PC games

Gaming monitors

AOC AGON AG352UCG6 | £730 (save £78)
A high-at-first-glance pricetag perhaps but extra budget will add more time and durability to your options. And this AOC is such a model, perfectly placed with a widescreen 1440p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and a 4ms response time.View Deal

ASUS MG279Q | £470 (save £40)
This is a fine 1440p IPS panel gaming monitor with a 4ms response time 144HZ refresh rate and FreeSync to improve your picture. A little money off now too to sweeten the deal.

ASUS VG248QE gaming monitor| £200 (save £44)
This is our favourite gaming monitor for smaller budgets and also our favourite monitor for purely 1080p gaming. Coming in at under the 2000-pounds mark makes this a great deal. Perhaps even better as a quality second monitor.

SSDs and HDDs

Samsung 970 Pro 512GB | £134 (save 52%)
Saving you half price on this Samsung SSD is going to be hard to beat even once Prime Day starts properly. A truly excellently fast M.2 SSD with exceptional durability rated to have 300TB of writes.View Deal

WD Black SN750 250GB| £63.50 (save 23%)
This is a brilliant NVMe model and if you're budget is under 100 quid, then odds on you'll end up buying this. Really solid timings as well as decent monitoring software make this a strong contender.View Deal

Graphics cards

You won’t get very far without the best graphics cards; they’re a linchpin that make modern games the eye-catching beauties they are. Even though there are a staggering number of GPUs around (to say nothing of rival brands, variants, and the capacity for 1080p or 4K) there are some on offer now, even before Amazon’s event starts.

Gaming keyboards

Corsair K95 RGB mechanical gaming keyboard | £126 (save £59)
Our favourite gaming keyboard at a far cheaper price than normal. It's north of 100 quid so will feel like a considerable investment - but it is just that. A big keyboard with all the features from RGB aesthetics to a whole host of designated extra controls. Excellent.

Gaming mice

Gaming headsets

Gaming laptops

When the Amazon Prime Day PC deals begin, this is where you’ll find the best laptop offers. It’s a good time to invest; the best gaming laptops are usually a bit pricey, so Prime Day discounts make them much more affordable. Just remember to move fast. These reductions don’t always last long, and that’s to say nothing of them going out of stock. Here’s a few that have caught our eye already that are offering decent deals before Prime Day begins in earnest next week.

Gaming pre-built PCs

Want to dive into PC gaming without the hassle of building your own rig? No problem—the best gaming PCs come ready-made and prepared. This saves you the fuss of figuring out which components you need, gets you a machine built by pros, and it also means you can upgrade later as and when you see fit. We’ve listed the current top offers for these pre-built machines here (there's not many...yet).

Gaming accessories

Seagate 8TB External HDD | £110 (save £70)
Get this external HDD and (surely) all your storage needs will be met. This gargantuan hard drive is a relative steal at this price and will provide another backup point for all your important data and game saves.View Deal

Other tech

It is not just PC related stuff going on sale during the Amazon Prime Day deals in 2019, and you'll be able to save big in loads of other areas from 4K TVs to smart home tech to retro consoles and...the Instant Pot cooker. We've picked out a few non-PC highlights here.

Amazon Prime Day PC deals UK - how long do they last?

The official start date for the Amazon Prime Day deals is July 15 at 12am, which is a Monday. Ouch, you need to sat an alarm clock to get those bargains. The sale event runs until midnight on Tuesday July 16, so you get 48 hours of deals for the UK. During that time, the deals are always split into two different categories: Prime Day Deals and Lightning Deals.

Regular Prime Day Deals will last for the full 48 hours (or until the item has completely sold out of stock, which does happen pretty frequently). While they're easier to get, the best Prime Day Deals sell out, so if you see something you really, really want it's best to just buy it right at the start of the event. Don't forget that you can always send the item back if you change your mind.

Lightning Deals are timed offers that begin and end at certain times. So, you'll have about 2-3 hours to buy something at a specific price before it returns to normal, or before stock runs out completely. These are the ones you need to watch out for, and can offer amazing value, but stock is always limited for Lightning Deals. You can watch for specific Lightning Deals, as you get about four hours warning before each one starts. Here's what the Lightning Deals page looks like. These will run throughout Prime Day.

Amazon Prime Day PC deals - Is Prime Day just Amazon?

No, actually. While Amazon Prime Day is the name of the event itself, most other online retailers like to take advantage of the fact people are looking to spend money on tech. That's why you see retailers like Argos, Currys, AO and loads more having their own sales—all great news if you're looking to buy something PC related, as you just get a bunch more sites to choose from. We'll be keeping an eye on all online retailers with sales around Prime Day, and calling out the best PC gaming deals wherever we find them.

And while Prime Day is a 48 hour sale, some other retailers are likely to offer savings all week, and maybe even beforehand, so you'll have loads of opportunities to pick up a bargain. We've already seen the likes of AO and Currys trying to spoil Amazon's party by having big summer sales, so you never know where you're going to find the next big deal or what will be on offer.

Amazon Prime Day PC deals - Do I need a Prime subscription?

To take advantage of Prime Day you have to be a Prime member. But if you're not, you can still take advantage of the deals by signing up for a free 30-day trial. You won't need to pay the £79/year fee and you'll still get the deals. On some deals though, the discount you get will pay for the Prime membership itself, so you might want to take a wait-and-see approach.

Prime gives you free delivery on all Amazon goods while you hold the membership, and you get access to Prime Video, which is nice. It isn't Netflix nice, but it's just fine. Black Sails is on there, which is badass.
