I'm collecting the best Amazon Spring Prime Day PC gaming deals like a bargain-hunting treasure goblin

The sun is finally shining, and that can mean only one thing: No, not a day on the beach, but the Amazon Big Spring Sale is here, so it's a great time to pick up a superb deal on some PC Gaming gear. We're partway through now, but Amazon's event runs until March 31, meaning there's still plenty of time left to pick up a bargain.

What, you didn't think we were going to go outside, did you? Nope, I'm going to be right here collecting the best deals not just from Amazon, but from competing retailers, too. Every time Amazon holds one of its big sales, retailers like Newegg, Best Buy and more drop their prices to compete, so it's an excellent time to treat yourself with that brilliant bit of hardware you've been waiting to drop in price.

We're in the middle of a big GPU switchover from the RTX 40-series to the RTX 50-series, which means it's been tough to find good deals on graphics cards, but I've still found a smattering of excellent contenders to choose from. Similarly, while RTX 40-series gaming laptops might be dwindling in stock now in anticipation of the new models, I've still found some genuinely brilliant machines for bargain basement prices.

So come with me, dear gamers, as I rifle through our deal pages and come out clutching deals of pure gold. I'll be hunting for last-minute deals as well and posting them here, so there's always the possibility of a surprise or two on the way. Just call me your own personal treasure goblin, scouring the landscape for excellent PC gaming hardware deals and laying them at your anointed feet.

Hello! I'll be your deal-sing co-pilot today, and I'm sure you're very excited. So come fly with me, and I'll try not to steer this liveblog directly into the ground. So far, so good!

Let's kick things off with a bang. This RTX 4070 gaming laptop is an astonishingly good deal for a mere $900. We've seen it at an even lower price over the winter sales, but it's still a silly-low amount of money to pay for an excellent gaming machine with that particularly brilliant mobile GPU.

This is the deal that makes it hard to recommend RTX 4060 gaming laptops right now. I'm still seeing RTX 4060-touting machines for well north of $1,000, and they make no sense at all while this Lenovo LOQ model exists for such a low price.

Yeah yeah, the SSD is small, and the screen is only 1080p. So what. You can upgrade the storage with ease, and 1080p gaming on a 15.6-inch display will still look great, especially when it's firing plenty of frames at that 144 Hz panel thanks to a properly powerful GPU.

If I was buying a gaming laptop on a budget today? This one. All day long.

It might be a little tough right now to find a latest-generation GPU (okay, more than a little tough) but if you're in the market for a stonkingly good pre-built machine, you can absolutely get hold of one—surrounded by truly excellent components.

Like this AVGPC Blizzard. Sitting in that AM5 socket is the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, a hyper-powerful gaming CPU that's only recently been surpassed in our best CPU for gaming guide by the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.

Trust me: The 7800X3D is still mega-fast in 2025, and will be for quite some time to come. Here it's paired with 32 GB of DDR5 6000, a generous 2 TB Gen 4 SSD, and crucially, an RX 9070 XT.

We've been mightily impressed with AMD's new cards, and the RX 9070 XT is the jewel in its current two-pronged crown. It can trade blows with the RTX 5070 Ti, and that's a genuine achievement. Sure, you don't get DLSS 4 to play with, but FSR 4 is starting to roll out now, and AMD's regular ol' frame generation works pretty darn well.

This machine is $2,000, and that's a lot of money. But in a GPU-starved market where we're seeing RX 9070-series cards edge towards the $900-$1,000 mark, this ferociously-fast gaming PC actually represents a good value proposition.

Tempting, isn't she?

Is anyone else struggling to remember the name "Amazon Big Spring Sale"?

I've got a terrible short term memory (a hell of a thing for a tech writer) but I keep mixing it up with Big Deal Days and the Amazon Super Mega Deal Day. Okay, I made one of those up.

Newegg opted for "Super Spring Sale", bless it, whereas Best Buy seems to have not bothered with a naming scheme at all. It's still one of the best places to shop for gaming laptop deals right now, though. Just saying, y'all.

I don't actually need help. I just found this banner in our image search and wanted an excuse to use it. Carry on with your deal hunting.

Fancy an ultrawide gaming monitor but keep being put off by the price? How about this Acer Nitro EDA343CUR V3bmiippx for a mere $280?

No, I didn't make the name up, Acer did. It's got quite possibly the worst nomenclature we've seen on a gaming monitor (among many, many candidates) but it's also one of the best ultrawide deals we've found to date.

It's a 34-inch 3,440 x 1440 resolution display, which is the perfect size for an ultrawide if you ask me, and uses a 180 Hz VA panel which means it's remarkably speedy. I'm not big on Acer's naming schemes, but I'm often impressed with how cheap you can find its genuinely desirable and very well-specced gaming monitors.

If you want to go wide for less, you're looking at your new gaming monitor right here, I reckon.

SSD prices have been jumping up and down like space hoppers over the past year, but I've found two Gen 4 beauties that are very well-priced in such a volatile market.

First up is the 2 TB Nextorage NEM-PAB, and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't recognise the manufacturer. Nextorage is a relatively new name on the market (originally sired by Sony to create SSDs for the PS5), but the components are tried and trusted at this point. In fact, this 2 TB drive uses one of Phison's best controllers—the E18.

It's super-speedy, reliable, and runs cool. Everything you want in a 2 TB drive, for a very good price.

And second, if you want all the storage (well, somewhere near it for practical purposes, anyway), how about this 4 TB Team Group MP44? I keep eyeing up this drive for my personal machine and at this price, it's pretty darn tempting.

After all, nothing feels better than having many, many brilliant games installed all at once with room to spare. It's still $240, which is a lot to pay for a single NVMe drive, but you won't find a faster 4 TB SSD for less right now.
