Updated: Thursday, June 27
Australia's End of Financial Year PC deals are starting to flood in. Sure, Black Friday may be a bigger event now, in terms of the wealth of price drops, but the Australian EOFY sales are still an institution, and an especially appealing one if you're lucky enough to get a decent tax return. Most PC retailers are desperate to get rid of their stock before crunching the financial year numbers, so in the lead up to June 30 you'll see a lot of good PC gaming deals popping up.
To make it easier for you to keep track of all the Australian EOFY PC gaming deals, we'll be keeping this page updated over the coming weeks with all the best EOFY prices as they emerge. So bookmark it, keep the tab open, vigorously refresh it: it's going to be a bloodbath for your wallet. We won't be listing every deal here: usually, the discount has to be fairly substantial to warrant a listing, unless it's a high ticket item that's rarely discounted (so $50 off a $3000 gaming laptop ain't gonna cut it). At the time of writing, Dell has a bunch of noteworthy discounts going on some of its best gaming PCs, so these comprise the majority of deals at present. But in the coming weeks this page will evolve.
And if you don't find what you need in the EOFY sales, don't forget that the Amazon Prime Day PC deals begin in July too...
