If you're in the market for a new gaming PC or laptop, this could save you some serious cash.
When you are buying a deal, it pays to consider the whole machine, of course. After the graphics card itself, you should make sure you're getting a vaguely up-to-date CPU—we wouldn't go any older than a 10th-Gen Intel CPU , and for AMD you want a Ryzen 5000-series chip on desktop, and 4000-series or later on a laptop.
Next up you need to look at the amount of memory present and the storage on offer. Ideally, you want 16GB of RAM, and to make the most of the memory subsystem, you want a pair of 8GB sticks, not just a single 16GB unit. On the cheaper systems, you'll often see 8GB as standard, but you can at least upgrade later down the line if you need. As for storage, you want a 500GB NVMe SSD or larger.
Whatever you're looking for, there are definitely some good deals out there. And as we get nearer to Prime Day, we expect some choice deals to appear. Just have a mind about how much you should pay for what's on offer, and you won't make a costly misstep. Alan has been writing about PC tech since before 3D graphics cards existed, and still vividly recalls having to fight with MS-DOS just to get games to load. He fondly remembers the killer combo of a Matrox Millenium and 3dfx Voodoo, and seeing Lara Croft in 3D for the first time. He's very glad hardware has advanced as much as it has though, and is particularly happy when putting the latest M.2 NVMe SSDs, AMD processors, and laptops through their paces.
