Prime Day PC deals are now live and are currently the best option you have if you want to grab the computer specs you're hoping for this year. Let's face it, 2026 is likely the worst year to upgrade your gaming PC since 2020, thanks to the RAM shortage. However, not all hope is lost.

I've managed to find a handful of very decent, cost-effective deals on

, Newegg, Best Buy, and more this Prime Day season. These discounts include one of our picks for the

of 2026, and a bunch more savings on both high-end and mid-range machines. I will say that it is very much worth considering the discounts listed below as well since RAMageddon shows no sign of wrapping up anytime soon. Component shortages, AI datacenter demand, and spiralling RAM costs (not to mention rigs and graphics cards) mean that sales like Prime Day may be your only chance to get all your PC gaming bits for a good long while.

It's also worth noting that the team at GamesRadar+ spends hours testing everything from the latest components to the

that run PC games. We also regularly update these deal pages to ensure you are getting real savings rather than inflated prices. So read on below for a complete and curated round-up of the best Prime Day PC deals to pick up today.

Sadly, rigs worth looking at under $1,000 will be few and far between this Prime Day. That doesn't mean they won't exist, though, as you can currently grab a Viprtech RTX 5060 build with an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and AIO cooler for less than a grand. This would make for a great starter PC with more than enough oomph to run the latest games, so it's worth keeping on your list if you're just breaking into PC gaming.

Thermaltake is pushing prices lower this Prime Day on its RTX 5060 build, and while that means making do with DDR4 RAM, you shouldn't snub an i5-14400F CPU and 1TB SSD for under a grand. Again, this is one of the few rigs you'll see for less than a $1,000 this year that isn't using an old GPU or sticking with a barebones setup, so keep that in mind.

If you'd like a similar sort of build from Thermaltake, but with more up-to-date DDR5 RAM instead of compromising on last-gen specs that won't make full use of the CPU, check this deal at Newegg out.

ABS is Newegg's homegrown brand of prebuilt gaming rigs, and although a lot of the store's system discounts are on DDR4 machines, the Cyclone Aqua has a couple of DDR5 configurations with discounts on them. This is still a lot more than I'd like to recommend an RTX 5060 build at, but the i7 processor and 32GB of DDR5 help to sway me into recommending this to you.

This is a solid new-gen entry-level rig that, despite DDR5 RAM, is down to the same price as some DDR4 models. It's also armed with an RTX 5060 GPU, so while it's at the cheaper end of the pre-built scale, it can boost fps by leveraging DLSS abilities.

Unfortunately, we've seen this one cheaper this week already, so while it's still at a strong price, you might want to hold out and see if it gets any cheaper.

Again, this is more than I'd like to recommend for an RTX 5060 Ti build, but you are getting the 16GB model in this iBUYPOWER system, along with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU pairing and decent DDR5 memory.

This is a standout offer on Skytech's RX 9070 XT build, as you're getting it for the same price as a lower spec Nvidia machine. It's going to have a native edge over rigs with an RTX 5070, and it avoids dialling back RAM to DDR4 to cut back on costs.

With $200 off for Prime Day season, this RTX 5060 Ti build is now cheaper than ever. You're getting a generous 1TYB SSD and DDR5 RAM too, so you're not skimping on specs to get a discount.

If you're aiming to step up to mid-range, Zotac's RTX 5070 rig has a respectable 10% off its usual price right now. It's also packing 32GB DDR5, which is contributing to the higher price point, so keep that in mind if you're not fussed about more memory.

This one's down to its lowest-ever price as of today. As a budget rig, it's still packing a reasonable punch - the 5060 Ti is a step up from the bottom of the still-powerful 50-series cards, and with 16GB of Ram and a 1TB SSD, it should have everything else you need.

This one's a fair way off its lowest-ever price - that went as low as $1440 back in November - but it is falling this Prime Day, as I've seen it substantially higher than this already. Some solid stats are on display, with a decent chunk of RAM, a competitive 5070 GPU, and plenty of speedy storage with that 2TB SSD.

The HP OMEN 35L is a quality mid-to-high-range PC that now has a limited discount of over $1000. This is one of the best gaming PCs we recommend, especially for newbies. It's easily upgradeable, and there are better GPU options to pick from as well if you don't mind the extra cost.
