Newegg is having a big sale today and tomorrow, obviously coinciding with Amazon Prime Day (opens in new tab). And while only a minuscule fraction of the 50,000-plus things on sale over at Amazon are relevant to PC gamers, Newegg's inventory has a good bit of solid deals. 

The full "Fantastech" sale starts at 12:00 PDT, but pre-sale deals are already starting to unlock, and we'll be updating this post throughout the day as more deals come online. Here are all the Fantastech deals (opens in new tab), and here's the best stuff we've found so far:
