The Vector 16 HX AI is usually the cheapest RTX 5070 Ti laptop out there, but this non-AI-branded version with a seriously powerful CPU is now outrageously good value for the components you receive. Sitting somewhere under the RTX 5080 and well above the RTX 5070 in terms of gaming performance, the RTX 5070 Ti is a great upper mid-range laptop GPU. Plus the CPU, while being one of AMD's last gen models, is a 16-core 32-thread monster. In short, it's an absolute beast for the cash.

The TC100 is our favorite affordable gaming chair right now, following up on the popular T3 Rush with a great look and genuine comfort. You can read more in our review. It's a truly excellent gaming chair that's cheaper than most of its competition.

Though not the most spacious SSD, it's still hard to beat on value alone. Add to that the fact that this DRAM-less drive is well-suited for stashing your operating system alongside a few games from your ever-growing Steam backlog, and that price makes sense.

Ah, I've got a particular hankering for this machine, as the Asus TUF chassis designs are much better these days, and the components you get for the cash are downright impressive. This one's got a 115 W RTX 5070 in combination with an eight-core 16-thread AMD chip and 32 GB of DDR5, which is a bit of a holy trinity of laptop components. The display might not be the highest resolution at 1200p, but it also shouldn't tax that GPU too hard when making the most of its 165 Hz refresh rate. Yep, this is a seriously good laptop spec, now at a very attractive price.

Ah, what a beauty. This 32-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor is the sort of thing dreams are made of, thanks to its excellent color reproduction, superb contrast, and sheer size. A good 32-inch display is a wonderful thing to game on, and this is certainly one of those. Plus, being a 165 Hz refresh rate model, it's a lot cheaper than the 240 Hz equivalent. In fact, this is the cheapest we've found this screen for to date, making it a mega deal worth some serious consideration.

Who said you can't get decent gaming performance for cheap in 2025? This RX 9060 XT gaming PC is here to put an end to such thoughts, because for just $850 you're getting a build with a current-gen GPU that trades blows with the RTX 5060 Ti. Sure, you're getting an older CPU and 1 TB SSD, but this is a seriously great entry into PC gaming. You can upgrade everything else and keep that 9060 XT in there down the line if you need to start using this rig for productivity tasks.

Key specs: Ryzen 5 5600X | RX 9060 XT 8 GB | 32 GB DDR4 | 1 TB SSD

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 it is better for those of you who prefer an IPS panel to a VA.

Key specs: 27-inch | 180 Hz | 0.5 ms | IPS

Price check: Acer $199.99

Though it doesn't quite look as impressive as the Superlight 2, the G Pro 2 Lightspeed matches the same internals and is truly ambidextrous, thanks to swappable side buttons. Both the black and white variants are down to $100, but the pink version will set you back $135.

Key specs: 44,000 DPI | 888 IPS | 88g accelerations | 4 side buttons

The 16 GB version of the RX 9060 XT isn't quite as fast as the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB card when ray tracing is involved, but outside of that, it's generally on par. You don't get as good an upscaling and frame generation system as with the Nvidia GPU, though. On the plus side, it is $50 cheaper, and that counts for a lot these days.

Key specs: 2048 shaders | 3230 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR6

The RX 9070 is one of AMD's better GPUs for many years and is not that much slower than the XT version. It's been so popular that it's taken months for the price to drop to anywhere near AMD's MSRP. More expensive than the RTX 5070, but it's a faster card all round.

Key specs: 3584 shaders | 2520 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR6

Finding an RTX 5080 rig for less than $2,000 is very rare right now, and Alienware knows how to put together a good gaming PC. What's even more surprising is that, despite memory shortages, you can upgrade to 32 GB of RAM for $100 (which I've done here), and you can double the storage entirely for free. Well, for the base price of the rig, but the upgrade costs nothing. You will have to configure this yourself, but the below specs will get you to the impressively low price target.

Well-priced, powerful, and wireless, VR makes a strong first impression via the Meta Quest 3S. Though I wish the battery life would last just a little bit longer, and it uses the older Quest 2-style optics, access to all of the games previously exclusive to the $500 Meta Quest 3 for half the price is nothing to sniff at.
