Best Memorial Day PC gaming deals in 2024

Steam Deck (original) | 256GB SSD | Refurbished | $399 at Steam
Okay, the Steam Deck may have had an OLED refresh but the original version is still the archetype of what a mobile PC gaming device should be. It's just as powerful as the most recent model so all those Steam Deck compatible games should run well. It's also well worth considering picking up a storage upgrade like the 1TB Lexar Play for extra capacity on the cheap. Still, It's the OG PC gaming handheld, and it demands respect.

Dell G15 | RTX 4050 | Ryzen 7 7840HS | 15-inch | 1080p | 165 Hz | 16GB DDR5-4800 | 512GB SSD | $1,049.99 $749.99 at Dell (save $250)
Dell's angular chassis definitely feels like it's had some Alienware influence on it, but it is quite a bezel-happy thing. Still, you are getting a decent spec for a decent sub-$800 price. That includes an RTX 4050 that will certainly do a job with the 1080p display. But it's a slick 165 Hz panel, and you're getting a full 16GB of dual-channel DDR5, though only a 512GB SSD. Overall, it's a smart little package of laptop goodness.

Yeyian Yumi  | Core i5 12400F | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 16GB DDR4-3200 | 1TB SSD | $1,199.99 $799 at Newegg (save $400)
The Yumi is a bit of a classic when it comes to gaming PC deals, as it's always there or thereabouts. At the moment this is the cheapest RTX 4060-based PC we've found, and comes with a supporting spec that is absolutely solid, even if it's not the latest and greatest. The combo of Alder Lake Core i5 and DDR4 memory means you still get the capacity, and a healthy core count, but without the expense of the very latest hybrid Intel chips or pricier DDR5 memory. And gaming performance will vary very little.

Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQA1A | 27-inch | 1440p | VA | $199.99 at Newegg
For the budget-conscious gamer, Asus makes a mean gaming monitor. This screen may be on the cheaper side, even costing less than some 1080p panels, yet it delivers 1440p res gaming with a 170Hz refresh rate (overclocked). Not too shabby.

MSI RTX 4060 | 8GB GDDR6 | 3,072 shaders | 2,490 MHz | $293 at Walmart
If you must have Ada Lovelace, Nvidia's latest gaming architecture, the cheapest way in is this RTX 4060. Faster than the RTX 3060 but the price suggests it should have been better. You do get the full DLSS 3.5 suite, though, and it's pretty decent at encoding video for streaming.

XFX Radeon RX 7900 GRE | 16GB GDDR6 | 5,120 shaders | 2,333 MHz boost | $549.99 $540.99 at Best Buy (save $9)
The RX 7900 XT is one of the more recent releases out of AMD, at least in the global market. It started out as a special edition for the Chinese gaming market, but it was rolled out globally to help the red team compete with the green guys. It's a good deal, too, being big chunks of the RX 7900 XT but with a bit less of everything. It's pretty much MSRP everywhere, but occasionally dips under with a small discount.

Acer Predator 14 | RTX 4070 | Core i7 13700H | 14-inch | 250Hz | 1600p | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | $1,999.99 $1,299.99 at Amazon (save $700)
It's not the prettiest gaming laptop you'll ever see but underneath the cheap-looking exterior is a pile of really nice hardware. That Intel CPU has 14 cores, 20 threads, and the GPU is a 140W RTX 4070. Backing them up are 16GB of DDR5 RAM and, unusually for this price, a full 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD. Even the 2560 x 1600 screen is good, with a 250Hz refresh rate and mini-LED backlighting. There's very little to dislike here and it'll be down to whether the lightweight nature or 14-inch panel just aren't right for you.

MSI G321CU | 32-inch | 4K | 144Hz | VA | $419.99 at Amazon
Sub $500 4K 32-inch high refresh monitors have remained frustratingly rare. But here's one at Amazon from MSI for $420! Arguably, 4K makes more sense in the larger 32-inch format than, say, 27 inches. Inevitably, this is a VA not IPS model. But it's still rated at 1ms so the response should be at least reasonable.

Alienware 34 AW3423DWF | 34-inch | 165Hz | QD-OLED | $799 at Dell
Alienware's fancy QD-OLED panel is still one of the best OLED gaming monitor deals. Think of it as a long term investment that will make every single gaming session pop. Once you've experienced per-pixel OLED-style lighting, you won't want to go back to LCD tech. You can read our Alienware QD-OLED review for more.

Acer Predator Helios 16 | RTX 4080 | Core i9 13900HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 240 Hz | 32GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | $2,299 $1,799 at B&H Photo (save $500)
Acer's Helios 16 has proved one of our favorite 16-inch gaming laptops of the last generation, and this RTX 4080-powered device is a great price at around the $2,000 mark. Sadly, this isn't the mini-LED version we loved so well in our review, but it's still got a great IPS panel that is able to hit pretty high brightness levels and at a great refresh rate, too.

ASRock RX 6600 | 8GB GDDR6 | 1,792 shaders | 2,491 MHz | $199.99 $189.99 at Newegg (save $10)
The RX 6600 is a quality 1080p GPU now that its price properly reflects its status. At the sub-$200 point, we're getting a budget graphics card that delivers high frame rates in the latest games at top 1080p graphics presets. PC gaming doesn't have to cost a fortune, you know?

ASRock Challenge Arc A750 | 8GB GDDR6 | 3,584 shaders | 2,400 MHz boost| $199.99 at Newegg
The Intel discrete graphics cards have only gotten more relevant since their inauspicious launch. With successive driver releases increasing performance and now a significant price drop, the A750 is now one of the most tempting budget GPUs around. It's a bit more power hungry than AMD's RX 6600 but is a super capable 1080p card knocking both RTX 3050 and RTX 3060 out of the value GPU stakes.

XFX Speedster SWFT210 RX 6650 XT | 8GB GDDR6 | 2,048 shaders | 2,635 MHz boost | $239.99 $219.99 at Newegg (save $20)
With stock of the RX 6600 XT starting to dwindle it seems like the faster RX 6650 XT is taking its place as one of the best budget GPUs around. It's an 8GB GPU, with effectively the same core specs as the RX 6600 XT, but with a little higher clock speed boost.

XFX RX 7600 | 8GB GDDR6 | 2,048 shaders | 2,755 MHz | $259.99 at Newegg
As the budget baby of the RDNA 3 family, the RX 7600 faces a lot of competition. Not just from Intel and Nvidia, but from AMD's previous generation of cards too. At this price, though, its quite a bit cheaper than the RX 6700 XT and in some games, it performs nearly as well. Not the most exciting of graphics cards, though.

ASRock Challenger Arc A770 | 16GB GDDR6 | 4,096 shaders | $279.99 at Newegg
You can score a whole heap of memory here for under $300. Admittedly, the rest of the Intel card isn't quite up to par with the competition from AMD and Nvidia in terms of consistency of performance. But if you need lots of memory for other reasons, this is the way to go.

MSI RTX 4060 | 8GB GDDR6 | 3,072 shaders | 2,490 MHz | $314.99 $293 at Newegg (save $21.99)

Coming in at the same price as the plain ol' RX 6700 XT (which happens infrequently), this version comes with higher core and memory clocks. That generally makes for higher frame rates in games, though that does depend on what you're playing. It's worth a look, especially for all that speedy VRAM.

XFX SPEEDSTER RX 6800 | 16GB GDDR6 | 3840 shaders | 2,190 MHz boost | $359.99 at Walmart
This graphic card was launched over three years ago but it's still very potent, especially if you're after at ultra-high fps in 1080p shooter games. It has bags of VRAM on a wide memory bus, backed up with mountains of cache. Makes the 8GB GPUs look miserly in comparison.

ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 7700 XT | 12GB GDDR6 | 3072 shaders | 2,584 MHz boost | $399.99 $379.99 at Newegg (save $20)
The Radeon RX 7700 XT might lose out to its bigger brother, but if you're building a system on a budget it still makes a great mid-range card for solid 1440p gaming, as we found in our review of the Sapphire model. This one's also a nice solid triple fan design, so should run cool and quiet.

ASRock RX 7800 XT| 16GB GDDR6 | 3,840 shaders | 2,475 MHz boost | $519.99 $479.99 at Newegg (save $40)
At this price point, the best card to get used to be the 6800 XT but now we're starting to see deals like this one, where the newer 7800 XT has the same price tag. It's only a little bit faster than the card it's replaced, and admittedly it's pretty much at MSRP, but you're still getting a lotta GPU for the money.

Galax RTX 4070 | 12GB GDDR6X | 5,888 shaders | 2,490 MHz boost | $699.99 $529.97 at Amazon (save $170.02)
The RTX 4070 is a popular card and can be difficult to find at discount, but it's important to remember that this price is cheaper than it was at launch. You're getting nearly RTX 3080 performance but with all those nice RTX 40 features. This Galax model uses the traditional 8-pin PCIe power connector, rather than the new 12VHPWR one, which makes it far easier to install as an upgrade.

Zotac RTX 4070 Super | 12GB GDDR6X | 7,1688 shaders | 2,475 MHz boost | $589.99 at Newegg
The RTX 4070 Super has only just launched, so you won't see any discounts for a good while yet. Is it worth $50 more than the regular RTX 4070 and $100 more than the RX 7800 XT? Tricky to answer, so check out the benchmarks in our RTX 4070 Super review to see if it's the right choice for you. There's little else to choose from at this price, but at least you can get them at MSRP.

Sapphire RX 7900 XT | 20GB GDDR6 | 5,376 shaders | 2,450 MHz boost | $699.99 at Newegg
Seeing a bunch of RX 7900 XTs selling for well less than the original MSRP is a welcome sight, and while they might get overshadowed by some of Nvidia's greatest, they deliver a huge amount of performance. What we like about the ASRock in particular is that it should run quieter than your average RX 7900 XT. We all could do with a little less noise from our PC.

Zotac RTX 4070 Ti Super | 16GB GDDR6X | 8,448 shaders | 2,610 MHz boost | $799.99 $789.99 at Newegg (save $10)
Just like the RTX 4070 Super, the RTX 4070 Ti Super is a new model, so discounts aren't to be found anywhere yet. Just think of it as an RTX 4070 Ti selling at its original MSRP, but with more VRAM and a small, but handy, performance boost. This Zotac model is as solid as they come and you really shouldn't be paying more than this price for any other version.

Sapphire RX 7900 XTX | 24GB GDDR6 | 6144 shaders | 2,615 MHz boost | $929 at Newegg
Just like with the RTX 4080, it's hard to find AMD's RX 7900 XTX discounted down below its MSRP price. But good deals can be found and we'll happily take any money knocked off the price of a high-end GPU. The Radeon RX 7900 XTX is stupidly fast and there are plenty of good cooling designs for this card, including this one.

PNY RTX 4080 Super | 16GB GDDR6 | 10,240 CUDA Cores | 2,565 MHz boost | $999.99 at Walmart
While Nvidia's replacement for the RTX 4080 is only a little bit faster, the MSRP of the RTX 4080 Super is a fair bit lower at $999. We've found just one card at that sorta price today, however. That's this PNY, which should be a pretty cool and quiet card.

RTX 4090 pricing is still silly money, but at least with this card you're getting MSRP-like prices, and it's a chonky , slightly overclocked edition, too. What with all the export ban nonsense, the RTX 4090 was way up over $2,000 for a time. Now it's back down to something vaguely sane. And it's still by far the fastest graphics card on the planet. Or off it, for that matter.

NXS gaming desktop | AMD Ryzen 5 5600G | 16GB DDR4-3600 | 512GB NVMe SSD | $419 at Newegg
You can game on this machine to a certain extent—the integrated Vega GPU on the Ryzen chip will certainly support 720p gaming at lower settings. But we're listing it here as a good base from which to add your own graphics card for a quick new gaming PC on a tight budget. The AMD CPU is a good six-core, 12-thread job, and the 16GB RAM will run everything you need.
