I will admit that when Prime Day was just starting to roll around I was skeptical about whether, in the current economic climate, there would actually be any Prime Day PC gaming hardware deals that were really that good. I knew there would be discounts, but I was wondering whether we might just get some token offerings from Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy and the like.

But actually, there have been some really stellar gaming deals that are absolutely worth shouting about. Now, obviously, none of the best discounts are to be found on memory or SSDs, you can thank AI for that. Bloody AI. Hoovering up memory chips like they're goddam M&Ms.

Anyways, not everything has been brutalised by the AI bros.' obsession with not having humans do stuff anymore and so there are still some products out there for prices that are almost in the must-buy category. In reality, there can be no such category for everyone—our budgets and needs will always be different—but these are the products where, if you were in the market for something in that area, they ought to be top of the list.

In these RAMpocalypse-infested times, you have to sacrifice something to get a good gaming laptop at an affordable price, and in this case, it's the GPU's power limit—just 85 W, which lowers the chip's full capabilities. At least everything else is nice for the money, and it's plenty skinny. This is the cheapest RTX 5070 machine I can find right now I'd buy with my own cash, and a pretty sweet deal when most of the competition is ranging around the $1,500 mark.

It's a surprisingly big discount on a pretty recently released headset and one that sits at the top of our best gaming headset guide for a reason. It's superbly comfortable, the harmonic plug-enhanced drivers sound great for music and gaming alike, and it's pretty much everything we want a gaming headset to be. It might go cheaper over the course of the event, but even at full price, it's well worth paying for.

Dave has been gaming since the days of Zaxxon and Lady Bug on the Colecovision, and code books for the Commodore Vic 20 (Death Race 2000!). He built his first gaming PC at the tender age of 16, and finally finished bug-fixing the Cyrix-based system around a year later. When he dropped it out of the window. He first started writing for Official PlayStation Magazine and Xbox World many decades ago, then moved onto PC Format full-time, then PC Gamer, TechRadar, and T3 among others. Now he's back, writing about the nightmarish graphics card market, CPUs with more cores than sense, gaming laptops hotter than the sun, and SSDs more capacious than a Cybertruck.
