Big Deal Days: Early gaming desktop deals
Acer Predator Orion 3000 — RTX 3060: was $1,399.99 now $999.99 at Amazon
There aren't many options that stay under $1,000 if you're looking for modern components, but Acer has cleverly made budget-friendly cuts in all the right places with this up-to-date Predator Orion pre-built gaming desktop. You get a 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700F processor alongside 16GB of DDR5 RAM, both cutting-edge and built-in Wi-Fi 6E support for the latest in wireless networking.
The savings come with the graphics card: a previous-gen NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 desktop GPU. It's still no slouch, featuring 12GB of VRAM, and it'll handle plenty of modern games if you aim for a middling 1440p resolution or even stick with full HD at 1080p. Plus, a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 solid-state drive makes for ultra-fast game installs and helps reduce load times, which is crucial for the latest releases.
✅Best features: 13th Gen Intel CPU and DDR5 RAM couldn't be more future-proof, and a graphics card is one of the easiest components to upgrade manually.

ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 — RTX 3070 Ti: was $2,049.99 now $1,672.97 at Amazon
ASUS is no stranger to the laptop market, but its ROG Strix line is specifically marketed towards hardcore gamers, and the Scar 15 gaming laptop is one of the best examples. It's packing so much powerful hardware to the point it was almost overkill upon release, but now the Prime Deal Days sale has brought the price down below $2,000; it's far more reasonable.
A previous-gen 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900H processor pairs with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics card and 16GB of modern DDR5 memory alongside a 1TB solid-state hard drive for storage. In simple terms, this gaming laptop was at the top of its game when it launched last year, and now it's a bargain powerhouse capable of running modern AAA titles with enough space for several games installed at a time.
Its 15.6-inch screen features a 240Hz panel with 100% accuracy in the DCI-P3 color gamut, perfect for content creators to cut together highlight reels of their gameplay or real-life vlog footage. Ultra-modern Wi-Fi 6E support means wireless networking couldn't get any better for online multiplayer, and Bluetooth 5.2 supports wireless controllers.
✅Best features: Thunderbolt 4 support for the fastest external storage means you'll never worry about permanently losing larger game installs and save files.
