Prime Day gaming deals live - it's Prime week, people, so strap in for five days of me trying to find a way to beat the RAMpocalypse with some actual discounts

The past two decades of being a PC hardware journalist has brought me here.

Oh, hello there, Prime Week. Because one day obviously could not contain the amount of deals that happen on Prime Day, it is now four days long. In fact, as all the other retailers have already gone live with their own Prime Day PC gaming deals, it's all happening now. The Amazon stuff actually kicks off on June 23 thru June 26, but honestly, the best PC gaming deals have long come from retailers such as Newegg, Best Buy, and Walmart always pops up with one or two actually stellar offers over these sales events.

We've already seen some great deals pop up, and I'm most taken with the Acer Nitro V 16S, with an RTX 5070 for under $1,000. That's the first time I've seen a gaming laptop getting under that price probably since Black Friday last year. But there are other laptops and gaming PCs with genuinely good discounts, as well as some great peripherals deals, too.

We've obviously got our main Prime Day hub for all the best PC gaming deals, where we'll house all the best kit we've found for the best prices, but I'm also going to be keeping this page updated throughout the week to bring you my absolute favorite deals.

In his time he's tested every type of PC component, peripheral, and accessory you can imagine, and probably some you can't. That makes him perfectly placed to recommend the best deals, and the ones you need to steer clear of this Prime Day.

Prime Day top deals

Save $300
1. Acer Nitro V 16S | RTX 5070 (85 W): was $1,299.99 now $999.99 at Best Buy

In these RAMpocalypse-infested times, you have to sacrifice something to get a good gaming laptop at an affordable price, and in this case, it's the GPU's power limit—just 85 W, which lowers the chip's full capabilities. At least everything else is nice for the money, and it's plenty skinny. This is the cheapest RTX 5070 machine I can find right now I'd buy with my own cash, and a pretty sweet deal when most of the competition is ranging around the $1,500 mark.

Key specs: RTX 5070 (85 W) | Ryzen 7 260 | 16-inch | 2880 x 1620 | 165 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 512 GB SSD

2. Stormcraft Sirius | RTX 5060: was $1,099.99 now $899.99 at Newegg

This is about as entry-level as I'd go before considering ditching the discrete GPU altogether for a cheaper build with a good iGPU. That's primarily because you're only getting 16 GB of DDR4 RAM here. But for this price, it's fantastic value and a great entry into PC gaming.

3. MSI Pro MP243L: was $109.99 now $74 at Amazon

Though not called a gaming monitor, this MSI Pro panel has what you'd want out of it, with a 144 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time. It's the cheapest 1080p monitor we'd actually recommend and has some decent stats to boot.

Key specs: 24-inch | 144 Hz | 1 ms | IPS

RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB MSRP: $379
Save $60
4. PNY RTX 5060 Ti | 8 GB: was $429.99 now $369.99 at Amazon

The 8 GB version of the new RTX 5060 Ti is a lot cheaper than the 16 GB one, and while the extra VRAM will be useful in the future, it's absolutely not worth paying $200 more for it, despite the clear benefits. This is a great little GPU for the money.

Key specs: 4608 shaders | 2692 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR7

RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB price check: Best Buy $369.99 | Walmart $379.99 | Newegg $389.99 | B&H $394.99

5. MSI Vector 16 HX AI | RTX 5070 Ti (140 W): was $1,999 now $1,699 at Newegg

I'm a big fan of this mildly anachronistic gaming laptop. It's thick, can be loud, but it delivers on gaming performance and does so for an affordable price tag. The RTX 5070 Ti at its heart is a quality 12 GB mobile GPU, has a 140 W power limit, and if you run it on balanced mode you'll still get good gaming performance on the 1200p screen but without the turbine whine of the fans. A great machine at a great price. I'd prefer more RAM and storage, but if it's gaming performance that's your priority, this will deliver.

Key specs: RTX 5070 Ti (140 W) | Core Ultra 7 255HX | 16-inch | 1200p | 144 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 512 GB SSD

6. Thermaltake LCGS NE | RTX 5070: was $1,799.99 now $1,399.99 at Newegg

This gaming PC has definitely got the coolness factor—and I'm not just talking about Thermaltake's track record when it comes to managing airflow. Inside the crisp white case, you'll spy not just an RTX 5070 but also a budget Intel Core i5 14400F CPU which offers plenty of bang for your buck.

7. MSI MAG 275UPD: was $309.99 now $249.99 at Newegg

It doesn't get much better than this, folks. A 4K, 27-inch gaming monitor for under $250. It's an IPS panel with a 1 ms response time and is what's known as a dual mode monitor. That means it runs at both 4K/144 Hz and 1080p/288 Hz. Perfect for blending both competitive gaming and immersive single-player gaming.

8. Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 | RTX 5080 (175 W): was $3,499 now $2,549 at BHPhoto

Our best high-performance gaming laptop pick features a monstrous collection of components. The RTX 5080 is a full-strength 175 W variant, the panel is a 240 Hz OLED stunner, the Intel CPU is mega, and as our Dave found in his review, the gaming performance is simply excellent. It's one of the fastest laptops we've tested to date, yet comes wrapped in a chassis you'd actually want to show off—although it must be said, it's a pretty sizeable machine to lug around. Expensive, too, but at least it's about as fast as it gets.

Key specs: RTX 5080 | Core Ultra 9 275HX | 16-inch | 240 Hz OLED | 1600p | 32 GB DDR5 | 2 TB SSD

Price check: Lenovo $3,199.99

RX 9070 GRE MSRP: $549
9. Gigabyte RX 9070 GRE | 12 GB: $549.99 at Amazon

The RX 9070 GRE is the latest entry in AMD's RX 9000-series, and for the money, you're getting a great mid-range graphics card. If it stays at this price, then it will be the sensible choice over the RTX 5060 Ti. Let's hope that there's enough supply, as stocks are already looking a bit thin.

Key specs: 3072 shaders | 2920 MHz boost | 12 GB GDDR6

RX 9070 GRE price check: Best Buy $549.99 | Newegg $549.99 | Walmart $549.99

10. MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED: was $829.99 now $759.99 at Amazon

Big, bold, and beautiful. MSI's MPG 321URX isn't just some expensive monitor for gaming; it's a genuinely fantastic display that's great for work and play. If you want to step up into the world of 4K OLED, stop right here and just buy this screen. We don't rate this the best gaming monitor for nothing, you know.

Gaming monitors stand a good chance of being the best Prime Day deals for PC gamers looking to upgrade their setups. That's because the rapid rise of OLED as the king of gaming panel technology (okay, I'm not talking to you pro gamers with a tight grip on your TN panels) has pushed prices down on still great IPS and VA screens. We've also had OLED technology rapidly evolving to the point where new generation panels come out and the prices drop on the older ones.

Which is what's happening here, where you can now get an OLED screen we would have once gone giddy over costing twice this is now utterly affordable. Who says everything is getting more expensive?

Acer Predator X27U Z1bmiiprx: was $549.99 now $379.99 at Newegg

Both 1440p and OLED, this 27-inch monitor from Acer has almost everything you may want to pair with your rig. It's even better now that it's $170 off, making it the cheapest OLED on our entire list right now. To top it off, it comes with a 240 Hz refresh rate, up to 0.01 ms response time, and a solid selection of ports with one DisplayPort and two HDMI.

An Andromeda Insights AMD Spectra gaming PC on a custom PC Gamer Prime Day background.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the glass cannon PC. Well, actually Dr. Fox found it, and it's actually not entirely a glass cannon, because while it is entirely specced out to do one thing very well—namely gaming—it will still be a very capable PC otherwise. The six-core, 12-thread AMD CPU is still solid, and though 16 GB of DDR5 isn't going to win any multitasking awards, you're not going to be utterly hobbled by it, either.

Save $300
Andromeda Insights AMD Spectra | RX 9070 XT: was $1,799.99 now $1,499.99 at Newegg

For the price, this is as high-end of a rig as I've seen in quite a while. Sure, it's a little bit of a glass cannon as it's only rocking 16 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU, but that 9070 XT is definitely high-end, making this build great for gaming. You'll have to keep your library relatively light, and your background apps closed, but you'll then be able to churn through frames.

Key specs: Ryzen 5 9600X | RX 9070 XT | 16 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD

Team Group T-Force Vulcan: was $239.99 now $199.99 at Newegg

With few processor upgrades now worth considering on DDR4 motherboards, building a long-lasting PC right now means choosing a set of DDR5. This kit from Team Group is obviously pricey, but still the cheapest around. Use promo code FTTF4657 to get the full discount.

Patriot Viper Venom: was $394.99 now $349.99 at Newegg

Yes, this is a silly amount of money for something that cost a fraction of this price not that long ago, but there's no escaping the RAMpocalypse. But if you are determined to have 32 GB of fast DDR5 in your gaming PC, then this is the cheapest kit around. Use promo code FTTF359 to get the full discount.

Our top tips for buying a gaming laptop this Prime Day - YouTube Our top tips for buying a gaming laptop this Prime Day - YouTube
Watch On

If you want any help figuring out how to pick yourself a great deal this Prime Day, I've put together a bunch of videos over on our YouTube channel to try and give you some help. I've picked specific product categories, such as gaming laptops, so have a look and see what you think. And please, share any tips or deals you guys have found in the comments below.

For so long we've been recommending either the Microsoft or Sony first-party controllers as the best pads for PC gaming. They're affordable, they're well-built, and they're good. But they're also old now, and controller technology has moved on to the point where things like TMR stick and Hall effect triggers aren't just the preserve of pro pads. And you can now get them in great controllers that can cost just $64 like this GameSir pad that won itself an Editor's Pick award when we reviewed it.

Save $16
GameSir G7 Pro Tri-Mode: was $79.99 now $63.99 at Best Buy

Our current pick for the best PC controller right now, the GameSir G7 Pro is only slightly pricier than a standard Xbox controller but feels and looks nearly identical, and comes with TMR sticks, tactile switches, and a charging dock to keep it topped up and looking pretty on a shelf. This is the lowest we've seen this controller at, and it was already reasonably priced at MSRP.

Key specs: TMR joysticks | 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, Wired | Asymmetric | 272 g

Acer Nitro V 16S gaming laptop on a Prime Day background

(Image credit: Acer)

Yeah, I think this might just already be the best Prime Day gaming laptop deal I'll find all week. Which is kinda funny considering that actually Prime Day hasn't really started yet. Considering I've been struggling to find an RTX 5060-based gaming laptop that's actually close to this price should tell you that this RTX 5070 machine is genuine bargain right now.

Save $300
Acer Nitro V 16S | RTX 5070 (85 W): was $1,299.99 now $999.99 at Best Buy
