Prime Day PC deals are officially coming back next week, but the early offers from competing retailers are already here. Whether it's Newegg celebrating the fourth of July, UK builders jumping the gun, or older rigs costing a bit less, now is a great time to buy. I've rounded up all the best gaming PCs in the UK and US down below, and I'll be updating this page as and when I find more.

Prime Day gaming deals bring us some great prices on hardware every summer. We know July is confirmed for the event to return this year, but we don't have a cemented date. Luckily, that still gives us plenty of time to prepare and shift some funds around. For buying prebuilt gaming PCs, events like these can be great. In the last year or so, I've covered plenty of these big seasonal sales, and I've watched the price of 40 Series gaming PCs plummet. Getting components at MSRP can be tricky, but you can find decent value PCs at solid prices these days.

As we get closer to July, I'll be keeping this page updated with all the details and expectations you should know. If you're in a hurry, I've provided some quick links to the go-to retailers I always check first right below this. For the solid deals I've seen already, I've highlighted them to tell you more about them.

MSI Codex R2 | $949.99 $859.99 at Best Buy
Save $90 - If you don't need the absolute latest series of GPus from Nvidia, the RTX 4060 is still really viable, and in this rig, you get it paired with a 14th Gen Intel processor and 16GB of DDR5 RAM, which most 5060 builds are leaving out to bring down costs.

Specs: RTX 4060, Intel Core i5-14400F, 1TB SSD, 16GB of DDR5

Buy it if:

✅ You want DDR5 out of the box
✅ You want great entry-level specs

Stormcraft Gaming PC Scorpio | $1,099.99 $899.99 at Newegg
Save $200 - For a brand new RTX 5060 build, this is a really great price to pay. You also get a 14th-generation Intel processor. The big drawback here? You get 32GB of RAM, but it's DDR4.

Specs: RTX 5060, Intel Core i5-14400F, 1TB SSD, 32GB of DDR4, 650W PSU

Buy it if:

Skytech Azure | $1,899.99 $1,329.99 at Amazon
Save $570 - I'll say it; there's no reason an RTX 5060 Ti build should be up at $1,899 to begin with, but it doesn't matter when it's reduced to $1,329. If you want a bit more beef for your money, the Ryzen 7 and 5060 Ti here will take you a long way.

Specs: RTX 5060 Ti, AMD Ryzen 7 7700, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD

Buy it if:

✅ You want a great mid-range set of specs

MSI Gaming Desktop R2 | $1,699.99 $1,449 at Newegg

Skytech Azure + 27-inch Gaming Monitor | $1,699.99 $1,449 at Newegg

Specs: RTX 5060 Ti, AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32GB of DDR5, 2TB SSD

Buy it if:

AVGPC Whirlwind Gaming PC | $1,999 $1,899 at Newegg
Save $100 - If you've been swept up in the RX 9070 craze in the last few months, I don't blame you. This PC takes the 9070XT and a load of other high-end features and brings them in under a $2,000 price tag. This is an excellent early deal.

Specs: Radeon RX 9070XT, AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, 32GB of DDR5, 1TB SSD, 360 AIO cooler

Buy it if:

✅ You feel burned by fake frames
✅ You want liquid cooling

❌ Your main games rely on DLSS
❌ You don't need 16GB of VRAM

Skytech Legacy gaming PC + 32-inch gaming monitor | $3,699.99 $2,699.99 at Newegg
Save $1,000 - This is a pretty massive saving on a high-end rig for this early before Prime Day. Not only do you get a very beefy set of components to play with here, but you also get a free 32-inch QHD gaming monitor with a 165Hz refresh rate. That'll be easy to max out with the RTX 5080 inside this machine.

Specs: RTX 5080, AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 1TB SSD, 32GB of DDR5, 360mm AIO

UK Deals:

MSI MAG Infinite E1£799£649 at CurrysSave £150

MSI MAG Infinite E1 | £799 £649 at Currys
Save £150 - It might seem slightly silly recommending an RTX 3050 build in 2025, but I've been in the position of trying to find a gaming PC on a seriously tight budget, and at this price, it can be difficult to find anything with futureproofing, let alone a graphics card. The other specs in this machine are seriously futureproofed for the price, so I'd absolutely recommend this to anyone on a tight budget.

Specs: RTX 3050, Intel Core i5-14400F, 16GB of DDR5, 1TB SSD

Buy it if:

✅ You're on a tight budget
✅ You're happy with a GPU that's two generations old
✅ You don't have 4K ambitions

Don't buy it if:

❌ You don't want to have to upgrade GPU later
❌ You have the money for something more powerful

OcUK Gaming Carbide£949£899 at OverclockersUKSave £50

OcUK Gaming Carbide | £949 £899 at OverclockersUK
Save £50 - This saving isn't massive, but you're getting an RTX 4060 build under a grand, which isn't proving easy to find right now. Annoyingly, you do only get DDR4 RAM out of the box, but this is a platform you'll be able to upgrade to DDR5 as time goes on.

Specs: RTX 4060, Intel Core i5-12400F, 16GB of DDR4, 1TB SSD

Buy it if:

✅ You have a budget of a grand
✅ You don't mind having to upgrade parts later
✅ You're happy with DDR4 for now

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want more up-to-date specs
❌ Liquid cooling is a must

Refract Jade PC£1,499£1,299 at OverclockersUKSave £50

Refract Jade PC | £1,499 £1,299 at OverclockersUK
Save £50 - One of my favorite mid-range gaming PCs is discounted at Overclockers, and although it's now a generation behind in terms of its GPU, it's still well worth the investment. It's also an AM5 motherboard, which means there's plenty of room to upgrade the processor later.

Specs: RTX 4060 Ti, AMD Ryzen 7 7700, 32GB of DDR5, 1TB SSD

Buy it if:

✅ You want a great mid-range PC
✅ You want solid 1080p/1440p performance

PC Specialist Eclipse G70I | £2,056 £1,899 at PC Specialist
Save £157 - If you're looking for something a little higher end with new components, this rig from PC Specialist has a lot to offer. Ideally, we'll see lower prices for these specs when Prime Day properly arrives, but this is still a fairly hefty discount.

Specs: RTX 5070 Ti, Intel Core i7-14700KF, 32GB of DDR5, 2TB SSD

Buy it if:

✅ You want 4K playing power
✅ You need an up-to-date GPU
✅ You're happy to spend a little more

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want liquid cooling for the money
❌ You want a really quick SSD

CyberPowerPC Ultra R77 Elite Gaming PC | £1,963 £1,874 at CyberPowerPC
Save £89 - You don't get a huge saving here, but my goodness, is there a lot of power under the hood for under £2,000. The 9800X3D processor can do a lot of heavy lifting, and the 9070XT is going to give you a lot of native performance.

Specs: Radeon RX 9070 XT, AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 32GB of DDR5, 2TB SSD

Buy it if:

✅ You want 4K power
✅ You don't want to compromise on settings

Prime Day PC deals: FAQ

When will Prime Day PC deals start?

Prime Day PC deals roll around every July, and we have confirmation now that Prime Day 2025 will be a four-day event, starting July 7, following through to the 11th. Early bird offers will likely come in Early July, either way, so mark your calendars.

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.

You will likely need to be a registered Prime member in order to benefit from this year's sale, but there are ways around paying for it. If you sign up for a free 30-day trial today, you'll be covered for the big event. Just be sure to cancel before it renews into a fully paid subscription.

What to expect from Prime Day gaming PC deals in 2025

It may sound silly, but the best gaming PC deals from these big Prime Day events almost always come from the likes of Newegg and Best Buy. Walmart is also known to throw out some good deals, but Newegg in particular is famous for running its own sales events at the same time as Prime Day. That isn't to say Amazon itself won't have good deals, just that it's worth keeping your sights set on broader retailers.

We always see PCs on the entry level of the gaming spec sheet get brought down to more reasonable prices, so if you've got a budget under a grand, there's no reason you won't be able to pick up a decent gaming rig. Here's a closer look at what specs to look for up and down the price range. These are more of a reference for 40 Series Nvidia machines, mainly because while the 50 Series is now available, the prices for them are brand new and are much harder to pin down into a specific bracket. In our eyes, these prices should be used as a minimum or loose guide when you shop around.

Budget-friendly gaming PCs

Price: $800-$1,000

GPU: RTX 4060 / AMD Radeon RX 7600 / RTX 3060
CPU: Intel Core i5-12600KF / AMD Ryzen 5 7600 / AMD Ryzen 7 5600
Memory: 16GB of DDR5 / 32GB of DDR4 (aim for DDR5)
Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD

Mid-range value gaming PCs

Price: $1,200 - $2,100

GPU: RTX 4070 / AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT / Intel Arc A770
CPU: Intel Core i5-13600K / Intel Core i7-13700K / AMD Ryzen 5 6700X3D
Memory: 16/32GB of DDR5
Storage: 1-2TB NVMe SSD

Enthusiast gaming PCs

Price: $2,100 and up

(go for no less than these specs for this money)
GPU: RTX 4070 Ti / AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT / RTX 3080
CPU: Intel Core i9-13900K / AMD Ryzen 9 7900
Memory: 32GB of DDR5
Storage: 2TB of NVMe SSD

It's worth noting that if those price ranges seem broad, it's because your mileage can vary depending on the brand of PC, the retailer you buy from, and what components make up each build.

For the entry-level range, you're probably looking at iBuyPower, IPASON, CyberPowerPC, and other smaller brands found on Newegg and Amazon for this sort of deal. These are very worth considering if you're buying your first gaming PC or need to upgrade to newer-gen parts.

Elsewhere, we're likely to see brands like ASUS, Alienware, HP, and Acer pull deals out of the Prime Day hat. These configurations can vary, and we usually see discounts from the mid-range bracket all the way through to expensive high-end monsters.

To sound like a broken record, just keep our gaming PC golden rule in mind. Think about futureproofing, because you don't want to get a year or two down the road and realize you can't make the awesome component upgrade you'd like to because your motherboard is locked into an older generation.

What to expect from Prime Day PC component deals

CPU deals: As we head toward the summer sale, CPU deals are going to seem very enticing. We have so many DDR5-compatible processors on the shelves now, and since Intel has had a bit of a PR crisis to deal with in the last year, I'd be willing to bet that low, low prices will be on the cards for its Core Ultra series, as well as its much more accessible 13th and 14th gen options.

The 13th and 14th generations from Intel are worth watching, mainly because they're older but still offer great performance compared to the newer Intel Core Ultra series, which requires a different motherboard socket.

With AMD, we're always going to be looking at prices that undercut the competition. The Ryzen 7000 series could see some new low price drops, and I'd expect the 9000 Series to get really competitive in terms of pricing. In fact, this might be your best chance yet to grab an X3D processor, particularly the newer ones that dropped after the 9000 Series.

Of course, the staple for any online sales event is the Ryzen 5000 Series, which has to be the go-to for any budget PC builder out there. Again, we would recommend grabbing DDR5-compatible parts wherever possible, but the 5000 Series is still so capable if you're building a starter PC and you want to spend as little as possible. Particularly alluring are the latest chips in this family, which AMD launched more of this year alongside the Ryzen 9000 Series.

Prime day GPU deals: We've seen the arrival of the Nvidia RTX 50 Series GPUs this year, as well as the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070XT. Prime Day might be your first opportunity to get some of these cards at their genuine MSRPs, since inflation has already hit a number of them and made it hard to find them for reasonable prices.

As we've been seeing throughout the year though, some of the best value ways to get hold of these is actually in prebuilt machines - if you require more than one upgrade, anyway.

The RTX 40 series is definitely going to be more affordable during Prime Day now that they all have younger alternatives on the shelves. If stock isn't an issue, these are maybe the ones you should aim for if you haven't upgraded your GPU in a number of years.

On the AMD side of things, the 9070 and 9070XT have proven very popular, especially since they offer more native performance over the Nvidia cards they're competing with. During Prime Day, I'd expect to see some decent prices if the stock can hold. Alternatively, you could opt for on of the RX 7000 series GPUs, which are still excellent, and provide brilliant value for money in the current market. We've been seeing prices for the 7900 XTX get lower of late, and if you're keen on that powerhouse of a graphics card, it's worth waiting til Prime Day to see just how much value you can squeeze out of a purchase. The 7600 XT could see some seriously competitive deal offerings since it sits nearer the lower end of the spectrum. There are also price discrepancies between the 7800XT and 7900 GRE that could get interesting in the 1440p/4K battle with Nvidia.

Memory: To sound like a broken record, Prime Day and Black Friday have to be the best time to grab DDR5 RAM. It's only going to continue getting cheaper, and we're beginning to see more 32GB kits go for around $100, which we'd recommend.

DDR4 will be available for super cheap prices, but again, futureproofing is worth the extra money here.

SSDs: The golden price bracket you should shoot for is $60 for 1TB and $100 for 2TB. If you can get as close to those numbers as possible, you'll be grabbing a great deal. Unfortunately, SSD prices have inflated in recent years, meaning it can be harder to find drives at these ends of the price scale. Think of that as the target, and shoot as close as you can for them. At the same time, look out for dodgy price history details, because retailers like to make original prices seem higher than they are to make a deal more appealing.

If the big brands fail you, though, we've been predominantly testing budget brands in the last year to prepare for these bigger sales events so we can still recommend decent options for fair prices.


Peripherals are an important part of any PC gaming setup, so ensure you've got the best gaming keyboard, best gaming mouse, and best gaming desk at the helm, too.

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.
