Checking over deals every week, I’m used to seeing the US get most of the best hardware prices—yet, with Amazon Gaming Week happening in the UK right now, I’ve finally been given the chance to sound off on some of the best deals for us Brits.
UK prices mean you can actually buy a graphics card below MSRP (though I think a bundle is your best bet today), and there are a whole host of extra goodies out there to shop through, too.
Most of my picks today are either at the very lowest I’ve ever seen them at, or close enough that I’d go out and buy them myself. From a gaming chair, to a budget mouse, all the way to one of my favourite gaming keyboards, here are the deals I’d pick up in Amazon’s Gaming Week.

MSI RTX 5070 and Spatium 1 TB SSD
If you haven’t made the upgrade to Nvidia’s Blackwell yet and have been searching for a good opportunity, this RTX 5070 bundle will not only get you the card but also 1 TB of SSD storage thrown in alongside it.
We noted in our RTX 5070 review that, if AMD could stick the landing with pricing around RX 9070 XT, that’s where our money would be going. Unfortunately, it’s worth noting that we’re talking about an extra £100 thrown onto that price, and you don’t get an SSD with it.
The value proposition of the RTX 5070 makes a bit more sense at this price point, and you’re still getting a competent card that is pretty stunning when it comes to its Multi Frame Gen support. It’s a great performer, even if it’s not much faster than the RTX 4070 Super it’s replacing. If you’d prefer an RTX 4070 Super (the card in my rig), you can pick one up on sale for £521, though my money would be going on the 5070 here.
It’s worth noting that, despite the Amazon listing saying this is the 3X version of the card, it’s not. This is the 2-fan RTX 5070. It seems like an honest mistake, but worth noting nonetheless.
As far as the MSI Spatium M470 SSD is concerned, this Gen 4×4 M.2 bit of storage has read speeds up to 6,000 MB/s and write speeds up to 5,000 MB/s. This is all to say it should be plenty speedy, and it’s capacious enough to get a handful of the biggest games stored at one time. No more deleting a game to make room for one more. Well, at least no more for a while.
AndaSeat Phantom 3
AndaSeat make a whole swathe of very affordable chairs, and its Phantom 3 series is no different. At just £189, this matches the best ever price we’ve seen on it, and for that, you are getting quite a lot.
The version I’ve picked here is the large black chair. The Black Leather colour is a bit more at £200, and the Grey Fabric is the same price, at £189. Between the lot, the Black would be getting my cash, as Black Leather isn’t worth more to me, and though the Grey Fabric looks neat, I can’t help but be a little anxious about the first time a drink or snack is accidentally spilt on the side. Black can cover up a whole mass of food sins. In this case, ‘large’ actually just denotes that this chair is for adults. The orange version is currently available at full price for kids aged five to 10.
This chair has a memory foam neck and lumbar pillows, plus a linen finish for a comfortable feel. It can recline all the way back to 160 degrees and can swivel a full 360 degrees. If you are anything like me, that will be used to move yourself around when you’re bored, or when you just want to think about something.
With a maximum height of 200 cm (5’11”) and a maximum weight of 200 lbs (90 kgs), this isn’t specifically designed for bigger people, so that’s certainly something worth watching out for before you hit the checkout. You can pay an extra £5 for it to come unpacked or £71 for it to be already installed, though grabbing a buddy and spending thirty minutes putting it together will save you quite a bit of cash. Though not cheap, this option is certainly budget-friendly, and something we keep an eye on around most sales events thanks to big discounts. £189 is the lowest I’ve ever seen it go down to.
Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless
In her Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless review, Katie praised this lovely pair of headphones for excellent bass and audio quality, as well as a super comfortable fit, great EQ and solid noise cancelling. It’s hard to want for much more out of a pair of headphones, though it’s a pretty expensive set at over £300. Reduced by almost £100 makes them a tad more reasonable, even if AI noise cancelling is a bit weak, and it can glitch loudly when out of range.
My day-to-day gaming headset at the PC Gamer office is a SteelSeries model, and I can attest to how comfortable and breezy they feel. In recent heat, it’s been nice to have a headset that doesn’t make me feel too gross after a full day. If you like to play on console, PC, and take a call on mobile, the Nova Pro Wireless has a new multi-system connect function, and it even has two separate batteries to quickly swap out on the fly. As long as one stays charged, you effectively never run out of battery.
The batteries can be charged via an included base station, and that base station not only controls connectivity, but can have fine-tuned EQ settings and audio profiles built in. With a little screen on it, you can tell, from a glance, which setting you’re on, and swap to a different mode with ease. It’s an impressive bit of kit.
It’s undeniably a pretty expensive headset, but it’s hard to deny the quality at work here. Wireless connectivity is fast and efficient, it’s super adjustable, and importantly, it sounds great.
On sound, Katie said, “I was impressed with how much I could crank the bass and gain up without an iota of distortion, too. My inner raver was supremely delighted when I discovered Minecraft trap actually slaps—I almost felt my chest cavity vibrate vicariously, like a creeper ready to pop.”
We did notice the ClearCast Gen2 mic was just okay, though it does benefit from solid noise reduction. You get only a few compromises here, and in return, a great headset.
Razer Basilisk V3
If you are looking for a budget mouse, yet don’t fancy picking up something poor quality just because you don’t want to shop around, may I present to you the Razer Basilisk V3. You might not think it from the price, but this little mouse not only looks great but has a super solid 26K DPI.
In our Razer Basilisk V3 review, we said, “The Razer Basilisk V3 is a solid iteration on an already great mouse, improving on elements without detracting from others. Those improvements are welcome, too, and I honestly can’t get over how good the added Chroma lighting looks.” This was written back in 2021, and things have changed quite a lot in the gaming mouse market, but still, the quality of this mouse is standout for the price.
It’s only wired, which certainly goes some way to explaining the price, but getting a speedy mouse with pretty RGB will certainly make up for the extra wire on your desk space. I’ve found myself using similarly priced mice to take on the go with me recently, good enough to get me through a work day or a spot of gaming, but also not so expensive that I don’t mind chucking it in a bag.
We didn’t much like the Smart Reel system, which swaps between a click scroll and a free scroll if you spin the scroll wheel enough, and we certainly find Razer’s software to be a bit hit or miss, but those are the biggest concerns for a mouse that’s less than a full-priced game.
Logitech G915X
I was lucky enough to review this low-profile wireless keyboard last year, and I like it quite a lot. At the time, I was rather critical of its very high price point and the Logitech G Hub software. I’m happy to report that the Logitech software has become much more stable over the last ten months or so, and getting this keeb for £60 off makes it feel much more reasonable.
In fact, after reviewing it, this 100% wireless keyboard became my daily driver until basically the holidays. The reason I swapped is purely because of its size. I like a keyboard with a numpad, though I found myself with less room on my desk than previously, and now use a slightly smaller keyboard.
The double-shot PBT key caps feel nice to type on, and importantly, the low-profile design is helped by a short actuation distance and snappy response time. I found it to be great for both gaming and typing, and managed to get over 100 hours of battery life with the RGB on. You will want to keep that lighting on, though, as I found the keycaps a tad hard to read in darker environments without it. Luckily, with the improvements to Logitech G Hub, messing around with RGB settings is a lot easier than it used to be.
The size of this keyboard makes room for not only a media roll key for changing the volume, but multiple customizable G keys. It’s a great little keyboard for making shortcuts, and the body is firm enough that I never felt like it couldn’t take a whack.
If you’re in search of a low-profile keyboard (or open to making the switch), I found this Logitech keeb to be a great, if overpriced, bit of kit. Down to its lowest ever price, it’s a great deal.
