It may be Prime Day right now, but that doesn’t mean that all the best deals are on Amazon’s storefront. In fact, many of the top discounts on PC components and prebuilt rigs are available on Newegg, including amazing deals on these three gaming PCs — two of which are just under $1,000.
If you’re looking to save as much as possible or are targeting a good, but not elite 1080p experience, go with the MSI Codex R. Folks after high-end 1080p or 1440p should look to Skytech Nebula (consider upgrading the storage with this deal on Samsung’s fastest SSD), while the RTX 4070-powered YEYIAN Shoge is ideal for a top-notch 1440p or ultrawide setup.
Why we like these deals
While there are certainly less expensive prebuilts available on Amazon during Prime Day, those lower costs don’t come without some serious caveats. For example, many of those systems on sale right now have aging GPUs, underpowered CPUs, and/or only 8GB of RAM — an amount that’s quickly becoming insufficient for modern PC gaming.
In contrast, these Newegg deals feature systems with more modern components like 12th and 13th Gen Intel processors and RTX 40 series graphics cards, and save you more than what you would on comparable systems sold by Amazon. For those reasons, you should go with one of these prebuilts if you want to save money while also getting a gaming PC you can actually rely on.
Keep in mind that no matter which PC you choose, you’ll be able to use and take advantage of DLSS 3, the latest version of NVIDIA’s performance-improving technology. In addition to using image upscaling like previous DLSS iterations do, DLSS 3 also has a new feature called frame generation that uses an algorithm to inject new frames between “native” ones. Frame generation has a massive positive performance impact in most games, making it much easier to achieve excellent framerates when playing at high settings.
