This is a brilliant PC with lots of processing power for gaming, as well as a 24-core Intel CPU for multitasking. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be the more potent 285K, but this should still be plenty of oomph for everyday tasks as well as running your favorite titles.

The main event in this build is the potent GPU. With the coveted 16GB of VRAM capacity and 8,960 CUDA cores, the RTX 5070 Ti excels at gaming in 1080p and 1440p, and with access to Nvidia's DLSS technologies, will also be ample for some 4K gaming too.

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285 is a 24-core CPU with eight performance cores and 16 efficient cores, with a total of 24 threads. It has max turbo clocks of 5.6 GHz, and while it lacks the potent cache of AMD's X3D SKUs, it is a brilliant CPU for multi-threaded workloads.

This PC also comes with a generous 32GB of DDR5 6400 RAM, a $500 item in the current PC building economy. You also get a 2TB SSD gen 4 SSD, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.3.

If you'd prefer to go for a gaming-focused CPU, this 9800X3D PC comes with an RTX 5070 12GB, 32GB of DDR5, and a 1TB SSD instead.

A huge discount on a gamepad for your gaming PC or Nintendo Switch 2 console is available right now. You can pick up the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 game controller for only $51.12 right now, a 27% discount on a flagship wireless gamepad with precision TMR joysticks and an integrated charging dock.

This is the lowest price we've ever seen for this 8BitDo controller, according to Camelcamelcamel's data. It's important to note that there are a few different variants of this game controller that you can buy. They're pretty much identical, except for some differences in the color and button layout. This one is the cheapest right now, and it'll work with your Windows PC immediately.

This is a wireless controller, and you can use it over 2.4 GHz wireless using the supplied USB adapter or via a Bluetooth connection. You can also use it wired, too, over USB. This is a Windows-compatible controller, but this particular variant of the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 is built with the Nintendo Switch in mind. It's now both Switch and Switch 2 compatible, but you'll need to update the firmware for both the controller and adapter to use it with your Switch 2. It has built-in vibration and, with those Nintendo gamers in mind, it also includes motion control functionality that you can use in-game.

The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 comes with both linear Hall Effect triggers and non-linear tactile triggers, with quick-switch sliders that let you choose between the two, depending on which you prefer. It's also the first 8BitDo controller on sale that uses TMR joysticks, giving you much higher sensitivity and greater precision for gaming.

You can fully customize this 8BitDo controller to suit how you play. That's thanks to its Ultimate V2 software, which you can use to adjust stick and trigger precision settings, remap the buttons, adjust the RGB lighting, and set your vibration settings. It also lets you set up in-game macros, which you can activate using long presses on different keys.

This is a wireless controller, so you'll need to charge its 1,000 mAh battery to keep using it (unless you decide to go wired). It comes with a charging dock, however, so you won't need to swap out any AAA batteries here. The dock works as a practical stand for your controller when you're not using it, too, and has a built-in light so you know when the charging is complete.

With a sale price of $51.12, this 8BitDo Ultimate 2 wireless game controller is now at the lowest price we've ever seen it. This is a great price for a versatile controller that you can use with both your PC and Nintendo consoles, along with other devices like laptops and handheld gaming PCs like the Steam Deck, too.

Newegg has refreshed its bundle deals and have recently come out with a couple of solid deals that help take some of the sting out of building a PC in these trying times. The latest combo pairs one of the fastest gaming CPUs in the Ryzen 5 9800X3D, 32GB of Corsair DDR5-6000 RAM, and a premium motherboard with MSI’s X870E Carbon Wifi for only $1,250.98, saving $119 compared to buying the parts individually. In fact, buying this RAM kit alone would cost $509.99, so if you apply the discount to the RAM, it’s just $390 and cheaper than any comparable standalone kit, which looks to be around $460 at the time of this writing. Newegg also throws in a free Rosewill 360mm AIO ($90 value) to sweeten the pot.

• Check out all the RAM Combo deals at Newegg

The RAM portion of the bundle, Corsair’s Vengeance RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 RAM kit, is currently available on Newegg for an eye-watering $509.99 when bought separately. The good news is that the discount brings this RAM down to something reasonable for the times. This black kit matches the MSI X870E Carbon board in the combo and features a frosted RGB light bar that runs the length of the sticks. If RGB lighting isn’t your thing and you prefer a stealthy, unassuming look, you can turn it off. The DDR5-6000 speed lands in the sweet spot for the AM5 platform and is a worthwhile, good-looking option. The SK Hynix ICs under the heatsink pair nicely with the MSI board and offer plenty of overclocking headroom.

Next is one of the most popular and fastest current-generation gaming CPUs: the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. This 8-core/16-thread Zen5-based processor has a 4.6 GHz base clock and a 5.2 GHz max boost, plenty fast for any task. The X3D variant's 96MB of L3 cache helps with gaming (among other things), making it one of the fastest gaming CPUs available. It is also a well-rounded performer that excels in games and suits most applications.

Last but certainly not least is the premium MSI X870E Carbon Wifi motherboard (one we reviewed in the past. We loved the robust power delivery (perfect for the 9800X3D or greater), the dual Ethernet ports, EZ features, storage options (4x SATA, 4x M.2 sockets - one PCie 5.0) and ample connectivity on the rear I/O, including four USB Type-C ports (2x 40 Gbps). The all-black motherboard sports a cool RGB design element of the MSI dragon on the VRM heatsink to break up the monotony and lend some bling to the inside of your chassis. It’s a great motherboard to build your AM5 rig around.

In the end, we like this combo as this, and others like it, help take some of the pain out of buying a PC today. Priced at $1,250.98 with a savings of $118.99 and a free 360mm Rosewill Frostmax Digital ARGB AIO ($90 value), it’s one of the better bundles available on Newegg right now. Get it while supplies last.

Best Buy has just slashed $350 off this all-AMD CyberPowerPC gaming desktop, scoring you a powerful 9800X3D build for less. Right now, this gaming PC with an RX 9070 16GB is just $1949.

● Check out this deal at Best Buy

This is a fantastic gaming PC for 1440p, with a strong supporting cast of specs. The 32GB of RAM in this PC alone is worth $450 right now, and a 1 TB SSD will set you back $250.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the headline spec of this build. With its generous 3D cache, it's one of the very best gaming CPUs on the market right now, edged out only by the 9850X3D in terms of gaming performance, as you can see from our bench database below. With 8 cores and 16 threads, this CPU will chew through any gaming title thanks to that 3D cache, which means the chip has to rely much less heavily on RAM, drastically improving performance.

The GPU in this build is the RX 9070 with a generous 16GB of VRAM. Sadly, it isn't the more potent XT version, but this is still a great gaming GPU, averaging nearly 75 FPS in our 19-game rasterization benchmark suite at 1440p. 4K performance was around 41 FPS without frame generation, too, so there is some 4K potential.

The PC also comes with 32GB of DDR5 5600 memory, a slight compromise over 6000 speeds but one you shouldn't notice too much. You also get a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD for your operating system and storing games, plenty to get you started.

It's all held together by a B650 motherboard, and ships inside one of CyberPower's more impressive cases, along with fans aplenty. You also get Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, lots of USB ports, HDMI and DisplayPort connectivity, and a liquid cooler for the CPU, as well as an 850-watt power supply. And, of course, a copy of Windows 11.

With Black Friday still a couple of weeks away, this is one of the best gaming PC deals going right now and one not to be missed.

Hoto has a number of useful tools for builders, makers, and hobbyists, and it's a brand that Tom's Hardware staffers have come to trust, with several of us owning a Hoto screwdriver. A great deal on Hoto's cordless rotary toolkit means you can grab it for just $31.99 right now, as long as you apply the on-screen coupon, which'll save you 36% compared to its list price.

● Check out this deal on Amazon

This wireless Hoto rotary tool includes a five-speed motor, fully adjustable with speeds from 5,000 to 25,000 RPM. It's lightweight, weighing just 240 grams, with a design that makes it small and nimble enough to use for any detailed projects you have, whether it's DIY around the home or making products in your workshop, especially with a 3D printer handy.

It has a 2,000 mAh battery, making it portable, with up to 50 minutes of continuous use on a single charge. To charge it, you can use the supplied charging dock with a USB-C cable.

Along with the rotary tool itself, you've also got 35 additional accessories. These'll let you use it for sanding, polishing, drilling, carving, and cutting: a versatile set for any maker at home. There's also a special nail grinding attachment to help you trim the nails on your pets at home. It has support for 3.2mm and 2.3mm collets, common sizes for other rotary tool accessories, making it fully compatible with those.

You've also got a snap-on dust cover to help contain any dust created and to protect your face while you're working. There's also an integrated LED light, which can help illuminate your workspace as you're using the tool, especially if you're working in otherwise dim conditions.

To get this Hoto cordless rotary toolkit at its $31.99 sale price, you'll need to make sure to tap or select the on-screen coupon. That'll apply the discount before you add it to your cart. If you're a maker yourself, or just buying for one, the 36% discount here is a bargain you won't want to miss out on ahead of the holiday season.

Newegg is one of the best places at the moment for deal bundles on otherwise expensive PC parts for a new gaming PC. With that in mind, you can pick up a brand-new AMD Ryzen 7 9950X3D with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and an Asus TUF Gaming X870E motherboard for $1,059.98.

● Check out this combo deal at Newegg

This deal saves you $128.99 compared to buying the parts separately. You're also getting a free Rosewill 360mm AIO liquid cooler thrown in for free, worth $89.99. More importantly, however, is the RAM. With this deal, you're bringing down the effective cost of the memory to just $351, or less if you count the free cooler.

Buying this RAM separately would cost you $479.99, while the cheapest 32GB DDR5 kit on sale anywhere right now is $438, so you're paying $87 less for RAM compared to what you'd have to pay elsewhere. That's a great deal considering how expensive RAM has become over the last year, especially if you need to build or upgrade your rig today.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is no longer the fastest gaming CPU on the market, but it's still our favorite, with performance that's almost impossible to beat. It ships with eight cores, 16 threads, and a boost clock speed up to 5.2 GHz. The important stat, though, is 96MB of L3 cache. This is AMD's all-important 3D V-Cache technology in action. The extra cache provides a huge frame rate boost by giving the CPU more memory directly.

There's less need for it to drop down to slower system RAM while you're gaming, making frame rates higher and more stable. As the Bench charts below show, this is a CPU that, despite being marginally pipped to the post by newer CPUs like the 9850X3D, is still an absolute powerhouse for gamers.

Along with this world-class processor is a solid set of RAM for your rig. The V-Color Manta XSky RAM included here is a popular one among these Newegg bundles. You're getting two 16GB memory modules to run dual-channel, and it's fast DDR5 CL30 RAM, rated at 6,000 MT/s, with RGB lighting that you can configure. RAM prices are showing no signs of cooling, so getting RAM for nearly $90 less than you'd be paying elsewhere is a worthy option if you're building or upgrading a new PC.

Along with the RAM is an Asus TUF Gaming X870E-Plus WiFi 7 motherboard. This is an enthusiast-friendly board that's packed with a whole host of gaming features. Ready for an AM5 build, this motherboard has 13 USBs at the rear, including two USB-C ports that are rated at speeds of 40 Gbps. You're also getting four M.2 sockets for plenty of SSDs, and with the 9800X3D installed, two of them are rated for PCIe 5.0 speeds over four lanes. There's fast networking, with 2.5 Gb Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7 support included.

A nice extra, too, is that Rosewill AIO cooler. Worth $89.99 if you had to buy it, this 360mm cooler will help to keep your CPU cool, with three RGB fans and a built-in display that can show you your CPU's temperature, fan and pump speeds. No cost here: this one comes with the bundle for free.

Overall, the $1,059.99 sale price for this Newegg parts bundle means you're scoring a top-spec CPU with better-priced RAM than buying it separately before we even consider the motherboard and free CPU cooler. The $128.99 discount here isn't one you should ignore given current market prices, but with these bundles selling out fast, you'll need to be quick to secure it for yourself.

As games go, Grand Theft Auto VI is set to be one of the biggest game launches of the last decade. This is a billion-dollar franchise, with the last entry now 13 years old. Luckily, gamers looking to play the latest iteration don't have long to wait. Digital pre-loads are set to begin on November 10, giving you nine days to download all 212GB of it on the PlayStation 5.

To do that, though, you'll need enough storage. If you've got a base model PS5 with other games installed, you might not have enough. That's where a PS5 storage upgrade can come in handy. You can hook up an extra PS5 SSD, adding an NVMe SSD to your Sony console using its M.2 expansion slot.

With nine days to begin pre-loading GTA 6, you've got time to fix the situation if your PS5 does lack enough space for the game's installation. You'll need to consider that the game will receive updates and may grow in size over time, too.

Unfortunately, SSDs have been badly affected by the AI-fueled price rises over the last year. Buying storage isn't as cheap, so you'll need to look for deals when you can. We've put together some of the best options for a PS5 SSD upgrade below, considering current prices, that'll help you get started.

One thing worth mentioning, too, is that the PS5's M.2 expansion slot only supports PCIe 4.0 speeds. That doesn't stop you buying a Gen 5 SSD (in fact, in some cases, it might be better value to do so). If you do use a Gen 5 SSD, however, you'll only be able to use it at Gen 4 speeds. These drives also require a heatsink, but you can pick up third-party ones to work with each drive to save costs.

Limitations aside, here are some of the top PS5 SSDs you'll want to consider to get your console ready for the GTA 6 release next week.

PS5 SSD deals for GTA 6

PS5 SSD Heatsinks

Sony recommends that you install an SSD with a heatsink when you're upgrading your PS5's storage to avoid overheating and throttling.

With that in mind, if you buy an SSD without one, you can pick up one of these third-party compatible heatsinks to use with your drive instead.

Buying a PlayStation 5

If you don't already own a PS5, you can pick one up right now. With the holidays fast approaching, however, you might see stock shortages for all the big consoles. Between this new Grand Theft Auto release and Nintendo's Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time re-release, it's a big season for gaming.

Right now, you can grab the digital version of the PS5 for $599. You can also grab Grand Theft Auto VI for $79.99, with the box arriving with a code that you'll need to redeem on your PS5 to be able to download and play the game.

There's nothing that can improve the gaming experience on a PC more than a brand new controller, and this deal on a wireless gamepad is one you won't want to miss. For a limited time only, you can pick up GameSir's Super Nova wireless gaming controller for $39.99. That's a record low from Amazon directly, and one that knocks 20% off its list price.

● Grab this deal at Amazon

There are a lot of cheap controllers out there at this price point and lower, but they won't come with the specs that this GameSir controller has. For under $40, you're getting Hall Effect sticks and triggers, along with three different connectivity methods and a charging dock. It's also got an Xbox-style layout, although annoyingly, it isn't compatible with Xbox. It will work with your PC, however, along with smartphones, and even a Nintendo Switch.

You won't be too surprised by the GameSir Super Nova's design, and it's a comfortable and familiar option for gamers, with rubberized grips on the handles and the Xbox button layout for the thumbsticks and buttons. It's instantly recognizable if you've used a recent Xbox controller, making it perfect for PC gaming.

There are three different ways to connect the GameSir Super Nova to a device. You can use it wired, so you won't have to worry about battery life, or you can connect wirelessly using a 2.4 GHz dongle or via Bluetooth. The wired and wireless 2.4 GHz connections will ensure ultra-low latency with a 1,000Hz polling rate, which you'll want if you play competitive-style FPS games, for instance. Bluetooth will give you better battery life while using its 1,000 mAh battery. The combination also makes it easier to switch between using different devices, too.

The GameSir Super Nova is fitted with Hall Effect switches for the controller's trigger buttons, and also uses Hall Effect thumbsticks. These magnetic switches reduce physical wear and tear, avoiding the stick-drift issues that have plagued plenty of older controllers. You've also got trigger stops you can engage for a hair-trigger feel, giving you faster response times in FPS games. There's also 6-axis gyroscopic movement that you can use in Nintendo Switch games, along with vibration motors in both handgrips for haptic feedback.

It's possible to remove the magnetic faceplate and swap the ABXY button layout for your own preference, while vibration settings, button mapping, and dead zone adjustment can be made using GameSir's own app.

The $39.99 sale price for this GameSir Super Nova game controller is a good one, and it's the lowest we've seen on Amazon before. Expect this deal to sell out fast, as there's no guarantee that this limited-time deal will stick around for very long.

There's a great Newegg combo deal right now that'll net you half the parts you'll need for a new 4K gaming PC. For $1,090.98, you can pick up the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, one of the best CPUs you'll find for gaming, along with 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 RAM and a mid-tier Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite Wi-Fi 7 motherboard.

● Check out this deal at Newegg

The $138.99 saving you're making here means you're getting the RAM for $371, almost $70 less than the current low price for 32GB DDR5 RAM right now. If you count the free Rosewill ATX case you're getting here, too, worth $59.99, the RAM is just $311. These parts give you the foundation for a high-spec AM5 gaming PC that, coupled with a recent GPU that you'll need to buy separately, will smash through high frame rates at 1440p and 4K.

Starting out in this combo is one of the fastest and best of the current-gen gaming CPUs on the market, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. This eight-core, 16-thread Zen 5 processor has a base clock speed of 4.6 GHz and a max boost speed of 5.2 GHz and a 120W TDP. More importantly for gamers, though, is the L3 cache. This boosted 96MB L3 cache capacity is the reason AMD CPUs have become the dominant force in gaming right now. They're able to deliver faster, more stable frame rates as the CPU doesn't need to rely on the slower system RAM as often while you're gaming.

As the CPU benchmark data shows, the 9800X3D sits near the very top of the food chain right now. Only CPUs like the 9850X3D can beat it; that CPU is 3% faster at 1080p than the 9800X3D, but has much higher power demands. As it stands, the 9800X3D continues to be a firm favorite, and one that'll sit comfortably in high-spec rigs for a few years to come.

You're also getting RAM with this bundle, with 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 memory included, split across two 16GB modules. If you wanted to buy this RAM separately, it'd currently cost you a huge $509.99 right now. As we mentioned, however, this bundle's collective cost and $138.99 discount bring the effective price down by $138. This black kit matches the motherboard and has customizable RGB, which you can switch on and off. With speeds of 6,000 MT/s, this RAM sits in the sweet spot for gamers, with CAS and latency timings of 36-44-44-96.

As for the motherboard, the Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite Wifi 7 is a solid mid-range performer for an AM5 gaming PC build. There's plenty of connectivity here, with 12 USB ports on the rear, including two USB-C 4 ports rated for 40 Gbps. There are also four M.2 slots, one rated for PCIe 5.0 with the 9800X3D installed, along with Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5 Gb Ethernet connectivity. There's also a five-year warranty for support.

The Rosewill mid-tower ATX case is a nice extra, and if you bought it separately, it'd cost you $59.99. It's a gaming PC case, with four 120mm fans, a tempered glass side and a mesh front to keep your fans free from dust. Luckily, it's all free here.

The $1,090.98 sale price for this Newegg combo bundle with the 9800X3D means you can save nearly $140 on the RAM compared to buying it separately. The $138.99 discount will help towards the cost of a new SSD or GPU, especially given how expensive PC components have become recently. These bundles sell out quickly, though, so you'll need to be quick.

Put simply, AMD dominates the gaming CPU world right now. While the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D isn't the most powerful, it's still the best option for gamers, offering a good performance-to-power ratio. It's simply a powerhouse, and right now, it's down to a new record low price of $399.99 at multiple retailers. Considering the performance you can get with a 9800X3D, you'll want to grab it if you've got an AM5 build.

Both Newegg and Amazon have it at this record price, but you'll need to apply some coupons to get the price. At Newegg, that means using the coupon code BFF36 at checkout to knock $70 off its current list price, while at Amazon, you'll need to click or tap to apply the $49.01 coupon, shown below the price.

There aren't many options for gaming that beat the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. It's a powerhouse that was, until recently, the best CPU for gaming in the world, beating every other chip due to its boosted L3 cache capacity. You're getting an eight-core, 16-thread processor, made using AMD's current-gen Zen 5 architecture, with a boost clock speed of 5.2 GHz, and a 120W TDP.

The 9800X3D is fully unlocked, so it's possible to overclock it, which was a limitation in older 3D V-cache chips from AMD. It's that extra L3 cache that makes this such a special chip, too, stacked beneath the CPU cores closer to the heat spreader on a reconfigured die.

Faster chips do technically exist, like the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, which our CPU benchmark data shows is 3% faster at 1080p than the 9800X3D, although with much higher power demands. The 9800X3D offers the best performance per watt of any other gaming CPU, so you can really maximise performance without a huge increase in electrical power. You can see, too, from the Bench charts below that the 9800X3D sits very close to the top as far as CPU performance goes.

Put simply, if you pair this processor with a recent GPU, you won't see many bottlenecks. Pair it with a top-class option like the RTX 5080 or RTX 5090, and you'll be hitting high frame rates in any game you can throw at it. CPU-intensive games like Cyberpunk 2077 won't be let down by that 96MB of L3 cache included in this X3D chip.

Given how good a processor this is, and how little Intel has been able to rival it, we can't see it falling out of date for a long while yet. It's sitting at the top of the food chain and will continue to dominate games for years into the future. AMD's AM5 platform, meanwhile, remains in use, and AMD has promised to support it for at least one more generation.

If you want even better performance, though, then the 9850X3D (which, as we mentioned earlier, does manage to beat the 9800X3D by 3%) is also on sale. You can pick up the 9850X3D for $419 at Newegg right now, thanks to a $65 promo code, a significant discount on its launch price. You'll need to apply the BFF39 code at checkout at Newegg to get the discount, or apply the on-screen code if you buy it at Amazon.

The 9800X3D and 9850X3D are formidable options for gaming, the 1-2 winners that sit above all others. The record-low $399 sale price for the 9800X3D is simply exceptional, while $419 for the 9850X3D is an $80 drop compared to its launch price. Either option would be a serious upgrade for an AM5 gaming PC, or as the center point of a new build.

Given how expensive PC gaming is becoming, picking up a pre-built PC with a discount is the best way to go. Right now, you can buy an ABS Flux II Aqua gaming PC with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 for $1,999.99 at Newegg, saving you $300 compared to its list price.

● Check out this deal at Newegg

Newegg owns the ABS brand, so this isn't a no-brand option you're buying here. One oddity, though, is that the advertisement suggests this PC comes with an Intel Core Ultra 7 260K. This is an exclusive CPU available in only a select number of Newegg's ABS pre-built machines, and ships with 20 cores and a max boost clock speed of 5.4 GHz.

It's the RTX 5070 that's the real star of this show, though. It's a solid mid-tier option for gaming that'll easily push through 1080p on Ultra graphics presets with high frame rates. 1440p will be an easy match here, too, and you've got potential to push up to 4K, especially with Nvidia DLSS and multi-frame generation helping to bridge the gap. There's also 32GB of DDR5 RAM in this build, along with a 1TB SSD.

Our RTX 5070 review makes clear what a good option the RTX 5060 currently is. This is the best all-rounder, with solid 1440p performance, and placing Nvidia DLSS features like multi-frame generation at your disposal to give you the best chance in even the most demanding games. Specs-wise, it has 6,144 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM. The Bench charts below show how well it ranks compared to its rivals, too.

Elsewhere, you're getting 32GB of G.Skill Flare X5 RAM, split dual-channel across two 16GB modules, with speeds of 6,000 MT/s. No DDR4 memory here, so you don't have to worry about slower speeds or longevity issues. You're also getting a 1TB MSI M461 SSD here, offering Gen 4 speeds. That'll be enough for a few big game installations alongside Windows, for instance.

All in all, the $1,999.99 sale price for this ABS Flux II Aqua gaming PC makes it a really affordable option for a 4K-capable gaming PC in the current market. You'll struggle to find a rig with a similar spec sheet for less, and with prices continuing to rise, we'd expect a build like this to sell out quickly.

Current-gen desktop builds are becoming rare due to memory and graphics card pricing, so many enthusiasts have taken to upgrading older machines, using previous-gen platforms, or buying used hardware. For any and all of those scenarios, the G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3200 32 GB kit is just perfect, and it can be yours for $209.99 at Newegg with promo code BNWF83.

• Check out the G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB DDR4-3200 kit at Newegg with promo code BNWF83

This dual-channel kit does exactly what it says on the tin, offering a roomy 32 GB that ought to be fine for many years to come, or until Altman finds your location. The rated speed is pretty good at 3200 MT/s, and latency is pretty good at 16 cycles. There's no onboard RGB, but that's a blessing in disguise, proven by the low asking price. The exact model is F4-3200C16D-32GVK, if you're curious.

With this kit in hand, you can conjure up a perfectly potent gaming rig using, say, a Ryzen 5800X3D CPU ($319.99 with promo code BFF43), an Asus TUF B550-Plus Wi-Fi motherboard ($119.99), and a Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 graphics card ($729.99) and still come in under $1,500 for the baseline components.

As befits any quality memory kit, there are onboard XMP 2.0 profiles, and the maker offers a limited lifetime warranty. I've personally used the G.Skill memory for decades now, and have nothing but good things to say about the quality of the gear and the effectiveness of the company's RMA and support.

It is arguably the worst time to build a gaming PC especially with the ongoing memory crisis inflating the cost of RAM, SSDs, and graphics cards. One way to possibly work around the rising costs is to consider a prebuilt system. For instance, the iBuyPower Slate Gaming Desktop PC, a well-rounded mid-range gaming PC which is selling for a very reasonable price of $899, down from its regular price of $1,399 over at Best Buy.

The system is powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, an entry-level 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor with a relatively low 65W TDP. This makes it fairly power-efficient while still offering decent performance for 1080p gaming. For graphics, the prebuilt comes with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060, a solid GPU for 1080p gaming as well as an entry point to Nvidia's latest Blackwell architecture, with support for multi-frame generation and newly released DLSS 5.

For memory, there's a single 16GB DDR5 stick running at 4,800MT/s. which isn't particularly fast and should ideally be configured in dual-channel, but a 16GB DDR5 memory stick on its own can cost around $300, making the system's $899 asking price a pretty solid deal. It also comes with a 1TB NVMe SSD with additional storage expansion for a secondary M.2 as well as SATA 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives. It is also worth noting that this iBuyPower prebuilt is cheaper yet more powerful than the Steam Machine, which currently goes for $1,049 for the base 512GB storage model. With a little bit of tinkering one could even use this system as a dedicated gaming PC for their living room.

In terms of cooling you get a single tower CPU cooler in addition to four ARGB fans, three at the front and one at the rear. The sturdy mid-tower chassis offers additional cooling fan mounting options, a glass side-panel, and a 600W PSU. iBuyPower also offers an entry-level gaming keyboard and mouse combo with the gaming PC. Remember, the discounted price of $899 is a limited-time offer, so you may want to grab it before the deal expires.

It's November, which means we're officially in the season for deals on tech. While it's a few weeks before the big sales event starts, 3D printer manufacturers are already slashing their prices. If you fancied investing in a new 3D printer ahead of the holidays, Elegoo's big sale has started, and it's slashing prices by as much as 54%, according to its website.

The combo deals are where you're going to save cash. Not only has the company cut the cost of a new resin or filament 3D printer, but it's also coupling the consumables you'll need to print with them. For instance, you can pick up an Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 bundle with 1KG of filament for $270, with the filament only costing you $1. The same applies to its resin printers, too, with a similar deal on the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K for $400.

● Check out Elegoo's 3D printer deals

Elegoo is a big name in the 3D printing world, with some of its models sitting in our best 3D printer guide. These discounts make it a brilliant time to invest in a new printer, whether you're a beginner starting out or a seasoned pro looking to expand their setup further.

Yes, this is officially Elegoo's Black Friday sales event, and it'll be running until December 1, but there's no guarantee that the printers themselves will still be around by then. We've seen stock dry up in previous events from the big brands before the sales are over, so if you want a printer to arrive before the holidays, you'll need to make sure you get your order in sooner, rather than later.

To help you pick, we've put together a list of some of the best Elegoo 3D printers currently on sale below.

● Check out this deal at Amazon

A kit like this gives you the essential tools required to keep your PC repaired and maintained, but it's also a good option for any of those small DIY tasks or hobbyist building tasks. Along with the driver and bits, the brushes, scrapers, and other repair tools will come in useful when you're dealing with small repair jobs at home.

The core part of this set is the precision screwdriver. It has an ergonomic handle and a flexible shaft that lets you get into awkward places, with an extension shaft to get you deeper into those deep PC cases. You've got 120 different bits in this set to use with your driver, too, across all the major head styles, including flathead, Phillips, Torx, and Pozidrive.

This Strebito set also has a magnetizer/demagnetizer tool. This is useful, as it'll let you grab hold of screws, but also weaken the charge if you're worried about electromagnetic interference in your PC case. There's a 5.7 x 3.3-inch magnetic project mat which you can use to keep track of your bits while you're disassembling, or reassembling, your kit.

There's also the set of 22 additional repair tools in this kit that you can take full advantage of. It has a set of brushes, scrapers, a suction cup, spudger, and tweezers. These are tools you'd probably use if you're repairing a laptop or smartphone, for instance.

Whatever you're going to use it for, the $27.99 sale price for this Strebito 142-in-1 precision screwdriver set is one you won't want to miss out on. This is a good all-round start kit for any hobbyist, either for yourself or as a gift. There's also a lifetime guarantee that you can fall back on if you run into any issues.

There's a seriously good price on a HP gaming laptop right now with an RTX 5070 Ti and a top spec AMD Ryzen CPU. HP has cut this HyperX Omen Max 16 gaming laptop down to $2,099.99 right now, or slightly more if you fancy the OLED, giving you a $600 saving in the process.

● Check out this HP laptop deal

The big selling point here is the current-gen Nvidia GPU, giving you the performance you'll need for gaming. The mobile version of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti isn't quite a match for the desktop version, and ships with a set of 5,888 CUDA cores and 12GB GDDR7 VRAM. This is still a 115W GPU with plenty of power for high-resolution gaming, however, especially compared to the CPU's integrated GPU you'd be stuck with otherwise.

There won't be much of an issue here hitting high frame rates on this HP laptop's 1600p display. DLSS support, meanwhile, means you've got breathing room to boost to the best settings, with multi-frame generation able to cut some of the slack with AI-generated frames to give you an uplift in the most power-intensive games.

This is an extremely competitive option for gaming with this discount, offsetting some of the criticisms we made in our HyperX Omen Max 16 review, and the build quality will remain the same, whatever spec you choose. If you change other components, like the RAM, GPU, and display, then performance will vary.

That's because this laptop is heavily customizable, so you can switch up most of its specs, although that will impact the price.

The rest of the specs include an AMD Ryzen AI 7 450. This Zen 5 CPU has eight cores, with a boost clock up to 5.2 GHz. This is a solid enough mid-tier mobile CPU and won't be a huge bottleneck for your ambitions at 1600p. If you need more juice, though, you can choose the 12-core AI 9 HX 475 instead for an extra $140.

The build for $2,099.99 includes 16GB of DDR5 RAM, but you can upgrade to 32GB or 48GB if you want to pay a higher price tag. Likewise, the base model here comes with a 16-inch IPS display with a refresh rate up to 240Hz. If you have an extra $110, though, you can upgrade to an OLED with a refresh rate of 165Hz, or $190 will get you an OLED with a 240Hz refresh rate.

A 512GB SSD is a compromise for the price, offering Gen 4 speeds. You can upgrade to 1TB or 2TB models for higher prices, though. Other areas of the laptop's build quality are worth mentioning, however, with a full-size keyboard that has per-key RGB lighting, as well as liquid metal cooling and a vapor chamber that helps to improve heat dissipation. You've also got several ports to choose from, including two USB-A and USB-C ports each, as well as HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, and Ethernet, as well as Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity.

If your budget goes further, you can pick up an RTX 5080 model for $3,349.99 instead. This rig comes with a 20-core Intel Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus CPU, a 16-inch OLED with a 240Hz refresh rate, 32GB DDR5 and a 1TB SSD, along with one of Nvidia's most powerful GPUs. You're still getting a saving, too, with $650 saved compared to the list price.

Whichever rig you choose, there's a big saving to be had on these high spec HP gaming laptops. The $2,099.99 sale price for this base model HP Omen Max 16 laptop with an RTX 5070 Ti is a seriously powerful option, considering the specs and performance you'll be getting here, along with the build quality. You've got the freedom to customize the build to suit your needs, but doing so will cost you extra.

After a long wait, the much-anticipated release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remaster is upon us, and those who have been lucky enough to nab one of the limited edition consoles, or anyone who has purchased a copy of the game, wait with bated breath for the game to go live. With a Nintendo Switch 2, you can, of course, game on the move, but for the best experience, you can't beat plugging the handheld console into the dock and hooking up the console to a big screen.

You have a couple of options for wirelessly playing your Nintendo Switch 2 console from the couch. You can either disconnect and use the Joy-Con controllers that are bundled with the Switch 2, or you can opt for a more traditional controller. Here are some of the best options for controllers that can easily hook up to the Switch and have you gaming in no time.

Pair the controller up to the Nintendo Switch 2 and enjoy hassle-free wireless connectivity during your gaming sessions. All of these controllers will get the job done. It's more a subjective choice of shape, color, and type of joystick tech such as TMR. You can go for the official Nintendo controller, or opt for something a little cheaper in price, but with identical functionality.

There hasn't been a game launch for the Nintendo Switch 2 that has sparked nostalgia quite like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This is a game that I personally played more than any other game on my Nintendo 64 (even past the Water Temple) as a kid. This remake means that a whole new generation of gamers can experience the joy of playing as Link through Hyrule to awaken the seven sages and save the entire kingdom against evil Ganondorf, while a host of OG players get to experience it in its new, remastered form.

To do that, though, you're going to need enough storage space on your Nintendo Switch 2 to be able to actually install the game. The Switch 2 comes with 256GB of internal storage, but if you've got a full set of games installed, you're going to need to expand it with a microSD Express card. These are next-gen, faster than microSD cards, but typically pricier, unless you can pick up a deal.

Luckily, there are a couple of great deals on microSD Express cards that you can use with the Nintendo Switch 2. These will let you double, triple, or more the internal storage with a card like the Samsung P9, with the 512GB model costing $99.99 right now. If you need an upgrade, here are the deals for cards that you'll want to consider.

Buying a Nintendo Switch 2

Of course, to play Ocarina of Time, you'll actually need a Nintendo Switch 2. If you've not bought one already, you can pick one up for $499 right now at Amazon.

Expect these to be in short supply over the holidays, with possible stock shortages as a popular gift option for gamers.

There's a budget-friendly TP-Link router on sale and it's back down to the lowest ever price we saw it at over Amazon's sales event last month. Right now, the TP-Link Archer BE3600 wireless router is down to $79.98, a 33% saving compared to its list price.

● Check out this deal on Amazon

You won't be surprised to find that this is one of the best Wi-Fi routers you can pick up on a budget, but that's before this discount. You'll see in our TP-Link Archer BE3600 review why this is such a good deal, as this router adds Wi-Fi 7 support to your network cheaply and easily, albeit with a few caveats. Those aside, you're still getting strong performance for 2.4 and 5 GHz with this router.

The BE3600 is not a flashy gaming router, but a no-nonsense option with a standard design that looks very much how you'd expect. It's a flat, rectangular box with four antennas that help deliver good wireless coverage. It has one 2.5 Gbps WAN port to hook it up to your internet connection, as well as an extra 2.5 Gbps and three additional 1 Gbps ports for your home devices.

You've also got one USB 3.0 port, which you can use to connect a printer or external hard drive to use across your network. As far as configuration is concerned, TP-Link's setup is easy to complete using the router's admin page through your browser.

On paper, this is a Wi-Fi 7 router, but there's a compromise you'll need to be aware of. Unfortunately, it doesn't support the full Wi-Fi 7 spec, as it's missing the 6 GHz band. While that is a downside, you do get excellent performance at 2.4 GHz, which is still the dominant Wi-Fi band and one that'll prove useful for any legacy devices you have, especially at close range.

The price is what sells this router, because you'll struggle to find specs and speeds this cheap from other brands. If you're settling for an ISP-issued router, or you need a secondary repeater to cure some Wi-Fi not-spots, then this TP-Link Archer BE3600 (also known as the BE230) is worth considering for its $79.98 sale price. This limited-time deal might not be around for too long, however, so pick it up while you can.

Amazon's discount sister site, Woot!, has slashed the cost of a huge 4K display from big-brand Samsung. For a limited time only, you can pick up this 43-inch Samsung M70F smart monitor for $279.99, a huge $220 discount on its list price, and one that nets you a display with a 4K resolution and integrated smart TV functionality while remaining useful for use as a productivity monitor.

● Check out this Samsung deal on Woot!

This is a dual-use display that'll be useful for people light on space, who want a smart TV that lets them access their favorite streaming services and TV channels, while also hooking it up to their PC for the working day. It's a 4K UHD LED display, with a top resolution of 3,840 x 2,160. It's only 60Hz, so this isn't the best option for a gamer, but it's a good option on a budget otherwise.

This 43-inch smart monitor covers 72% of the NTSC color gamut and is HDR-10 certified, so you can watch HDR content. It comes with a couple of HDMI 2.0 ports, along with a USB-C port, three USB-A ports, and integrated Wi-Fi so you can set it up for independent streaming. It's mountable, too, remaining compatible with typical VESA mounts and with thin bezels all around.

This is a smart TV at its core, so you've got options to either stream via your PC and use it as a monitor or use Samsung TV Plus to enjoy watching live TV channels or on-demand content. It's got AI-assisted features, including an AI picture optimizer functionality that automatically adjusts the brightness, contrast, sharpness, and color tone, depending on what you're watching or working on. There's also an active voice amplifier to automatically adjust the volume when you're in a noisy room.

This Samsung M70F also ships with SmartThings support, so you're able to see all of your compatible smart home devices in a 3D map and manage them, with details about energy usage and cost by device.

The $279.99 sale price for this 43-inch Samsung M70F smart monitor means you can secure a 4K-capable TV and monitor for productivity use for a seriously good price. This budget-friendly option will increase your TV real estate for movies and streaming, although it isn't a good option for gamers. Still, at this price, you're getting an incredible deal, backed by a well-known brand and shipping with a 12-month limited warranty.

You can pick up this 27-inch Acer Nitro (VG277U Xbiip) from Walmart for the staggeringly low price of just $269. A QD-OLED gaming monitor for this price is an absolute steal. The rise of OLED panel technology for gaming monitors has been one of the best things for PC gamers seeking extra fidelity, color, and contrast. OLED panels offer rich color and blacker blacks along with insanely fast gray-to-gray response times. This type of monitor came with a premium price tag originally, but as the technology has matured, the prices have come down a great deal.

● Grab this deal at Walmart

The Acer Nitro VG277U sports a fast 240Hz QD-OLED panel with a 27-inch screen. The display is rated at 400 Nits of brightness, which is more than adequate for a bright display, even in well-lit rooms. The gray-to-gray response time is only 0.03ms due to the OLED tech, which makes gameplay feel incredibly smooth and eliminates ghosting in games with rapid movement.

A crisp 2560 x 1440 pixel (WQHD) resolution means sharp images and clear pictures with 99% DCI-P3 color gamut. For help eliminating any screen tearing from a mismatch between game framerates and screen refresh rates, the Acer Nitro VG277U comes with AMD FreeSync Premium. If you're currently using an IPS or VA-based monitor, a QD-OLED display is a massive step up in response times and color accuracy, and can increase your immersion in your favorite games.

The Acer Nitro VG277U comes with a good amount of connectivity that includes plenty of video ports. You can expect to find 2x HDMI 2.1 ports and 1x DisplayPort 1.4 port. If you want to connect the screen directly to an audio source like headphones or external speakers, there's a 3.5mm headphone output port.

There's a CyberPowerPC gaming PC on sale right now with a $300 discount that you won't want to miss. Best Buy has slashed the price on this rig with a 9800X3D, RTX 5070, 32GB DDR5, and a 2TB SSD, bringing it down to just $2,199.

● Check out this deal at Best Buy

With this machine, you're locking in one of the best gaming CPUs out there with one of Nvidia's current-gen, mid-tier GPUs. These specs unlock serious performance for 1440p and, thanks to the power of Nvidia DLSS and multi-frame generation, you'll be able to uplift to 4K, too. Given how expensive all the major parts are becoming to buy separately, including the RAM, SSD, and a GPU, you'd struggle to build a rig with these specs at this price yourself right now.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D isn't the fastest gaming CPU on the market right now, but it's still our favorite, with performance that's hard to beat. It has eight cores, 16 threads, and a boost clock speed up to 5.2 GHz. More importantly, though, is the 96MB of L3 cache. AMD's 3D V-Cache technology drastically improves frame rates by giving the CPU more memory directly. It doesn't have to drop back down to the slower system RAM while you're gaming, making frame rates better and more stable as a result.

Coupled with the 9800X3D is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070. The RTX 5070 has 6,144 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR7 VRAM, operating on a 192-bit memory bus. As a GPU for gaming, this is a card that will smash through 1080p at super high frame rates, even on Ultra. 1440p is possible, although the most demanding games might require you to drop down a setting or two. With DLSS and multi-frame generation, though, you'll be able to push up to 4K.

There aren't many compromises elsewhere. 32GB of DDR5 RAM is a good amount for modern gaming, with 2TB of SSD storage ensuring plenty of space for a big game collection. There's liquid cooling to keep your CPU cool, too.

If you've got a little extra to spare in your budget, you might want this iBuyPower Trace gaming PC instead. It's another 9800X3D machine, but swapping the RTX 5070 for the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT in an all-white chassis. You're also getting 32GB DDR5 and a 2TB SSD here, too, and all for $2,249.99, saving $250 in total.

Both machines are serious performers in the current market. The $2,199.99 sale price for this CyberPowerPC gaming machine is a good option for 1440p and 4K gaming, but it won't last. If you want to save $300 and grab this high-spec gaming PC for under $2,200, you'll need to be quick.

If you're in the market for a capacious 4TB SSD with Gen 5 read and write speeds, then Corsair has just slashed $180 off its MP700 Pro SE 4TB SSD. The big saving on this drive makes it the cheapest drive at this capacity and speed, and one of the best solid-state deals on the market right now.

● Grab this SSD deal at Corsair

The saving on this drive brings the price down to 14.5 cents per gigabyte. While the cheap storage of last year is now a distant memory, there are still some savings to be had on SSDs, and this is the best deal we've seen in some time. Bearing in mind that we recently covered a much slower Gen 4 990 Pro that was $799, more than $200 more expensive than this.

The MP700 Pro SE is a speedier version of the MP700 Pro. It has much of the same hardware, but Corsair has squeezed more performance out of the controller and flash. This is a brilliant drive that scored highly in our review, earning 4.5 stars and a Tom's Hardware Editor's Choice awards thanks to its top notch all around performance, sustained write performance, and multiple SKUs. As you can see, it excels in our benchmark testing.

The Pro SE delivers improved read and write speeds over the original Pro, with the same average power consumption, and improved endurance. This drive debuted with a price of around $650 at launch, and it comes with a five-year warranty. The 4TB version also comes with 8GB of LPDDR4 DRAM, as opposed to the 4GB you get in the 2TB version.

As per our SSD index and price tracking, this is the cheapest Gen 5 drive at 4TB on the market right now, and as noted, it's a lot cheaper than many slower Gen 4 alternatives given the state of the market. This

It's not even Black Friday yet, although it's not far off. Yet there are still plentiful bargains on monitors ahead of the event. So if you fancy snagging an excellent deal on a brand-new OLED gaming monitor, take a look at this ASRock Phantom Gaming QD-OLED gaming monitor for only $349. A saving of $50 from the $399 list price.

● Grab this deal at Newegg

The ASRock Phantom Gaming (PGO27QFV) gaming monitor is a 27-inch QD-OLED screen with a sharp 2560 x 1440 pixel (QHD) display. It offers a reasonable 275 nits (SDR) and 1300 nits (HDR Peak) brightness, a 99% DCI-P3 and 138% sRGB color gamut, and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400. For high-octane gaming, this monitor delivers an incredible 360Hz refresh rate and, thanks to OLED tech, a 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time.

If you're currently using an IPS or VA-based monitor, QD-OLED is a bit of a step up in response times and color accuracy. Especially when it comes to displaying true blacks on the screen. QD-OLED panels support an incredible contrast ratio of 1,500,000:1, which delivers inky blacks and makes colors pop out of the screen.

The ASRock Phantom Gaming comes with a staggering amount of connectivity that includes a built-in Wi-Fi antenna (7dBi) in the base that's compatible with Wi-Fi 4, 5, 6, and 7. Plenty of video ports that consist of 2x HDMI 2.1 ports, 1x DisplayPort 1.4 port, and 1x USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode and 15W of power delivery. If you want to connect the screen directly to an audio source like headphones or external speakers, there's a 3.5mm headphone output port.

There's an eye-catching saving of $1,229 available right now on an RTX 5070 gaming laptop, thanks to Woot. This 18-inch Alienware Area-51 gaming laptop is down to $2,449.99, a 33% saving that makes it a steal in the current market.

While the specs aren't easily found on the page, the images on the listing do confirm the RAM and storage you're getting with this laptop. For the CPU, it's the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX. It's a 24-core powerhouse with eight performance cores and 16 efficiency cores, with a max boost clock speed of 5.4 GHz.

This is a high spec laptop CPU that'll ensure no bottlenecks at the highest resolutions. It's also used in a couple of our best gaming laptop picks, including the best choice overall, the Razer Blade 18.

This is a laptop, so the display you're getting here is important. You're getting an 18-inch LCD display with a whopping 300Hz refresh rate. The top resolution on this panel is 2,560 x 1,600, and the specs in this build should mean you're able to use the highest graphics presets when playing at 1600p. This model is rated for 500 nits of brightness, too.

To play games at 1600p, though, you're going to need to take advantage of this Alienware laptop's Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 mobile GPU. It's not as powerful as the desktop equivalent, shipping with 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM and 4,608 CUDA cores. This GPU will make light work of gaming at 1600p, especially coupled with the 275HX.

The image carousel also confirms that you're getting 32GB of DDR5, dual channel across two modules, and rated for speeds of 6,400 MT/s. There's also a 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD included for storage, offering Gen 4 speeds, with enough capacity for a few big games alongside Windows. You also get dual USB-C Thunderbolt ports, rated for 40 Gbps for data transfer and display output, as well as an HDMI 2.1 port, 2.5Gb Ethernet, and a headphone jack. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity is included, and there's also an SD card slot if you need it, too.

The $2,449.99 sale price for this 18-inch Alienware Area-51 gaming laptop is one that won't last very long. This Woot deal is set to run out within 7 days, but the stock could well go before then. If you want an RTX 5070 gaming laptop from Dell's premium gaming brand with a huge $1,229 discount, grab this deal while you can.

As prices soar, you'll want to pick up a bargain on storage when you can find it. For a limited time only, you can pick up a 512GB Samsung P9 microSD Express card for just $99.99 at Amazon. This price brings it back down to its original MSRP and means you're saving $50 compared to its current list price. This is the perfect option for a Nintendo Switch 2 owner looking to boost their storage for new games.

● Check out this Samsung deal at Amazon

The Samsung P9 is one of the best microSD Express cards you can buy right now, delivering ultra-fast sequential read speeds of up to 800 MB/s. Those speeds mean it's a great option for installing games and playing them on your Switch 2 without gameplay lag. Write speeds aren't shared, but in this class and capacity, you can usually expect up to 300 MB/s.

You'll want the highest possible write speeds, but for a Switch 2 owner, 300 MB/s is still going to be fast enough to install new games and updates without huge waiting times. The high speeds you're seeing here will mean you won't have too big a bottleneck compared to installing directly onto the Switch 2's internal storage.

That said, these speeds make the Samsung P9 Express up to four times faster than a typical UHS-I microSD card. It also ships with features to help get the most out of your card, including Host Memory Buffer (HMB) functionality to help improve data transfer speeds, along with Dynamic Thermal Guard (DTG) support to help stop the card from overheating and limiting its performance.

microSD cards are small, so durability is an issue to think about, especially if you're handling it often. Samsung reckons this is a model that's well protected, even if you drop it in water, along with protection against extreme temperatures and even X-ray exposure. It has a 3-year limited warranty, and it supports Samsung's Magician software, so you can keep an eye on the card's health, as well as check if it's genuine or not (although that's not an issue here).

The Switch 2 is one of the first consoles to include microSD Express support, so you can use this Samsung P9 Express card's faster storage speeds compared to older UHS-I cards. The $99.99 sale price makes this 512GB Samsung P9 a brilliant bargain to pick up ahead of the holiday season, especially if you're a current or soon-to-be Switch 2 owner. It'll give you a quick-and-easy storage upgrade ahead of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's remaster launching later this week, too.

There's a brilliant discount on a high-spec gaming PC right now that'll net you 4K-ready performance. Newegg has dropped the price on this ABS Stratos II Aqua gaming PC to $2,549.99 right now, netting you a PC with a 24-core Intel CPU and one of Nvidia's best GPUs, along with a $450 saving. This discount is covered by Newegg's Black Friday price protection, so if the price drops again in the big sale, you'll get a refund for the difference.

Newegg owns the ABS brand, so this isn't a knock-off you're getting. It has a good set of specs for a rig that'll handle 4K gaming, shipping with an Intel Core i9-14900KF processor, along with a current-gen Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 32GB of DDR5-6400 memory, and 2TB of SSD storage. Given the current market conditions, these are good specs to find at this price point.

With a machine like this, you're able to ditch 1080p completely. The RTX 5070 Ti is a graphics card that has more than enough performance for gaming at 1440p and 4K, especially if you're able to tweak your graphics settings for the most performing games. It's a good option for a mid-tier build, and it comes with 8,960 CUDA cores, along with 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM.

As this Blackwell GPU is one of Nvidia's latest, you've got fully Nvidia DLSS support included. That includes multi-frame generation, which will give you an AI-generated frame rate boost in any really intensive games, especially at 4K, to make them playable.

As for the CPU, the Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU continues to be a popular choice for gaming PCs at this price point, and despite being a little older, it still packs a punch. You're getting 24 cores here, of which eight are performance cores that will give your machine the best gaming performance. The other 16 are efficiency cores, which are great for multi-threaded tasks. You'll be able to push this CPU's clock up to a massive 6 GHz, too.

Our CPU benchmarks still have a place for the i9-14900K, the same CPU but with an integrated GPU that the 14900KF here lacks. It continues to be one of the best-performing processors on sale for gamers if you're not going all-in with an AMD X3D build.

There are no compromises to be found elsewhere in this rig. 32GB of G.Skill Ripjaws M5 Neo (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000 memory is included here, letting you leave the slower speeds of DDR4 behind. A 2TB Team Group NV5000 SSD is also included in this ABS build, so you'll have space for a good collection of games, with the NV5000 offering Gen 4 speeds.

Prices continue to rise in the PC hardware market, but the $450 discount on this ABS Stratos II Aqua rig, down to $2,549.99, is a good one. You're also able to take advantage of Newegg's Black Friday price guarantee, so if this PC drops down in price over Black Friday, you'll be able to claim back the difference. If you need a new 4K gaming PC on a budget, you'll want to pick up a rig like this one.

Heads up, gamers on the go everywhere. The ever-beloved Nintendo Switch 2 portable console is on sale right this second at Woot. Much like with anything in computing, the console got a $50 price hike to $499 only a couple of months ago, but it's now on offer for $469.99 while stocks last or the month is out. We're going to let you guess which of those conditions is likely to be met first, and we'd strongly advise you to hurry if you're interested.

• Get a Nintendo Switch 2 console at Wood for just $469.

Just like the first iteration, the Switch 2 can be used as a handheld, tablet, or connected to a TV or monitor with a dock. It improves on the original model in nearly every aspect, but chiefly in raw performance, as its SoC got a mighty boost. Whereas the first version made do with four Arm Cortex A57 cores, the newer model employs a CPU with eight cores of Cortex A78C silicon, clocked at up to 1,101 MHz.

The Switch 2 is backward-compatible with the vast majority of Switch 1 games, meaning you don't have to throw away your existing games, plus you can scour the used market for affordable earlier titles.

Most importantly, the GPU moved to an Nvidia Ampere-based design with 1,536 CUDA cores, capable of doing up to 3 TFLOPS in docked mode. Memory bandwidth is 4x that of the previous model. All this results in a massive performance uplift, enabling ray-traced games, 4K gameplay, and variable refresh rates up to 120 Hz — complete with DLSS upscaling.

As if all that wasn't enough, the display is much larger and now has no bezel, measuring 7.9" across, with HDR support. Additional bonuses include Wi-Fi 6 support, a built-in Ethernet port on the dock, 3D audio, and a built-in microphone. If you were on the fence about getting into portable gaming or upgrading from the Switch 1, this deal may just force your hand.

The printer's enclosed steel and glass construction helps maintain consistent internal temperatures, which is particularly important when working with warp-prone materials such as ABS, ASA, polycarbonate (PC), and polyamides (PA), including nylon. It also supports more commonly used filaments like PLA, PETG, and flexible TPU. To make printing with these materials more suitable for indoor environments, the enclosure also features a built-in air filtration system with an activated carbon filter designed to absorb fumes and reduce unpleasant odors during operation.

In our extensive testing of the Bambu Lab P1S, we came away thoroughly impressed and awarded it our Editor's Choice recognition. Other notable features include a proprietary 0.4mm nozzle paired with a direct-drive extruder, wireless connectivity via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, a microSD card slot for loading prints locally, and a built-in LED screen for navigating menus and adjusting settings.

The Bambu Lab P1S combo at its discounted price of $479.99 is an excellent entry point for anyone looking to get into 3D printing without compromising on speed, print quality, or multicolor printing capabilities.

This weekend we celebrate all things Warhammer, and although it might be sharing the date with Halloween, fans of the grimdark franchise will be looking towards a different kind of spooky chaos, and things that materialize from the warp. Warhammer Day 2026 takes place this October 31st, and this is a good time to grab a deal or pick up a gift for yourself to adorn your desktop setup. Maybe even pick up the latest Warhammer 40K-inspired PC games to really jump into the fray.

We've compiled a list of some of the best Warhammer 40K furniture, collectables, and PC games, ahead of the celebrations.

Warhammer 40K Furniture

Secretlab has a range of officially licensed Warhammer 40K furniture that includes both desks and chairs. The chairs are fully decorated with the chapter livery and standards, with skins available to convert existing chairs to the same designs. The desks are just the standard Magnus Pro desks but include a 40K-themed MAGPAD that can also be bought separately if you already own the desk.

Warhammer 40K Peripherals and Collectables

If you're looking for some collectables or ornaments to decorate your gaming setup and add a Warhammer 40K theme this Warhammer Day, then we also have some ideas that include mouse pads, keycaps, Nurgle plushies, a Death Korps rucksack, and some Space Marine figures for decoration.

Warhammer 40K Games

When you're not painting your miniatures or indulging in some tabletop action, relax with some of the best Warhammer 40K games. Bring the grimdark future straight to your gaming PC and satiate the Omnissiah with these great titles. Combat the hive mind as a Space Marine, or jump on board the upcoming Dawn of War IV RTS and command the Space Marines, Orks, Necrons, and the Adeptus Mechanicus.

This budget-focused desktop gaming PC is on sale for a steal at Walmart. Right now, you can save a tidy $350 when you purchase the ABS Cyclone Aqua gaming PC for just $849. A superb deal when you consider the current pricing for PC hardware in general. The original list price of the Cyclone Aqua was $1,199.99, so you're saving just shy of 30% and getting a current-generation graphics card to bring all the latest games to life on your screen.

● Grab this deal at Walmart

This particular SKU of the Cyclone Aqua gaming PC from ABS includes an Intel Core 5 Processor 120 (6-core, 12-thread CPU), an Nvidia RTX 5060 graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. This is a DDR4 memory system, which does date the PC a little, but it also means that getting hold of any extra RAM is also much, much cheaper.

Because this system uses an RTX 5060 inside, you have access to Nvidia's latest DLSS upscaling and multi-frame generation software technology. This helps lower-end systems get a lot more grunt out of their combined parts. The ABS Cyclone Aqua will tear through games at 1080p, but if you want to step up to 1440p resolutions, you may need a little help to reach higher and more stable frame rates. See our GPU Hierarchy chart for where the RTX 5060 sits in comparison to the performance of other graphics cards at 1080p resolution.

The wallet-friendly price of the ABS Cyclone Aqua means you get to spend more money on games, helping to make the most of the PC. Even though this may be a budget-oriented PC, it still comes with all the valuable features you'd like from a modern PC. There's built-in WiFi for easy network connectivity, and plenty of USB ports for your peripherals on both the front and rear IO of the case.

Woot! has a brilliant deal right now on Nintendo's latest handheld gaming console. You can pick up the family-friendly Nintendo Switch 2, along with a free digital game code, for as low as $459 right now if you're a new Woot customer with the SAVETOBER coupon code. If you're not, you can still grab it for $479.

● Check out this deal at Woot

Woot! is Amazon's discount sister site, so you've got the full backing of the huge global retailer behind this deal. $459 is an awesome price for a Switch 2 and a free game, and the good news is, you get to choose the game. Options for you to choose include Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia, which you'll need to download straight onto your Switch 2's storage.

This is a limited-time deal, with only four days left to run at the $519 sale price, but the coupon code is expected to run out tomorrow, November 1, at 11:59 pm ET, but don't expect it to be around even that long. This is a popular console, and as we approach the holiday season, this is the time that consoles like these become tricky to buy. With The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time launching in just a few days, expect to see a huge spike in demand for this console, too.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is Nintendo's second generation of its popular Switch console. It has a 7.9-inch 1080p touchscreen, designed for you to hold in your hands. That said, if you prefer the big-screen treatment, it also has a dock that'll let you play games on a TV for 4K gameplay at up to 120 fps. You're also getting Joy-Con 2 controllers, which you can use attached or detached, depending on if the console is docked or not.

There's 256GB of internal storage included here for games, but the Switch 2 does have support for microSD Express cards to boost this further. If you're planning to install a big game collection, a card upgrade might be a good option. Right now, for instance, you can pick up this 512GB Samsung P9 Express microSD card for $99 at Amazon, another limited-time deal that saves you 34% on its usual price.

As we've mentioned, you also get a free digital game with this Switch 2 deal. Buying Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia separately would cost you between $69.99 and $79.99 at their usual prices, so with these discounts, you're getting a great deal.

The $459 sale price for this Woot! Nintendo Switch 2 bundle is a great option ahead of the holiday season. Don't expect to be able to wait for a better discount in a few weeks, as this is a popular console, and with a huge release like Ocarina of Time on the way, demand might outstrip supply. Just remember to use coupon code SAVETOBER before 11.59 am ET on November 1 at checkout to get the full $60 discount if you're a new customer, or $40 if you've used Woot! before.

You don't have to settle for huge price rises in the PC hardware market. Thanks to Newegg, there's a $1,250 discount right now on a 4K-capable Alienware Aurora DACT1250 gaming PC with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and 32GB of DDR5 RAM for $2,599.99.

● Check out this deal at Newegg

This is Dell's premium brand for gamers and, as you can expect from a premium brand, the prices are usually towards the top end. The $1,250 discount here means you'll be saving a huge sum on a gaming PC with serious firepower for 4K gameplay, putting it at a much better price than you would get elsewhere. This DACT1250 model also comes with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 CPU and a 1TB SSD for storage.

Front and center here is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. This is one of Nvidia's newest Blackwell GPUs but, more importantly, it's the third most powerful consumer GPU of Nvidia's current-gen lineup. It has 8,960 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM, operating on a bigger 256-bit memory bus. This is a card that'll smash through 1080p with the highest frame rates, taking you up to 1440p and 4K with ease.

The VRAM boost to 16GB is important because it means your PC has the opportunity to switch up to 1440p or 4K and run games at high and even graphic presets at those resolutions. 4K, especially with ray tracing switched on, might require a few tweaks to your settings, or involve you falling back on Nvidia DLSS with multi-frame generation for an AI-helped uplift, adding extra frames into the mix for smoother gameplay. The Bench charts and our GPU benchmarks place the RTX 5070 Ti pretty highly compared to rival GPUs.

For the CPU, you're getting the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 here. It ships with 24 cores, eight of which are performance cores, which'll be good for high-performance gaming. You also get 16 efficient cores for multi-threaded tasks. Unlike the 285K, the 285 is locked, meaning you can't overclock it. You get clock speeds as high as 5.7 GHz with the performance cores in action here, though. This Arrow Lake CPU hasn't been a big hitter in the gaming world, admittedly, but the raw power of the RTX 5070 Ti is still formidable, and should help to compensate.

Elsewhere, though, you're getting 32GB of DDR5 memory, so you won't see a bottleneck as far as system RAM is concerned. There's also a 1TB SSD included here, giving you space for a few big games alongside a Windows installation on the same drive.

The $1,250 saving on this pre-built Alienware Aurora DACT1250 gaming PC is a serious bargain, and it means you'll only pay $2,599.99 compared to the original $3,849.99 list price. The RTX 5070 Ti in this build means you've got a GPU ready for 4K gaming, with specs that should keep you going for years to come.

Newegg is offering a stellar deal on this 3-item AM5-based combo. For only $1,069 ($234 off) you get a quality Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wi-Fi 7 motherboard, one of the fastest gaming chips around with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, and the piece de resistance, 32GB of G.Skill Trident Z5 NeoX DDR5-6000 CL36 RAM. With the massive $234 discount, the RAM comes down to $336, a great price for the sad times we’re in.

• Check out this deal on Newegg

The first (and arguably the best) part of this combo is the high-end Trident Z5 NeoX RGB kit in black. You get 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 (36-36-76) timings, which lands right in AMD’s sweet spot for the platform. The matte-black heat spreaders give way to the frosted G.Skill Trident Z RGB feature that runs across the top of each stick. Not only are these priced right in the combo at $336 with the RAM discount, but they also look awesome and pair perfectly with the X870E Aorus Elite Wi-Fi 7 motherboard.

Next is one of the most popular and fastest current-generation gaming CPUs: the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. This 8-core/16-thread Zen5-based processor has a 4.6 GHz base clock and a 5.2 GHz max boost, plenty fast for any task. The X3D variant's 96MB of L3 cache helps with gaming (among other things), making it one of the fastest gaming CPUs available. It is also a well-rounded performer that excels in games and suits most applications. This combo also includes a free MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 240mm AIO (a $72 value), which easily wrangles the 120W processor.

The Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wi-Fi 7 is a well-rounded mid-range motherboard with 12 rear I/O USB ports, including two USB4 (40 Gbps) Type-C ports. It features a capable VRM to power any processor, four M.2 sockets (3x PCIe 5.0 x4), a PCIe 5.0 slot, fast networking with 2.5GbE and Wi-Fi 7, a last-gen flagship-class audio solution, and several “EZ” features like EZ-Latch Plus and EZ-Latch Click to make building easier. It also supports up to 256GB of DDR5 RAM at speeds up to DDR5-8200, which is fast for the platform, as the sweet spot is around 6000-6400 MT/s. The all-black board also looks great in any dark build theme and even adds RGB bling to light up your chassis.

If you’re looking to update your PC or simply build new, this is one of the better 3-item AM5-based combo deals that’s currently active on Newegg. For just $1,069 (a $234 savings), you get quality hardware, including 32GB of G.Skill DDR5 RAM at a reasonable-for-the-time price, plus a free MSI AIO. This deal only runs until 10/31, so get it while it lasts.

Spotting any kind of discount on storage as of late has been a bit of a monumental task, as the prices of HDDs and SSDs have only been going one way, and that's up. Seagate's 16TB Expansion Desktop External HDD is reduced to $399.99 at Newegg, a reduction of $150 from its $549.99 list price and $50 cheaper than its Prime Day price. Not only is that a bit of relief during turbulent storage times, but the price on this HDD is actually better than we saw during Prime Day earlier this month.

● Grab this external HDD deal at Newegg

The Seagate Expansion Desktop 16TB HDD is an all-in-one HDD and enclosure that offers a highly versatile plug-and-play solution for storing or backing up your precious data. Seagate ships the drive formatted to ExFAT, so it'll work with virtually any platform out of the box. Of course, you can reformat the drive to any other file system that suits your use case. This external drive has also been a popular choice for those looking to shuck the Hard Disk out of the enclosure and grab a cheaper HDD for use in a NAS or PC.

The Seagate enclosure has its own power supply, which you'll need to connect to a nearby mains socket, while using a USB 3.0 cable to connect the drive to your PC or laptop for easy drag-and-drop file transfers. Should anything happen to your drive causing it to fail, each purchase comes with Seagate's Rescue Data Recovery service included, just in case you need help to recover your data.

Shucking this drive comes with risks. There's no way to guarantee what version of Seagate HDD is inside; it might be an EXOS, or it might not. But what is guaranteed is that once you open the enclosure and start pulling drives out, your warranty becomes invalid.

If you're looking for 16TB of storage at prices cheaper than the last Prime Day, then today's Newegg deal on this Seagate Expansion Desktop HDD is one of the best storage deals currently on offer.

If you want to start building a new gaming PC without paying huge prices, you'll want to look at this Newegg combo deal. Right now, you can pick up the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, along with an MSI motherboard and 32GB of DDR5 RAM for $1,094.99, saving you $248.99 in total.

● Check out this deal at Newegg

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is one of the best CPUs you can buy for gaming, thanks to AMD's impressive 3D V-cache tech. Alongside the powerhouse 9800X3D is the budget-friendly MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk Wifi and the 32GB of G.Skill Trident X5 NeoX RAM, and you're also getting an MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 240mm AIO liquid cooler thrown in for free.

As deals go, this kit will get you part of the way towards building a 4K-capable gaming PC, although you'll need to source a GPU, SSD, case, power supply, and peripherals, not to mention a monitor. Still, the $248.99 saving isn't one to dismiss, given how expensive PC components have become in the last year, and you can put those savings towards the pricier components left to buy on your shopping list.

There are very few processors able to compete with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. This processor, as our CPU benchmark data will show, delivers seriously good performance for gamers. AMD'S 3D V-cache technology can take much of the glory here, boosting the L3 cache capacity to 96MB. That boost means that the chip doesn't have to drop back to the slower system RAM, giving higher, more stable frame rates for longer in-game.

Specs-wise, you're getting a Zen 5 CPU with eight cores. All eight of them use the full 96MB L3 cache, with clock speeds of 4.7 GHz that can boost to 5.2 GHz. As the Bench data below confirms, at 1080p and better, the 9800X3D is a CPU that sits very, very close to the top, far ahead of Intel rivals.

You need a motherboard with an AMD AM5 socket to run this CPU, which Newegg is providing with the MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk Wifi. This is a budget-friendly board with EZ DIY features for gamers, along with three USB-C ports offering speeds of 40 Gbps. This is a gaming board with four M.2 drive slots, two offering Gen 5 speeds, along with four SATA ports. It has fast networking, with support for Wi-Fi 7 and 6Gb Ethernet. It's black, too, so it won't look out of place in a typical gaming PC build.

Coupled with the Tomahawk is 32GB of memory from G.Skill. This G.Skill Trident Z5 NeoX DDR5 RAM ships with two 16GB modules, in black but with configurable RGB lighting at the top, and offering speeds of 6,000 MT/s. It has CAS and memory timings of 36-36-36-76. Don't forget the MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 240mm AIO cooler worth $72.49 that you're getting, totally free, with this bundle to help keep your CPU nice and cool.

We've seen these Newegg combo deals sell out or get pulled quickly. If you want to take advantage of the $1,094.99 sale price for this 9800X3D bundle with an MSI motherboard and 32GB of DDR5 RAM, then you'll need to be quick. The parts will suit a high-end build for 4K gaming, and the savings you make here can be put towards a new GPU to match.

Spotted at Walmart today, at a pretty good price, is this RTX 5060-powered MSI Crosshair gaming laptop for just $1,249. With price rises across the board on laptops and PCs, it's important to keep an eye out for large discounts on gaming gear. The MSI Crosshair has been discounted by a hefty $750 from its original $1999 list price. This is classed as a budget-oriented gaming laptop due to the specifications, even if the price of the laptop is still over a thousand dollars.

● Grab this Gaming Laptop deal at Walmart

With a fairly large 16-inch screen, the Crosshair pairs its IPS panel with a very crisp resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels (QHD) and superb color resolution with a 100% DCI-P3 gamut. A thin bezel around the screen gives you more viewing area.

Inside the chassis of this gaming laptop is Intel's Core i7-14650HX processor with 16 cores. It's perfect for gaming and for work or study applications. The graphics are powered by a dedicated Nvidia RTX 5060 graphics chip with 8GB of VRAM, and for memory and storage, there is 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512GB NVMe SSD.

Although for the best gaming performance, the laptop will run best on mains power, should you take the MSI Crosshair on the move, it comes with an 80 Wh lithium-polymer battery. For low-light environments or just for a gamer aesthetic, the Crosshair comes with a 4-zone RGB backlit keyboard with 99-key anti-ghost rollover.

For wireless network connectivity, you have Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3; for ports, the MSI Crosshair sports 2x USB 3.0/3.1 Gen1 ports, 3x USB 3.1 Gen2 ports, and USB-C Power Delivery (PD). An HDMI port for video connectivity and a 3.5mm audio port.

Rather than spending $450 on 32GB of DDR5 all by itself, you can save a ton of money when you pick up RAM as part of Newegg's PC component bundles, $350 in this case. In this bundle, you can pick up four parts you need for $1,180.99 in a set that includes the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D with 32GB DDR5, a Gigabyte X870E motherboard, and 2TB of SSD storage.

● Check out this deal at Newegg

The discount knocks $358.99 off the combined price for this kit, meaning you're picking up RAM for the equivalent price of just $151.01. That's a massive discount compared to the current price for 32GB of DDR5 RAM, let alone this particular kit, which would cost you $509.99 if you bought it separately.

The price is even better when you include the freebies. A year's worth of McAfee isn't much to write home about, but a free MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 240mm AIO cooler worth $72.49 certainly is. That'll help you keep the 9800X3D cool, and it's totally free with this kit, too.

This is a significant haul for the price in the current market, giving you several of the components you'd need to kickstart a new 4K gaming PC build. Whether it's $358.99 you're saving, or over $431 if you include the free AIO, you're saving several hundred dollars that you can put towards a case, peripherals, power supply, or that all-important GPU purchase.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is one of the fastest gaming CPUs on the market right now, as you'll see in our CPU benchmark data, and it's still the top option in our best CPU guide. Other chips, like the 9950X3D2, have nudged ahead on performance, but with significantly higher power demands.

AMD dominates the market with its 3D V-cache chips: there just isn't a matching alternative from Intel. The extra L3 cache it provides, with a total of 96MB in the 9800X3D, means that your CPU doesn't have to revert to the slower system RAM. The result is better, more stable frame rates, and overall better gaming performance.

As specs go, you're getting a modern Zen 5 CPU with eight cores. All eight have access to the increased 96MB L3 cache, too. You get a clock speed of 4.7 GHz, which boosts up to 5.2 GHz, and a TDP of 120W. This is a CPU that won't struggle with the demands of 4K gaming with ray tracing, as long as you have a GPU able to match it.

This AM5 CPU needs a motherboard to match, and with this bundle, you're getting the Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wi-Fi 7. This is a mid-tier board for gamers from Gigabyte, and it comes with a set of features designed with gamers in mind. You get 12 USB ports at the back here, with two USB-C ports that give speeds of up to 40 Gbps.

You can install a whole set of M.2 SSDs here, and with the 9800X3D installed, three of them are rated for PCIe 5.0 speeds. 2.5G Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7 support is included, and the board also includes support for up to 256GB of DDR5 RAM for speeds up to 8,200 MT/s.

This bundle isn't quite that good, but you do get 32GB here. Two 16GB modules of Team Group T-Force Delta RGB RAM are included, with speeds of 6,000 MT/s, with CAS and memory timings of 38-38-38-78. Good RAM for gaming, especially with customizable RGB lighting, but it's the price that beats it all. As we mentioned, the discounts applied here mean you're getting this $500+ RAM set for the equivalent of just $151.01.

Oh, and 2TB of SSD storage is included, which'll give you plenty of space for big AAA games alongside a Windows installation. The Team Group NV5000 SSD here is an M.2 NVMe SSD with Gen 4 speeds, and it'll be a good start option in a market where, like RAM, SSDs are becoming very expensive.

This $1,180.99 Newegg combo deal for the 9800X3D, 32GB DDR5, a 2TB SSD, and a Gigabyte AM5 gaming motherboard is a real steal in the market, and one that'll save you $358.99. You won't find 32GB of DDR5-6000 RAM for anything close to the equivalent $151.01 cost you're getting it here. This is a good, core set of parts that'll help you build a new, or upgrade an existing, 4K gaming PC, with that freebie AIO from MSI to help keep it cool.

WD Red Pro hard drives are designed and constructed to be more reliable. These are not your average consumer drives, as they've been engineered to be more robust and cope with vibrations, small shocks, and continuous operation. With NAS drives often operating 24/7, you want reliable hard drives that are up to the task of sustained use. This two-pack of drives instantly starts you off with 20TB of storage capacity.

The benefits of going with NAS-specific WD Red Plus HDDs include the fact that they are optimized for lower power consumption and lower operating temperatures than standard HDDs, ensuring lower electricity bills and hopefully great longevity. These WD Red Plus 10TB drives come with a 3-year limited warranty, which should help you to replace this expensive drive should there be any unfortunate drive failures.

The WD Red Plus drive has a 512MB cache and is rated to operate at speeds of up to 216 MB/s with a 7200RPM speed, supporting a workload of up to 180TB/year. That's a fair amount of data for a single drive, and should give the Red Plus plenty of longevity in your NAS setup.

AI has forced PC component prices up with no slowdown in sight over the last year. While building your own might be expensive, pre-built gaming PCs continue to offer the best value in many cases. With that in mind, you could secure a huge $1,070 discount on an Alienware Aurora gaming PC at Newegg right now, featuring an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 and 32GB DDR5 RAM for $2,199.99.

● Check out this deal at Newegg

Dell's premium Alienware gaming brand usually comes with a price premium compared to budget or no-brand models. With this $1,070 discount applied, you're getting a rig for 4K-capable gaming at a fairer price than you would get by buying from Dell directly. Alongside the RTX 5070, this ACT1250 model ships with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF processor and a 1TB SSD.

The GPU is often the big-selling feature in a gaming PC. With the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070, you're getting one of Nvidia's latest Blackwell GPUs with 6,144 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR7 VRAM, operating on a 192-bit memory bus. What that means for gaming is that you've got a card that will smash through high frame rates, even with the highest graphics presets, at 1080p.

At 1440p, you're also going to see good performance, although the most demanding games might need a drop down or two. You can also fall back to using Nvidia DLSS with multi-frame generation for an uplift, powered by AI to add extra frames into the mix for smoother gameplay, especially if you want to game at 4K. Our GPU benchmarks show that the RTX 5070 is a strong option compared to its rivals, offering slightly better performance than the RTX 4070 it replaces.

You're getting an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF CPU with this build. This is a 20-core Arrow Lake CPU with 20 cores, with eight good-for-gaming performance cores, along with 12 efficient cores for multi-threaded work. This is locked, meaning you can overclock it, and it ships with a max boost clock speed of 5.5 GHz.

This isn't a CPU able to compete with top-spec AMD rivals, but it's a solid enough performer when you couple it with the RTX 5070's power. Elsewhere, though, you're getting 32GB of DDR5 memory, so no compromises there. There's also a 1TB SSD, leaving you enough storage for at least a few big AAA installs.

You'll be saving $1,070 with this pre-built Alienware Aurora ACT1250 gaming PC at this $2,199.99 Newegg sale price. With the RTX 5070 in this build, you've got a 4K-capable machine that'll let you play modern games for years into the future.

While SSD pricing isn't quite as bad as what we see in the RAM market, buying more storage for your PC is still quite painful. Samsung recently released a new 'budget' version of its 990 M.2 SSD, and it just got a surprising $200 discount at Amazon. The 990 2TB SSD is now $329 instead of $529, offering a solid 38% saving.

● Grab this deal at Amazon

The 990 SSD is an interesting product because it is one of the few SSDs released after the AI pricing crunch sent storage prices into orbit. As such, we know what Samsung thinks this drive is worth in the current climate, namely $529. While 2TB of storage would have been much cheaper a year ago, a 38% discount on a new SSD is not to be sniffed at, especially given all signs point to these drives getting more expensive, not cheaper, in the future.

We reviewed this drive at launch last month and liked its full-fledged Gen 4 throughput, decent power consumption, and good all-around performance. The 990 is essentially a QLC-based 990 EVO Plus, featuring Samsung's PiccoloQ controller and V9 QLC Flash memory.

As you can see from our testing data, it scores very close to the 990 EVO Plus in latency testing, while beating the 990 EVO drive in bandwidth and 3DMark overall score.

This drive also scored well in our PS5 test, so this drive could serve as an expansion drive for your shiny new PlayStation if you so choose. At its original list price, this drive makes no sense as a purchase up against the 990 Pro or Samsung's Gen 5 9100, but at this price it is a good chunk cheaper than both of those options.

Amazon does have a 36% discount on the 990 Pro 2TB, now $409 instead of $639 if you want to spend a bit more on that slightly more performant drive. Or, if your motherboard supports Gen 5, you might want to eat the $85 jump for the 9100 Pro 2TB, currently $415 at Amazon. This regular 990 also has a 1TB model on sale, but that discount is just 17%, so its $189.99 price tag makes it poorer value compared to this 2TB model.

As we approach the end of 2026, these storage prices remain tough to stomach, but things don't look like they are going to improve any time soon. In fact, all signs point to the AI pricing crunch continuing to make things worse going forward, meaning leaving it too long could make storage even more expensive in the future.

The Acer Predator XB27OU sports an impressive 99% DCI-P3 color gamut, a Delta E<2 accuracy, and even supports HDR10, a 10-bit color solution that improves contrast, color depth, and brightness compared to standard dynamic range.

You can connect your gaming PC and even a couple of game consoles thanks to the inclusion of two HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4 port. Plenty of connections for the ultimate gaming battlestation.

Pre-built gaming PCs continue to provide some of the best value for gamers, especially if they're discounted. With that in mind, you can pick up this ABS Stratos II Ruby gaming PC for $2,549.99 right now at Newegg. You'll be saving $450 on a machine fitted with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, and 32GB of fast DDR5 RAM.

● Check out this deal at Newegg

ABS builds are all over Newegg, which is no surprise, as the tech retailer owns the brand. As specs go, this is a rig that'll sit pretty near the top as far as performance goes. That's due to the combination of the 9800X3D, still one of the best CPUs available for gaming right now, with the RTX 5070 Ti. That GPU is current-gen and high-end, giving you a machine that'll give you high frame rates in the best games for years to come.

You'll see from our 9800X3D review why this eight-core AMD X3D chip is a formidable option for any gamer. AMD's 3D V-cache sets the scene, as this game-changing tech boosts the available L3 cache capacity to 96MB. Doesn't sound like much, but it means that your CPU doesn't have to fall back to the slower system RAM as often. That reduces latency, giving you better, more stable frame rates while you game.

The 9800X3D isn't at the very top in our CPU benchmarks anymore, but it's damn close, and it's still the top recommendation for most gamers. There isn't an Intel alternative that can truly rival the performance of an X3D chip like the 9800X3D, either. If 4K gaming with high, stable frame rates is your goal, then the 9800X3D will give you that in spades.

Alongside the 9800X3D is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. This Nvidia Blackwell GPU has 8,960 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM. This is a GPU that leaves 1080p in the dust, as this mid- to high-tier option is a 1440p and 4K powerhouse. It has the latest Nvidia tech baked in, too, including DLSS with multi-frame generation.

4K with ray tracing, supported by MFG if necessary, means you'll get high frame rates in current-gen games. Expect to use the best graphics presets, but you might need to tweak them for the most demanding games if you're playing at 4K. Luckily, 16GB of VRAM means you've got plenty of breathing room, especially compared to the lower-end RTX 5060 or RTX 5050 with 8GB of VRAM.

There aren't any compromises elsewhere in this build. You've got 32GB of G.Skill Ripjaws M5 Neo RGB DDR5 memory, split across two 16GB modules, with speeds of 6,000 MT/s. There's also a 2TB Team Group NV5000 M.2 SSD included here, offering Gen 4 speeds, with enough space for several big game installations. There's also Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless connectivity, along with Ethernet, and the CPU is liquid cooled with a Bitspower 240mm AIO liquid cooler.

This $2,549.99 ABS Stratos II Ruby gaming PC is a great deal in the current market, especially fitted with the formidable combination of the 9800X3D and RTX 5070 Ti. Buying it now means you're saving $450 on its list price, but it's also the cheapest RTX 5070 Ti gaming PC you're able to buy on Newegg right now. Expect a deal this good to sell out fast.

There are a host of great laptop deals at Best Buy at the moment, but one of my favorites today is this fantastic $950 saving on an RTX 5070-powered Alienware 16X Aurora gaming laptop with OLED display for $1,949.99. A significant drop in price from the original $2,899.99 list price. A great choice for a gaming laptop that also doubles as a competent computer for work and studying.

The Alienware 16X Aurora is a premium gaming laptop with a Core Ultra 9 290HX processor, a high-performance CPU featuring 24 cores and a boost clock speed of up to 5.5GHz. This is one of Intel's top laptop processors and an excellent gaming CPU. For the graphics, this model of the 16X Aurora uses Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, which is an excellent choice not only for powering your games to life, but also for getting the most out of the Aurora’s crisp 16-inch OLED 2560x1600-pixel display.

Having an OLED screen means the 16X Aurora will have an insanely low gray-to-gray response time of just 0.03ms, excellent for super smooth motion when gaming, plus the display sports a rapid refresh rate of 240Hz and a maximum screen brightness of 500 nits. Oh, and of course, amazing contrast, inky blacks, and eye-popping color representation.

Finishing up on what major components are inside this model of the Alienware 16X Aurora, we have 16GB of DDR5-5600 MT/s memory and a spacious 1TB SSD for storage, ample room for your favorite games.

We reviewed the Alienware 16X Aurora gaming laptop back in September of this year, praising the excellent 16-inch OLED display, solid gaming and productivity performance, sturdy, understated design, broad port selection, and good upgrade prospects. Making it an easy decision to award the laptop 4 out of 5 stars.

We tested the less powerful variant of the 16X Aurora, in its entry-level configuration, featuring a Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus processor, a GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, and 16GB of dual-channel DDR5-5600 RAM. It performed well against its peers, as you can see from the chart below, but bear in mind that the performance of this model will be higher due to the more powerful CPU and GPU combination.

So if you're looking for a powerful and well-built gaming laptop that also comes with a gorgeous 16-inch OLED display, this could be the option for you. With a price drop of $950, this is a great moment to snag a deal on a new gaming laptop.

Building a new gaming PC, especially one fit for 4K gameplay, isn't cheap at the moment. PC hardware prices have shot up over the last year, with RAM, SSDs, and new graphics cards all becoming extremely expensive. Still, if you're thinking about building a new rig or upgrading your existing one, you'll want to consider this Newegg combo deal that combines the formidable AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D with 32GB DDR5 and a Gigabyte X870E motherboard for just $1,029.99 right now.

This kit means you'll save $238.99 by buying these components together compared to picking them up separately. That doesn't include the freebies you get with this deal, either, with a Cooler Master Elite Liquid Cooler 240 CPU AIO included for free, worth $79.99, along with a copy of Onimusha: Way of the Sword, worth $69.99.

This kit gives you the bare bones you'll need for your next 4K gaming PC. The extra savings, whether it's the $238.99 on the three parts here, or the full $388.97 if you include the freebies, will give you spare cash that you can put towards other parts for your build, whether that's a GPU, case, or any peripherals you need.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the real showstopper in this bundle. This is one of our favorite gaming CPUs, and one of the fastest, as our CPU benchmark data will confirm. You won't find better options for gaming than an X3D chip from AMD; the tech has allowed AMD to dominate the market in recent years, with the extra 3D V-Cache giving the total L3 cache a boost to 96MB. That'll have a noticeable impact on gaming performance, with your PC needing to drop down and rely on the slower system RAM less.

This is a Zen 5 CPU with eight cores, and all eight are able to take full advantage of that increased 96MB L3 cache. It has a standard clock speed of 4.7 GHz, which can boost up to 5.2 GHz. As the benchmarks show, the end result for gamers is higher, more stable frame rates compared to any non-X3D rivals.

The 9800X3D needs an AM5 motherboard to power it, which is what you're getting with the Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wi-Fi 7 Ice. This is a mid-tier offering from Gigabyte, with Ice referring to its fully white colorway, that comes with a range of gaming-friendly features. It has no less than 12 USB ports at the back, including two USB-C ports that are rated for speeds of 40 Gbps.

You also get four M.2 sockets for a whole set of SSDs, with three of them rated for PCIe 5.0 speeds over four lanes with this 9800X3D installed. One further slot is rated for PCIe 4.0 SSDs, too. Fast networking is included here, with 2.5G Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7 support as standard. You also get the ability to install a whopping 256GB of DDR5 RAM over four DIMM slots, with speeds of up to 8,200 MT/s.

While this deal doesn’t quite stretch to 256GB (sky-high RAM prices make that impossible at the moment), you’re still getting a fast set of 32GB memory from G.Skill. This G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5 RAM is white to match the motherboard, with two 16GB modules offering speeds of 6,000 MT/s. It's RGB, too, which you can configure at the top. It has CAS and memory timings of 36-36-36-76.

Newegg combo deals come and go, but the $1,029.99 sale price for this 9800X3D bundle with a Gigabyte motherboard and 32GB of DDR5 RAM makes it one you'll want to pick up while you can. You've got a core set of parts here to start building out a 4K rig, especially with the Cooler Master AIO for free on top, as long as you get a GPU to match. Expect to see a deal like this sell out quickly.

At one point in time, it was the fastest PCIe Gen 4 drive you could buy. Now, the next generation of PCIe 5.0 drives is available, but the 4TB Samsung 990 Pro still offers extremely fast performance and whopping amounts of capacity in a single-sided M.2 2280 form factor. The main issue at the moment is price. Thanks to the AI boom driving up the prices of memory and storage, SSDs have reached insane highs, so to be able to take advantage of a large 27% discount in these times is nothing to be sniffed at. The 4TB Samsung 990 Pro has fallen from $1,099 to this new price of $799.90, a saving of over $300. This works out as roughly 20 cents per Gigabyte of storage capacity.

● Grab this SSD deal at Amazon

Having reviewed the Samsung 990 Pro 4TB when it was released, we found it to be one of the best 4TB SSDs on the market and among the best SSDs overall. The 990 Pro boasts maximum sequential reads of 7,450 MB/s and sequential writes of 6,900 MB/s, with random reads/writes coming in at 1.6 million and 1.55 million IOPS, respectively, while endurance is rated for 2,400 TBW.

Samsung uses 236-layer TLC V-NAND to achieve its 4TB capacity, while also using a single-sided design, making the 990 Pro ideal for use in computers where space is a finite resource. When we tested the Samsung 990 Pro 4TB, we found it scored above the competition on almost every test. On 3DMark's storage test, it had the lowest latency result, a big plus for responsive load times in gaming.

The Samsung 990 Pro is also excellent at sustaining strong write performance. In our IOMeter sustained sequential write tests, the 4TB 990 Pro was able to maintain a speed of 6.2 GB/s for 75 seconds thanks to its generous 10GB of pSLC cache. Once the data spills over into the TLC, it operates at 1.6 GB/s. The Samsung 990 Pro is also a leader in power efficiency, delivering 421.1 MB/s per watt. That number puts it ahead of all competitors but the Addlink A93 4TB and Lexar NM790 4TB.

The Samsung 990 Pro is certainly nowhere near the all-time low prices of years gone by, and I'm not sure at the moment when, if at all, we'll ever see those low prices again on storage, certainly not for some considerable time. If you want 4TB of storage now, then the Samsung 990 Pro is a formidable choice; just try to grab it when there's as much of a discount as possible.
