The 8 Prime Day deals so good they make it hard to recommend anything else

1. Asus TUF A16 | Ryzen 7 7735HS | Radeon RX 7700S | 16-inch | 1200p | 165 Hz | 16 GB DDR5-4800 | 512 GB SSD | $1,099.99 $699.99 at Best Buy (save $400)
The 512 GB SSD is the main drawback to this budget gaming laptop. At just $700 it's a great price for a machine that will generally outperform an RTX 4060-based laptop. And there's a second M.2 slot inside for you to add an SSD! The Ryzen CPU is an eight-core, 16-thread job, and the Radeon chip will run games effectively as long as you're not after ray tracing.

2. Dell G15 | Ryzen 7 7840HS | RTX 4060 | 15-inch | 165 Hz | 1080p | 16 GB DDR5-4800 | 512 GB SSD | $1,099.99 $849.99 at Dell (save $250)
The cheapest decent RTX 4060 gaming laptop from this sale. Again there's the drawback of a 512GB SSD, but otherwise the spec makes for an excellent budget gaming laptop that will absolutely deliver on the 165 Hz 1080p screen it comes with.

3. Lexar NM790 | 1 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,400 MB/s read | 6,500 MB/s write | $99.99 $74.99 at Amazon (save $25)
For anyone looking for a cheap, spacious drive offering serious performance, here you're getting a genuinely brilliant SSD for the money, and you can see this for yourself with our review of the 4 TB version.

4. ASRock Phantom PG27Q15R2A | 27-inch | 165Hz | 1440p | VA | FreeSync Premium | $239.99 $156.77 at Newegg (save $83.22)
ASRock's gaming monitors are always so darned cheap—we love them for that. This 1440p panel offers resolution and a rapid refresh rate for a potent PC gaming combo, though the built-in Wi-Fi antenna is unique. That's hardly essential, but could come in use for some.

5. MSI MAG 321UP | 32-inch | 165 Hz | QD-OLED | $829.99 $774.12 at Amazon (save $55.87)
The difference between this MAG 321UP and the MAG321UPX is the this one has a 165 Hz refresh instead of 240 Hz. That's the only difference between this and a more expensive OLED. It's still 4K, high refresh, and freakin' OLED. This is where the smart money is spent.

6. Corsair TC 100 Relaxed gaming chair | Fabric | Black | Lumbar pillow | 2D armrests | $249.99 $199.99 at Newegg (save $50 with code FTT224DX7248)
The best budget gaming chair. It's a comfortable throne on which to snap headshots in Valorant or romance Gale in Baldur's Gate 3. It's pretty easy to put together and surprisingly plush for the money. It's also available in a black leatherette.

Price check: Amazon $219.99 | Corsair $219.99

7. Lenovo Legion Tower 5 Gen 8 | Ryzen 7 7700 | RTX 4070 Ti Super | 32 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSD | $1,599.99 at Newegg
We're seeing some fantastic prices for RTX 4070 Ti rigs at the moment. Compared to some comparable systems on sale, this one wins out with 32 GB of RAM and a 7700X, making for a balanced but still affordable system that will be as good at everyday productivity as gaming. Assuming you could pull yourself away from the kinds of frames that 4070 Ti Super will be spitting out, anyway.

8. Yeyian Yumi  | Ryzen 5 5600X | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,199 $799.99 at Newegg (save $399.01)
The Yumi is a bit of a classic when it comes to gaming PC deals. At the moment this is the cheapest RTX 4060-based PC we've found, and comes with a supporting spec that is absolutely solid, even if it's not the latest and greatest. DDR4 RAM and a previous-gen Ryzen 5 might not be top-end, but this machine will still deliver great performance for under a grand.
