Best gaming desktop computer deals
Legion Tower 5i, Core Ultra 7 265F/RTX 5060 Ti/16GB RAM/1TB SSD—$1,250 (20% off on Amazon)
The Legion Tower 5i deal for $310 off on Amazon is my budget deal of the week. Considering the economy we’re living in now with inflated PC parts, getting a prebuilt system with a Core Ultra 7 and RTX 5060 Ti for this price is a steal—and they even provide 1TB of onboard SSD storage too boot. You can snag this excellent budget gaming desktop from Lenovo, but only while Amazon’s Big Spring Sales event is happening so don’t hesitate as this is actually a great value.
iBuyPower Element SE, Core i5-14400F/RTX 5060/16GB RAM/1TB SSD—$1,050 (13% off on BestBuy)
Not to be outdone, BestBuy has its own great budget deal this week in the iBuyPower Element SE for $150 off. It’s less powerful than the Lenovo above in just about every way, but it’s also a lot cheaper. And with the Core i5 and RTX 5060 GPU, you can still enjoy 1080p gaming at decent framerates on all of your favorite titles. Plus, even though it’s a good deal cheaper, you still get 1TB of onboard storage so there’s value to be had here for those on a tighter budget.
Skytech Storm, Ryzen 7 7700/Radeon 9060 XT/32GB RAM/2TB SSD—$1,500 (12% off on Skytech)
If you’re looking for a midrange gaming PC, then the Skytech Storm for $200 off on Skytech’s website is the deal to get right now. A Radeon 9060 XT graphics card can perform well at 1440p and even handle demanding AI workloads thanks to its 16GB of VRAM. The addition of 32GB of RAM and generous 2TB of onboard SSD storage is the icing on the cake. With PC component prices near all-time highs, this midrange build from Skytech is a bargain.
Skytech Rampage2, Ryzen 7 7700X/RX 9070 XT/16GB RAM/1TB SSD—$1,630 (17% off on BestBuy)
BestBuy is offering a good deal on the Skytech Rampage2 for $326 off on its site. The Ryzen 7 7700X has great clock speeds for productivity tasks and the RX 9070 XT, while often overshadowed by Nvidia’s RTX 5070, actually outperforms it in rasterization and offers a superior 16GB VRAM—making it a strong midrange gaming GPU. Sure, I wish they would include more than 16GB of RAM in a PC this expensive, but it’s enough for gaming so if that’s your main concern, you should be fine. This is a sneaky good deal with all AMD components that shouldn’t be overlooked this week.
Alienware Aurora, Core Ultra 7 265F/RTX 5070 Ti/32 GB RAM/1TB SSD—$2,250 (18% off on Dell)
This Alienware Aurora for $480 off on Dell is one of the best mid-tier gaming PC deals right now. You can expect superb 1440p or solid 4K gaming thanks to the powerful Core Ultra 7 and RTX 5070 Ti combo. Plus, it comes with a 1000W PSU so you can upgrade in the future to more powerful components without worrying about power plus a 240mm liquid cooler.
Asus ROG G700, Core Ultra 7 265F/RTX 5070/32GB RAM/1TB SSD—$1,944 (15% off on Amazon)
Amazon is offering this Asus ROG G700 with strong midrange performance features for $356 off. The Core Ultra7 265F processor and RTX 5070 GPU are more than enough for smooth 1440p gaming—or even some decent 4K gaming as well. Plus, the 32GB of DDR5 RAM is a welcomed upgrade for those who are going to use this PC for productivity work as well. Asus has also designed this case for tool-less access, so you can easily swap out and upgrade components in the future.
Best mini-PC deals
GMKtec M8, Ryzen Pro 6650H/16GB RAM/512GB SSD/triple 4K support/Oculink—$390 (19% off on Amazon)
My top deal this week for AMD mini PCs is the GMKtec M8 for $90 off on Amazon. For the price of a budget mini PC, you get powerful midrange components and excellent extras. The Ryzen Pro 6650H and 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM are plenty for all of your productivity tasks. Storage is good too at this price with 512GB of onboard SSD storage and capacity for up to 4TB if you decide to upgrade. The kicker is the addition of an Oculink port, which allows you to connect an exterior GPU to turn it into a full gaming station.
GMKtec K8 Plus, Ryzen 7 8845HS/Radeon 780M/32GB DDR5 RAM/2TB SSD/Oculink/quad 4K support—$810 (14% off on Amazon)
This GMKtec K8 Plus for $160 off on Amazon is an absolute steal if you’re in the market for a high-end mini PC. The Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU and integrated 780M GPU means not only can this handle all of your productivity tasks with ease, but it can also do some gaming as well. Plus, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a massive 2TB of onboard storage will have your apps and programs up and running smoothly without concern for system resources. It even comes with Oculink in case you want to hook up a more powerful discrete graphics card for more extensive gaming.
Acemagic M1, Core i9-11900H/32GB RAM/1TB SSD/triple 4K support—$540 (33% off on Amazon)
It’s not too easy to find mini PCs with powerful Intel chips right now—especially at good prices. That’s why the Acemagic M1 for $260 off on Amazon is such a good deal. A powerful Core i9 processor combined with 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a generous 1TB of onboard SSD storage is a real bargain at this price. There is also room to expand the RAM to 64GB or add an additional M.2 PCIe 3.0 SSD if you want to upgrade in the future.
Kamrui Hyper H2 Mini, Core i7-13620H/32GB RAM/1TB SSD/triple 4K support—$510 (38% off on Amazon)
Similar to the above Acemagic M1, this Kamrui Hyper H2 Mini for $310 off is a good deal on Amazon. The 13th-gen Core i7 processor might not be the latest, but it’s still a mid-to-high end CPU that can churn out excellent performance with demanding multitasking and productivity work. The Hyper H2 Mini also comes with a good amount of DDR4 memory and expandable M.2 slots for up to 4TB if you decide to upgrade in the future. It’s a good all-around deal if you’re looking for a strong Intel-powered mini PC.
Acemagic M5, Core i5-14500HX/32GB DDR4 RAM/1TB SSD/triple 4K support—$550 (31% off on Amazon)
The Acemagic M5 for $250 off is a really good midrange mini Intel PC deal on Amazon. The Core i5-14500HX, while not as common, can perform nearly as well as the much more expensive Core i9-13900HK. It’s also packing 32GB of RAM, and even though its DDR4, that’s enough to make this a more than capable office or everyday PC. The M5 also comes with fantastic connectivity features such as six USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a Type-C port, HDMI 2.0, and DisplayPort 1.4b, among others.
Best all-in-one computer deals
Lenovo 24 AiO, Core i3-N305/16GB RAM/1TB SSD/24-inch 1080p display—$700 (22% off on Amazon)
The Lenovo 24 AiO for $200 off on Amazon is an excellent deal for an everyday office all-in-one. It might not have all of the bells and whistles of some other AiOs, but for a lower price you’ll get solid productivity performance. It also comes with excellent connectivity features including 4x USB-A (two of which are USB 3.2 Gen 2), HDMI, and an Ethernet port as well. Plus, Lenovo machines are known to be ultra-reliable, so you can purchase it and be set for years to come.

Computer deals FAQ
What are good websites to find computer deals?
There are a ton of sites that sell computers, and scouring through all of them would take you a lot of time—that’s why we do it for you here and highlight the best deals we find. However, to save you some time and frustration, you need to be smart about where you look at any given time of the year.
If you’re looking for a new computer during the holidays or around popular sale periods such as Black Friday or back-to-school, then you are likely to find great deals directly through first party vendor websites. These include the retail storefronts of popular computer manufacturers such as HP, Dell, and Lenovo.
However, if you are looking in between sales periods, it’s generally a good idea to search through large third-party retailers such as Amazon, Adorama, Walmart, BestBuy, and Newegg. Oftentimes these websites will offer limited Deals of the Day type sales in hopes of getting rid of excess stock. On the upside, you can score still-decent PCs at a steep discount.
When’s the best time to shop for a PC computer?
Typically you’ll want to time your PC computer shopping around a prominent sales period. The biggest sales periods are Black Friday/Cyber Monday in late November and Amazon Prime Day in early-to-mid July. The best sales often occur leading up to and during these two events and they are great times to snag a new PC computer for cheap. Other holiday shopping periods such as the New Year sales in January, President’s Day sales in February, and the back-to-school sales event in August are also good times to find discounts on computers.
What type of desktop should I get?
You’ll see a ton of options when searching for a desktop computer, but they all mainly fit into four main categories: productivity tower PCs, gaming PCs, mini PCS, and all-in-ones (AiO). Which you should end up buying is entirely dependent upon what your needs are and what you want to do with your computer. If you are looking for something that will work in a home office or family room, then a productivity PC or AiO with a solid CPU and lots of RAM and storage is probably the way to go. If gaming is your main concern, a gaming PC can offer a lot more bang for your buck than a laptop and you should focus on getting the best GPU possible. Or if you just want something that can fit anywhere and provide basic computing then a mini PC is a good bet.
What CPU and GPU should I get?
When looking at your new computer’s CPU, get at least an Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5, both of which will provide plenty of processing power for everyday computing tasks. If you don’t intend to do any PC gaming, then feel free to save some money by going with integrated graphics. However, if you are looking to get your game on, we recommend at least an Nvidia GeForce 3060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, as these are the least expensive discrete graphics cards that can handle ray tracing well. If you aren’t interested in those cutting-edge lighting effects, however, the RTX 3050 and Radeon RX 6600 also provide decent 1080p gaming performance at even lower prices.
The RTX 5070 is a strong midrange card that will allow for high settings at 1440p while the RTX 5080 is capable of decent 4K gaming if that’s more your speed. For those who won’t compromise for anything besides the best, the RTX 5090 is really your only option currently.
How much memory and storage does my PC need?
As for RAM, we think its best to shoot for 16GB at the minimum for productivity and gaming, but for family computers and internet browsing, 8GB should suffice.
Storage size is dependent upon your personal needs, but it is generally a good idea to opt for an SSD over an standard HDD as they are much faster and don’t significantly affect the price of a desktop. Before deciding, it’s best to consider what your intended use of the computer will be. Are you just doing work or web browsing? Then something like 512GB will be plenty. If you want to load up a lot of large files such as games or content creation projects, then you’ll need at least 1 or 2TB or storage. However, just remember that even if your computer doesn’t have enough storage built-in you can always upgrade your SSD or go with an external drive to increase your available storage options.
Is it a good idea to buy a refurbished computer?
Refurbished computers are used machines that have been repaired, upgraded, and cleaned for the purpose of reselling. They’re usually open-box returns, overstock, or models with minor cosmetic damage (scratches, scuffs, etc). Refurbished computers can be a bargain hunter’s dream as they’re likely still in good (or great) condition and you can save a lot of money. That being said, refurbished computers can have their downsides as well. In addition to cosmetic blemishes, some of the internal components might be a little older or outdated and they might not be in peak condition due to previous usage.
If you do consider buying a refurbished computer I recommend looking at eBay as they offer a one-year warranty. You can also check out manufacturer’s retail storefronts like Dell’s Outlet Store and Apple’s Refurbished Store—just be sure to look at the terms of warranty offered before purchasing.
