If you missed out on Prime Day savings in July, don’t sweat it. Amazon is back with its October Prime Day, and I’ve scoured through the options to find some solid deals for PC gamers. Whether you’re looking for parts to upgrade your system, want an entirely new system, or need more gear for your setup, I’ve gathered up deals that’ll help you get the job done. And with other retailers jumping on Amazon’s bandwagon, I’ve found a few deals elsewhere that blend in nicely with Amazon’s.
Asus ProArt GeForce RTX 4070 Super OC Edition
It’s been hard to spot considerable savings on graphics cards since 2020, but this discount gets you a classy and potent RTX 4070 Super for 10% off. It’s overclocked out of the box as well, letting you get even more performance out of your new component. It’s now listed at $619.99 (was $689.99) at Amazon.
XFX Speedster QICK319 RX 7800 XT Core
AMD’s graphics processors are no slouch for the money, especially when it comes to traditional rasterization (i.e., not using ray-tracing and AI-powered resolution scaling techniques). And this deal on the XFX Speedster QICK319 RX 7800 XT Core offers some serious value. It gets you a high-performance card with plenty of VRAM to handle modern AAA games and high resolutions all for a little over $400.
Asus ProArt GeForce RTX 4060 OC Edition
This Asus version of the RTX 4060 may not be the most affordable, but many of the cards hitting the $299 base price do so with small, two-fan designs. Asus’s model offers a three-fan cooling system, a stylish design, and factory overclocking. While those normally come with a tidy uptick in price, this discount brings it satisfyingly close to that $299 mark.
SK Hynix Platinum P41 SSD (1TB)
SK Hynix makes some of the best PCIe SSDs, and the Platinum P41 is an exceptional drive, not only for its performance and efficiency but also for its value. While it’s normally $90 for a 1TB drive, which is already competitive, this discount brings it to a killer $76 price.
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D
No, this isn’t one of the latest CPUs on the market. But AMD’s 3D V-cache proved a big improvement for gaming performance when it was introduced. And this deal lets you snag a quite potent chip that includes that 3D V-cache for under $200. The Ryzen 7 5700X3D is also compatible with a huge range of systems running on earlier Ryzen processors using the AM4 socket, which means there are quite a few systems out there that could get a massive upgrade in performance by swapping out just this one component.
Seagate BarraCuda 8TB Internal Hard Drive
SSDs are great for fast storage, but they are expensive when it comes to the amount of storage you get. If you want a library of music, movies, or lesser-played games, a hard drive is the way to go, and this deal will let you get one with 8TB of storage for just over $100.
Samsung 990 Pro PCIe SSD w/ Heatsink (2TB)
Load up your operating system and gaming library onto this ripping-fast SSD, and you’ll enjoy faster operation and loading times. Samsung has long been responsible for some of the very best SSDs, and the 990 Pro is one of its latest and greatest with rear speeds up to 7,450Mb/s. It comes with a heatsink to help it sustain its speed as well.
Asus ROG Strix G16 (16GB DDR5, 1TB SSD)
The Asus ROG Strix G16 is a stylish and potent gaming laptop, and with this deal, it’s also an economical one. For your money, you’re getting a desktop-class CPU (Intel Core i7-13650HX) that’s not likely to struggle with much you throw at it and an RTX 4060 that can tackle many of the latest games while offering the performance boosts of DLSS 3.0. You can snag it for $1,099.99 (was $1399.99) at Amazon.
Gigabyte Aorus 16X (32GB DDR5, 1TB SSD)
The Gigabyte Aorus 16X packs in a lot for gaming on the go. Between its Intel Core i7-14650HX and Nvidia RTX 4060, it should handle a diverse range of games. It has plenty of memory and storage as well. And with a 2560 x 1600 display running at a 165Hz refresh rate, it can provide sharp and smooth visuals for your games of choice. This machine is currently $1,329.99 (previously $1599.00) at Amazon.
BenQ X300G
When a monitor doesn’t cut it, the BenQ X300G provides a way to enjoy a massive screen for gaming all from a small projector. This little projector is easy to set up, and provides a bright and sharp 4K picture. It also has a neat trick for competitive gaming, letting you switch to 1080p/240Hz mode when you need speed more than anything. It’s currently $1299.99 (previously $1499.99) at Amazon.
MSI MPG 341CQPX
Get immersed in your favorite games with the MSI MPG 341CQPX, now $779.99 down from $899.99. This 34-inch ultra-wide monitor curves nicely around your field of view while offering sharp visuals and a stunning QD-OLED panel. I’ve had the pleasure of testing it, and it’s exceptional to play on. Its 240Hz refresh rate especially helps in competitive games.
Audeze Penrose
New headsets may come and go, but audio quality doesn’t fade so quickly, and the Audeze Penrose offers exceptional sound with its planar magnetic drivers. It also works wireless with many platforms and supports Bluetooth for a secondary connection that can function simultaneously. Thanks to its modest age, it can also see a massive $100 discount, which places it nicely at $199.
Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD)
If you’ve been waiting for a killer display, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 might be it. Samsung has cut $350 off the price tag during Amazon’s sale event. This will get you a sizable 4K OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate. And with OLED’s ultra-fast pixel response, you’ll be seeing in-game action more precisely than ever.
