This year’s Amazon Prime Day sale has no shortage of gaming PC deals, but it’s all ending soon. We expect most of these deals to expire tonight at midnight PT. There’s still time to save on a good selection of prebuilt gaming PCs from well-known brands like ASUS, MSI, CyberPowerPC, Skytech, IBUYPOWER, and more. For most PC gamers, buying a prebuilt gaming rig is far more attractive than it used to be. Years ago, it was inarguably cheaper to build your own gaming PC than to buy a boutique gaming rig. That’s not the case anymore. The gaming PCs listed here are already built and packaged and will ship out quickly. They use off-the-shelf components so it should be easier to swap and upgrade components compared to buying from an OEM manufacturer like Dell or HP.
TL;DR The Best Prime Day Gaming PC Deals
The Best 4K Gaming PC Prime Day Deal
If you’re looking for a gaming PC that can handle any game at any resolution, then Dell has a stronger Prime Day deal than Amazon. Starting this week, Dell has dropped the price of the Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4080 SUPER gaming PC to only $2199.99 after a $600 instant discount. It’s also equipped with the newest Intel Core i9 processor and a generous amount of DDR5 RAM. This rig will run any game you can throw at it, even at 4k resolution with high framerates and ray tracing enabled.
The Best 1440p/4K Gaming PC Prime Day Deal
The RTX 4070 SUPER is a big performance upgrade compared to the RTX 4060 Ti. It’s the perfect card for 1440p gaming, where it’s about 10%-15% faster than the RTX 4070 that it replaces. The RTX 4070 SUPER is also equipped with 12GB of VRAM, so it handles 4K gaming quite well without having to blow out your budget. Check out our RTX 4070 SUPER review for more details.
The Best 1080p/1440p Gaming PC Prime Day Deal
The RTX 4060 Ti 8GB video card is an even better card for 1080p gaming, and it’s powerful enough to handle 1440p gaming as well. You’ll get a pretty substantial boost in performance over the RTX 4060, especially at higher resolutions.
The Best 1080p Gaming PC Prime Day Deal
The RTX 4060 is considerably more powerful than the previous generation RTX 3060 and almost nearly matches the RTX 3060 Ti. This is going to be the best current-gen GPU you’ll find capable of smooth 1080p gaming in a system that costs (well) under $1,000. The RTX 4060 GPU also supports DLSS 3.0, which gives you a nice performance boost without sacrificing much visual quality.
Should You Buy Now or Wait For Black Friday?
Prime Day is one of the absolute best times to buy a gaming PC every year. Not only does Amazon drop prices on it’s prebuilt PCs, we also see equally good discounts from manufactures like Dell, Lenovo, and HP.
As to whether you should buy now or wait for Black Friday, it really just depends on what GPU you want in your PC. Overall Prime Day is an excellent time to find a deal on budget gaming PCs, but if you are hoping for a sale on prebuilt rig packed with an RTX 4090, you may want to wait. If the new RTX 5080 GPUs are revealed in the Fall, then Black Friday could see even lower prices.
