Best gaming desktop computer deals
CyberPowerPC Desktop, Ryzen 7 9700X/RTX 5060 Ti/16GB RAM/2TB SSD—$1,300 (10% off on BestBuy)
The CyberPowerPC Desktop on BestBuy is my favorite gaming deal to get this week. In an era of unprecedented price inflation on gaming desktop hardware, this build from CyberPowerPC is practically a miracle. The Ryzen 7 9700X CPU and RTX 5060 Ti combo are perfect for high framerate 1080p or 1440p gaming. It comes with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a whopping 2TB of SSD storage—typically you have to pay twice as much to find a pre-built system with the same amount. Sure, it’s more expensive than it would’ve been a year or so ago, but at the moment, this is best budget deal you’re likely to find.
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.
Acer Nitro 60, Core i5-14400F/RTX 5060/16GB RAM/1TB SSD—$1,030 (14% off on Amazon)
The Acer Nitro 60 for $170 off on Amazon is another solid budget deal right now. Acer is a well-known and loved PC brand and its gaming desktops are always well-built. Understated RGB and a slick matte-black finish make for an attractive desktop. The included Core i5 processor and RTX 5060 GPU are strong budget-level gaming hardware, too.
HP Omen 35L, Core i5-14400F/RTX 5060/16GB RAM/512GB SSD—$1,090 (30% off on HP)
Another budget deal worth considering is the HP Omen 35L for $480 off on HP’s website. It’s a similar build to the Acer above, but comes with less onboard SSD storage. And while they both offer 16GB of RAM, this HP comes with 6,000 MT/s while the Acer only has 4,800 MT/s so here you’re getting faster RAM if that matters to you—for gaming there will be slight improvement, but you won’t likely notice for everyday productivity tasks.
HP Omen 45L, Core Ultra 7 265K/RTX 5070 Ti/32GB RAM/1TB SSD—$2,220 (11% off on Amazon)
For something a bit more powerful, the HP Omen 45L for $280 off on Amazon represents an intriguing bargain. On the one hand, desktop gaming PC prices are near an all-time high so this isn’t the cheapest a build like this has ever been, but as of right now, you won’t find any mid-to-upper-range build with this much value. A Core Ultra 7 265K processor and RTX 5070 Ti are nothing to scoff about so if you absolutely need a powerful gaming PC right now, go with this.
Alienware Aurora, Core Ultra 7 265F/RTX 5070 Ti/16GB RAM/1TB SSD—$2,100 (15% off on Dell)
This Alienware Aurora for $380 off on Dell is one of the best higher-end gaming PC deals right now. You can expect flawless 1440p—or even smooth 4K—gaming thanks to the powerful Core Ultra 7 and RTX 5070 Ti combo. At this price point I wish it would have come with more than only 16GB of RAM though, even if that should be enough to game with. Still, it’s hard to argue with all of the pure gaming value stuffed into this rig.
LXZ Gaming Desktop PC, Core i5-14400F/RTX 5060/32GB RAM/1TB SSD—$1,100 (15% off on Amazon)
If you’re looking for something with more RAM than the other budget picks above, then the LXZ Gaming Desktop PC for $200 off on Amazon is the way to go. With RAM prices soaring right now, getting 32GB of DDR5 RAM in a prebuilt gaming PC for a reasonable price is no joke. All of the other features including the Core i5 CPU and RTX 5060 GPU will allow you to crank up the settings at 1080p as well.
Best mini-PC deals
Kamrui AM21, Ryzen 7 8745HS/Radeon 780M/32GB RAM/1TB SSD/quad 4K support—$560 (20% off on Amazon)
The Kamrui AM21 for $140 off is a step up from the Acemagician below. It boasts the same powerful Ryzen 7 processor and Radeon 780M GPU, but doubles the RAM and SSD storage. And even though it’s a bit more expensive, it adds impressive support for quad 4K displays—I don’t know about you, but that’s more 4K monitor ports than I’ll ever user. If you’re willing to part with the extra $70, this is a worthy upgrade to splurge on right now.
Beelink SER5 Max, Ryzen 7 6800U/24GB RAM/500GB SSD/triple 4K support—$399 (13% off on Amazon)
If you’re looking for something a bit more budget friendly, but with enough juice to handle day-to-day tasks or act as an entertainment hub, then the Beelink SER5 Max Mini PC deal on Amazon is a good option. Decent performance features such as the powerful Ryzen 7 CPU along with 24GB of DDR5 RAM and support for three 4K displays are about as good as you can get at this price point.
GMKtec M2 Pro, Core i7-1185G7/16GB DDR4 RAM/512GB SSD/triple 4K support—$389.99 (29% off on Amazon)
This deal for the GMKtec M2 Pro is just a good overall bread-and-butter mini PC deal. The Core i7 processor and 16GB of DDR4 RAM means it’s powerful enough to handle your productivity and everyday work tasks. It comes with enough SSD storage to save just about everything you need—and includes an additional M.2 slot in case you want to upgrade later. It might not be fancy, but this is a good price for a mini PC that’ll be sufficient for most everyone’s needs.
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 a 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.
Mac mini 2024, M4/16GB RAM/256GB SSD—$500 (17% off on Amazon)
Apple computers are rarely on sale, and even when they are the deals aren’t usually very good. Regardless, you can still save yourself some money thanks to this Mac mini 2024 deal for $55 off on Amazon. It comes with the latest M4 chip for top-notch performance and you don’t even need to pay extra to receive 16GB of RAM. It’s one of the best mini PCs on the market for a reason. Grab it while it’s still on sale.
Best all-in-one computer deals
Lenovo 24 AiO, N100/16GB RAM/512GB SSD/24-inch 1080p display—$500 (37% off on Amazon)
The Lenovo 24 AiO for $300 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 much lower price you’ll get solid productivity performance. It also comes with excellent connectivity features including 4xUSB-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.
HP OmniStudio X AiO, Core Ultra 5 226V/16GB RAM/512GB SSD/31.5-inch 4K display—$1,236 (32% off on HP)
The HP OmniStudio X AiO for $590 on HP’s website is a bit more of a splurge, but oh, what a worthy splurge it is. Not only do you get good multitasking performance thanks to a Core Ultra 5 processor, but you also get a stunning 31.5-inch 4K display along with it. And if the 512GB SSD isn’t enough then you can always pick up a good external drive for cheap if need be.
Apple 2024 iMac M4, 8-core M4/16GB RAM/256GB SSD/24-inch 4.5K display—$1,192 (8% off on Amazon)
Everyone knows that Apple deals are rare, and that’s why this Apple 2024 iMac M4 for $107 off is a must-buy for Mac fans. Thanks to the latest M4 and added 16GB of RAM, this iMac is an excellent option for your home office or multimedia computer. It can even handle some modern games if you so choose. Plus, the 24-inch 4.5K Retina display makes for gorgeous viewing.
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 April, 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.
