Amazon Gaming Week has officially kicked off this year and the global retailer is going discount crazy on some of our favorite gaming-tailored hardware and peripherals. Buyers are being treated to huge deals on monitors, gaming PCs, laptops, keyboards, headsets, mice, and more this year, with some of the industry’s most sought-after hardware hitting new low prices.
Being a keen bargain hunter myself, I’ve taken the time to dive through the belly of Amazon’s Gaming Week, hand-picking seven of the best deals I could find. So, if you’ve been holding off on buying that dream PC, waiting for the right time to upgrade to an OLED monitor, or seeking a bargain on a high-end peripheral, then now could be the perfect time for you.
Best Amazon Gaming Week – 7 best deals I’d buy myself
Below, I list my favorite Amazon Gaming Week deals. Remember, pricing is subject to change and deals will run between April 29th and May 5th – so act quickly if something takes your fancy.
Alienware AW3423DW Curved Gaming Monitor
Alienware’s hugely popular AW3423DW just fell to a near-low price of $899 – making it my favourite gaming monitor deal right now. Not only does it offer the latest QD-OLED panel technology, but it also features a 1440p screen resolution, 175Hz refresh rate, and speedy 0.03ms response time. What more could you want for a sub $1,000 gaming monitor?
Honorable mention
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D
The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D is a great CPU for anyone looking to increase their gaming performance. It features 12 cores and 24 threads which are ideal for multitasking type scenarios – think streaming your gameplay. With a 5.5GHz max boost clock speed, the 7900X3D should also ensure you aren’t being bottlenecked by your CPU when pairing it with an equally powerful GPU.
Alienware m18 AMD Gaming Laptop
If you’re looking for a powerful laptop with a budget of around $2,000, then the Alienware M18 RTX 4080 edition is a fine choice – especially now it sees an impressive $600 price cut. The laptop in question features FHD 1920 x 1200 480Hz display, meaning your gameplay will look absolutely stunning. Additional hardware includes 32GB of DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD, and an RTX 4080 GPU – making it a brilliant all-rounder.
ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX™ 4060 Ti OC Edition
Now is the perfect time to buy a mid-range RTX 40-series GPU, as rumors from China suggest pricing could be on the rise imminently. That’s right, we might not see mid-range prices like this for some time. But what makes this GPU so great?
The RTX 4060 Ti isn’t going to win any awards for the best GPU of the year, but it will offer great performance in 1080p gameplay. It should offer excellent performance in esports-type games, but also immersive open-world titles as well. 1440p may be a stretch in some titles, but some lesser-demanding gams should run at around 100FPS.
iBUYPOWER Y40 White Gaming PC Computer Desktop Y40WI7N46T02
Gaming PCs are no exception from the Amazon Gaming Week savings – and this iBUYPOWER Y40 RTX 4060 Ti Edition is a fine choice at its new price tag of $1,429. Right now, you can save a whopping 16% on this excellent mid-range gaming PC – making it one of the best PC deals this Amazon Gaming Week. It comes equipped with a solid Intel Core i7-14700KF, an RTX 4060 Ti GPU, and 32GB of DDR5 5600 RAM – allowing it to perform highly in both gaming and everyday tasks.
Logitech G502 X Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse
If you’re looking for an excellent gaming mouse that’s not only packed with features but also offers wireless functionality, then the Logitech G502 X Lightspeed is a fine choice. Right now, this Limited time deal offers an impressive 21% saving that puts the G502 at close to its lowest price ever.
Corsair VOID ELITE RGB Wireless Gaming Headset Carbon
Lastly, we found this top-notch gaming headset that, like the mouse, is featured packed with everything you could want. We had the pleasure of reviewing the Corsair VOID RGB Elite last year and it impressed us immensely. Right now, you can get the headset for more than a quarter off its MSRP, making it a great headset set while prices last.
How long does Amazon Gaming Week run for?
This year’s Amazon Gaming Week is set to run between April 29th – May 5th, 2024 – giving buyers a week of high-end deals to choose between. This year’s event snook up on most publishers as there was very little advertising around the event itself. In fact, there were no news stories around the event until after its official launch – which isn’t always the case.
Regardless, Amazon Gaming Week is a great time of year to upgrade your gaming setup, so be sure to check out the main hub page to see if anything takes your fancy.
Do I need to be a Prime Member to benefit from Amazon Gaming Week?
Absolutely not. Unlike Amazon’s Prime Day, Gaming Week is for all buyers – regardless of whether you subscribe as a Prime Member. Right now, there are huge deals on TVs, Gaming PCs, Laptops, monitors, and pretty much everything else that is linked to gaming.
