We're big fans of this little budget gaming laptop, and our Jacob loved its "great gaming performance" (check out our review). With over £200 off the original price that makes this powerful notebook a great deal today.

AOC Q27G2E/BK | 27-inch | 1440p | VA | 155Hz | £219.99 £194.97 at Amazon (save £20.02)
Besides this monitor's significant bezels, there's a lot to like here. It's a bit old fashioned looking, but all the important specs are here: 1440p, 155Hz, FreeSync compatible. It's in a sweet spot for gaming and it's made by a manufacturer we trust with budget screens.

AlphaSync Diamond V2 | AMD Ryzen 5 5600X | Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti | 16GB DDR4-3600 | Kingston 500GB Gen4 SSD | £999.99 at Ebuyer
When we've been struggling to find RTX 3060 machines for less than a grand in recent times, it's great to find a genuine RTX 4060 Ti retailing for just £999.99 today. That 500GB SSD is a shame, but with prices of storage being so low, a 1TB upgrade would only take this machine just over the £1,000 mark anyways. And the rest of the spec, including the last-gen six-core, 12-thread AMD CPU, still stack up.

Ultra 55 | Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti | AMD Ryzen 5 5500 | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | £1,249 £879 at Cyberpower PC (save £370)
Combine MSI's RTX 3060 Ti with the Ryzen 5 5500, and while you may struggle at 4K, you can bet this is a great config for gaming at 1440p. It comes with a 1TB Solidigm P41 Plus NVMe SSD, too, so there is lots of storage to play around with, though it's not the speediest. 16GB of DDR4 RAM never goes amiss, either.

Horizon Thunder | AMD Ryzen 5 5600X | Nvidia RTX 4070 | 16GB DDR4-3200 | Kingston 500GB SSD | £1,099.99 (£999.99 without Windows 11) at CCL
RTX 3080 gaming performance in a full PC for less than £1,000? That was a fever dream this time last year, and yet here we have this RTX 4070-based rig offering exactly that. The last-gen AMD CPU and 500GB SSD are the compromise you have to swallow to hit this price point, but the 5600X is still a great 6-core CPU, and SSD upgrades are super cheap right now, too.

Chillblast Light Side Survivor |AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | Nvidia RTX 4080 | 32GB DDR5-5600 | 1TB Samsung 980 Pro SSD | £2,993.99 (£2,893.99 without Windows 11) at CCL
I'm a card carrying Star Wars nerd, so Chillblast's themed machine is very much in my wheelhouse, and there's a Dark Side equivalent for the same price, too. I'm also a big fan of the 7800X3D CPU from AMD, one I've called "the best gaming processor AMD has ever produced," and when paired with the RTX 4080 makes for an outstanding gaming combo. And, for once, the rest of the supporting components are good, too.

Intel Arc A750 | 8GB | 28 Xe Cores | 2,050MHz | $289 £239.99 at Overclockers (save £50)
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.

MSI GF63 Thin | Nvidia RTX 4050 | Intel Core i5 12450H | 15.6-inch | 144Hz | 1080p | 8GB RAM | 512GB SSD | £1,199 £799.99 at Amazon (save £399.01 Prime Exclusive)
Not the most up to date spec here, though that CPU is only a last-gen offering. It's backed up nicely with a 40-series GPU. It might struggle doing too much at once with only 8GB of RAM, but you should be able to hit framerates that'll make the most of that 144Hz panel at its native 1080p resolution.

If you want a higher-end GPU in a laptop in the UK, you have to be prepared to pay a bit more for it. This is a great chassis and overall impressively built machine, at least, and at close to £2,000, it's a little cheaper than most with an RTX 4070 inside.

Ultra 55 | Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti | AMD Ryzen 5 5500 | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | £1,249 £879 at Cyberpower PC (save £370)

With an old Intel CPU, and a weak 500GB SSD, this AlphaSync machine looks a little bit low spec... until you hit the graphics card. Sure, you need a little balance in your life, but that old 11th Gen CPU will keep the RTX 4070 supplied with data and deliver great gaming performance for the money. Upgrading the SSD is super easy, though if you find you want to do more productivity stuff, that CPU platform might hold you back. Me, well, I'm running an RTX 4090 on a 10th Gen chip, and you don't hear me complaining ;)

Horizon Lightning | Intel Core i5 12400F | Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti | 16GB DDR4-3200 | 1TB SSD | £1,599.99 at CCL (£1,499.99 without Windows 11)
This is a great price for a new machine with an RTX 4070 Ti built into it. That's down to the last-gen and lower spec Core i5 Intel processor and DDR4 memory that the Horizon supports. Still, that chip will deliver great gaming performance, and there's a decent supporting spec to go along with it.

3XS SP4070TIR5 | RTX 4070 Ti | Ryzen 5 5600 | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | £1,599.98 at Scan
Stretching your budget a little can get you a PC with a current-gen graphics card, and while you'll have to compromise a little with an older CPU and DDR4 RAM, this is still a great high-end machine for the price. That's a 1TB Samsung 980 in there, too, which is still one of our favourite SSDs for gaming. 

Chillblast Light Side Survivor |AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | Nvidia RTX 4080 | 32GB DDR5-5600 | 1TB Samsung 980 Pro SSD | £2,993.99 (£2,893.99 without Windows 11) at CCL

Intel Arc A750 | 8GB | 28 Xe Cores | 2,050MHz | $249.95 £224.99 at Amazon (save £25)
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.

Asrock RX 6600 | 8GB  | 1,792 shaders | 2,491MHz | £299.99 £179.99 at Overclockers (save £120)
The RX 6600 is a quality 1080p GPU now that its price is creeping ever lower. At the £250 point, we're getting a budget graphics card that delivers high frame rates in the latest games at top 1080p graphics presets. At least AMD and Intel are bringing GPU pricing down.

Price Check: Ebuyer £199.98

Asus Phoenix V2 RTX 3060 | 12GB | 3,584 shaders | 1,807MHz | £339.99 £259.98 at Ebuyer (save £80.01)
This is the cheapest real RTX 3060 we've found today. There are cheaper 8GB versions, so make sure to keep your eyes out for that. They have the same core spec, memory aside, but that means far lower memory bandwidth. 

Price Check: CCL £291.84 | Amazon £305.47

PowerColor RX 6700 XT Fighter | 12GB | 2,560 shaders | 2,581MHz | £384.21 £329.99 at Ebuyer (save £54.22)
AMD rules the graphics card market's mainstream and budget ends, and the RX 6700 XT is the best GPU at this price point. The RTX 3060 Ti is still nearly £50 more expensive than the RX 6700 XT and is a little bit slower in many games.

Cooler Master GM27 | 27-inch | 1080p | IPS | 165Hz | £199.99 £179.99 at Overclockers UK (save £20)
Not a huge saving here but when you're talking about a 165Hz IPS monitor under £200 we won't complain. This is a rather speedy panel with a 0.5ms response time, and FreeSync support will keep your gaming feeling extra smooth. This is a real all-rounder for this much money.

AOC Q27G2E/BK | 27-inch | 1440p | VA | 155Hz | £219.99 £194.97 at Amazon (save £25.02)

Gigabyte M32QC | 32-inch | 1440p | 165Hz | IPS | £370 £327.99 at Currys (save £41.01)
We're big fans of Gigabyte's pared back gaming monitors here at PC Gamer. This screen is equally smart about its spec, with a simple shell surrounding a performance-focused 1440p IPS panel. For a mid-range gaming PC in 2023, this would make a fine companion.

Acer Nitro XV322QKKV | 32-inch | 4K | 144Hz | IPS | £709.99 £589.99 at Box (save £120)
4K carries a premium price, but you can make it a little more digestible with a deal like this. This isn't a cutting-edge 4K gaming monitor, but it delivers the fundamentals we expect for gaming in 2023 with a high-end graphics card, such as 144Hz refresh rate and an IPS panel.

Philips Momentum 329M1RV | 32-inch | 4K | 144Hz | FreeSync Premium | £915.99 £729.99 at Box (save £186)
Unless you're on a very tight budget, there's no reason not to pick up a 144Hz 4K panel nowadays. The days of 4K60 gaming monitors are largely over. This Philips panel is a pretty picture, too, with a decent discount and all the features you could ask of 4K at this price.

Western Digital Blue SN570 | 1TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 3,500MB/s read | 3,000MB/s write | £118.08 £43.81 at CCL (save £74.27)
It's easy to get wrapped up in what's the absolute fastest SSD, but when you consider this 'slow' PCIe 4.0 drive is as quick as any PCIe 3.0 SSD that £50 price point looks pretty stellar for a full 1TB of storage space.

Crucial P3 Plus| 1TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 5,000MB/s read | 4,200MB/s write | £106.99 £43.98 at Amazon (save £63.01)
The Crucial P3 Plus is a proper PCIe 4.0 SSD, with speeds well in advance of what any PCIe 3.0 drive can offer. And at this price it's giving you a whole lot of fast SSD storage for not a lot of pennies.

Kingston NV2 | 2TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 3,500MB/s read | 2,800MB/s write | £110.66 £80 at CCL (save £30.66)
It's slow for a PCIe 4.0 SSD, but pretty much as quick as any PCIe 3.0 drive. And you're getting 2TB of still relatively speedy game storage for that price. If you need the speed for 4K movie editing, etc. then maybe a more expensive drive would do you well, but for games this 2TB SSD will still be a great option.

Seagate FireCuda 530 | 1TB | NVMe | 7,300MB/s read | 6,000MB/s write | £144.99 £69.42 at Amazon (save £75.57)
This 1TB option is still plenty speedy, though not quite as good a deal as the SN850X drives. There are cheaper 1TB drives out there, but the Seagate FireCuda 530 is on the higher end of PCIe 4.0 drives and their available bandwidth.

Price check: Ebuyer £84.06

WD Black SN850X | 1TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,300MB/s read | 6,300MB/s write | £157.99 £63.98 at Amazon (save £94.01)
Hallelujah, our favourite SSD can now be had very reasonable money in decent 1TB capacity. There's no heatsink, but then this updated SN850X runs nice and cool. Performance wise, it's about as good as premium PCIe Gen 4 drives get.

Price check: CLL £63.99

WD Black SN850X | 2TB | NVMe | 7,300MB/s read | 6,600MB/s write | £148.15 £105.77 at Amazon (save £42.38)
Granted, it's not the biggest saving, but this one's definitely worth a look for our favourite SSD in its most perfect config. No heatsink is included here, although this Gen4 PCIe SSD doesn't run as hot as its predecessor. And man, is it something to behold speed-wise? This is definitely on the high end for PCIe 4.0 drives.
