We now have some entry-level RTX 50-series graphics cards on the market, and with it we're seeing builds like this pop up which should offer decent current-gen gaming performance without breaking the bank. The RTX 5060 Ti in this is paired with a previous-gen Intel CPU that has 6 P-Cores, which should be more than enough for mainstream gaming. Just bear in mind you're only getting 16 GB of DDR4 RAM here. It'll almost certainly be worth upgrading to 32 GB of fast DDR4 RAM when you can.

We've been very impressed by the RTX 5080 version of this particular laptop for the value proposition it provides, and the RTX 5070 Ti variant is unlikely to be a slouch, either. While most RTX 50-series lappys are still priced into the stratosphere, this 16-inch machine is a fantastic price for the components you end up receiving. That's apart from the SSD, unfortunately, which is far too small. Still, sticking a 1 TB drive in a laptop is one of the easier hardware tasks you can perform, and the rest of the components are pretty stellar for the cash.

Stocks of Intel's best GPU, the Arc 580, are improving but still quite variable. The price tag is still well above where we'd be completely happy recommending it as an essential budget purchase, even though it can be really fast in some games. Worth considering at least.

Most RTX 5060 machines have yet to be hit by the heavy deals stick in the UK, but this one has a decent smattering of specs for a low price. It's a 75 W variant of the RTX 5060, which isn't exactly turbocharged, but with some DLSS help it shouldn't have much trouble with a 1080p display, and the refresh rate is nice and speedy to make the most of Multi Frame Generation, too. Plus, a 1 TB SSD in a budget gaming laptop: Heavens be praised!

This HP lappy has a seriously chonky CPU, in combination with a 140 W RTX 5070 and 32 GB of RAM, making it a very well balanced setup. Sure, it's only got a 1200p screen, but that means the GPU should have little issue pumping out plenty of frames, and it all comes wrapped in a very stylish chassis design, too.

If you like your gaming laptops on the larger side, this Asus TUF 18-inch model is well worth a look. It's got a decently-powerful eight-core, 16-thread AMD CPU, a 115 W RTX 5070, and a sizable screen that should show off your games with aplomb. Sure, it's only 1200p, but that's the sweet spot for keeping your frame rates high without too much DLSS help, and your digital adventures should look lovely regardless.

RTX 5080 machines are still eye-wateringly expensive for the most part, but we're big fans of this Vector lappy, especially because of the price. It might not have the prettiest chassis, but it's as fast as a very, very fast thing for a fair bit cheaper than most of the competition—with a speedy 240 Hz IPS panel thrown into the bargain, too. That makes it a genuine value proposition in a laptop market that's still starved of stock and filled with extremely pricey equivalents. A smart buy right now, no doubt, although I'd stick a touch more RAM in it for cheap to really bring it up to mega spec.

This is a great price for all you SFF (small form factor) lovers. You're getting an older and not very powerful CPU, and only 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, but for a cheap, portable gaming system these should serve just fine alongside the RTX 5060. Usually you have to pay the SFF tax for a mini PC, so it's great to see such a low price on this one. Don't expect miracles with this hardware, but for some light gaming and a small physical footprint, look no further.

The RX 9070 XT is AMD's top-end GPU offering right now, and with it you're getting RTX 5070 Ti-competing performance. That means high-end mainstream gaming at 1440p. Combined with a decent mid-range current-gen CPU you're getting a powerful setup, here. You'll probably want to double up that RAM and storage capacity before too long, though.

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

We're now in the new generation of GPUs, and at this price point it makes sense to opt for an RTX 5070 or RX 9070 gaming PC. This build in particular is pretty well-rounded for a circa £1,600-£,1700 rig. The Ryzen 5 7600 is more than adequate for gaming today (though don't expect miracles) and 32 GB of DDR5 memory and 2 TB of storage is the sweet spot for midrange and even high-end gaming PCs.

Key specs: Ryzen 5 5600 | RTX 5070 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD

This Horizon build is like the one above, except it packs in a current-gen Ryzen 5 CPU and an RTX 5070 Ti, which is not insubstantially better than the RTX 5070. This is definitively high-end territory, and you're getting it for just over £2,000, which isn't bad in the current (admittedly pretty poor) market.

Key specs: Ryzen 5 9600X | RTX 5070 Ti | 32 GB DDR5 | 2 TB SSD

If you want the best this generation has to offer without spending a simply outrageous amount of money on an RTX 5090 build, you're gonna want a gaming PC like this one. That's not just because of the RTX 5080 at the heart of it, but also its eight-core current-gen AMD CPU and 32 GB of fast RAM. This build will give you the peace of mind that you can handle any modern, graphically intensive game.

Intel's budget B570 is only a fraction slower than its last-gen range-topper Arc A770, so at this price, it's well worth considering. The drivers are in a much better state than they were at launch, though there are still a few games that cause problems. When it's all working fine, though, you're getting a lot of GPU for the money.

Key specs: 2304 shaders | 2660 MHz boost | 10 GB GDDR6

Arc B570 price check: Currys £199.99 | Amazon £225.99

As the budget baby of AMD's RDNA 3 family, the RX 7600 faces plenty of competition from Intel and Nvidia. At this price, though, you might be better off choosing an Arc B570, though the RX 7600 offers more consistent performance. It's not a very exciting graphics card, but it does its job well enough.

Nvidia's newest member of the RTX 50-series family isn't going to win many awards. Roughly on par with an RTX 4060 (sometimes slower, sometimes faster), it's only worth considering if you must have DLSS 4. You're better off just paying a bit more and getting an RX 9060 XT or RTX 5060.

Arc B580 price check: Currys £229.99 | Overclockers £239.99

The RTX 5060 isn't massively faster than its predecessor, the RTX 4060, but having full support for DLSS 4 is a big plus. Stocks are decent, so you should have no problem picking one up at the MSRP, but you're better off saving more money and buying an RX 9060 XT or RTX 5060 Ti.

Nvidia's RTX 5060 has superior upscaling and frame generation technologies, but AMD's little RX 9060 XT has it beat on raw GPU power, including ray tracing. You're probably better off saving more money and buying a 16 GB version, though, for when games start demanding more memory.

RX 9060 XT 8 GB price check: Currys £269.99 | Scan £269.99 | Amazon £269.99 | Laptops Direct £299.97

The 16 GB version of the RX 9060 XT isn't quite as fast as the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB card when ray tracing is involved, but outside of that, it's generally on par. You don't get as good an upscaling and frame generation system as with the Nvidia GPU, though. It is much cheaper, which counts for a lot these days.

RX 9060 XT 16 GB price check: Amazon £339.98 | Scan £349.99 | Currys £359.99 | Laptops Direct £369.97

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 certainly not worth paying £100 more for it. This is a great little GPU for the money.

RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB price check: Overclockers £329.99 | Amazon £334.99 | Currys £349 | Laptops Direct £349.97

While the specs suggest it should only be a little faster than the 4060 Ti, the use of super-speedy GDDR7 gives the RTX 5060 Ti a surprisingly healthy boost. Not worth buying if you already have an RTX 40-series card, but it's a decent upgrade if you have a much older GPU. This deal is for the white model only.

The RTX 5070 is a good deal faster than its predecessor, the RTX 4070, and it's priced very similarly. Other 5070 models are more expensive than this one, so don't waste your money on them. This one will do everything you need, and it's well under Nvidia's MSRP.

RTX 5070 price check: Currys £499 | Scan £499.99 | Amazon £499.99 | Laptops Direct £502.97

The RX 9070 is a really solid mid-range graphics card, provided you can get one at a sensible price. Fortunately, this deal is under MSRP, making it a very tempting deal. The only problem is that the RTX 5070 is cheaper still, and it's not that much slower than the 9070.

RX 9070 price check: Amazon £539.99 | Scan £539.99 | Laptops Direct £578.97

The RX 9070 XT is AMD's best graphics card in recent years, so naturally, it's hugely popular, resulting in high prices. However, this one is only a little over MSRP and seriously undercuts the RTX 5070 Ti. Although the 9070 XT isn't as strong when ray tracing is involved, it gives Nvidia's GPU a good run for the money everywhere else.

At its £729 MSRP, the RTX 5070 Ti is a superb graphics card, and it's an even better card when it's cheaper. If you think of it as being like an RTX 4080 with DLSS 4 support and great overclocking ability, you'll see why it's worth the money. The only problem is that the RX 9070 XT is a lot cheaper.

At this price, it's below the launch MSRP, but it's arguably still not worth the money, as the RTX 5080 isn't that much faster than the RTX 4080 it replaces. You do get the full DLSS 4 suite, including Multi Frame Generation, but you might be better off waiting for a bigger price drop.

Traditionally, we'd recommend against buying a 24-inch gaming monitor. That's a pretty slim window through which to try to game. However, if you're really desperate for something incredibly affordable, this monitor's low price tag of just £70 is tough to ignore. But seriously do check out a 27-inch option if you can spare a little more budget. It's a VA panel, too, rather than the TN you sometimes see aat this price.

Key specs: 24-inch | 1080p | 180 Hz | VA | 1 ms

It's pretty wild what you can get these days for a relatively small sum of money. This is a 27-inch monitor for roughly the same price as some smaller 24-inch panels, and it still rocks an IPS display, 1 ms response time, and a 165 Hz refresh rate. Fantastic for gaming on a budget.

Key specs: 27-inch | 1080p | 165 Hz | IPS | 1 ms

It's true, 1440p really is amazing value these days. Plus a graphics card capable of running modern games at this resolution won't cost you more than a car. This option comes with a very capable 200 Hz IPS panel and can be pushed another 10 Hz via overclocking if you so wish. Not bad for the price, eh?

Key specs: 27-inch | 1440p | 200 Hz | IPS | 1 ms

A 1440p panel with a super speedy refresh rate and a snappy response time, this is a bit of a banger for less than £140. Being 27 inches, it's a bit small, but it's still a lot of monitor for not that much. It does have a slight curve to it though, so make sure that's the kind of screen you're looking for.

Key specs: 1440p | 1500R | 180 Hz | 0.5 ms

If you thought decent ultrawides were expensive, I'm happy to prove you wrong. VA panel, of course, but otherwise this wide boi has very little wrong with it for the cash. That 180 Hz refresh rate is very nice to see at this price.

Key specs: 34-inch | 3440 x 1440 | 180 Hz | VA | 1 ms

This Alienware is a good blend of resolution (1440p) and refresh rate (280 Hz) for competitive gaming without going full 'turn your settings to low and sit two-inches from a 24-inch 1080p screen'. It's an OLED, with a lush picture quality, and the response time is a snappy 0.03 ms.

Key specs: OLED | 2560 x 1440 | 280 Hz | FreeSync Premium Pro | G-Sync Compatible

LG makes some of our favourite gaming monitors, and this 4K IPS panel is part of its UltraGear line, of which we are very much fans. The 144 Hz refresh rate might not be the fastest, but it's still plenty speedy for most, and otherwise, this panel has near-flawless specs for the cash. Okay, it's not an OLED, but it's one of the best IPS around.

Key specs: 32-inch | 4K | 144 Hz | IPS | 1 ms

A 4K OLED. That's the real dream. This one from Samsung has a 240 Hz refresh rate, 0.03 ms response time, and all those inky blacks and vibrant colours that we've come to expect from an OLED display. It also has Type-C pprts, and a pretty good-looking stand.

For just storing documents, this small SATA SSD is a lot faster than a traditional HDD and Lexar makes reliable and robust SSDs. You're still better off getting an NVMe M.2 SSD for games and your operating system, though.

Key specs: 2.5-inch | SATA 6 Gb/s | 550 MB/s read | 520 MB/s write

You'll only find a few 1 TB SSDs going cheaper than this Lexar drive, and none are as good value. We really liked what this drive had to offer in our review, delivering performance right at the top end of what PCIe 4.0 is capable of, all for a low price.

Key specs: NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,400 MB/s read | 6,500 MB/s write

This is one of our favourite SSDs for gaming right now. Unlike the cheaper SN770, the SN850X encapsulates the best PCIe 4.0 offers in terms of performance (check out our review). That makes it a great fit for a boot drive with space to spare for your game library, and at this price, we're happy to pay the premium for its higher speed.

Key specs: NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,300 MB/s read | 6,300 MB/s write

Price check: Scan £103.99

Prices for the XS70 are some of the most variable I've seen for an SSD, so it's perhaps worth waiting to see if the price dips again before picking one up. It packs rather a large bang for your buck with its fast read and write times, at least. While the software side of things may be a little lacking, we were impressed with this drive's overall performance and value proposition.

Key specs: NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,300 MB/s read | 6,800 MB/s write

It's a lot of money to spend on a storage drive but it's actually great value for money. Trying to find a high-quality 4 TB SSD around £200 in the UK is pretty impossible right now but this Lexar is well worth the extra money. There are cheaper SSDs with the same capacity but they won't have anywhere near the same performance or longevity.

Crucial is a big name in SSDs, and the Micron-owned brand is offering a small saving on this 1TB external model. The drive comes in an anodized aluminium shell with a rubberized base and is just 65 x 50 mm big. There's an integrated lanyard hole too, if you want to wear it, which hides a drive activity light. If this isn't enough storage for you, the 2 TB version is only £119.99 on Amazon.

Key specs: USB 3.2 Gen2 | Up to 1,050 MB/s read and write

Small, light, and very fast in the right USB port, this little SSD might be all you need for your external storage requirements. While we didn't think it offered a great amount of drop resistance in our review, the SD810 is rated to IP68, so it'll fend off dust and water ingress nicely.

Key specs: USB 3.2 Gen2x2 | 2,000 MB/s read | 2,000 MB/s write

If you need a small external SSD but don't want to sacrifice capacity or performance, then Crucial's X10 Pro is a great choice. It's the same size as the X6 model but has double the read/write performance, though you will need to plug it into a 20 Gbps USB port to reach full speed.

This AM4 socket processor uses an architecture that's over four years old, but at this price, the Ryzen 5 5500 is perfect for a budget gaming PC build. Despite its 65 W power limit, it rarely uses that amount, and a cheap air cooler is all you'll need to handle the heat.

Key specs: 6 cores | 12 threads | 4.2 GHz boost | 16 MB L3 | 65 W

This isn't much of a deal, and that's because Intel's last generation of Core processors is still in high demand. While not the outright fastest of the series, the Core i5 14600KF is fast in gaming and not too shabby at other workloads, thanks to its 20 threads. The KF model doesn't have an integrated GPU, but at least you won't need a massive cooler for it. This deal is for Prime Members only.

Key specs: 10 cores (6P+4E) | 20 threads | 5.3 GHz boost | 24 MB L3 | 125 W

Somewhat disappointing at launch, the Ryzen 5 9600X has improved considerably thanks to a host of BIOS, microcode, and Windows updates. Still a little pricey for what it is, this little CPU is excellent in games and sips at power. With only 12 threads, though, it's not so great for content creation.

Key specs: 6 cores | 12 threads | 5.4 GHz boost | 32 MB L3 | 65 W

While it's soundly beaten by AMD's Ryzen 9000-series chips in gaming, Intel's underrated Core Ultra 7 265K is actually great value for money. With 20 threads on tap, along with support for ultra-fast RAM, the 265K is ideal for anyone who wants an all-round processor. This deal is for Prime Members only.

Key specs: 20 cores (8P+12E) | 20 threads | 5.5 GHz boost | 30 MB L3 | 125 W

Although it has been superseded by the newer 9800X3D, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is still a superlative gaming CPU. That's why it's still pretty expensive for an eight-core processor. It runs pretty hot, so you'll need a decent cooler to go with it.

Key specs: 8 cores | 16 threads | 5.0 GHz boost | 96 MB L3 | 120 W

AMD's old socket (AM4) is best suited for budget gaming PC builds these days, so there's no need to spend a fortune on a motherboard. At just $90, this MSI model has three PCIe slots, two M.2 slots, four SATA ports, and six USB ports on the rear IO panel. Nothing amazing, but it'll do the job just fine.

Key specs: AM4 | B550 chipset | 3x PCIe | 2x M.2 | 6x rear USB | Wi-Fi 5

This might seem quite pricey for a last-gen Intel LGA1700 motherboard, but it's a really good one, with lots of connectivity and expansion options. If you're going to stick a 14th Gen Core i7 or i9 in it, make sure you update the BIOS to the latest version.

Key specs: LGA1700 | Z760 chipset | 3x PCIe | 3x M.2 | 8x rear USB | Wi-Fi 6E

Silly product name aside, this is a decent little AM5 socket motherboard, offering plenty of connectivity and expansion options for quite a reasonable price. You can easily spend double this amount and not get much extra for it.

Key specs: AM5 | B650 chipset | 3x PCIe | 3x M.2 | 8x rear USB | Wi-Fi 6E

With Intel's LGA1851 barely one year old, great deals on motherboards with this socket are quite rare. So it's especially nice when this excellent board has a big discount. If you want a Core Ultra 200S build, this is all the motherboard you'll need.

If you're on a very tight budget for building a gaming PC, then going with 16 GB of DDR4 RAM will help you out. This set from Team Group is more than fast enough, but it's a little on the tall side, so it might clash with some air CPU coolers.

Key specs: 16 GB (2x8) | 3,200 MT/s | CL16

DDR5 RAM prices in the UK are rapidly increasing, so great deals are very rare at the moment. This kit from Klevv is fast and very nice-looking, so although it's not super cheap, it's better value for money than many other DDR5 sets.

Key specs: 32 GB (2x16) | 6,000 MT/s | CL30

This beefier version of the Dark Rock 5 CPU air cooler is a mighty slab of metal. It sports a switch to toggle between outright performance and quiet operation, as well as a height-adjustable front fan to avoid RAM clashes. Normally very expensive, this deal makes it well worth considering.

This AIO liquid cooler from MSI is a real peach, even though the discount isn't very big. Fitted with a universal mounting bracket, installing the Coreliquid I360 is a piece of cake. The fans do get a bit loud at full speed, though.

With a neat look, detachable memory foam neck pillow, adjustable lumbar support, and a sturdy feel, you'd be forgiven for thinking the Corsair TC100 Relaxed is a much more expensive chair. Living up to that name, it's a comfortable seat with a great recline.

Key specs: Lumbar pillow | 2D armrests | Gray and Black / Black

Secretlab's best chair, and one of the best gaming chairs it's possible to buy today. The regular Titan Evo is great, but if you're a big and tall gamer the XL version is the one to go for—it's much more comfortable than trying to squeeze your titanic majesty into something not meant for the job.
