Amazon Prime Day is chock-full of gaming PC deals this year, but not all of them are worth your attention. And that's exactly why we've put this roundup together: to bring you the PC deals we'd actually buy ourselves.

We've been scouring Amazon since the event started, keeping track of deals on rigs with Nvidia RTX 5000-series graphics cards and some of the best AMD graphics cards on the market.
Whether you're looking to splash out on a top-of-the-line gaming PC with an RTX 5080 or get the most bang for your buck with a budget rig that can keep up with the competition, we've got you covered.
If you're after some of the best specs money can buy at a discount, check out the MSI MPG Velox, which is down to $3,249.99 (originally $3,799.99). This model comes packed to the brim with performance, including 96GB of DDR5 RAM, an Intel 24 Core i9-14900KF CPU, and 4TB of NVMe storage. Needless to say, there's little this gaming PC can't handle.
On the other hand, those just getting their feet wet in the world of PC gaming should consider the affordable Thermaltake LCGS Quartz i1460, which dropped to just $899.99 (from $1099.99) and features an RTX 5060, Intel Core i5-14400F processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. This rig is perfect for 1080p gaming on a budget.

Today's best Amazon Prime Day gaming PC deals
If I were in the market for a new system, the easiest choice here would be the MSI Codex Z2. While it won't deliver high-end gaming performance, its RTX 5070 is still a very strong GPU for 1440p gaming. It's also not an 8GB GPU (something I'm totally against for desktop gaming PCs); instead, it uses 12GB of VRAM, which isn't ideal, but it's enough to get the job done.
In terms of a balance between affordability and performance, it's the best choice among all the options above, at just $1,599.99. That's the same price that some Nvidia Blackwell GPUs cost alone today, so it's a deal that shouldn't be ignored.
That's not to say the Thermaltake PC isn't a good option either. The $899.99 price is possibly the lowest you may see during Amazon Prime Day, but I would only recommend it if you're just entering the gaming PC space, or don't mind gaming at 1080p, with 8GB of VRAM.
