Prime Big Deals Days has brought a wealth of deals on computer hardware, giving you incredible options for upgrading your PC setup. But perhaps you don’t yet have a desktop gaming PC. It’s time to strike while the iron is hot: the discounts on offer for the event are too good to pass up. Here, we’ll cook up a current-gen gaming PC using hardware available at a discount during Prime Big Deals Days.
Start with an Intel Core Ultra processor and a B860 motherboard
You’ll find plenty of deals on Intel processors and motherboards during this limited-time sales event, so let’s start this off with a tempting offer from Team Blue. The Intel Core Ultra 5 Processor 245KF is available for 33% off MSRP during Prime Big Deals Days. This chip isn’t the most powerful option in Intel’s current lineup, but it’ll deliver all the performance you need for a mainstream gaming build. For cooling this CPU, we love the affordable ASUS Prime LC 240 ARGB, an AIO CPU liquid cooler that’s extremely easy to set up and available for a mere $88.99 (USD) for a limited time.
Let’s pair this chip with a motherboard that goes all-in on gaming value. The TUF Gaming B860-Plus WiFi delivers on all the essentials for a next-gen motherboard: a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for your new graphics card, a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, a beefy power solution, and great cooling for all the onboard components. WiFi 7 support, a 2.5Gb Ethernet port, and a rear-panel USB 20Gbps Type-C port highlight its connectivity selection. During Prime Big Deals Days, this motherboard can be yours for only $184.99 (USD), a 16% discount.
We don’t pick favorites when it comes to RAM and SSDs, but we’ll note that there are plenty of deals out there right now for these key components. If a 2TB M.2 SSD fits in your budget, you’ll love how much space it provides for your gaming library. On the RAM side, we’ll note that high-speed kits are getting ever more affordable, and Intel CPUs scale nicely with these kits. Aim for a 2x16GB DDR5-6400 kit at the minimum.
Game on with the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5060 and the TUF Gaming VG27AQM1A gaming monitor
For our graphics card, we’re going to stick with the TUF Gaming family of components so that you end up with a build with a consistent, cohesive aesthetic – and outstanding thermal performance, to boot. Right now, you can grab the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5060 for only $339.99 (USD), a 17% discount. Leveraging the latest NVIDIA RTX technologies like DLSS 4, this card gets you rolling into 1440p gaming.
Speaking of 1440p, here’s a gaming monitor that’s a great fit for your new graphics card. The TUF Gaming VG27AQM1A is a 27-inch 1440p gaming monitor with a beefed-up 260Hz refresh rate. It’s got everything you need for a great gaming experience: 1ms response time, G-SYNC Compatible and FreeSync Premium tech, a DisplayHDR 400 certification, and more. For Prime Big Deals Days, we’ve knocked down the price of this monitor to $199.00 (USD), a 40% discount.
This TUF Gaming PC case is extremely easy to build in
For first-time PC builders, the TUF Gaming GT302 PC case makes a lot of sense. As an ATX chassis with extra space up top for a beefy AIO CPU liquid cooler, it’s easily compatible with just about any gear out there. It offers plenty of elbow room for building without sprawling across your desk. And it has all the niceties that PC building veterans have to come to love over the years: integrated cable management features, large preinstalled fans, easy AIO cooler installation, and much more. All that adds up to a streamlined, hassle-free PC building process, and that’s worth pursuing for your first build. If you’re shopping during Prime Big Deals Days, you can pick up this chassis for a very affordable $139.99 (USD), a 15% discount.
TUF power for your TUF build
A power supply isn’t the most exciting component in your build, but it has a very important job to do, so don’t settle for less. The TUF Gaming 850W Gold is built to work behind the scenes for many years to come with its military-grade components, dual-ball fan bearing, PCB coating, and 80 PLUS Gold certification. We’re so confident in this unit that we back it with a 10 year warranty. Right now, it’s available for 15% off MSRP, so don’t wait to pick one up.
