I will admit that when Prime Day was just starting to roll around I was skeptical about whether, in the current economic climate, there would actually be any Prime Day PC gaming hardware deals that were really that good. I knew there would be discounts, but I was wondering whether we might just get some token offerings from Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy and the like.But actually, there have been some really stellar gaming deals that are absolutely worth shouting about. Now, obviously, none of the best discounts are to be found on memory or SSDs, you can thank AI for that. Bloody AI. Hoovering up memory chips like they're goddam M&Ms.Anyways, not everything has been brutalised by the AI bros.' obsession with not having humans do stuff anymore and so there are still some products out there for prices that are almost in the must-buy category. In reality, there can be no such category for everyone—our budgets and needs will always be different—but these are the products where, if you were in the market for something in that area, they ought to be top of the list.We're curating all the best Prime Day PC gaming deals hereThe almost must-have Prime Day PC gaming deals Acer Nitro V 16S | RTX 5070 (85 W) Key specs: RTX 5070 (85 W) | Ryzen 7 260 | 16-inch | 2880 x 1620 | 165 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 512 GB SSD OLED Acer Predator X27U W1bmiiprx Key specs: 27-inch | 2560 x 1440 | 240 Hz | 0.03 ms | 200 nits SDR / 400 nits HDR | QD-OLED Corsair TC100 Relaxed Key specs: Fabric | 2D armrests Razer BlackShark V3 | Wireless Key specs: 50 mm drivers | 20-20,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | 80-hour battery life Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro Key specs: Wireless | 30,000 DPI | 750 IPS | 1,000 Hz polling | Right-handed GameSir G7 Pro Tri-Mode Key specs: TMR joysticks | 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, Wired | Asymmetric | 272 g GK Gamakay x NaughShark NS68 Key Specs: Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, and wired | 8 KHz | Hall effect Charmast Portable Charger | 20000 mAh Key specs: 20,000 mAh | Four built-in cables | 22.5 W fast charging support | LED display Hoto Electric Screwdriver Key specs: 25 bits | 3 torque settings | rechargeable The full detailsIn these RAMpocalypse-infested times, you have to sacrifice something to get a good gaming laptop at an affordable price, and in this case, it's the GPU's power limit—just 85 W, which lowers the chip's full capabilities. At least everything else is nice for the money, and it's plenty skinny. This is the cheapest RTX 5070 machine I can find right now I'd buy with my own cash, and a pretty sweet deal when most of the competition is ranging around the $1,500 mark.Key specs: RTX 5070 (85 W) | Ryzen 7 260 | 16-inch | 2880 x 1620 | 165 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 512 GB SSDPrice check: B&H Photo $1,200View DealEntry-level OLED gaming is now, officially, affordable. This Acer 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED does come with some compromises in terms of brightness. But OLED gaming, even slightly attenuated, is still something very special indeed.

You can read more in our review. It's a truly excellent gaming chair that's cheaper than most of its competition especially in the Prime Day sales. Key specs: Fabric | 2D armrestsPrice check: Corsair $189.99 | B&H $250.99 | Newegg $214.99View DealIt's a surprisingly big discount on a pretty recently released headset and one that sits at the top of our best gaming headset guide for a reason. It's superbly comfortable, the harmonic plug-enhanced drivers sound great for music and gaming alike, and it's pretty much everything we want a gaming headset to be. It might go cheaper over the course of the event, but even at full price, it's well worth paying for.Key specs: 50 mm drivers | 20-20,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | 80-hour battery lifeView DealThe DeathAdder V3 Pro is a fantastic all-round gaming mouse. There are lighter and faster rodents out there, but at this price, you'll find it hard to beat Razer's overall package. The white version is the same price, too. This deal is for Prime members only.Key specs: Wireless | 30,000 DPI | 750 IPS | 1,000 Hz polling | Right-handedView DealOur current pick for the best PC controller right now, the GameSir G7 Pro is only slightly pricier than a standard Xbox controller but feels and looks nearly identical, and comes with TMR sticks, tactile switches, and a charging dock to keep it topped up and looking pretty on a shelf. This is the lowest we've seen this controller at, and it was already reasonably priced at MSRP. Key specs: TMR joysticks | 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, Wired | Asymmetric | 272 gPrice check: Amazon $63.99View DealAn 8 KHz polling rate, Hall effect switches, rapid trigger, and nice double-shot PBT keycaps. To think you can get all of this, and a pretty unique aesthetic for comfortably under $40 makes the geeky hardware kid in me very happy. It's noticeably a cheaper keyboard in feel, but those internals truly are phenomenal.Key Specs: Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, and wired | 8 KHz | Hall effectView DealThe 10,000 mAh version of this power bank has rescued me (and those around me) on my travels many, many times. This one's got twice the capacity in a similar, phone-sized chassis. So I bought one.Key specs: 20,000 mAh | Four built-in cables | 22.5 W fast charging support | LED displayView DealThree torque settings and plenty of bits in this set. You normally only need one bit for a PC build, maybe two if there are small screws on the motherboard for the SSD covers, but this kit has you covered either way. I own it, and it's great so far.Key specs: 25 bits | 3 torque settings | rechargeableView Deal
