Best Memorial Day PC gaming deals in 2024

Steam Deck (original) | 256GB SSD | Refurbished | $399 at Steam
Okay, the Steam Deck may have had an OLED refresh but the original version is still the archetype of what a mobile PC gaming device should be. It's just as powerful as the most recent model so all those Steam Deck compatible games should run well. It's also well worth considering picking up a storage upgrade like the 1TB Lexar Play for extra capacity on the cheap. Still, It's the OG PC gaming handheld, and it demands respect.

Dell G15 | RTX 4050 | Ryzen 7 7840HS | 15-inch | 1080p | 165 Hz | 16GB DDR5-4800 | 512GB SSD | $1,049.99 $749.99 at Dell (save $250)
Dell's angular chassis definitely feels like it's had some Alienware influence on it, but it is quite a bezel-happy thing. Still, you are getting a decent spec for a decent sub-$800 price. That includes an RTX 4050 that will certainly do a job with the 1080p display. But it's a slick 165 Hz panel, and you're getting a full 16GB of dual-channel DDR5, though only a 512GB SSD. Overall, it's a smart little package of laptop goodness.

Yeyian Yumi  | Core i5 12400F | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 16GB DDR4-3200 | 1TB SSD | $1,199.99 $799 at Newegg (save $400)
The Yumi is a bit of a classic when it comes to gaming PC deals, as it's always there or thereabouts. 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. The combo of Alder Lake Core i5 and DDR4 memory means you still get the capacity, and a healthy core count, but without the expense of the very latest hybrid Intel chips or pricier DDR5 memory. And gaming performance will vary very little.

Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQA1A | 27-inch | 1440p | VA | $199.99 at Newegg
For the budget-conscious gamer, Asus makes a mean gaming monitor. This screen may be on the cheaper side, even costing less than some 1080p panels, yet it delivers 1440p res gaming with a 170Hz refresh rate (overclocked). Not too shabby.

MSI RTX 4060 | 8GB GDDR6 | 3,072 shaders | 2,490 MHz | $293 at Walmart
If you must have Ada Lovelace, Nvidia's latest gaming architecture, the cheapest way in is this RTX 4060. Faster than the RTX 3060 but the price suggests it should have been better. You do get the full DLSS 3.5 suite, though, and it's pretty decent at encoding video for streaming.

XFX Radeon RX 7900 GRE | 16GB GDDR6 | 5,120 shaders | 2,333 MHz boost | $549.99 $540.99 at Best Buy (save $9)
The RX 7900 XT is one of the more recent releases out of AMD, at least in the global market. It started out as a special edition for the Chinese gaming market, but it was rolled out globally to help the red team compete with the green guys. It's a good deal, too, being big chunks of the RX 7900 XT but with a bit less of everything. It's pretty much MSRP everywhere, but occasionally dips under with a small discount.

Acer Predator 14 | RTX 4070 | Core i7 13700H | 14-inch | 250Hz | 1600p | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | $1,999.99 $1,299.99 at Amazon (save $700)
It's not the prettiest gaming laptop you'll ever see but underneath the cheap-looking exterior is a pile of really nice hardware. That Intel CPU has 14 cores, 20 threads, and the GPU is a 140W RTX 4070. Backing them up are 16GB of DDR5 RAM and, unusually for this price, a full 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD. Even the 2560 x 1600 screen is good, with a 250Hz refresh rate and mini-LED backlighting. There's very little to dislike here and it'll be down to whether the lightweight nature or 14-inch panel just aren't right for you.

MSI G321CU | 32-inch | 4K | 144Hz | VA | $419.99 at Amazon
Sub $500 4K 32-inch high refresh monitors have remained frustratingly rare. But here's one at Amazon from MSI for $420! Arguably, 4K makes more sense in the larger 32-inch format than, say, 27 inches. Inevitably, this is a VA not IPS model. But it's still rated at 1ms so the response should be at least reasonable.

Alienware 34 AW3423DWF | 34-inch | 165Hz | QD-OLED | $799 at Dell
Alienware's fancy QD-OLED panel is still one of the best OLED gaming monitor deals. Think of it as a long term investment that will make every single gaming session pop. Once you've experienced per-pixel OLED-style lighting, you won't want to go back to LCD tech. You can read our Alienware QD-OLED review for more.

Acer Predator Helios 16 | RTX 4080 | Core i9 13900HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 240 Hz | 32GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | $2,299 $1,799 at B&H Photo (save $500)
Acer's Helios 16 has proved one of our favorite 16-inch gaming laptops of the last generation, and this RTX 4080-powered device is a great price at around the $2,000 mark. Sadly, this isn't the mini-LED version we loved so well in our review, but it's still got a great IPS panel that is able to hit pretty high brightness levels and at a great refresh rate, too.

ASRock RX 6600 | 8GB GDDR6 | 1,792 shaders | 2,491 MHz | $199.99 $189.99 at Newegg (save $10)
The RX 6600 is a quality 1080p GPU now that its price properly reflects its status. At the sub-$200 point, we're getting a budget graphics card that delivers high frame rates in the latest games at top 1080p graphics presets. PC gaming doesn't have to cost a fortune, you know?

ASRock Challenge Arc A750 | 8GB GDDR6 | 3,584 shaders | 2,400 MHz boost| $199.99 at Newegg
The Intel discrete graphics cards have only gotten more relevant since their inauspicious launch. With successive driver releases increasing performance and now a significant price drop, the A750 is now one of the most tempting budget GPUs around. It's a bit more power hungry than AMD's RX 6600 but is a super capable 1080p card knocking both RTX 3050 and RTX 3060 out of the value GPU stakes.

With stock of the RX 6600 XT starting to dwindle it seems like the faster RX 6650 XT is taking its place as one of the best budget GPUs around. It's an 8GB GPU, with effectively the same core specs as the RX 6600 XT, but with a little higher clock speed boost.

XFX RX 7600 | 8GB GDDR6 | 2,048 shaders | 2,755 MHz | $259.99 at Newegg
As the budget baby of the RDNA 3 family, the RX 7600 faces a lot of competition. Not just from Intel and Nvidia, but from AMD's previous generation of cards too. At this price, though, its quite a bit cheaper than the RX 6700 XT and in some games, it performs nearly as well. Not the most exciting of graphics cards, though.

ASRock Challenger Arc A770 | 16GB GDDR6 | 4,096 shaders | $279.99 at Newegg
You can score a whole heap of memory here for under $300. Admittedly, the rest of the Intel card isn't quite up to par with the competition from AMD and Nvidia in terms of consistency of performance. But if you need lots of memory for other reasons, this is the way to go.

MSI RTX 4060 | 8GB GDDR6 | 3,072 shaders | 2,490 MHz | $314.99 $293 at Newegg (save $21.99)

Coming in at the same price as the plain ol' RX 6700 XT (which happens infrequently), this version comes with higher core and memory clocks. That generally makes for higher frame rates in games, though that does depend on what you're playing. It's worth a look, especially for all that speedy VRAM.

XFX SPEEDSTER RX 6800 | 16GB GDDR6 | 3840 shaders | 2,190 MHz boost | $359.99 at Walmart
This graphic card was launched over three years ago but it's still very potent, especially if you're after at ultra-high fps in 1080p shooter games. It has bags of VRAM on a wide memory bus, backed up with mountains of cache. Makes the 8GB GPUs look miserly in comparison.

ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 7700 XT | 12GB GDDR6 | 3072 shaders | 2,584 MHz boost | $399.99 $379.99 at Newegg (save $20)
The Radeon RX 7700 XT might lose out to its bigger brother, but if you're building a system on a budget it still makes a great mid-range card for solid 1440p gaming, as we found in our review of the Sapphire model. This one's also a nice solid triple fan design, so should run cool and quiet.

ASRock RX 7800 XT| 16GB GDDR6 | 3,840 shaders | 2,475 MHz boost | $519.99 $479.99 at Newegg (save $40)
At this price point, the best card to get used to be the 6800 XT but now we're starting to see deals like this one, where the newer 7800 XT has the same price tag. It's only a little bit faster than the card it's replaced, and admittedly it's pretty much at MSRP, but you're still getting a lotta GPU for the money.

Galax RTX 4070 | 12GB GDDR6X | 5,888 shaders | 2,490 MHz boost | $699.99 $529.97 at Amazon (save $170.02)
The RTX 4070 is a popular card and can be difficult to find at discount, but it's important to remember that this price is cheaper than it was at launch. You're getting nearly RTX 3080 performance but with all those nice RTX 40 features. This Galax model uses the traditional 8-pin PCIe power connector, rather than the new 12VHPWR one, which makes it far easier to install as an upgrade.

Zotac RTX 4070 Super | 12GB GDDR6X | 7,1688 shaders | 2,475 MHz boost | $589.99 at Newegg
The RTX 4070 Super has only just launched, so you won't see any discounts for a good while yet. Is it worth $50 more than the regular RTX 4070 and $100 more than the RX 7800 XT? Tricky to answer, so check out the benchmarks in our RTX 4070 Super review to see if it's the right choice for you. There's little else to choose from at this price, but at least you can get them at MSRP.

Sapphire RX 7900 XT | 20GB GDDR6 | 5,376 shaders | 2,450 MHz boost | $699.99 at Newegg
Seeing a bunch of RX 7900 XTs selling for well less than the original MSRP is a welcome sight, and while they might get overshadowed by some of Nvidia's greatest, they deliver a huge amount of performance. What we like about the ASRock in particular is that it should run quieter than your average RX 7900 XT. We all could do with a little less noise from our PC.

Just like the RTX 4070 Super, the RTX 4070 Ti Super is a new model, so discounts aren't to be found anywhere yet. Just think of it as an RTX 4070 Ti selling at its original MSRP, but with more VRAM and a small, but handy, performance boost. This Zotac model is as solid as they come and you really shouldn't be paying more than this price for any other version.

Just like with the RTX 4080, it's hard to find AMD's RX 7900 XTX discounted down below its MSRP price. But good deals can be found and we'll happily take any money knocked off the price of a high-end GPU. The Radeon RX 7900 XTX is stupidly fast and there are plenty of good cooling designs for this card, including this one.

PNY RTX 4080 Super | 16GB GDDR6 | 10,240 CUDA Cores | 2,565 MHz boost | $999.99 at Walmart
While Nvidia's replacement for the RTX 4080 is only a little bit faster, the MSRP of the RTX 4080 Super is a fair bit lower at $999. We've found just one card at that sorta price today, however. That's this PNY, which should be a pretty cool and quiet card.

RTX 4090 pricing is still silly money, but at least with this card you're getting MSRP-like prices, and it's a chonky , slightly overclocked edition, too. What with all the export ban nonsense, the RTX 4090 was way up over $2,000 for a time. Now it's back down to something vaguely sane. And it's still by far the fastest graphics card on the planet. Or off it, for that matter.

NXS gaming desktop | AMD Ryzen 5 5600G | 16GB DDR4-3600 | 512GB NVMe SSD | $419 at Newegg
You can game on this machine to a certain extent—the integrated Vega GPU on the Ryzen chip will certainly support 720p gaming at lower settings. But we're listing it here as a good base from which to add your own graphics card for a quick new gaming PC on a tight budget. The AMD CPU is a good six-core, 12-thread job, and the 16GB RAM will run everything you need.

Yeyian Yumi  | Core i5 12400F | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 16GB DDR4-3200 | 1TB SSD | $1,199.99 $799 at Newegg (save $370.99)
The Yumi is a bit of a classic when it comes to gaming PC deals, as it's always there or thereabouts. 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. The combo of Alder Lake Core i5 and DDR4 memory means you still get the capacity, and a healthy core count, but without the expense of the very latest hybrid Intel chips or pricier DDR5 memory. And gaming performance will vary very little.

Ipason gaming desktop | Ryzen 5 5600 | Radeon RX 7600 | 16GB DDR4-3200 | 1TB SSD | $1,399 $849 at Newegg (save $550)
If you don't want to get busy with a screwdriver, Ipason has another budget offering with a built-in upgrade over its $489 5600G-sporting PC, this time with an RX 7600 GPU at its heart. That offers sometimes better than RTX 4060 gaming performance, and the full system comes with a solid back-up spec, too. The Ryzen 5 5600 might not be the latest and greatest but its still very capable as a gaming CPU, and that 1TB SSD gives you a decent amount of space for a few big games and all your files.

ABS Cyclone Aqua | Core i5 13400F | GeForce RTX 4060 Ti | 32GB DDR4-3200 | 1TB NVMe SSD | $1,099.99 $929.99 at Newegg (save $170)
It's a last-gen Intel CPU but the 13400F is the best budget gaming processor you can get. It's an ideal match for the RTX 4060 Ti, and the rest of the specs are nicely balanced, too. Sure it would be nice to have DDR5 system memory, but 32GB will ensure no game is going to be left wanting more. For the price, there's very little to complain about.

ABS Cyclone Aqua | Intel Core i7 13700F | RTX 4060 Ti| 32GB DDR5-6000 | 1TB SSD | $1,699.99 $1,179.99 at Newegg (save $520)
While the RTX 4060 Ti isn't the fastest GPU in the world, thanks to DLSS 3 it's still a decent shout for a 1080p/1440p modern gaming card. Here you also get a very fast previous gen Intel chip and 32GB of DDR5 6000 memory, meaning that if you do upgrade that GPU in years to come, the rest of the components should still be able to keep up with something beefier, too.

ABS Cyclone Aqua | Intel Core i7 13700F | RTX 4070 | 32GB DDR5-6000 | 1TB SSD | $1,699.99 $1,399.99 at Newegg (save $300)
The Core i7 13700F is a beast of a gaming chip, with 8 P-cores, 8 E-cores and 24 threads anxious to tear into both games and productivity task, and here it's paired with 32GB of very fast DDR5. Throw the RTX 4070 into the equation, and you've got yourself a very well-priced and plenty speedy gaming machine.

ABS Cyclone Ruby | Ryzen 7 7700X | RTX 4070 Super | 32GB DDR5-6000 | 1TB SSD | $1,699.99 $1,399.99 at Newegg (save $300)
The Ryzen 7700X is a powerful gaming chip, and the rest of the specs here are nothing to sniff about either. The RTX 4070 Super is a decent upgrade over the standard RTX 4070, and it's got 32GB of very fast DDR5, making for a quick, modern, mid-range gaming machine.

Skytech Chronos | RTX 4070 Ti | Core i7 12700F | 1TB SSD | 16GB DDR4 3200 | $1,629.99 at Newegg
While the Core i7 12700F here might be a couple of generations old it still makes for a magnificent gaming CPU, and in combination with the hugely powerful RTX 4070 Ti makes for a potent system that's capable of excellent performance. Plus there's an 850W PSU that should be capable of handling a few power hungry upgrades going forward.

ABS Stratos Ruby | Ryzen 7 7700X | Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super | 32GB DDR5-6000 | 1TB SSD | $2,099.99 $1,799.99 at Newegg (save $300)
Mmm, the RTX 4070 Ti Super. A pretty fantastic GPU, paired in this case with the very quick 7700X and 32GB of DDR5-6000. That makes an extremely potent combination for a gaming PC, and it's a lot of machine for your money. The only thing that prevents this from being pretty much everything you could want at this price is the 1TB of storage, but it's a good start, and it's still possible to find good deals on 2TB drives if you wanted a bit more breathing room. Still, this is a high-spec gaming PC with performance to spare.

ABS Vortex-X Aqua | Core i7 13700KF | RTX 4080 Super | 32GB DDR5-5600 | 1TB SSD | $2,499 $2,099.99 at Newegg (save $300)
The RTX 4080 Super is a very powerful card, and while it's not much of an upgrade over the RTX 4080, it's not like that GPU was a slouch to begin with. You also get a very quick Core i7 CPU, 32GB of DDR5 and...only a 1TB SSD. Still, this is a good deal regardless, although I'd upgrade that storage space with a 2TB SSD when I got the chance.

Cooler Master | RTX 4090 | Core i9 14900KF | 1TB SSD | 32GB DDR5 6000 | $3,299.99 $3,099.99 at Newegg (save $200)
If you want the absolute top end in gaming PC performance, well, here it is. The RTX 4090 is a monster GPU that outperforms all others by a considerable margin, and here it's paired with Intel's top-end chip and 32GB of screaming fast DDR5. Only 1TB of storage is a shame, but then a larger SSD is still a relatively cheap upgrade, even if SSD prices are slowly on the rise.

Dell G15 | RTX 4050 | Ryzen 7 7840HS | 15-inch | 1080p | 165 Hz | 16GB DDR5-4800 | 512GB SSD | $1,049.99 $749.99 at Dell (save $300)
Dell's angular chassis definitely feels like it's had some Alienware influence on it, but it is quite a bezel-happy thing. Still, you are getting a decent spec for a decent sub-$800 price. That includes an RTX 4050 that will certainly do a job with the 1080p display. But it's a slick 165 Hz panel, and you're getting a full 16GB of dual-channel DDR5, though only a 512GB SSD. Overall, it's a smart little package of laptop goodness.

Lenovo Legion Slim 5 | RTX 4060 | Ryzen 7 7840HS | 14-inch | 2880 x 1800 | 120 Hz | OLED | 16GB LPDDR5X | 1TB SSD | $1,479.99 $999.99 at Best Buy (save $480)
Though I am a big fan of Asus' new Zephyrus chassis for the G16, I am much more of a fan of the 14-inch form factor of this Legion 5 Slim. And, what's more, you get a bright, 400 cd/m² OLED panel with a decently high resolution as well. That and twice the storage that you'll find in a similarly priced Asus machine. This is a really tempting deal on the only sort of gaming laptop that I'd actually want to buy myself.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 | RTX 4060 | Core i7 13620H | 16-inch | 1080p | 165 Hz | 16GB DDR4-3200 | 512GB SSD | $1,449.99 $1,049.99 at Best Buy (save $400)
Yes, it's an RTX 4060 machine for more than we might normally want, but it's a 120W version, which makes it a seriously speedy version. It's also a rather lovely chassis, but with a last-gen CPU and RAM, though that's less of an issue than the 512GB SSD. That feels a bit miserly in a time where 1TB SSDs should be pretty standard.

MSI Bravo 15 | RTX 4060 | Ryzen 9 7940HS | 15-inch | 1080p | 144 Hz | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | $1,299.99 $1,049.99 at Newegg (save $250)
It's maybe a wee bit of a chonky beast, but no more so than recent Dell gaming laptops, and it's here with enough of a saving to give me pause over that Asus Zephyrus G16 for the same money. You are getting a slower RTX 4060, in a 105W version, but you are getting twice the storage and proper DDR5 memory, too.

Acer Predator 14 | RTX 4070 | Core i7 13700H | 14-inch | 250Hz | 1600p | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | $1,999.99 $1,299.99 at Amazon (save $700)
It's not the prettiest gaming laptop you'll ever see but underneath the cheap-looking exterior is a pile of really nice hardware. That Intel CPU has 14 cores, 20 threads, and the GPU is a 140W RTX 4070. Backing them up are 16GB of DDR5 RAM and, unusually for this price, a full 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD. Even the 2560 x 1600 screen is good, with a 250Hz refresh rate and mini-LED backlighting. There's very little to dislike here and it'll be down to whether the lightweight nature or 14-inch panel just aren't right for you.

While not exactly a massive discount, this is still a good price for an RTX 4070-powered gaming laptop. The TUF F15 is one of Asus' more affordable machines, and as such it's certainly a little chunkier than something like the Zephyrus range, but you're still getting a 14-core processor and 16GB of DDR4 memory to support that Nvidia GPU.

Gigabyte Aorus 15 | RTX 4070 | Core i7 13700H | 16-inch | 1440p | 160 Hz | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | $1,599.99 $1,249.99 at Amazon (save $350)
Last year's Aorus 15 is still a very good mid-range gaming laptop. It's not as overtly gamer-aggressive in styling as previous Aorus machines, and yet it's still got all the gaming goods you would want from a 15-incher. The 165 Hz, 1440p panel comes with an impressively thin bezel and compliments the 140 W RTX 4070 that Gigabyte is packing inside it. The classic 16GB / 1TB memory/storage combo is plenty good enough to support the 14-core Core i7 chip at its heart, too.

HP Omen Transcend 14 | Nvidia RTX 4060 | Intel Core Ultra 7 155H | 14-inch | 120Hz | 2880 x 1800 | OLED | 512GB SSD | 16GB DDR5-7500 | $1,699.99 $1,349.99 at HP (save $350)
This lovely 14-incher is still the best value compact gaming laptop around. You get an excellent OLED panel as standard, and a 65W GPU that will still deliver a quality gaming experience. The 512GB SSD is a bit small, but you can configure the machine with a 1TB drive if you're willing to spend a bit more. Shame the battery life isn't so good, but that's small gaming laptops for you.

Gigabyte Aorus 17H | RTX 4080 | Core i7 13700H | 17.3-inch | 1080p | 360 Hz | 16GB DDR5-4800 | 1TB SSD | $1,899.99 $1,849 at Newegg (save $50.99)
$1,850 for a laptop with a 1080p screen? Ignore that for the moment and note that you're getting a decent CPU, a 150W RTX 4080, and a nice amount of storage. Then focus on the fact that the screen is enormous (for a laptop) and super-fast, and what you're looking at is something that's ideal for e-sports and competitive shooter fans. Gigabyte's control app isn't the best, though.

Acer's Helios 16 has proved one of our favorite 16-inch gaming laptops of the last generation, and this RTX 4080-powered device is a great price at around the $2,000 mark. Sadly, this isn't the mini-LED version we loved so well in our review, but it's still got a great IPS panel that is able to hit pretty high brightness levels and at a great refresh rate, too.

Let's be honest, at this point, this isn't a deal on the best RTX 4080 laptop I've tested, this is just the price that it is. It's effectively been on offer at B&H at this level for a year now, but it's a fantastic notebook, offering performance that can often match and sometimes beat an RTX 4090-based system (see our review). There's a high-performance CPU to back it up, a decent, bright 1600p screen, and a fair amount of storage. All with a discount.

We wouldn't normally recommend an RTX 4090 laptop, as the price difference over RTX 4080s doesn't get you much, if any, extra performance. But if you really must have the best laptop GPU, then this Omen is the only one that's reasonably priced. The huge screen is nothing special in this segment, but at least you're getting masses of RAM and storage.

Ok, so it's pretty small, and a VA panel. But honestly, for this money and from a well-known and trusted manufacturer, with AMD FreeSync and a 100Hz refresh rate? A pretty good deal if you ask us. This would make an excellent second monitor, or a pretty quick main monitor in a pinch if you're building on a very tight budget.

ASRock has become a favorite of ours around here over busy shopping periods. These screens always seem to be on offer, and from the one we've used (read our review) they're good value for the money, too. You can't really complain with this 165Hz panel for just under $120.

Less than $200 for a decent 1440p 170Hz monitor from a proper brand like Gigabyte? What's not to like? Some would argue the VA panel, but it is rated at 1ms, albeit MPRT not GtG. The 250 nits brightness is modest, too, and the stand isn't height adjustable. Still, the panel sports 4,000:1 static contrast, which is excellent.

For the budget-conscious gamer, Asus makes a mean gaming monitor. This screen may be on the cheaper side, even costing less than some 1080p panels, yet it delivers 1440p res gaming with a 170Hz refresh rate (overclocked). Not too shabby.

$415.68 at Newegg
Sub $500 4K 32-inch high refresh monitors have remained frustratingly rare. But here's one at Amazon from MSI for under $420! Arguably, 4K makes more sense in the larger 32-inch format than, say, 27 inches. Inevitably, this is a VA not IPS model. But it's still rated at 1ms so the response should be at least reasonable.

Dough Spectrum One Glossy | 27 inch | 4K | 144Hz | IPS | FreeSync Premium Pro | G-Sync compatible | $699.99 $499.99 at B&H Photo (save $200)
First thing to say about this screen is that you don't get a stand as standard, so to speak. You have to spend another $100 if you don't already have a monitor arm you use. It's also worth stating there have been issues with Dough (previously known as Eve) fulfilling orders itself. This deal is specifically via B&H Photo, though, so you know the stock is in hand and ready to go. The final thing to say is that this monitor is glorious, and I'm a huge fan. It was also a $1,100 screen when it first came out, and is actually a pretty good HDR panel with its DisplayHDR 600 rating.

An older model, but it checks out. The combination of 34-inch ultrawide, 3,440 by 1,440 resolution, 144Hz and an IPS panel is pretty sweet for just $239.99, especially the IPS bit. The catch? Well, it tops at 250 nits, which is adequate but no more. But it's still a very nice deal.

This is a great deal on a slightly lower-spec ultrawide. You can expect a full ultrawide resolution, with plenty of vertical pixel space, thanks to that 1440p resolution and 1ms response times for gaming. The only thing is this monitor will max out at 100Hz. That's still plenty quick enough for gaming, and as a way to save some money and still get that proper ultrawide experience, we do like this MSI a lot.

Yes, this is the Acer Nitro EDA343CUR V3bmiippx, not the Acer Nitro EDA343CUR Hbmiippx. Totally ridiculous naming, but the V3bmiippx as opposed to Hbmiippx indicates 180Hz as opposed to 100Hz. And that's a lot of Hz on a 34-inch ultrawide for well under $300.

34-inch ultrawide 1440p gaming remains one of our firm favourites. It's a great compromise between lots of detail and decent frame rates. This Samsung panel gives you all that with 3,440 by 1,440 pixels, 165Hz refresh and 1ms response. It's not the brightest at 250 nits.

The G903 is an ambidextrous model, making it a great pick for a fully-fledged wireless gaming mouse with all of the key Logitech features, like 11 customisable buttons and a super fast sensor.

Logitech G213 Prodigy | Mech-dome switches | RGB lighting | Dedicated media controls | $69.99 $44.99 at Amazon (save $25)
Logitech makes some great peripherals, but some of its keyboards can be very expensive. This wired model, however, is very reasonably priced, with RGB lighting, dedicated media keys and Mech-dome tactile switches. It's not the be all and end all, but for the money it's a very good shout. Looks the bees knees in black, too.

8BitDo Retro | Mechanical | Tenkeyless | $99.99 $89.99 at Best Buy (save $10)
How's this for something different? The 8BitDo Retro mechanical keyboard is more than just a nostalgia trip, as it's got a hot-swappable PCB, PBT keycaps, and Kailh Box white switches. Oh, and an entire extra peripheral in the form of two "Dual Super buttons" that can be programmed with macros, or really any other functionality you can think of. Nostalgia in keeb form, yet very functional too.

Do you like customisable keyboards? Welcome then, to the Mountain Everest Max, a Swiss army knife of a keeb setup that features not just hot swappable pre-lubed switches, but a removable numpad that attaches to both sides, integrated display keys, and a moveable media dock with display dial and OBS integration. It's pretty unique, this thing, and we reviewed it very highly indeed.

Logitech G915 TKL Wireless | Mechanical | Tenkeyless | RGB lighting | Low profile switches | $229.99 $164.90 at Amazon (save $65.09)
We liked the G915 TKL wireless a lot, but the major caveat in our review was that it was far too expensive. At this discounted price it's still a lot of money for a keeb, but you're getting a huge amount of build quality, low-profile mechanical switches, wireless and Bluetooth support, and some excellent media controls for your cash.

SteelSeries makes some great gaming headsets, but it's sometimes best to hold on for a discount to get them at the right price. At $140, this Arctis Nova 7 set has a lot going for it, with accurate yet powerful drivers that deliver impressive spatial audio, a great microphone, and excellent comfort.
