Prime Day gaming PC deals LIVE: All the best discounts as they happen

Happy Prime Day, folks! It's a beautiful day to blast Bo Burnham's Bezos anthems and get bargain-hunting for some gaming PC deals. My name's Duncan, I'm the Hardware Editor here at GamesRadar, and I'm going to be keeping you up to date with all the biggest and best PC and component deals for the next 48 hours.

I'm sure I'll take a few breaks along the way, but for the most part, I'll be giving this live blog rolling updates and trying to find you the best deals I can from Amazon, as well as other retailers like Newegg, Best Buy, Walmart, and wherever else decides to throw up some fun discounts. 

My main goal will be to find some great PCs for as close to, if not under, a grand. That said, I appreciate this will be one of the first chances people have to get the latest generation of PCs and parts on the cheap, so I'll also be working up the price-range too to find something for everyone. If you're looking to build your own computer this Prime Day, I'll also be keeping tabs on the best component discounts I find too. 

Have you found a great deal you want to ask about, or think I should include in the blog? Please feel free to get in touch via my Twitter (if you haven't migrated to Threads, that is). With that said, let's get the ball rolling - I'm off to find some great deals for you. 

iBUYPOWER Pro Gaming PC | $1,349.99 $1,199.99 at Amazon

Alright - let's kick things off with one of the go-to brands for gaming PC bargain buying. iBUYPOWER gets you some really solid configurations for the money, and in this Pro SlateMR Gaming PC you get an RTX 3060 Ti, a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of DDR4, and a whole 1TB of SSD space to play with. I'd love to see some more DDR5 builds go on offer this Prime Day, but this price for an RTX 3060 Ti build is a nice way to start things off.

Oh, and the Amazon listing says there are only 6 left in stock, and it's priced at $1,199.99. Might be one to pull the trigger on quickly if you like it. 

As for UK shoppers, there's a CyberPowerPC that has an RTX 3060 and an 11th Gen i9 which is on offer for £1,099. It isn't exact, but it's close enough to an equivalent for now.

Skytech Shadow Gaming PC | $1,999.99 $1,699.99 at Amazon

Ok - mulligan! Scratch that first one, Newegg has it one-upped. This isn't the biggest saving, but in fairness, Newegg has this priced really reasonably anyway - another tell that no one has been buying the latest generation of PCs and GPUs recently. 

Inside this Skytech Shadow priced at just $1,099.99, you get an even more contemporary version of the 3060 Ti build I got the ball rolling with. This houses an RTX 4060 Ti, an AMD Ryzen 5-5600X processor, 16GB of DDR4, and a 1TB SSD.

The bonus here? You don't need to be a Prime member to benefit.

Asus ROG Strix G15 | $1,429.99 $999.99 at Amazon

Here's the biggest saving so far - and the first PC under a grand. This one is back on Amazon, and is a Prime-exclusive deal, so you'll need to be an existing member or take out a free trial. 

For just $999.99 down from $1,429.99, you get a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700F, an RTX 3060, 16GB of DDR4, and 1TB of SSD which comes with Windows 11 Home pre-installed on it. 

The G15 is a great line of gaming PCs, and it appears on our best gaming PC list. This isn't as powerful as some of the configurations of the G15 I've seen before, but for (just) under a grand, this is a really great deal. Moreover, it's a whole $100 lower than its previous cheapest-ever price on Amazon.

UK equivalent: Asus ROG Strix G15, RTX 3050, Intel Core i5 | £1,199 £899 at Very

This UK version takes quite a hit in terms of power and storage space, but it's a competitive price. I'd say you can find better for the money this Prime Day, but if it's the G15 you want, this is an option. Luckily, this is a very upgradable machine.

WD Black SN850X 1TB | $159.99 $59.99 at Amazon

Don't forget about components when it comes to Prime Day gaming PC deals! If you're assembling the parts to build your own machine, or you're just looking to get some smaller upgrades since affording a larger purchase amidst cost of living crises is a tall order - I'm looking out for you!

The WD Black SN850X is one of our top SSD recommendations, and it's going seriously, seriously cheap for Prime Day - and that's saying something since all SSDs have been on offer so frequently for the last year. 

This is pretty much as quick as a PCIe gen 4 drive is going to get, and right now you can grab a whole 1TB of space for a ridiculous $59.99. It's also available with a heatsink if you want to grab one for your PS5 as well... I wouldn't blame you at this price. 

UK Equivalent: WD Black SN850X 2TB | £148.44 £108.99 at Amazon

Corsair Vengeance i7400 | $2,699.99 $2,399.99 at Amazon

Time for a new-gen build! Here we have a Corsair i7400 gaming desktop that houses 32GB of some of our favorite DDR5, an RTX 4070 Ti, a 13th gen Intel Core i7-13700K, and a 1TB SSD. 

I'll warn you now, I'm not the biggest fan of the RTX 4070 Ti, and it's unlikely you see me recommend many deals that include one this Prime Day. But I can speak to the quality of the processor here since I'm in the middle of reviewing it in our testing rig. More than that, the case this machine comes in is the 4000D Airflow, which is very popular with PC builders for its serviceability and its natural cooling. 

All in all, it's over $2,000 - that's the catch of a bigger-name brand. That said, it's not bad for all these newer-gen parts lumped together. 

Gigabyte Radeon RX 7600 OC | $279.99 $259.99 at Best Buy

Again, this isn't the biggest saving, but this is a great opportunity to get a brand-new component upgrade for slightly cheaper than it has been until now. We haven't gone hands-on with the Radeon RX 7600 yet, but the RX 7900 XT and XTX are probably my favourite GPUs on the market right now. 

More than that, if you hate the price of Nvidia's GPUs, the choice to go with an AMD card is a vote with your wallet. Don't be afraid, they offer incredible performance for their price, and shouldn't be dismissed as a lesser brand. AMD deserves more credit in the GPU arena in my opinion, and if you're in the market for a new mid-to-low-range graphics card, here's a solid option for $260.

UK equivalent: ASRock Radeon RX 6600 | £249 £209.99 at eBuyer

If you're in the UK, you also have the option to get an AMD GPU for cheaper just now. This is the last-gen version of the same card, this time from ASRock. In my opinion, last-gen AMD GPUs are still every bit as relevant as new ones, especially since they're getting cheaper and cheaper. 

CYBERPOWERPC Centurion | £1,746 £1,677.60 at Amazon

One for UK folks now!

In this CyberPowerPC Centurian, you actually get a pretty beefy machine at what Amazon says is its lowest price in 30 days. Up for grabs is an RTX 3080, 11th Gen Intel Core i9, 16GB of DDR4, 1TB of SSD, and a really nice chassis. All that can be yours for £1,677.60 - which altogether, isn't bad at all. 

I will say that this isn't the best for futureproofing - you won't be able to jump to DDR5 lightspeeds with an 11th Gen processor, even if it is an i9. If that isn't of interest, I can't see why this isn't a solid deal.

Important note though: The Amazon listing says there are only 2 left in stock, so if you like it - hurry hurry! 

Acer Predator Orion 5000 | $2,199 $1,799.99 at Best Buy

I'm back from a dinner break! Here's a lovely Acer Predator Orion deal for those looking for a bit more oomph. 

Inside the beautiful Orion 7000 chassis you get an RTX 3080, 16GB of DDR5, a 12th Gen Intel Core i7, and 1TB of SSD storage. 

With DDR5, this thing is definitely futureproofed, and for under $2,000 I think this is a solid PC deal. Acer only recently refreshed their Orion motherboards to be compatible with DDR5 and the latest Intel CPUs, so you're getting the right version here. Annoyingly, the BIOS doesn't let you enable XMP profiles, which makes the entire DDR5 situation a bit less appealing. Nonetheless, this is a decent price for an RTX 3080 build.

Samsung 990 Pro 1TB | $169.99 $69.99 at Newegg

Another component deal here - this time from Newegg, and it's a shocker! The Samsung 990 Pro is up there with the very fastest Gen 4 SSDs you can get at the moment, but it's typically one of the most expensive, especially since many of its competitors are constantly on sale. 

The 990 Pro is even faster than the very popular 980 Pro, and this 1TB for $69.99deal is absolutely nuts.

YEYIAN Shoge Gaming PC | $1,599 $1,289 at Newegg

To be honest, I'm seeing a lot more new-gen builds than I thought I might this Prime Day. YEYIAN is a brand that always shows its head when sales events come around, particularly via Newegg, where this deal is. 

In this rig you get an Intel Core i5-13400F, an RTX 4070, 16GB of DDR4, a 650W PSU, and 1TB worth of SSD. DDR4 here is a bit of a disappointment, but it'd definitely be possible to upgrade if the motherboard can house a 13th Gen processor. Either way, this is a lovely mid-range tower, and it's at an excellent price too at only $1,289.

Acer Nitro Gaming Desktop | $1,199.99 $689.99 at Newegg

Now I know what you'll be thinking - aren't these supposed to be Prime Day deals? Well, yes. But if other retailers have better options, I'm not going to not showcase them. It's even better when you don't need to be a paying Prime Member to benefit from them!

In any case, this is a beautifully affordable gaming PC that would do perfectly for anyone looking for a cheap rig to use for Starfield. And when I say that, I of course mean PS5 players needing a way to play it without breaking the bank. Yes, an Xbox Series X or S would be cheaper here, but if you want a PC for some other light gaming sessions, and maybe something you can work on too, this would do you right.

You'd get an RTX 3050, 16GB of DDR4, 12th Gen Intel Core i5 (not bad for this price at all), and 1TB of HDD split with 512GB of SSD. pretty decent for under $700. In fact, great for $689.99.

AlphaSync PBA Diamond Gaming PC | £1,099.99 £999.99 at eBuyer

UK buyers, I haven't forgotten you! That's why this next Prime Day gaming PC deal is an AlphaSync from eBuyer that gets you a lovely gaming PC for (just) under a grand. This has an RTX 3060 Ti inside it, as well as an AMD Ryzen 5-5600X CPU and 16GB of RAM. You'll also get the 1TB of SSD storage which, it's nice to see is becoming a really consistent standard for prebuilt gaming PCs. 

All that, and you get it for £999.99. eBuyer is also great because they give you a 3-year warranty and some decent payment plan options too.

Alienware Aurora R15 | $3,549.99 $2,977.49 at Amazon

I've mainly been sticking to affordable lower-to-mid-range builds so far, but occasionally you have to cater to the lucky folks who can afford the beefiest of the beefy. 

We're just about to get a hold of an Aurora R15 for reviewing, but based on our track record of glowing Alienware reviews, this is likely to be a cracker. Plus, it's about time we headed back to Amazon to highlight some actual Prime-exclusive deals. 

This build pulls together the power of an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X CPU (which is excellent for gaming), 32GB of DDR5, 1TB of SSD backed by 2TB of HDD, an Nvidia RTX 4080, and Windows 11 Home. 

It comes at a cost of $2,977.49, so it isn't exactly cheap, but it's one hell of a machine. Just keep in mind Alienware isn't for everyone - they can be a bit marmite thanks to their proprietary limitations. 

Intel Core i7-12700KF | $281.33 $219 at Amazon

Time for another component to take center stage for Prime Day gaming PC deals. This 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700KF CPU is at its lowest price ever on Amazon, so it's well worth a look if you want a new brain for your gaming PC. 

According to the price data we're seeing, its average price on Amazon is still up at $280, which shows you how commonly this drops down this low. 

UK Equivalent: Intel Core i7-12700F | £345.14 £278 at BOX

Skytech Shadow Gaming PC | $999.99 $908 at Amazon

Here's another excellent option for budget buyers. This Skytech shadow contains an Intel Core i5 10th gen (which isn't great, but hey, it's a budget build), an RTX 3050, 1TB of SSD storage, and *shudders* 8GB of DDR4 RAM. 

In all honesty, I'd say 16GB should really be the minimum, but check back soon and I'll hit you with some RAM deals you could use to upgrade this rig. 

Either way, the price is the real highlight here. You get this discounted down from $999.99 to $908.05, but there's a further option to add a $50 coupon (which you should definitely do), and you get it down to a lovely price of $858.05.

This isn't as good as the Acer Nitro I found a few hours back, but it's still an affordable option, and we love those.

ADMI Gaming PC | £729 £699.95 at Amazon

This is a UK budget-buyers build - picture this as the equivalent to that PS5 player's Starfield machine from Newegg in the US. For just £700 you get an RTX 3060 (which is excellent for this price), an AMD Ryzen 5-3600 CPU (which is actually what I was using for a long time, and it's a surprisingly good CPU), 16GB of DDR4 RAM, 1TB of HDD which is backed by 240GB of SSD. 

If I were you, I'd grab a quick SN850X deal and upgrade the storage of this, because it'd be more than worth it with that £60 price tag at the moment. 

Again, you're not getting an award-winning 4K rig here, but you're getting a fair amount of bang for your buck if you can't afford a larger purchase just now. Which is understandable. There's a cost of living crisis happening, you know. 

I've also just realised that the image has a dollar sign as opposed to a GPB symbol. Such is the nature of live reporting. Sue me for clickbait I guess?

Skytech Shiva | $1,449.99 $1,049.99 at Newegg

Heads up - we have a new favorite RTX 3060 Ti build, this time from Newegg, which is continually coming for Bezos's gaming PC piggy bank this Prime Day. 

This Skytech Shiva is cheaper than the iBUYPOWER rig we posted a while ago. It has an RTX 3060 Ti, the same 12th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of DDR4, and 1TB of SSD Storage. Since it's Newegg, you get the same free shipping you would from a Prime deal on Amazon, but it's only $1,049 and you get a $400 saving. 

UK Equivalent: CyberPowerPC Luxe | £1,257 £1,099 at Amazon

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 (16GB) | $77.99 $52.99 at Amazon

I promised a good RAM deal a hot minute ago and then got distracted - so here it is. I forget which PC it was that desperately needed the upgrade from 8GB to 16GB of DDR4, but this kit from Corsair will more than do the trick. Corsair has some of the best RAM modules you can get, and in this deal, you get them cheaper. 

This is a 16GB kit, so two sticks of 8GB, and it has some lovely RGB lighting on the top to make your tower a bit more colourful. All that, and you get it cheaper at only $52.99, not bad at all if you've already splashed out on a budget build. 

UK Equivalent: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro | £74.49 £70.49 at Amazon
Cheaper UK Equivalent: Crucial Pro RAM 32GB Kit | £66.99 £54.99 at Amazon

Sony INZONE H7 | $229.99 $148 at Amazon

Almost time for me to wrap up my live coverage for today since I'm in the UK and it's getting late. Before I go though, here's something a bit different.

The Sony INZONE H7 is probably one of the best gaming headsets I've ever used for PC and PS5, and it's currently going cheaper for Prime Day. Its stand-out feature has to be its simultaneous Bluetooth connectivity, which lets you connect via Bluetooth to a second device while you're wirelessly connected to your gaming PC or PS5. This is a serious game changer and a feature I now miss in every other gaming headset I get to try. 

Let this be your reminder that FOMO shouldn't dictate your bank balance. In the UK at least, there's a dreadful cost of living crisis going on, so just because you can get some gaming PC deals right now, doesn't mean you absolutely have to. If you don't have the money for a new rig, why not go for a smaller quality-of-life update like a headset, mouse, or keyboard?

UK: Sony INZONE H7 | £199 £129 at Amazon

MPG Velox by MSI | $3,699.99 $3,449.99 at Amazon

On the flip side, if you do have the money or you've been working very hard to try and save up, why not spoil yourself on the beefiest hardware you can find? It doesn't get discounted all that often, after all. 

Inside this MPG Velox by MSI is a maxed-out machine ready to tear through any modern game. It has an Intel Core i9-13900KF CPU, an RTX 4090, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, 1TB of SSD storage that's backed up by 3TB of HDD space, and Windows 11 Home. In short, this is a monster.

It comes at a price though - if you can afford the $3,449.99, then shoot for it. Amazon says there are only two left at the time of writing. If stock runs out before you can get to it, try the link below for a similar build. 

Similar US build: YEYEIAN ODACHI | $3,999 $3,499 at Amazon

And with that, I must bid you adieu for now. It's just about midnight here in the UK and even Hardware Editors need their rest. 

I'll be back tomorrow with more Prime Day gaming PC deals, so if you haven't found what you're looking for, be sure to check back again during day 2. 

If there's a component or type of build you're looking for specifically that I haven't covered yet, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter and I can go hunting for you when I log on in the morning. 

All the best deal hunters! Feel free to peruse back at the offers we've found so far. Goodnight!

Skytech Shiva II | $1,699.00 $1,379.99 at Amazon

Complete RTX 4000 systems are anything but cheap, but this RTX 4070 rig with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU is well worth a look. Not only can it boost fps using fancy GPU tricks like DLSS 3, but its white RGB clad case is pretty eye catching. It also boasts an AIO cooler inside, so it's not going to cause a racket while running CPU intensive games. 

If you're caught up on graphics card decisions, you might wanna check out our Nvidia RTX 4070 review before clicking buy, as our benchmarks will help paint somewhat of a performance picture.

Vibox II-96 Gaming PC | £1,009.95 £969.95 at Amazon

And we're back up and running! We've only got a day left to make the most of Prime Day gaming PC deals, so I'll be running you through the best offers still available. Hopefully, we see some more price cuts, and stock levels stay strong. 

To start things off properly again, I'm going to focus on a few UK deals since US shoppers will likely be in bed. 

So here we are. Here's a Vibox II-96 gaming PC available on Amazon with just a small £40 saving, but it gets you an RTX 3060 Ti build for under £1,000. For just £969.95 you get a 10th gen Intel Core i5, 16GB of DDR4 (again, good for the price), and a 1TB SSD. You also get Windows 11 for your troubles, and it looks like a very serviceable chassis, which means you'll likely find it easy enough to upgrade if you fancy a newer processor. 

As an added bonus, it looks as though this is a bundle of sorts - from the image and a footnote on the retail listing, it seems as though you also get a 24-inch 1080p monitor, an RGB mouse, keyboard, gaming headset, and a black mouse mat. If true, that's a pretty massive bundle for the money you pay. 

Samsung 980 Pro 1TB | $79.95 $49.99 at Amazon

We've seen some pretty crazy SSD deals this past year, let alone this Prime Day, but 1TB of Samsung's 980 Pro is nuts even in this current SSD market where everything is cheap. Samsung's drives are some of the best you can get in the Gen 4 arena, and they're typically stubborn in their prices.

In this deal, you get 1TB of space with just a $49.99 asking price. It's also on offer up and down the capacity range, and with or without the heatsink.

UK: Samsung 980 Pro | £92.99 £74 at Amazon

Baseus Steam Deck Dock | $59.99 $31.99 at Amazon

One for our handheld friends! I'm told by my wonderful colleague Phil, who's recently taken over our handheld coverage, that this is one of the Steam Deck Docks they're currently testing, and it's holding up brilliantly. 

In this Prime exclusive deal, you can get a lovely wee discount on it bringing it down to just $31.99 in the US. Unfortunately, it isn't on offer in the UK, but I've linked one of our absolute favorites below that is.

UK: iVoler 6-in-1 Steam Deck Dock | £39.98 £33.98 at Amazon

Intel Core i5-12600K | $209.99 $179 at Amazon

Another circa $30 saving, and this time on a really solid 12th Gen Intel Core i5 processor. This will take you further than you might think when it comes to PC gaming - the latest i5 processors outperform 10th and 11th gen i7 ones, so you don't need to worry about bottlenecking yourself.

Whether you're assembling parts or looking to upgrade, the 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12600K at $179 is a bit of a steal.

UK: Intel Core i5-12600K | £269.99 £237.99 at Amazon

Skytech Azure Gaming PC | $1,999.99 $1,699.99 at Amazon

If you're looking to upgrade to a newer generation of gaming PC, this gets you an RTX 4070 Ti build at the most reasonable price I've seen so far this Prime Day. 

Coming in comfortably under the $2,000 mark, this Skytech Azure gives you a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU, the aforementioned RTX 4070 Ti, 1TB's worth of SSD, 16GB of DDR4, and a 750W PSU if you fancy upgrading some parts later on. There's also a 360mm AIO cooler in here to support temperatures and lots of transparency in the chassis to look in at the beauty of RGB components. 

All that, and it's only $1,699.99 in a Prime exclusive deal. 

UK: AWD 205M Mesh RGB | £1,399.99 £1,299.99 at AWD

As for UK buyers, this AWD build is super affordable and gets you a pretty substantial CPU at the same time as the RTX 4070 Ti. You also have the choice to customize the build a bit to your liking.

Acer Nitro Gaming Desktop | $1,199.99 $689.99 at Newegg

Just giving another spotlight to this excellent budget build from Newegg. If you're a PS5 player looking for a machine to play Starfield and a few other PC games on, I don't blame you. What you need is a strong budget gaming PC that can handle some 1080p performance in modern games - but the important thing is to not break the bank. 

Yes, you'd be cheaper going with an Xbox, but if you want a PC you can use for work, content creation, or whatever else, an entry-level gaming PC like this Acer Nitro is perfect.

So, for just $689 you get an RTX 3050, a 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12400F, 16GB of DDR4, and 1TB of HDD that's backed by 512GB of SSD. Personally, I think the only thing you'd really benefit from upgrading here is the SSD storage since it'll help to cut down loading times for more games. If you're up for that too - jump on that 1TB Samsung 980 Pro deal I posted not too long ago.

UK Equivalent: ADMI Gaming PC | £729.99 £699.95 at Amazon

MSI Gaming Desktop Codex R | $1,099 $989.99 at Newegg

Sticking with Newegg, there's an excellent MSI gaming desktop that's clearly been selling very well because it's now on backorder. The retailer is still accepting new orders even though it's technically out of stock, though. So since you can still make the most of the deal price, I figure it's worth shouting out. 

This has a 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13400F CPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, 1TB of SSD storage, and an RTX 4060, and it's somehow under a grand. This really is an excellent price for what is an entirely new-gen and up-to-date rig. You also get Newegg's free shipping and Windows 11 Home, which I feel like I'm omitting in a lot of these deal spotlights, but it's pretty standard on prebuilt gaming PCs. 

All that, and it's yours for $989.99 with a $109.01 saving. It's not even like you'll need to upgrade anything either - this is a cracking deal on an MSI build.

Gigabyte Radeon RX 6600 Eagle | $259.99 $179.99 at Newegg

Speaking of Starfield, have you heard that AMD has been named as the game's official partner when it comes to PCs and components? That means you can now get Starfield Standard Edition at no extra cost when you buy certain AMD GPUs, which is not a bad bargain whatsoever. 

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 is one of the best budget graphics cards you can get, and it's a total steal at Newegg right now. Don't worry that it isn't the latest generation either, in my opinion, the Radeon RX 6000 series is as viable as ever, and they're some of the most affordable video cards on the shelves. 

Here, you can get the Gigabyte Eagle version which has 8GB of VRAM as well as that free gift voucher for Starfield Standard Edition worth $70. All that, and the entire bundle will only cost you $179.99. Not bad at all for a really solid 1080p and light 1440p performer that gives the RTX 3060 a run for its money.

UK: PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 6600 + Starfield Standard Edition Code | £379.99 £219.98 at Scan

Corsair iCUE ML120 RGB Elite Fans | $64.99 $49.99 at Newegg

I swear we'll head to other retailers soon, but Newegg has some excellent deals to be had via its FantasTech sale at the moment which is seriously giving Prime Day a run for its money in the gaming PC and components department. 

Here we have a lovely set of Corsair iCUE 120mm RGB fans that are seeing a $15 saving at the moment. Luckily these come with an RGB iCUE hub that makes them much easier to control - without routing the RBG connectors through that they'll just glow a plain white or sometimes random RGB pulsing colours. 

Either way, if you're in need of some more fans for your PC, these will do the trick. Although, if you're working in an ITX case, make sure these will fit before buying.

TEAM T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 (32GB) | $99.99 $84.99 at Newegg

Ok, so I lied. This is the last Newegg deal before we go elsewhere. 

If you're yet to make the leap to DDR5 RAM and both your motherboard and CPU can handle it, what are you waiting for? This 32GB kit (2x16GB) is just what you want. It can reach up to a quoted 6000MHz, and it's only $84.99 at Newegg right now.

DDR5 is definitely starting to get more affordable, and in my opinion, it's worth it. Even if you don't have the best GPU, I've found that enabling XMP with DDR5 sticks can give you a noticeable performance boost while playing games. 

Plus, it's an added bonus that these two 16GB sticks both have RGB strips on the top, which will shine beautifully in that neon monster you're putting together. That RGB lighting will help with your gaming performance too, don't you know.

UK: Crucial Pro DDR5 RAM (32GB) | £87.52 £73.64 at Amazon

HP Omen 40L | $1,649.99 $1,149.99 at Best Buy

Apologies for the slight stall there - it is actually surprisingly difficult to find Prime Day gaming PC deals with a GPU in it that isn't the RTX 3060 or 3060 Ti. It's quite crazy how many rigs are on offer right now with either one of those graphics cards - definitely more than expected. 

After a quick browse through Amazon's wares, nothing was screaming out to me as a better deal than the ones linked up top. But for an RTX 3070 build, there's an HP Omen 40L rig at Best Buy ready and waiting for some shoppers looking for mid-range specs.

For just $1,149.99, this HP Omen with an RTX 3070 can be yours. It also makes use of an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU, 16GB of HyperX DDR4 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The HP Omen is one of our favourite prebuilt product lines, and the 40L series is where it maxes out, so you're getting the room for even higher specs if you want to upgrade later. 

The 40L HP Omens have been refreshed to take on DDR5 and newer CPUs, but if that's of interest to you, maybe dig around in the specs section of Best Buy's retail page to see if this build is one of those refreshed versions. If not, you're still getting a really handy gaming PC deal here.

CyberpowerPC Gamer Supreme | $2,629.99 $2,449.99 at Amazon

Like it or not, anything with an Nvidia RTX 4080 inside isn't going to be cheap. However, if you've made peace with that fact and are looking to pick up a high-spec GeForce rig, this CyberpowerPC machine should do the trick. 

Accompanying its Lovelace GPU is Intel Core i7-13700KF CPU, 16GB DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD, so it's nice to see CyberpowerPC hasn't skimped on other components. For $2,449.99, you'll get a build that can handle 4K with settings cranked up high, and you'll be able to boost fps even further using features like DLSS 3. 

Admittedly, gaming PC prices over the $2,000 mark make me squirm a little, but you'll struggle to find a rig of this calibre for less. That's largely due to the fact just the graphics card itself will set you back at least $1.199, so you can see where a lot of the cost comes from.
