When is Amazon Prime Day 2025?Â
Amazon’s annual Prime Day sale will run from July 8 through July 11, with many of the best deals going live the day of. But if you can’t wait to upgrade your PC gaming setup, or are building a gaming PC that’s pulling double-duty as a work computer, you can find great early deals on accessories like keyboards and headsets, components, and prebuilt desktops and laptops.
Are gaming PCs and components really cheaper on Prime Day?Â
While you can find steep discounts on gaming PCs, accessories, and components during Amazon’s Prime Day sale, it sometimes pays to look at other retailers and even to see if brands like HP and Dell are offering bundle deals or better markdowns. This is especially true if you’re looking to get new components like graphics cards, RAM, or storage drives.Â
How did we choose these Prime Day deals?
Not all PC gaming sales are created equal, and not every retailer will offer markdowns on gaming components or computers. So I chose the steepest discounts on the most popular and trusted names in PC gaming like HP, Razer, HyperX, and more to help you find the best deals on the best accessories, components, and pre-built desktops so you can stay on budget when buying a new gaming rig or updating your current setup.
