July presently, huh. In my opinion, this is the time for the annual collection of the best Prime Day PC gaming talks, where Amazon Prime members can receive their very own super-special savings on all different components. Essentially only the great stuff, mind. Thus the record.

To be sure, Prime Day is one of the better days of the year to buy a PC update, mainly because it covers just about everything: images cards, CPUs, SSDs, the bit. Gaming laptops and Steam Deck components, including sd cards, may be going affordable as well. The catch is that typically the actual deals are hidden beneath piles of cheaply-made trash, but happy for you future technology buyers, my employment contract says I have no choice but to dig up the best deals on the kit that’s really worth owning. All you need to accomplish on your end is become a Perfect part, or at the very least, mask yourself as one with the 30- day free trial.

Well, as always, the choicest Prime Day deals will only be obtainable to free trailers or completely paid- up Prime members. With it taking place on July 16 and 17, you still have time to sign up for Prime Day 2024, which will take place before that. However, if that’s just one login too far, you still have options. First of all, just keep reading this list; up until Prime Day on the 16th, I’ll be keeping it stocked with early deals that might not be as affordable as their final Prime versions but are still valid for those who do n’t have premium subscriptions.

Second, you can check out our Anti-Prime Day deals guide, where I’ll be tracking all the best PC hardware savings I can find from non-Amazon retailers in a hopefully short amount of time. Many online retailers will try to steal Jeffy B’s thunder around Prime Day, as has been the case for years, so you can still get some low-cost rig upgrades without having to pay the Big A. Look out for that, later this week.

Prime Day 2024: tips to get the best PC gaming deals

Choose what you want in advance

Recommendations are recommendations, but you do n’t have to take them as gospel, nor wait for some hardware editor’s approval if you already have a specific upgrade in mind. If anything, this could save you some time ( and effort ) on the day because Prime Day is a major source of good deals, but it’s also likely to be jam-packed with rubbish, and knowing what to look for beforehand will save you having to sift through a sea of inconsequential offers.

Add your desired items to your basket before Prime Day begins is a time-saving tip. Then, once it’s over, you do n’t need to do any actual searching; instead, just go back into the basket and see at once whether the items you want are on sale or not. Remove the non- discounted bits if you wish, then head straight to payment. Easy peasy.

Avoid dodgy deals

Unfortunately, some sellers still attempt to pull a quick one on fair trade by raising their prices prior to a sale and then simply lowering them back during the event, giving off the impression of a discount. In my experience, this practice is less prevalent on Prime Day than Black Friday, but it’s still something you can and should protect yourself against. I always advise downloading the Keepa extension for your preferred browser, which displays a price tracking graph on any Amazon product listings you view.

This enables you to identify any pre-sale price increases that are suspicious and prove that more legitimate discounts are available.

Do n’t just stick to Amazon

Again, just because it’s Prime Day does n’t mean Amazon will have the lowest price tag on every piece of PC gaming equipment. Competitors ( like Ebuyer and Scan in the UK and Newegg and Best Buy in the US) frequently offer the same good deals on the same products, as I’ve frequently found. If you’re really lucky, they may be even cheaper.

In any case, it’s worth checking that prime day deals, as tempting as they may appear, actually make the biggest cuts on what you want. RPS can help with that, via our annual Anti- Prime Day deals roundup.
