The Presidents’ Day PC gaming deals are already rolling in as we come up to the Presidents’ Day weekend, offering us our first chance to bag some potential bargains as we start to shake off those winter blues. With different retailers offering a bunch of discounts across the breadth of PC gaming, we’re here to give a little friendly guidance on what’s worth your money and what is simply a bit of early year box-shifting on the retailers’ behalf.
It’s the start of the year and we get it, finances are tight, which is why it’s more important than ever that you make sure your money is being spent wisely. We’re curating the best gaming laptop, PC, SSD, monitor, and graphics card deals all through the year, so you know we’re on top of things when the big sales events roll around.
Don’t expect Black Friday style savings on the latest PC gaming hardware, though. Presidents’ Day might be a chance for retailers to bang on about savings, but there is still a lot of last-gen kit out there being sold with big relative discounts but still-too-high price tags. It’s also worth noting that laptop and SSD pricing has taken a bit of an upturn since the pre-Christmas sales, too.
While there may not be any of the sort of head-turning deals you can’t resist over Presidents’ Day, if you’re in the market for some new PC gaming hardware then cast your eyes over the deals we’ve picked out so far and you could save yourself some cash.

One of our absolute favorite SSDs this, and while it might not technically be on discount it’s still a fantastic price for everything you’re getting here. Check out <a href=”https://miteinander-lernen.com/lexar-nm790-4tb-ssd-review/” data-link-merchant=”pcgamer.com”” data-link-merchant=”Amazon US”” target=”_blank”>our review of the 4TB model for more, but the cliff notes are that its fast, efficient, and pretty much everything you could want from a good Gen 4 NVMe drive, for less.

Ok, we know, not at a discount, and a fair bit pricier than it was last year as SSD prices spike. But this SSD is still a good deal, as Lexar has put together a superb drive in the NM790 and SSD prices are likely to only continue to go up from this point forward. Thanks to high layer NAND and a low-power controller, you can get tons of storage here on an energy-efficient and great performing drive for not much cash. Often much less cash than the competition, even.

The RTX 4060 Ti might have had a bit of a rocky reception with that 8GB of VRAM, but we found it performed very well in <a href=”https://miteinander-lernen.com/nvidia-rtx-4060-ti-review-benchmarks-performance/” data-link-merchant=”pcgamer.com”” data-link-merchant=”newegg.com”” target=”_blank”>our review and it makes a very solid mid-range performer, particularly with the ability to take advantage of DLSS 3 and Frame Generation. This is a small twin-fan model that should still run cool and quiet, and delivers a lot of gaming performance in super-efficient fashion.

If you’re chasing high frame rates and still want some degree of high fidelity, this 1440p panel is for you. It’s rocking a 165Hz refresh rate with AMD’s FreeSync supported to keep everything silky smooth. It’s big, too, though 31.5-inch is pushing the 1440p resolution on pixel-per-inch.

Well well, what do we have here? The super quick Ryzen 7 7700X in combination with 32GB of DDR5 6000, a 1TB SSD, and the brand spanking new and truly mighty RTX 4080 Super? Yep, those are specs that bring most machines to their knees, and near the magic $2,000 marker to boot. This is a huge amount of gaming performance for the money, and a tough one to beat.
6. Asus ROG Ally | AMD Z1 Extreme | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | 7-inch 1080p | 120Hz | <a href=”https://shop-links.co/link?skuId=6542964&publisher_slug=future&exclusive=1&u1=hawk-custom-tracking&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fasus-rog-ally-7-120hz-fhd-1080p-gaming-handheld-amd-ryzen-z1-extreme-processor-512gb-white%2F6542964.p%3FskuId%3D6542964&article_name=hawk-article-name&article_url=hawk-article-url” data-link-merchant=”bestbuy.com”” target=”_blank”>$699.99 $599.99 at Best Buy (save $100)
The most powerful version of once of the best PC gaming handhelds is back at a discounted price. The Asus Ally surprised us at launch with its relatively low MSRP (for a premium Asus product), and now it’s even cheaper. Has the time come for you to get in on some handheld gaming action?
7. Alienware Aurora R15 | RTX 4070 Ti | Ryzen 7 7700X | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | <a href=”https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8432&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0CGRYQZ9Q%3Fth%3D1%26tag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20″ data-link-merchant=”Amazon US”” target=”_blank”>$1,899.97 $1,479.99 at Amazon (save $419.98)
We have a saying around here, don’t buy an Alienware gaming PC at full price. There’s almost always a good deal on an Alienware gaming PC, such as this one right here. An RTX 4070 Ti for this price with a well-rounded spec to go with it. It is a shame that Dell often uses proprietary parts in its machines, which makes upgrading or replacing a hassle, but as a pick-up and go PC it’s a good price.
8. Lenovo Legion Pro 7i | Nvidia RTX 4080 | Intel Core i9 13900HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 240Hz | 32GB DDR5-5600 | 1TB NVMe SSD | <a href=”https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1745683-REG/lenovo_82wq002rus_16_legion_pro_7.html?BI=20811&KBID=16572&SID=hawk-custom-tracking” data-link-merchant=”bhphotovideo.com””>$2,749 $2,099 at B&H Photo (save $650)
This is a great discount on the best RTX 4080 laptop I’ve tested. It’s a fantastic notebook, offering performance that can often match and sometimes beat an RTX 4090-based system (<a href=”https://miteinander-lernen.com/lenovo-legion-pro-7i-gaming-laptop-review/” data-link-merchant=”pcgamer.com”” data-link-merchant=”bhphotovideo.com”” target=”_blank”>see our review). There’s a high-performance CPU to back it up, a decent, bright 1600p screen, and a fair amount of storage. All with a discount.

We actually loved this package for its blend of speed and resolution, even at its original $650 price tag. At this tantalizingly cheap price, it’s that much better.

We’ve become big fans of Lenovo laptops here at PC Gamer this generation, and this particular budget machine is ticking a lot of boxes. For an RTX 4060 laptop it has to be under $1,000, and you also get a better than average screen, though I’m a little confused over Walmart’s listing of it as 2160 x 1350 when Lenovo itself claims a 1440p panel. That 512GB SSD, however, is disappointing, even in a budget laptop, but is a cheap and easy issue to fix if it becomes annoying down the line.

Here’s a budget laptop delivering a very pleasant all-round spec for gaming. The GPU is none other than the RTX 4060, and it’s sitting alongside AMD’s fantastic Ryzen 7 7840U, the same chip powering many handheld gaming PCs. The RAM is a decent 16GB, too. The only downside is the 512GB SSD, but you could upgrade that if you so pleased.

RTX 4070 laptops can get pretty pricey when well-specced, but here comes the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i to deliver excellent gaming performance at a reasonable price. The only real downside here is that 512GB SSD, but it’s an easy upgrade to make and the only fly in the ointment for a lappy that otherwise has specs to spare. That Intel chip is genuinely quick, and the 1600p 165Hz screen should make the most of that RTX 4070.
Asus TUF A17 | Nvidia RTX 4070 | AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS | 17.3-inch | 144Hz | 1080p | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD |<a href=”https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=HlvbvYZP82I&mid=44583&u1=hawk-custom-tracking&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2Fmecha-gray-asus-tuf-gaming-f17-fa707xi-ns94%2Fp%2FN82E16834236430″ data-link-merchant=”newegg.com”” target=”_blank”> $1,799.99 $1,349.99 at Newegg (save $450)
If you’re after a large-screen laptop for school with a little Triple-A gaming on the side, the TUF A17 will certainly deliver. It’s only a 1080p panel, which is a bit of a shame, but its RTX 4070 will run pretty much everything at that resolution with the settings cranked up. It also has an 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen CPU that sports the 780M integrated graphics. That’s the same as in all the latest handhelds so it can give decent gaming performance on the go and should offer more gaming battery life than running on the RTX 4070 when away from a plug socket.
Acer Predator Helios 16 | GeForce RTX 4070 | Core i7 13700HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 240Hz IPS | 16GB DDR5-5600 | 1TB SSD | <a href=”https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=HlvbvYZP82I&mid=44583&u1=hawk-custom-tracking&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2Fabyssal-black-acer-predator-helios-16-ph16-71-72yg-gaming%2Fp%2FN82E16834360250″ data-link-merchant=”newegg.com”” target=”_blank”>$1,899.99 $1,399.99 at Newegg (save $400)
We’re big fans of the latest Acer Predator laptop (<a href=”https://miteinander-lernen.com/acer-predator-helios-16-review-benchmarks/” data-link-merchant=”pcgamer.com”” data-link-merchant=”newegg.com”” target=”_blank”>read our review of the RTX 4080 version) and this RTX 4070 machine has got a lot going for it too. The Core i7 13700HX CPU is ostensibly an eight-core chip with E-core benefits. That means you get 16 full power processing threads, and a further eight cores to take it up to a total of 24 threads. For a $1,500 laptop that’s pretty tasty. It’s also sporting some speedy DDR5 memory, a full 1TB SSD and a 500nit IPS display with a 2560 x 1600 native resolution. Sadly, it’s not the Mini-LED version in the top Helios 16 models, but it’s still a bright, colorful screen.

The world’s thinnest 14-inch gaming laptop they say. It’s certainly far cheaper than Razer’s 14-inch Blade, which comes in $600 higher with the same GPU. A very slick little machine for portable gaming action, and from a very recognisable brand.

This is last year’s model with the bigger chin and RTX 30 graphics. But the latest Razer 14 with an RTX 4060, which is comfortably slower than the RTX 3080 Ti in this model, goes for $2,399. So, if you’re looking for Razer’s smallest gaming laptop at a good price, this deal is definitely worth considering.

This is a great discount on the best RTX 4080 laptop I’ve tested.

You can game on this machine to a certain extent—the integrated Vega GPU on the Ryzen chip will certainly support 720p gaming at lower settings. But we’re listing it here as a good base from which to <a href=”https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=HlvbvYZP82I&mid=44583&u1=hawk-custom-tracking&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2Fasrock-radeon-rx-6600-rx6600-cld-8g%2Fp%2FN82E16814930066″ data-link-merchant=”newegg.com”” data-link-merchant=”newegg.com”” target=”_blank”>add your own graphics card for a quick new gaming PC on a tight budget. The AMD CPU is a good six-core, 12-thread job, and the 16GB RAM will run everything you need.

This is an supremely low price for an RTX 4060 gaming PC, and the rest of the spec isn’t half bad either. The Intel CPU is a couple of generations old now, but it’s a decent gaming chip. While the memory and storage and pretty decent for such a cheap PC. 1TB isn’t at all bad to see for this price.
Ipason gaming desktop | Ryzen 5 5600 | Radeon RX 7600 | 16GB DDR4-3200 | 1TB SSD | <a href=”https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=HlvbvYZP82I&mid=44583&u1=hawk-custom-tracking&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2Fp%2F3D5-001U-001F6%3FItem%3D9SIAZEBK125652″ data-link-merchant=”newegg.com”” target=”_blank”>$1,399 $849 at Newegg (save $550)
If you don’t want to get busy with a screwdriver, Ipason has another budget offering with a built-in upgrade over its <a href=”https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=HlvbvYZP82I&mid=44583&u1=hawk-custom-tracking&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2Fipason-s6-zhanjing%2Fp%2F3D5-001U-000Z3″ data-link-merchant=”newegg.com”” data-link-merchant=”newegg.com”” target=”_blank”>$499 5600G-sporting PC, this time with an RX 7600 GPU at its heart.

The RTX 4070 makes a great 1440p gaming GPU, especially with DLSS 3 and all the benefits Frame Generation can bring, and here it’s paired with a solid i5 13400F and 32GB of high speed DDR5. A lot of prebuilt machines at this price skimp on the RAM and the SSD, but you also get a 1TB NVMe drive for storage, making this a superb all round package for a mid-range gaming rig at a very reasonable price.

We have a saying around here, don’t buy an Alienware gaming PC at full price. There’s almost always a good deal on an Alienware gaming PC, such as this one right here. An RTX 4070 Ti for this price with a well-rounded spec to go with it. It is a shame that Dell often uses proprietary parts in its machines, which makes upgrading or replacing a hassle, but as a pick-up and go PC it’s a good price.
Alienware Aurora R15 | RTX 4070 Ti | Core i7 13700F | 16GB DDR5 | 512GB SSD + 1TB HDD | <a href=”https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8432&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0C6FG4LPR%3Fth%3D1%26tag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20″ data-link-merchant=”Amazon US”” target=”_blank”>$1,899.97 $1,499.99 at Amazon (save $399.98)
While I do prefer the cheaper AMD build above, this PC does include a very strong Intel processor. The 13700F will make easy work of productivity and editing tasks, while the RTX 4070 Ti will be a beast for gaming. The PC does use some proprietary parts which can be a pain, and the 512GB SSD is a weakness, but it’s still a great price on a PC with a speedy GPU.
Skytech Siege | RTX 4070 Ti | Core i5 12600K | 1TB SSD | 16GB DDR5 | <a href=”https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=HlvbvYZP82I&mid=44583&u1=hawk-custom-tracking&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2Fskytech-st-siege4-0559-b-ne%2Fp%2F3D5-000Z-000X6″ data-link-merchant=”newegg.com”” target=”_blank”>$2,199.99 $1,599.99 at Newegg (save $600)
The RTX 4070 Ti can be an expensive GPU in its own right, but here you can get one paired with a very quick Core i5 and a 1TB SSD for reasonable money. The 16GB of RAM is maybe a little stingy, but its an easy upgrade to turn it into 32GB and leave you with a very capable machine with a truly great gaming GPU.
Zotac Gaming MEK Hero G3 | Ryzen 5 7600 | Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | <a href=”https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=HlvbvYZP82I&mid=44583&u1=hawk-custom-tracking&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2Fzotac-gh4070sita7600bl-01-u-w4b%2Fp%2F3D5-003F-00013%3FItem%3D9SIAMFBK4N3585″ data-link-merchant=”newegg.com”” target=”_blank”>$1,799.99 at Newegg
The RTX 4070 Ti Super is one of the most interesting of the refreshed Ada graphics cards recently launched by Nvidia for the simple fact that it’s the only one that uses a completely new GPU. It now sports the same chip as that in the RTX 4080 and RTX 4080 Super, with more memory than the standard RTX 4070 Ti and a wider memory bus. It’s only about 10-15% quicker than the old card, but that does close the gap on the RTX 4080 quite a bit for the same money. You might be a bit down on the low-end Ryzen 5 chip paired with it, but it’s a proper Zen 4 CPU, with six cores and 12 threads, and it’s more than capable of powering this GPU.
Skytech Chronos | Core i7 12700F | RX 7900 XTX | 1TB NVMe SSD | 16GB DDR4 RAM | <a href=”https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=HlvbvYZP82I&mid=44583&u1=hawk-custom-tracking&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2Fskytech-st-chronos-0628-w-ne%2Fp%2F3D5-000Z-000Y4″ data-link-merchant=”newegg.com”” target=”_blank”>$2,199.99 $1,949.99 at Newegg (save $150)
While this is has a two-gen-old Intel CPU here, that’s AMD’s most powerful gaming GPU matched with it. It may not be a consistent RTX 4080 competitor, but it’ll get the job done at 4K. The RAM should really be DDR5 when you’re spending near 2 grand though, but regardless it’ll still carve through the latest games with ease.

Well well, what do we have here? The super quick Ryzen 7 7700X in combination with 32GB of DDR5 6000, a 1TB SSD, and the brand spanking new and truly mighty RTX 4080 Super? Yep, those are specs that bring most machines to their knees, and near the magic $2,000 marker to boot. This is a huge amount of gaming performance for the money, and a tough one to beat.

Alienware has ditched its iconic rounded look and is going for a more, well, Dell approach to its gaming PCs. They’re black rectangles in the classic Dell style, but this system still comes in at a decent price, with some good components backing up that RTX 4080 GPU. It’s not as cheap as the original RTX 4080 Alienware we had on this page, but that sold out. This one does come with a more powerful CPU and double the RAM capacity, and makes for a very tempting gaming machine.

Once you’re into the serious money sector, you’d expect a lot of PC for your dollars, and that’s exactly what you’re getting here. This is great spec for gaming, with a CPU and motherboard that both support overclocking, a super fast RTX 4080, plus bags of RAM and storage. RTX 4080 PCs are still on the high end in terms of price, but with this you get a decent discount and some components you can be truly proud of.

Some of the very top AMD components make this big red machine a bit of a bruiser, what with a powerful Ryzen 9 7900X in combination with the mighty RX 7900 XTX. It might not be as fast as the legendary RTX 4090, but make no mistake, this card and indeed entire system is very capable when it comes to delivering the gaming goods. The ‘original’ pricing feels a tad steep, but that doesn’t detract from the genuinely good price today.

If you’re looking for a prebuilt with absolute top flight performance, you’d struggle to do any better than this. A Core i9 13900KF, 32GB of screaming-fast DDR5 6000 and that all important RTX 4090 means this machine will deliver exceptional performance in absolutely anything you can throw at it, from multimedia crunching to playing the latest games at superb image quality and butter-smooth frame rates. 2TB of NVMe storage rounds out a PC that’ll quite simply outperform 99% of the competition.

Ok, so it’s pretty small, and a VA panel. But honestly, for this money and from a well-known and trusted manufacturer, with AMD FreeSync and a 100Hz refresh rate? A pretty good deal if you ask us.

If you’re desperate for a super-high refresh rate on a budget, then this Acer Nitro screen should fit the bill. It’s not very bright, rated at just 250 nits, but it’s a good size, is a VA panel and sports a full 240Hz refresh rate for a rather tasty price tag.

This is the best deal on a 1440p gaming monitor we’ve seen so far. A respectable brand and a respectable spec, this is right in the sweet spot for PC gaming. And for price, in fact.

ASRock’s gaming monitors are always so darned cheap—we love them for that. This 1440p panel offers resolution and a rapid refresh rate for a potent PC gaming combo, though the built-in Wi-Fi antenna helps it stand out from the crowd. That’s hardly essential, but could come in use for some.

Less than $200 for a decent 1440p 170Hz monitor from a proper brand like Gigabyte? What’s not to like? Some would argue the VA panel, but it is rated at 1ms, albeit MPRT not GtG. The 250 nits brightness is modest, too, and the stand isn’t height adjustable. Still, the panel sports 4,000:1 static contrast, which is excellent.

For the budget-conscious gamer, Asus makes a mean gaming monitor. This screen may be on the cheaper side, even costing less than some 1080p panels, yet it delivers 1440p res gaming with a 170Hz refresh rate (overclocked). Not too shabby.

If you ditch the curved panel, you can pick up an IPS screen from Gigabyte for not much more than its VA counterpart. We’re fans of the straightforward, feature full gaming monitors Gigabyte makes, and this one looks to be no different.
