It's the October Prime Day! That means we're inundated with deals direct from Bezos himself, probably floating somewhere near Earth's fourth Lagrange point. And with such immense purchasing power, surely no other retailer on the planet can match his deals?!
Except no. We've already seen how the best graphics card deals can be found elsewhere this Big Deals Day, and the same is certainly true of the best gaming PC deals, too.
Realistically, Newegg has the heaviest volume of gaming PC deals, but Walmart has the greatest number of gaming PCs that we would actually want to spend our money on. That's because they are generally offering the cheapest option in a bunch of different performance tiers, or offer the perfect CPU/GPU combination when it comes to price and performance.

There's an immediate component you will want to upgrade when you can afford to spend another little bit of cash on your new rig, and that's the memory. It's not that 16 GB of DDR5-5200 RAM is that bad, it's just that it's a single channel config, which immediately halves the available memory bandwidth compared with using two 8 GB modules instead. It's a frustratingly cheap move, but honestly won't hugely impact your gaming performance with this otherwise very effective, and super affordable RTX 5070-based gaming PC. The Core i5 chip is fine for gaming, but won't set the world alight in terms of content creation, and the 12 GB RTX 5070 makes for a fine ~$1,000 gaming rig.
The RTX 5070 Ti was my favorite of the RTX Blackwell series of graphics cards when it was released, and was only mildly tarnished by the RX 9070 XT undercutting it in terms of pricing. But only when the pricing of AMD's competing card was better than it's own launch-window failures. Combined with the oldie-but-goodie Core i7 14700F CPU, 32 GB DDR5 memory, and a healthy 2 TB SSD, you're getting a hell of a good gaming PC for the money right here.
This CyberPowerPC system is another RTX 5070 Ti gaming rig, with the same 32 GB of memory and a 2 TB SSD, but this time it comes with a different CPU. And what a CPU. It's worth that extra money if you're aiming to get the highest gaming performance out of the Nvidia GPU, because the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best gaming CPU you can buy today, and makes for a perfect match with the RTX 5070 Ti. This is a quite beautifully specced machine.
This is another Acer Nitro 60 gaming PC from Walmart, but this time we're looking at one of the most affordable RTX 5080 machines we've seen this year. With a $1,001 discount you would certainly hope it would be. Now that it's down at this sub-$2,000 price point it feels like a smartly balanced spec, using an older 12-core AMD Ryzen CPU from the Zen 4 school. But you are also getting a full 64 GB of DDR5 memory and a 2 TB SSD as back up. This is a lot of PC for the money, people.
