of 1TB SSD storage. Not bad for that price.

HP Omen | AMD RX 6700 XT | AMD Ryzen 7 5700G | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | $1,649.99 $1,299.99 at Best Buy (save $350)
This all AMD offering from HP will put you in a great position for 1440p gaming. It's packing a Ryzen 5000-series processor, meaning you won't be able to swap to Zen 4 so easily, but you won't necessarily need to for a while. Not only do you get a good chunk of storage, you also get 16GB DDR4-3200 which is not bad to top off such strong core specs.

MSI MPG Trident | Nvidia RTX 3070 | Intel Core i7 12700F | 16GB RAM | 1TB NVMe SSD | $2,099.99 $1,549.99 at Newegg (save $550)
A very current machine here that'll deliver the goods at 1080p and even 1440p. That's a great last Gen Intel CPU, and the RTX 3070 has a lot going for it too. 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM isn't bad, either and it's dual channel which is always appreciated. Top that with a full 1TB of NVMe storage and you're onto a winner. 

iBUYPOWER TraceMR | Nvidia RTX 3080 | Intel Core i7 12700KF | 16GB RAM | 1TB NVMe SSD | $1,849.99 $1,649.99 at BestBuy (save $350)
It wasn't long ago that an RTX 3080 alone would have cost you more than this entire PC. Now you can have the whole thing complete with a punchy Intel Core i7-12700KF processor, 16GB and a decent 1TB NVMe SSD. The motherboard is a proper Z690 item and they're even throwing in an RGB keyboard and mouse. It's a very impressive package for the price.

Alienware Aurora R14 | AMD RX 6800 XT | Ryzen 7 5800X | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD + 1TB HDD | $2,399.99 $1,799.99 at Dell (save $600)
It's worth remembering just what a fantastic graphics card the RX 6800 XT is. It's at the same level as the RTX 3080 outside of ray tracing, and generally comes in a lot cheaper. That means this Alienware machine is less expensive than an equivalent Nvidia-powered version, and still comes with 16GB RAM. That 512GB SSD is a bit miserly though, even if it comes with some slow data storage as a backup.

CyberPowerPC Gamer Infinity XLC | RTX 4080 | Core i9 13900K | 32GB RAM | 1TB SSD | $3,219 $2,979 at CyberPowerPC (save $335)
The glorious-looking Hyte Y60 case is the clothing around this high-powered RTX 4080-based machine. Alongside the latest Nvidia card is the most powerful gaming CPU around today in Intel's Raptor Lake Core i9, and 32GB of DDR5-6000 memory. That 1TB SSD is a full PCIe 4.0 option, too, so it's a proper speedy drive. There's also a 1,000W PSU with a 16-pin power connector, so hopefully less chance of an adapter melting your rig...

CyberPowerPC Battlebox 2022 Ultimate | RTX 4080 | Ryzen 9 7900X | 32GB RAM | 1TB SSD | $3,329 $2,949 at CyberPowerPC (save $380)
Here comes another 4080-based machine. Alongside the latest Nvidia card is a fantastic CPU offering from the red team, and 32GB of DDR5-6000 memory. That 1TB SSD is a full PCIe 4.0 option, which is always appreciated. Time to have a conversation with your bank manager.

Acer Nitro 5 | Nvidia RTX 3060 | AMD Ryzen 5 5600H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | 8GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $798 at Walmart
Even now the hefty discount has expired, the Nitro is still one of the cheapest RTX 3060-based gaming laptops around this Cyber Monday. For this much cash you're usually looking at a GTX 1650 Ti based machine, at best. But here, you get a good 1080p gaming GPU, and a quality AMD Ryzen CPU, too. The 8GB of RAM is a bit weak, but the 144Hz screen goes some way to making up for that slight shortfall.

Gigabyte A7 K1 | Nvidia RTX 3060 | AMD Ryzen 5800H | 17.3-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $999 $879.99 at Newegg (save $119.01)
The Gigabyte cheapo big boi is back on the menu, with Newegg offering us this banging gaming laptop bargain for a delightful $880. You get the bigger screen, but with a 1080p resolution that the RTX 3060 will cope with quite happily. There's also that tasty Ryzen CPU for all your productivity needs, too. A lot of laptop for the money.

Asus ROG Zephyrus 14 | Nvidia RTX 3060 | AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS | 14-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $1,399.99 $899.99 at Best Buy (save $500)
If you don't want a hulking gaming laptop, let me introduce the Zephyrus 14: a 14-incher that can game without busting your bank balance or your shoulder when lugging it around. No-nonsense specs in a delightful package. That $500 saving doesn't hurt either.

MSI Katana GF66 | Nvidia RTX 3060 | Intel Core i7 11800H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $1,349 $899.99 at Amazon (save $449.01)
Dropping below the $900 mark is when you know you've got a good RTX 3060 laptop deal on your hands. It's got all the necessary specs you could want, such as high refresh rate screen, 16GB RAM, and a decent capacity SSD for the money. It's basically bang-on what you'd want to pay for a traditional mainstream gaming laptop.

Asus ROG Strix G15 | AMD RX 6800M | AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX | 15.6-inch | 1440p | 165Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $1,699.99 $1,099.99 at Best Buy (save $600)
This is a genuinely fantastic gaming laptop deal, and you're going to need to hurry because if people have any sense they'll snap this right up. The RX 6800M is AMD's most powerful mobile GPU, and we're talking around RTX 3070 Ti levels of standard gaming prowess. For just $1,100. Throw in a 1440p screen running at 165Hz and you've got one mighty machine.

Gigabyte Aorus 5 SE4 | Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 | Intel Core i7 12700H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 360Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $1,299.99 $1,149.99 at Newegg (save $150)
A new 12th Gen Intel CPU combined with a powerful 130W RTX 3070 for $1,150 is a solid offering. That's especially true since this one's paired with a fantastically speedy 360Hz panel. There's plenty of RAM for your games and the chassis is attractive too.

Gigabyte Aero 16 XE4 | Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti | Intel Core i7 12700H | 15.6-inch | 4K | 16GB DDR4 | 2TB SSD | $1,499.99 $1,309.99 at Newegg (save $190)
This deal isn't quite as hot as it was on Friday, but it's still a good price. For the cost of some RTX 3060 laptops, here you can net an RTX 3070 Ti, a high-end up-to-date Intel CPU, plenty of RAM and storage—all packed into a chassis that we've liked for a long time. It's billed as more of a creator laptop, being an Nvidia Studio laptop, and that's what we've always used these laptops for on-team. Hence the 4K resolution. But you could still game at high-res with the spec it delivers.

Dell G15 Gaming Laptop | Nvidia RTX 3070 | AMD Ryzen 7 6800H | 15.6-inch | 165Hz | 1080p | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | $1,599 $1,349.99 at Dell (save $250)
Here's a very well-rounded gaming laptop that's well worth the money asked for it. The RTX 3070 is a great mobile gaming GPU with the power to make the most of the G15's 165Hz screen. Beyond that, however, you have AMD's excellent Ryzen 7 6800H. That's a chip that's mighty for gaming and multitasking, so this laptop is really well-suited to whatever you want to throw at it.

Legion 5 Gen 7 | Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti | AMD Ryzen 7 6800H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 165Hz | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | $2,199.99 $1,549.99 at Lenovo (save $650)
The mobile take on the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is a beastly GPU that'll chomp through games, especially at this laptop's 1080p native resolution. You'll stand a good chance of hitting that 165Hz refresh rate. You also get a powerful AMD CPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a healthy 1TB NVMe SSD. There are a bunch of ecoupons Lenovo has in place that you can add to the basket, too: use BLACKFRIDAYGAME and HOLIDAYSURPRISE for an extra discount to get it down to $1,450.

MSI GP66 Leopard | Intel Core i7 11800H | Nvidia RTX 3080 | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $1,849 $1,569.99 at Walmart (save $279.01)
It's an old code, sir, but it checks out. That's still an RTX 3080 GPU in there, even if it's plugged into an 11th Gen Intel CPU it'll still game like a hero. The rest of the spec is pretty decent, too, and means you'll have an RTX 3080-based system for less than an RTX 3070 Ti.

Asus Zephyrus G15 | Nvidia RTX 3080 | AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS | 15.6-inch | 1440p | 240Hz | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | $1,999.99 $1,759.99 at Best Buy (save $240)
This is an incredible amount of gaming laptop for the money, and a pretty looking chassis to wrap it all up in. The RTX 3080 obviously gets top billing, but that 1440p 240Hz IPS screen has to get a mention, too. The rest of the spec is pretty standard, though I am pleased it's rocking a full 1TB SSD. The only note of warning is that it can get a little toasty thanks to that thinner chassis, however.

XFX Speedster SWFT 210 RX 6600 | 8GB GDDR6 | 1,792 shaders | 2,491MHz boost | $239.99 $229.99 at B&H (save $10)
Not necessarily a heavily discounted deal, but this is the cheapest live GPU price on a card that we would actually recommend you stick into your gaming PC. It's a quality 1080p card and pretty damned close to the RTX 3060 in terms of standard gaming performance.

PowerColor Fighter RX 6600 | 8GB GDDR6 | 1,792 shaders | 2,491MHz Boost | $259.99 $250 at Amazon (save $9.99)
The RX 6600 wasn't a great card at launch, but you can't ignore it at this price. Frankly you won't find a better deal on any card from the competition that gets anywhere close to this sort of value at this price. If you can't stretch your budget to an RX 6650 XT, this is the way to go for 1080p gaming. 

Gigabyte Gaming OC RX 6650 XT | 8GB GDDR6 | 2,048 shaders | 2,694MHz boost | $304.99 $269.99 at Newegg (save $35 after rebate)
This isn't the cheapest RX 6650 XT we found over Black Friday but it is pretty much the cheapest right now. It is a triple-fan card and runs a little quicker that the others we spotted, too. That's probably not good enough reason alone to spend more, but if stock is all dry elsewhere then this isn't a bad deal by any means. Either way, this is a great 1080p gaming card for under MSRP right now.

XFX Speedster SWFT309 Radeon RX 6700 | 10GB GDDR6 | 2,304 shaders | 2,425MHz boost | $399.99 $309.99 at Best Buy (save $50)
With a larger GPU and more memory to use in game, the RX 6700 is a solid step up from the RX 6650 XT. We tend to see these go for a little more with the XT version, but this non-XT option keeps the price a bit more reasonable while still delivering solid gaming performance for 1080p and 1440p.

Yeston RTX 3080 | 10GB GDDR6X | 8,704 shaders | 1,710MHz boost | $1,099 $769 at Newegg (save $330)
If you're not willing to wait until December, or are willing to pay another $70 just for the artwork alone, this Yeston RTX 3080 isn't a bad price considering where the card has been retailing for the past year or two. In pure raster terms, the RX 6900 XT is cheaper and a bit quicker, but throw in any ray tracing elements and the GeForce card will push ahead.

Aorus FO48U | 48-inch | 4K | OLED | 120Hz | $1,499.99 $779.99 at Newegg (save $720)
If you're looking to go big, check out this Aorus 48-inch OLED 4K 120Hz gaming monitor. Now that a larger model has been announced, this one got another price cut. Indeed, it's been cut even further from $899. Plus it's an OLED, ie. a peak gaming monitor.

Viotek GFI24CBA  | 24-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | $107.99 at Newegg
While this gaming monitor isn't technically a "deal" Viotek's panels have been getting decent reviews, and a touch over $100 for an IPS 144Hz 1080p screen is pretty sweet. At 24-inches across that might seem a little small given today's super-sized panels, but for an entry level gaming screen it's a bargain.

Acer PG241Y | 24-inch | 1080p | VA | 165Hz | $179.99 $119.99 at Amazon (save $60)
Normally retailing for around $150, this is the cheapest we've seen the Acer, and one of the cheapest high refresh rate gaming monitors you'll find this Cyber Monday. As an entry-level 1080p screen this is an excellent price.

MSI Optix G274CV | 27 inch | 1080p | 75Hz | AMD Freesync | Curved | $169.99 $139.99 at Newegg (save $30) With a curved display, 1ms response time, and AMD Freesync technology, MSI's Optix G274CV is a solid all-around display at an entry-level price. 

Dell G2722HS | 27-inch | 1080p | IPS | 165Hz | $279.99 $149.99 at Amazon (save $130)
I love a Dell panel, they pretty much always look fantastic out of the box, and this gaming focused screen ticks all the boxes. Most especially that combo of 1ms IPS and 165Hz refresh rate. Banging. It's also never been cheaper to bag this 27-inch 1080p gamer.

Dell S3222HG | 32-inch | 1080p | 165Hz | $299.99 $199.99 at Amazon (save $100)
Here's an affordable curved gaming monitor that's attractive for more than its good value. It's got a high refresh rate of 165Hz, and at 32-inches it's nice and big too. At 1080p, it's hardly on the cutting edge, but if you've got an older GPU and haven't made the leap to 1440p or 4K gaming, then this might be the screen for you. 

Gigabyte G32QC | 32-inch | 1440p | 165Hz | $369.99 $259.99 (save $110) at Newegg
I'm a big fan of Gigabyte's pared back approach to gaming monitors. Simple, speedy, and nice quality panels. I use two similar Gigabyte models myself at home.

Acer Nitro XZ342CK | 34-inch | 3440 x 1440 | VA | 144Hz | $499.99 $349.99 at Amazon (save $100)
4K gaming monitors aren't necessarily super expensive anymore, but the GPUs that will really allow you to game in 4K at acceptable frame rates still are. For our money, if you want something more expansive than a 1440p panel you need an ultrawide. This VA panel from Acer has the ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio and a high refresh rate to boot. It's also never been cheaper than today. Note that to get the reduced price you'll need to use the "New from" link in the right-hand column, near the bottom of the first page.

Dell S3422DWG | 34-inch | 3440 x 1440 | VA | 144Hz | $499.99 $379.99 at Amazon (save $120)
Another quality ultrawide gaming monitor from Dell, it's a little pricier than the Acer, but it comes with less of a curve if that's an issue for you. The 1800R curve is a lot less aggressive and fits perfectly that 34-inch expanse. 

LG 32GP850-B | 32-inch | 1440p | IPS | 180Hz (OC) | $599.99 $396.99 at Amazon (save $203)
LG is the originator of the IPS panel technology and its 1ms response is about as fast as you're going to see this sort of screen get. And with a potential 180Hz overclock available on this big screen, 1440p display, the LG Ultragear has a lot to offer for the money, and it's only ever been cheaper than this once before.

Acer Nitro XV322QK | 32-inch | 4K | IPS | 144Hz | $1,099.99 $599.99 at Best Buy (save $500)
Obviously, $600 is still a lot of money, but the beauty of spending big on a gaming monitor is that it will likely still be a great screen long after you've moved on from your current gaming PC. And this big screen 4K IPS panel is no exception, with a 1ms response, and the all-important high 144Hz refresh rate. It's not a bargain, but it's a very good price for a big boi screen.

Acer Predator XB271HU | 27-inch | 1440p | IPS | 165Hz (OC) | $469.99 $387 at Amazon (save $82.99)
This is an old monitor now, having launched in 2017, but it's still an outstanding full G-Sync IPS gaming monitor. It was cheaper over Black Friday, but it's still worth a look now as one of our faves.

Samsung Odyssey G5 | 34-inch | 1440p | VA | 165Hz | $549.99 $399.99 at Amazon (save $150)
Confusingly, there are at least two other G5 models. But we think this is the one you want. It's a 21:9, 34-inch ultra-wide bad boy with 165Hz refresh and 1ms response. It's not a fancy HDR model with a mini-LED backlight. But at this price point, that's pretty much a given. 

Hisense ULED U6 Series | 50-inch | 4K | Quantum Dot | 60Hz | $529.99 $367.99 at Amazon (save $162)
This is one of the cheapest 4K TVs you can buy... that you actually might buy. At 50-inches that's a lot of 4K real estate, and the Quantum Dot filter on the screen delivers great colors, but it must be noted that if you're aiming to use this for gaming it's limited to a 60Hz refresh rate. Don't listen to the claims of a 240 Motion Rate. It's not the same as a 240Hz refresh.

Samsung Q60A QLED | 32-inch | 4K | QLED | 60Hz | $499.99 $449.99 at Samsung (save $50)
This QLED TV makes for an excellent second screen for streaming and playing some games at 4K/60FPS. The picture quality also makes it a good TV for an office or bedroom. Yeah, it's a bummer it doesn't support 120Hz at 4K, but it's not too big of a loss if you don't have the hardware to reach those heights.  

LG B2 OLED (OLED55B2PUA) | 55-inch | 4K | OLED | 120Hz | $1,599.99 $996.99 at Walmart (save $603)
A fantastic OLED offering for gamers, with deep blacks, HDMI 2.1, and all the VRR options you could handle. This one offers low input lag and is topped off with a nifty 120Hz refresh rate. Sure, there are higher refresh rate monitors but, a 55-inch gaming OLED TV sounds pretty great as a giant second monitor for that price.

LG C2 OLED (OLED42C2PUA) | 42-inch | 4K | OLED | 120Hz | $1,596.99 $996.99 at Walmart (save $503)
Only the best gaming TV on the planet with a $503 saving right now. Oof. Yeah, this is the real LG OLED deal, and at the 42-inch scale actually makes for an amazing gaming monitor. The HDMI 2.1 makes 4K at 120Hz a reality on PC, and the lightning-fast response of OLED panels makes it glorious for gaming. Yum.

LG C2 OLED (OLED48C2PUA) | 48-inch | 4K | OLED | 120Hz | $1,596.99 $1,046.99 at Walmart (save $550)
Just a bigger version of the best gaming TV around, with a similarly chonky discount. And actually, that means you're getting a 48-inch for just another $50. I don't have to tell you about how lovely OLED screens are, but I'm going to anyways. The colors are stunning and the speed of motion and pixel response are outstanding. With HDMI 2.1 you can jam a PC into it and see 4K resolutions at 120Hz write large.

WD Black SN770 | 1TB | PCIe 4.0 | 5,150MB/s reads | 4,900MB/s writes | $129.99 $82.84 at Amazon (save $47.15)
It may not match the peak performance of the pricier SN850, but this is a great budget option. And a good shout for anyone still stuck on a PCIe 3.0 motherboard but with a yearning for an upgrade soonish. It's a DRAM-less option, but the underlying performance is strong enough for most tasks.

Samsung 980 SSD | 1TB | PCIe 3.0 | 3,500 MB/s reads | 3,000 MB/s writes | $139.99 $79.99 at Amazon (save $60)
For well under $100, you can bag a full 1TB of fast PCIe 3.0 SSD storage. That's plenty of space for a boot drive and a host of your most often-played games. You would have to be a Samsung fan to pick this over the WD Black SN770, but if that goes out of stock, the Samsung 980 is a great backup. Back up. See, SSD deals with humor; we've got it all.

PNY XLR8 CS3140 | 1TB | PCIe 4.0 | 7,500MB/s read | 5,650MB/s writes | $229.99 $99.99 at Amazon (save $130)
PNY has an impressive little NVMe 1TB on sale for $100. It's a fast drive that can also be used inside a PlayStation 5 for an easy storage upgrade. If you're after 2TB of space, though, try the SK Hynix above.

WD_BLACK SN770 | 2TB | PCIe 4.0 | 5,150MB/s read | 4,850MB/s write | $239.99 $179.99 at Best Buy (save $60)
It might get a little warm every now and then, but we were big fans of the SN770 in our review. For a solid, speedy performer at a great price, we can forgive it getting a little hot under the collar every now and then.

WD_BLACK SN850X | 2TB | PCIe 4.0 | 7,300MB/s read | 6,300MB/s write | $334.99 $249.99 at Best Buy (save $85)
The bigger, roomier brother of the 1TB SN850X up above, it offers all the same advantages—running cool and fast without fuss—with double the space. An excellent deal at this price.

Samsung 980 Pro | 1TB | PCIe 4.0 | 7,000MB/s read | 5,000MB/s writes | $129 $109.99 at Amazon (save $21)
The Samsung 980 Pro is one of the classic early PCIe 4.0 SSDs and is still a high performer. The fact it's been outclassed by the 990 Pro in terms of raw speed is one thing, but you'll barely notice that in the real world. And when it's $60-odd cheaper the 980 Pro becomes a stellar drive.

Team Group EX2 | 2.5-inch | 1TB | SATA | $69.99 $56.99 at Newegg (save $13)
We highly recommend you use an NVMe drive in your system, if it has a slot for one. They're generally much faster than a SATA drive such as this. However, if you can't make room or don't have an NVMe slot to begin with, a smart 1TB SSD like this would make a great drive for all your games.

Samsung T7 | 2TB | USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C | 1,050MB/s reads | 1,000MB/s writes | $229.99 $189.99 at Best Buy (save $40)
This pocket-sized external SSD offers solid performance at 1,050MB/s provided you've got an up-to-date USB port to make the most of it. At 2TB, it gives you plenty of room for your data and games too.

Crucial X6 SE| 1TB | USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C | 800MB/s reads | 800MB/s writes | $109.99 $69.99 at Best Buy (save $40)
If you're just looking for a diminutive, cheap external SSD, this little guy might be just the thing. It's a bit slower than the other deals here, and at 1TB you're not going to be throwing all of your big games onto it, but it's extremely portable and under $70.

PNY Pro Elite V2 | 1TB | USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C | 1,000MB/s reads | 1,000MB/s writes | $114.99 $84.99 at Amazon (save $30)
If absolute portability is what you're looking for, then the Pro Elite V2 is the portable SSD for you. This business card-sized external drive is speedy and, more importantly, is less than $100, which is a great price for a reliable 1TB drive.  

WD My Passport| 2TB | USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C | 1050MB/s reads | 1000MB/s writes | $379.99 $149.99 at Amazon (save $230)
A speedy little external SSD with a very nice discount, the WD My Passport also benefits from additional layers of security, letting you password-protect and encrypt your data. If you're clumsy, then there's more good news, as it's shock and vibration resistant and can be dropped from up to 6.5 feet. 

Samsung T7 Shield Portable | 2TB | USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C | 1,050MB/s reads | 1,000MB/s writes | $249.99 $149.99 at Best Buy (save $100)
The Samsung T7 Shield is the more rugged, better-looking cousin of the T7 Portable SSD. It gives you the same performance as the T7, but it's rated IP65. This means it can withstand more elements than your typical external SSD and won't break if it gets a little wet. 

Noblechairs Epic (epic black) | 4D armrests | PU leather | $499 $299 at Noblechairs (save $200)
Noblechairs has a handful of key designs for its gaming chairs: the Epic, the Hero, and the Icon. Our favourite is probably the Hero, but we've rested our rears on all three and they're all very close to one another in terms of comfort and style. It's hard to pass up the Epic at this price, anyways. The black and copper color is now out of stock, but you can still find the black and black/red versions at this price.
