Razer Blade 14 | NVIDIA RTX 3070 | R9-5900HX | 14-inch | 1440p | 165Hz | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | £2,199 £1,549 at Amazon (save £600)
Is there a sweeter small form factor gaming lap[top than the Razer Blade 14? This one packs a serious punch thanks to RTX 3070 graphics and an eight-core AMD Ryzen 9 CPU. Add in 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD and you have a comprehensive package. 

HyperX Cloud Alpha | Wired | 336g | £89.99 £39.99 at Amazon (save £50)
The venerable Cloud Alpha may be getting on a bit now, but that doesn't stop it from being one of the best, and best-sounding gaming headsets of all time. The smart driver design has been recently aped by Razer's impressive BlackShark V2 range, and sounds as close as you can get to an expansive open back design in noise-isolating closed back headset.

LG Ultragear 34GP950 | 34-inch | 3440 x 1440p | IPS | 180Hz (OC) | £1,196.98 £699.97 at Laptops Direct (save £497.01)
LG is the originator of the IPS panel technology and its 1ms response is about as fast as you're going to see this sort of screen get. And with a potential 180Hz overclock available on this beautifully curved monitor, the LG Ultragear has a lot to offer for the money, and it's only ever been cheaper than this once before.

MSI Katana GF66 | Nvidia RTX 3070 | Core i7 11800H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | £1,399 £949 at Very (save £450)
This machine has been discounted below £1,000 across all the retailers so far this sales season, but this is the cheapest we've seen it at. And to be able to get an RTX 3070 laptop for less than a grand makes this svelte MSI machine a great deal. The only issue I have with the spec is that 512GB SSD, and that there is only a single NVMe slot in which to upgrade your storage.

Acer Predator X38S | 38-inch | Curved | 3840 x 1600p | IPS | 175Hz | £1,499 £1,049.98 at Box (save £449.01)
This beautiful ultrawide gaming monitor is one of our top picks. We scored it a 90 in our Acer Predator X38 review, though this is the S model with a slightly tanked refresh rate. Still, both enjoy an expansive resolution, great responsiveness, and an all-over fantastic gaming experience. Topped with Gsync and a nice relaxed 2300R curve, it's certainly worth a look at that price.

Razer Blade 15 base | 15.6-inch | Intel Core i7 11800H | Nvidia RTX 3070 | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | 165Hz | 1440p | £2,149.99 £1,916.99 at Razer (save £233)
The specs could be a little more generous in terms of storage space, but the Blade is one of our favourite portable gaming machines. This config comes with a great processor and capable Ampere GPU which should be able to make the most out of that tasty 1440p panel and it's 165Hz refresh.

CyberpowerPC Ultra 55 | Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti | AMD Ryzen 5 5500 | 16GB RAM | 1TB NVMe SSD | £1,299 £916 at CyberpowerPC (save £383)
Shipping the day after purchase, the Ultra 55 doesn't come with the most up to date CPU around, but this is still a great buy. An RTX 3060 Ti machine topped by 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, ain't bad and although the Kingston PCIe SSD isn't the speediest, 1TB is much appreciated. You even get Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, and Warhammer 40k: Darktide Imperial Edition with it.

HP Omen 25L | Nvidia RTX 3060 | AMD Ryzen 5 5600G | 16GB RAM | 1TB NVMe SSD | £1,199.99 £999.99 at Amazon (save £200)
The HP Omen here comes in at just under a grand for a still very relevant, entry-level CPU/GPU combo. With it you get the benefit of a nice chunky 1TB NVMe SSD and 16GB of RAM. And, boy oh boy, that's the cheapest we've ever seen it right now.

Acer Predator Orion 3000 | Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti | Intel Core i5 12400 | 16GB RAM | 1TB HDD | 256GB NVMe SSD | £1,179.99 £1,079.99 at Ebuyer (save £100)
Here we have a nice entry-level gaming PC, with a last gen CPU/GPU combo. It's not the greatest when it comes to storage, though if you only play a few, smaller games and aren't too worried about HDD speeds in 2022, this is still a fairly good shout.

Vortex | Nvidia RTX 3070 | Intel Core i7 12700KF | 16GB RAM | 1TB NVMe SSD | £1,722 £1,499 at PC Specialist (save £223)
A very tasty CPU/GPU combo here, topped with some DDR4-3200, and some deep NVMe storage which isn't a bad addition on top of that. You get next day delivery, as well as Warhammer 40K: Darktide for free.

Medion Erazer Deputy P25 | Nvidia RTX 3060 | Ryzen 5 5600H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | £1099.98 £899.99 at Ebuyer (save £199.99)
Yeah, it's a chunky chassis to be sure, but this fairly generic gaming laptop does offer a great spec for this money. Its RTX 3060 will be able to drive its 144Hz display at 1080p, and with 16GB of RAM it's not lacking where it matters, either. 

Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 | Nvidia RTX 3060 | Ryzen 5 5600H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 120Hz | 8GB RAM | 512GB SSD | £899.99 at Amazon
Technically not a deal, but one of the cheapest RTX 3060 gaming laptops we've seen so far. Granted there are some sacrifices made to deliver the GPU performance at this price. Notably, the RAM and SSD are pretty miserly, but compromises always have to be made when you're on a tight budget, and the CPU and GPU combination will deliver great gaming performance on the 120Hz 1080p screen.

MSI Katana GF66 | Nvidia RTX 3070 | Core i7 11800H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | £1,399 £949 at Very (save £450)

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402RK | AMD RX 6800S | R7-6800HS | 14-inch | 1200p | 144Hz | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | £1,799.99 £1,499.99 at Amazon (save £300)
The pure AMD version of the delectable ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14. Compact 14-inch proportions, 144Hz 1200p panel, AMD Radeon RX 6800S graphics, 1TB SSD. What's not to like? OK, it's not 1440p, but 1,920 by 1,200 on a 14-inch panel is plenty.

Razer Blade 14 | NVIDIA RTX 3070 | R9-5900HX | 14-inch | 1440p | 165Hz | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | £2,199 £1,549 at Amazon (save £600)
Is there a sweeter small form factor gaming lap[top than the Razer Blade 14? This one packs a serious punch thanks to RTX 3070 graphics and an eight-core AMD Ryzen 9 CPU. Add in 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD and you have a comprehensive package. 

HP Omen 17 | Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti | Core i7 12700H | 17.3-inch | 1440p | 165Hz | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | £1,999.99 £1,549.99 at HP (save £450)
Coming in with a powerful last gen CPU and GPU, this laptop should even be able to make the most of the 165Hz 1440p panel at mid-low settings. Otherwise it's a fantastic spec with a nice big SSD and, of course, some speedy DDR5-4800 RAM topping it off. Juicy.

Alienware M15 R7 | Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti | AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 165Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | £2,349 £1,879 at Dell (save £470)
A very nice machine here, with a powerful CPU/GPU combo that will eat through those frames at the laptop's native 1080p. That's a powerful CPU backing up a great last gen mobile GPU and it even comes topped with some tasty DDR5-4800 RAM. It's a little lacking on the storage side, but it could be worse, for sure.

Razer Blade 15 base | 15.6-inch | Intel Core i7 11800H | Nvidia RTX 3070 | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | 165Hz | 1440p | £2,149.99 £1,916.99 at Box (save £233)
The specs could be a little more generous in terms of storage space, but the Blade is one of our favourite portable gaming machines. This config comes with a great processor and capable Ampere GPU which should be able to make the most out of that tasty 1440p panel and it's 165Hz refresh.

Razer Blade 17 | Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 | Intel Core i7 11800H | 17.3-inch | 1080p | 360Hz | 32GB RAM | 1TB SSD | £2,999.98 £1,999.97 at Laptops direct (save $1,000.01)
Sure, you're looking at two generations back on the CPU here, but the i7 11800H is still a very relevant processor today. Paired with a beastly RTX 3080 and 32GB of RAM you can bet it'll handle whatever you throw at it in it's native 1080p, and will even work with an external monitor up to 4K. That 1TB SSD wont go amiss either.

Anda Seat Pretty in Pink | 2D armrests | 160 degree recline | £299.99 £229.99 at Amazon (save £70)
Similar to the Anda Seat Jungle 2 we reviewed recently, this chair has the basics nailed. It includes plenty of cushions for comfort and just look at that colourway. If that doesn't put you off, this is a great price on a super cute gaming chair.

Anda Seat Kaiser 2 | 4D armrests | 160 degree recline | £349.99 £279.99 at Amazon (save £70)
We've rested our rump on the Kaiser 2 and found it perfectly suited to big and tall gamers. It's very well built, but beyond that it offers a lot of the features we'd expect from a high-end chair with a more moderate price tag today.

Noblechairs Epic | 4D armrests | 120kg | £329.99 £284.99 at Overclockers (save £45)
The snazzy, and asymmetric looking Copper Edition of this top-tier gaming chair is on offer right now. For that money you get  fantastic build quality in the form of a sturdy, understated gaming chair which we gave an... epic score of 91 in our review.

Herman Miller Sayl | Plenty of colour options | £716 £572.80 at Herman Miller (save £143.20)
I've only had the pleasure of sitting in a Sayl chair in an actual office, but damn if it wasn't a step-up from the regular cheapo office chairs I was used to. It's not got a high back to it, which might make it less suitable for lounging around playing games, but it's a great, and very colourful, choice for a small at-home office. It's pretty compact and doesn't dominate a room.

Herman Miller Aeron | Breathable fabric | Highly adjustable | ergonomic design | £1,312 £1,049.60 at Herman Miller (save £262.40)
There's no Embody deal in the Herman Miller UK sale, but the Aeron is available. Here's what we love about it:

Slightly cheaper than the Embody we love for gaming, the Aeron is much more of an office chair in its styling. That said, it offers a highly breathable design for long-term comfort, and that actually makes it pretty great for running raids. With straightforward ergonomics and a compact size, it's a great choice for anyone looking beyond the gaming chair aesthetic. Like the Embody, you can expect at least 12 years out of this chair under warranty.

AOC 24G2SPAE/BK | 24-inch | 1080p | IPS | 165Hz | £179.99 £144.95 at Overclockers (save £35.04)
For £5 less you can grab a very similar VA screen, but I'd happily pay that to get a 165Hz IPS panel instead. And with a 1ms response time, this 24-inch screen makes for a fantastic entry level gaming monitor.

LG 27GN800-B | 27-inch | 1440p | IPS | £519.97 £284.97 at Laptops Direct (save £114)
Given the name, Laptops Direct is probably not your first port of call for monitor deals, but this 27-inch LG is a great price right now. Even if the 'saving' looks a trifle generous compared to the level it's been retailing for... But with a 144Hz refresh rate, a genuine LG IPS panel, and a 1ms response time, this will make for a great gaming monitor.

LG Ultragear 34GP950 | 34-inch | 3440 x 1440p | IPS | 180Hz (OC) | £1,196.98 £699.97 at Laptops Direct (save £497.01)

And with a potential 180Hz overclock available on this beautifully curved monitor, the LG Ultragear has a lot to offer for the money, and it's only ever been cheaper than this once before.

Acer Predator X38S | 38-inch | Curved | 3840 x 1600p | IPS | 175Hz | £1,499 £1,048.49 at Box (save £449.02)
This beautiful ultrawide gaming monitor is one of our top picks. We scored it a 90 in our Acer Predator X38 review, though this is the S model with a slightly tanked refresh rate. Still, both enjoy an expansive resolution, great responsiveness, and an all-over fantastic gaming experience. Topped with Gsync and a nice relaxed 2300R curve, it's certainly worth a look at that price.

WD_Black SN850 | 1TB | PCIe 4.0 | 7,000MB/s read | 5,300MB/s write| £153.99 £118.48 at Amazon (save £35.51)
The first-gen PCIe 4.0 drives are seeing some decent discounts now that faster drives, based on the Phison E18 controller, have been released. Just a few months ago this was the price of a 1TB PCIe 3.0 SSD, but now you can get twice the speed for the same price. Though do make sure you have a motherboard and CPU capable of running a PCIe 4.0 SSD first.

Samsung 870 QVO | 2TB | SATA | 560MB/s read | 530MB/s write | £176.99 £119.99 at Amazon (save £54)
A quick look at the read/write performance and it's clear that SATA SSDs aren't a patch on their PCIe-based brethren. But if you don't have a spare socket for one on your motherboard, then that doesn't matter a whole lot. In which case a SATA drive is a great option for offering a chunk of extra space. The 870 QVO has been cheaper than this, but it's still one of the cheaper 2TB options out there.

Samsung 870 QVO | 4TB | SATA | 560MB/s read | 530MB/s write | £381.49 £259.99 at Amazon (save £121.50)

HyperX Cloud Alpha | Wired | 336g | £89.99 £39.99 at Amazon (save £50)
The venerable Cloud Alpha may be getting on a bit now, but that doesn't stop it from being one of the best, and best-sounding gaming headsets of all time. The smart driver design has been recently aped by Razer's impressive BlackShark V2 range, and sounds as close as you can get to an expansive open back design in noise-isolating closed back headset.

Razer Nari Ultimate | Wireless | 432g | £199.99 £99.99 at Amazon (save £100)
I'll be honest, the haptic audio feedback built into the Nari does not float my boat, but that doesn't mean this isn't still a quality wireless gaming headset. And given that the wireless premium usually pushes headset prices well over £100, that makes the Nari Ultimate great value right now.

SteelSeries Arctis Pro | Wired | 426g | £179.99 £109.99 at Amazon (save £70)
The outstanding Arctis Pro briefly dropped lower than this, but this is still a solid deal on a set of seriously hi-res gaming headphones. The 10–40,000Hz response of these cans makes them ultra-clear for gaming, and deliver great depth for music too.

Logitech G915 | Tenkeyless | Tactile | Wireless | £219.99 £124.99 at Amazon (save £95)
This is the tactile, tenkeyless version of a fantastic, low profile keyboard we've had on our best gaming keyboards list for a while now. It's not got any passthroughs, but it does come with dedicated media controls and a fantastic battery life. You would need Logitech's proprietary keycaps if you were going to switch any out or get an artisan keycap, but hey, it's still a damn nice board.

Mountain Everest Max Grey | Full Size | Cherry MX Red | Wired | £259.99 £219.98 at Scan (save £40.01)
Right now the second entry on our best gaming keyboard  is the Everest Max, and it really is a stellar contender for your wallet. We're not 100% on the software, but with dedicated media controls, USB 3.2 Gen1 passthroughs and a fully modular getup, this one's hard to pass up. Especially when you're staring down Cherry MX Red switches, too.

Logitech G203 | Wired | 8,000 DPI | Right-handed | £34.99 £16.99 at Amazon (Save £18)
Already listed as the best cheap gaming mouse around on our best gaming mouse guide, this is a great choice for people just starting out, or who've already blown their budget on high-powered components, but who still want to go with a trusted brand. And at half price now, it's a no-brainer.

Logitech G502 HERO Special Edition | Wired | 25K DPI | 11 buttons | Right-handed | 121g + 18g | £79.99 £34.89 at Amazon (save £45.10)
One of our favourite gaming mice ever to grace the earth is currently going for pittance and I'm very tempted to get it myself. It's got Logitech's most up-to-date 25K sensor, and is perfect for those who can't decide what weight they want their mouse to be, as you can simply add or remove weight as you like. It's got a tonne of programmable buttons and right now the special edition is cheaper than the standard. Nice.

Razer Basilisk Ultimate + dock | Wireless | 20K DPI | 11 buttons | Right-handed | 101g | £169.99 £89.99 at Amazon (save £80)
A fantastic mouse here which, while it may have the older 20K sensor, will still keep your opponents on their toes. You get not only the benefit of wireless, but the added dock for easy charging. Not a bad price at all for something with 20 hours of battery life.

Hisense 55U7HQTUK | 55-inch | 4K | ULED | 120Hz | £849 £549 at Currys (save £300)
A gaming-ready 4K TV for under £600 isn't bad at all, especially at this size. This one comes with a 120Hz refresh for smooth gaming, some wide viewing angles, and HDR10+ for great colour. You even benefit from Game Mode Pro with FreeSync and ALLM (auto game mode).

LG OLED A2 | 48-inch | 4K | OLED | 60Hz | £1,299 £652.49 at Amazon (save £646)

This is a great price for a 4K OLED TV, and at 48 inches it's still viable as a very large PC monitor. A word of caution, though: It's limited to 60Hz, so if you've just got yourself a nice GPU and want to push games as far as you can, this will be a limiting factor. 

LG C2 OLED | 48-inch | 4K | OLED | 120Hz | £1,399.99  £899 at Amazon (save £500)
Only the best gaming TV on the planet with a £500 saving right now. Oof. Yeah, this is the real LG OLED deal, and at the 48-inch scale actually makes for pretty great gaming monitor. The HDMI 2.1 makes 4K at 120Hz a reality on PC, and the lightning-fast response of OLED panels makes it glorious for gaming. Yum.

Sony Bravia XR55A80JU | 55-inch | 4K | OLED | 120Hz | £1,399 £999 at Electric Shop (save £400)
4K 120Hz gaming is within reach here, and with a hefty discount to boot. There are even two HDMI ports that support it, so you can have a couple of things plugged in at once to switch between them easier. You get the benefit here of wide viewing angles, and OLED which means deep blacks. Of course, it's a smart TV, too.
