I will be completely honest with you: I don't have $1,500 right now. Somehow, I keep finding myself cash-poor and Sonic peripheral rich when deals season rolls around. But if I did have a spare $1,500, my first order of business would be spending it on one of these Amazon Fall Prime Day gaming PC deals. These handpicked PCs that we think are actually worthwhile give you a lot of bang for your buck thanks to some considerable Prime Day discounts.
$1,500 is the ideal amount of money for purchasing a gaming PC during Fall Prime Day due to discounts on mid-range systems that total in the several hundred dollar range.
My top pick is this imposing-looking MSI Aegis R gaming desktop on sale for $1,500 at Newegg, $300 off the regular $1,800 price. Although this might seem steep for a non-RTX 4070 Ti machine, with a $300 discount, it's a steal. Underneath its exterior lies a powerful machine: The Intel Core i7 13700F processor is outstanding for gaming and creative tasks. Combined with the RTX 4070, it can achieve high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p resolutions.
It may seem trivial, but I'd prefer the Aegis R over the similarly equipped ABS Stratos at the same price point because of its 2TB SSD. Finding deals on gaming PCs boasting 2TB of storage for less than $2,000 is a rarity. While SSDs are affordable and upgrading isn't too challenging, it's always nice to have ample storage from the get-go.

I also found some good sub-$1,500 gaming PCs sporting RTX 40-series GPUs with current-gen Intel Core CPUs that are punching a bit above weight class.
You may not be familiar with Ipason, but it frequently delivers surprisingly potent budget gaming PCs at fair prices. Take, for instance, their system powered by the RTX 4060 Ti, priced at just $1,200. If you're keen on something with AMD processing, this Skytech Shadow featuring a Ryzen 5 5600X is slightly more affordable and boasts an RTX 4060 Ti.
Let's say you don't have more than $1,000 to spend on a PC. This Yeyian Yumi with an RTX 4060 and a 12th Gen Core i5 CPU for $869 is a solid budget option. It won't set the world on fire on the power scale, but if you take advantage of DLSS 3-supported games, you'll get a significant increase in frame rate, especially when playing in 1080p at medium settings.
Looking for something more portable that can still play all your favorite PC games? We took a look at some of the best $1,500 Fall Prime Day gaming laptop deals has to offer.
