Cd Projekt Red Are Making A New Witcher Trilogy, A Sequel To Cyberpunk 2077 & More
Granted, these are still Prime Day sales of a sort. A lot of PC hardware manufacturers and third-party retailers like to cut their prices around Prime Day specifically, to get a cut of the shopping action while prospective upgraders are in a buying mood. And it goes without saying that these deals also have the benefit of not needing an Amazon Prime membership, the requirement that locks all of Prime Day’s best stuff behind a monthly subscription (or, at the very least, a free trial). Also, y’know, these are better if you just think Amazon are a bit too scummy.
I am, regardless, contractually obliged to remind everyone that we have aPrime Day PC gaming deals hub, with separate guides toPrime Day graphics card dealsandPrime Day Steam Deck accessories deals.

Best gaming keyboard deals
Another gaggle of great, Amazon-free peripherals. Special mention to the Razer Huntsman V2, which I’ve previously used as my everyday desk partner, and the Logitech G915 TKL Lightspeed Wireless: a more compact version of the classic G915, which has been parked on ourbest gaming keyboardsroundup for so long that the local oiks have begun graffitiing it.

For now, all the best-valuegaming headsetoffers are basically the usual suspects. The Logitech G432, HyperX Cloud II, and HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless are all brilliant in their own ways, and while this isn’t the first Prime Day for any of them, they’re still all deserving of your attention.

Best CPU deals
Deals on oldergaming CPUsare available, but I’d stick to the latest stuff: that being Intel’s 12th and 13th gen chips, and AMD’s Ryzen 5000 and 7000 series. The Ryzen 5 7600X, in particular, seems to be dropping quite aggressively

Best RAM deals
Tragically, I haven’t found any DDR5 RAM deals that rival Amazon’s best efforts. Still, both DDR5 and older DDR4 kits (don’t worry,the performance difference is minimal) are going for less right now, so one of these dual-channel sets could make an ideal accompaniment to your next CPU and/or motherboard upgrade.
UK deals:
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 32GB (2x16GB) - £65 from Ebuyer (was £85)
Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 16GB (2x8GB) - £68 from Ebuyer (was £86)
Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) - £100 from Ebuyer (was £123)
US deals:
Kingston FURY Beast 16GB (2 x 8GB)- $33 from Newegg (was $45)
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4 32GB (2x16GB)- $58 from Walmart (was $71)
Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB)- $98 from Best Buy (was $105)

Best gaming laptop deals
Gaming laptops aren’t going to be as powerful with a desktop with similar-seeming parts, but they’re plenty capable of running most games at a decent clip. Especially if you go for one of the higher-end models, like theAsus ROG Zephyrus G14. Besides their innate portability, gaming laptops also save a lot more space than a tower PC and monitor setup, so can work at home if you’ve only got a teensy desk.
UK deals:
