Prime Day PC deals are the answer to RAMageddon, and I've found the discounts to prove it
Prime Day PC deals and FantasTech equivalents are here to help you get your desired specs for a little cheaper this summer
Prime Day PC deals are now live and are currently the best option you have if you want to grab the computer specs you're hoping for this year. Let's face it, 2026 is likely the worst year to upgrade your gaming PC since 2020, thanks to the RAM shortage. However, not all hope is lost.
I've managed to find a handful of very decent, cost-effective deals on Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy, and more this Prime Day season. These discounts include one of our picks for the best gaming PCs of 2026, and a bunch more savings on both high-end and mid-range machines. I will say that it is very much worth considering the discounts listed below as well since RAMageddon shows no sign of wrapping up anytime soon. Component shortages, AI datacenter demand, and spiralling RAM costs (not to mention rigs and graphics cards) mean that sales like Prime Day may be your only chance to get all your PC gaming bits for a good long while.
It's also worth noting that the team at GamesRadar+ spends hours testing everything from the latest components to the best gaming handhelds that run PC games. We also regularly update these deal pages to ensure you are getting real savings rather than inflated prices. So read on below for a complete and curated round-up of the best Prime Day PC deals to pick up today.

Thermaltake is pushing prices lower this Prime Day on its RTX 5060 build, and while that means making do with DDR4 RAM, you shouldn't snub an i5-14400F CPU and 1TB SSD for under a grand. Again, this is one of the few rigs you'll see for less than a $1,000 this year that isn't using an old GPU or sticking with a barebones setup, so keep that in mind.
Specs: Intel Core i5-14400F, 16GB DDR4 RAM, RTX 5060, 1TB SSD

If you'd like a similar sort of build from Thermaltake, but with more up-to-date DDR5 RAM instead of compromising on last-gen specs that won't make full use of the CPU, check this deal at Newegg out.
Specs: Intel Core i5-14600K, 16GB DDR5RAM, RTX 5060, 1TB SSD

ABS is Newegg's homegrown brand of prebuilt gaming rigs, and although a lot of the store's system discounts are on DDR4 machines, the Cyclone Aqua has a couple of DDR5 configurations with discounts on them. This is still a lot more than I'd like to recommend an RTX 5060 build at, but the i7 processor and 32GB of DDR5 help to sway me into recommending this to you.
Specs: Intel Core i7-14700F, RTX 5060, 32GB of DDR5, 1TB SSD

This is a solid new-gen entry-level rig that, despite DDR5 RAM, is down to the same price as some DDR4 models. It's also armed with an RTX 5060 GPU, so while it's at the cheaper end of the pre-built scale, it can boost fps by leveraging DLSS abilities. Unfortunately, we've seen this one cheaper this week already, so while it's still at a strong price, you might want to hold out and see if it gets any cheaper.
Specs: RTX 5060 8GB Intel i5-14400F, 16GB DDR5, 1TB SSD

Again, this is more than I'd like to recommend for an RTX 5060 Ti build, but you are getting the 16GB model in this iBUYPOWER system, along with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU pairing and decent DDR5 memory.
Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, 32GB of DDR5, 1TB SSD

This is a standout offer on Skytech's RX 9070 XT build, as you're getting it for the same price as a lower spec Nvidia machine. It's going to have a native edge over rigs with an RTX 5070, and it avoids dialling back RAM to DDR4 to cut back on costs.
Specs: Ryzen 7 7700 3.8GHz, AMD RX 9070XT 16GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD

With $200 off for Prime Day season, this RTX 5060 Ti build is now cheaper than ever. You're getting a generous 1TYB SSD and DDR5 RAM too, so you're not skimping on specs to get a discount.
Specs: Ryzen 7 9700X 3.8GHz, RTX 5060 Ti, 16GB VRAM, 1TB NVMe SSD

Another Newegg FantasTech deal gets you this 9070XT build for a really competitive price versus some of the options at Amazon. Combined with an X3D processor, you're going to have no trouble with 4K frame rates.
Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Radeon RX 9070 XT, 32GB of DDR5, 2TB SSD

If you're aiming to step up to mid-range, Zotac's RTX 5070 rig has a respectable 10% off its usual price right now. It's also packing 32GB DDR5, which is contributing to the higher price point, so keep that in mind if you're not fussed about more memory.
Specs: RTX 5070 Ti 16GB GDDR7, AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, 32GB DDR5, 1TB SSD

This one's down to its lowest-ever price as of today. As a budget rig, it's still packing a reasonable punch - the 5060 Ti is a step up from the bottom of the still-powerful 50-series cards, and with 16GB of Ram and a 1TB SSD, it should have everything else you need.

A step down from the above models with a price to reflect it, Walmart is offering just shy of $200 off this 5060 build bundle.
Specs: AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, RTX 5060, 16GB DDR5, 1TB SSD, 600W PSU

If you don't mind the ROG G700 sitting on the chunkier side, it's a powerhouse build that packs a 5060 card and increasingly-pricy DDR5 RAM.

This one's a fair way off its lowest-ever price - that went as low as $1440 back in November - but it is falling this Prime Day, as I've seen it substantially higher than this already. Some solid stats are on display, with a decent chunk of RAM, a competitive 5070 GPU, and plenty of speedy storage with that 2TB SSD.

While this is a pricey PC to begin with, the Corsair Vengeance A7500 is currently at its record low on Amazon. At this price and with its specs, it's definitely more accessible to mainstream PC players.

The HP OMEN 35L is a quality mid-to-high-range PC that now has a limited discount of over $1000. This is one of the best gaming PCs we recommend, especially for newbies. It's easily upgradeable, and there are better GPU options to pick from as well if you don't mind the extra cost.
Specs: Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 4060 Ti

This is a pretty decent machine for PC newbies, but what makes it shine as a gaming PC is its customization potential. It works best for 1080p/1440p gaming. We did see this go for slightly cheaper last year, but not by much, so it's a deal worth checking out.
Specs: Intel Core Ultra 7, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 5070

Prime Day PC deals: FAQ
Do you have to be a Prime member to access Prime deals?
Yes, you'll need a Prime Membership to gain access to the more exclusive parts of Amazon's sale, particularly the Prime-exclusive offers. Funnily enough, sometimes for Prime Day, we see only a few of those, and other times we see more. When it comes to PCs specifically, a lot of the best deals actually come from competing retailers who run their own sales at the same time. Either way, you don't necessarily have to pay for a Prime subscription if you play your cards right. If you're not an existing Prime member, you'll be able to take advantage of a 30-day free trial closer to the event.
Make sure to check out the best Prime Day monitor deals for display discounts. Or, if you're a console player, swing by Prime Day PS5 deals and Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals for system savings, games, and accessories.
Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more

One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had two hands. Ever since I've been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my own YouTube channel about my love of games too. These days, I'm one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension.
