The Prime Day sales are approaching, and if you're looking for a new gaming PC then it's a great time to start hunting. The Prime Day event itself will run between Tuesday July 16 and Wednesday 17 this year, but we're already seeing some big discounts on gaming PCs. It's not just Amazon either, as Newegg, Best Buy and others will be looking to match or beat Amazon's pricing.
We're seeing RTX 4060 gaming PCs drop down to less than $1,000, and systems featuring the mighty RTX 4080 Super hovering around the $2,000 mark. Systems featuring the original RTX 4070 are already getting some serious discounts, as it's been superseded by the RTX 4070 Super and retailers are keen to get rid of their older stock. Still, the OG version is a great 1440p card, but even PCs featuring the much faster (and newer) RTX 4070 Ti Super are now getting great discounts.
Last-gen CPUs will still stand the test of time, but if you're looking at an Intel chip from the 11th Gen or lower, or an AMD Ryzen 3000-series CPU, you should be able to do better. Likewise, you want at least 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. However, we're still expecting some good Prime Day SSD deals this year, so it may be worth your while to buy something with less storage and upgrade on the cheap.
When will Amazon's Prime Day 2024 event start?
Amazon's 2024 Prime Day event runs through Tuesday July 16 and Wednesday July 17 this year, but good deals start a lot earlier than that. Retailers like Newegg and Best Buy, and some of the major PC builders like Alienware, HP and Lenovo will also be kicking off their deals early. That means significant discounts on gaming PCs before the event, during, and for a little while after as well.
How do I become a Prime member for Amazon Prime Day?
You can become a Prime member for free for 30 days by signing up via Amazon's Prime membership page. This will, however, require you to create an Amazon account and provide payment card details. If you only want the Prime benefits for the duration of the sale, make sure to cancel your membership before the 30 day period runs out, or you'll be charged the subscription fee for every month after that.

Amazon Prime Day gaming PC deals: Under $1000
NXS gaming desktop | AMD Ryzen 5 5600G | 16 GB DDR4-3600 | 512 GB NVMe SSD | $489 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 16 GB RAM will run everything you need.
Geekom A7 Mini PC | Ryzen 9 7940HS | Radeon 780M | 32 GB DDR5-5600 | 2 TB SSD | $799 $679 at Amazon (save $120 with the PCGGA715 code)
There's a ton of tech inside the A7—this is no mere barebones system, coming with 32 GB of dual-channel DDR5-5600 and a 2 TB Gen4 SSD, as well as a copy of Windows 11 Pro pre-installed. The AMD core at its heart is great, too, with eight Zen 4 cores and the finest Radeon iGPU we'll see until Strix Point finally launches. Use promo code PCGGA715 to get the full discount.
Yeyian Yumi | Ryzen 5 5600X | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,199 $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 combination of DDR4 RAM and a previous gen Ryzen 5 might not be top-end, but this machine will still deliver great performance for under a grand.
Ipason gaming desktop | Ryzen 5 5600 | Radeon RX 7600 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $849 at Newegg
If you don't want to get busy with a screwdriver, Ipason has a 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 it's still very capable as a gaming CPU, and that 1 TB 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 | 32 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB 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 32 GB will ensure no game is going to be left wanting more. For the price, there's very little to complain about.
$1,000 - $2,000
Yeiyan Tanto | Intel Core i5 13400F | RTX 4070 | 16 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,599 $1,139.99 at Newegg (save $459.01)
RTX 4070 machines can vary in price and specification quite significantly, but here you're getting that great 1440p GPU (with even some 4K credentials thanks to DLSS 3), a nice and speedy Core i5 paired with some good DDR5 RAM, and a 1 TB SSD. For close to a thousand bucks, that's a really great selection of hardware that makes it a great gaming rig for more like budget prices.
ABS Cyclone Aqua | Intel Core i7 13700F | RTX 4070 | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $1,699.99 $1,299.99 at Newegg (save $400)
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 tasks, and here it's paired with 32 GB of fast DDR5. Throw the RTX 4070 into the equation, and you've got yourself a very well-priced and plenty fast gaming machine.
MSI Aegis Z | Ryzen 7 7700 | RTX 4070 Super | 16 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,549.99 $1,449.99 at Best Buy (save $100)
The Ryzen 7700 is a speedy gaming chip, and the RTX 4070 Super is a decent upgrade over the standard RTX 4070. 16 GB of DDR5 and a 1 TB SSD is enough for the meantime, and both are easy enough to upgrade on the cheap later down the line. A very nice mid-range gaming PC, at a price that makes a lot of sense.
Yeyian Phoenix Glass | Core i7 14700F | RTX 4070 Super | 32 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $2,099.99 $1,599.99 at Newegg (save $500)
Like the gaming PC above, but want a CPU with more and more RAM for productivity and content creation? Well for $150 extra cash you can have exactly that with this Yeyian model. Unlike the Ryzen chip, you won't be able to overclock this Intel one, but it'll be fast enough for most PC gamer's needs.
ABS Kaze Aqua | Core i7 14700KF | Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super | 32GB DDR5-6000 | 1TB SSD | $2,299.99 $1,899.99 at Newegg (save $400)
The RTX 4070 Ti Super is a very powerful GPU, especially when you match it up with a Core i7 14700KF and 32 GB of DDR5-6000 RAM. That makes for a machine with serious grunt, and something that'll power through demanding games with relative ease. Shame about only 1TB of storage, but cheap SSD deals can still be found to buy you a bit more breathing room.
ABS Vortex-X Ruby | Ryzen 7 7700X | RTX 4080 Super | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $2,399 $1,999.99 at Newegg (save $400)
It's been a little while since we've seen an RTX 4080 Super-equipped machine at $2,000, but this system strikes as a very well-balanced and powerful set of components. The 7700X is a very speedy gaming CPU, and combined with 32 GB of fast DDR5 and that beastly GPU this PC should fly through even the most demanding of games. As is often the case, however, you'll probably want to add in some sizeable storage when you get the chance.
$2,000+
Cooler Master TD5 Pro | Core i7 14700KF | RX 7900 XTX| 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1TB SSD | $2,299.99 $2,099.00 at Newegg (save $200)
The case might look a bit old-school from the front but it's what's inside that matters. Fortunately, it's all good, with a fast 20 core, 28 thread CPU, AMD's best gaming GPU with 24 GB of VRAM, plenty of fast DDR5 RAM, and a decent-sized SSD (though, you'll soon want to stick a larger drive in). The motherboard supports overclocking and all of the cooling stuff is Cooler Master's own gear, so you'll know it will be up to the job.
Yeyian Odachi | Core i9 14900KF | RTX 4090 | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 2 TB SSD | $3,699 $2,999 at Newegg (save $700)
When the price of an RTX 4090 bought on its own these days is getting on for the same price as this entire rig, it's maybe worth taking a look at these high-end PCs as a value proposition after all. Coupled with the latest and greatest Intel CPU, 32GB of fast DDR5, and a healthy dollop (technical term) of SSD storage, this is a huge amount of gaming PC at a very good price.

ADMI Gaming PC| Core i5 12400F | RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | £729.99 at Amazon
Yes, this six-core, 12-thread CPU is now two generations old but for the money, you really can't complain. Well, a bit more RAM would have been nice, but you're not going to get many gaming PCs with an RTX 4060 graphics card for just £730. The PSU is only rated to 500W so if you're planning on using this as a base to upgrade in the future, you might need a better supply unit for a top-end GPU.
Scan Gamer RTX Gaming PC| Ryzen 5 5500 | RTX 4070 | 16 GB DDR4-3600 | 1 TB SSD | £1,099.99 at Scan
The six-core, 12-thread CPU may be last-gen, and not the fastest one that AMD ever made, but this is still a very good deal for a powerful RTX 4070 machine. It sports dual channel DDR4-3600, which is rare to see in a simple pre-built, and you get a 1 TB SSD to load up with games.
AlphaSync | Core i5 14600KF | RTX 4070 Ti Super | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | £1,999.97 $1799.99 at Ebuyer (save £199.98)
Yes, it's a Core i5 processor is a gaming PC just under £1,800 and it uses a B760M motherboard, so you can't overclock it. Don't worry about that because the CPU is better than the best all-rounder you can get, the Core i5 13600K. You're also getting a really good GPU with 16 GB of VRAM, bags of fast DDR5 RAM, and a reasonably sized SSD.
Cyberpower Luxe | Core i9 12900KF | RTX 4080 Super | 1 TB SSD | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | $2,019.60 at Amazon
This Cyberpower Luxe comes equipped with the fantastic Core i9 12900KF, in combination with an RTX 4080 that still kicks out a huge amount of graphics horsepower even compared to the newer Super model. You also get a very fancy corner window case to show off those RGB-lit fans, making this PC a stunning looker with a serious gaming grunt to match.
3XS Gamer RTX | Core i7 14700K | RTX 4090 | 32 GB DDR5-5600 | 2 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD | £3,099.98 at Scan
You're probably thinking that this isn't much of a good deal but when RTX 4090 cards cost £2,000 on average, it looks a whole lot better. You're getting a very solid gaming CPU, the best gaming GPU, lots of speedy dual-channel RAM, and plenty of NVMe storage. This is about as fast a gaming machine as you can get your hands on, and even at £3,100, this is still a monster of a PC at a good price.
