Best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days PC gaming deals 2023 - Day 2
Big deals, on days, for the UK and US
The Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale is into is second and final day, and it's still rife with PC gaming deals on a scale you won’t see outside of Prime Day itself. Or Black Friday. Or the Amazon Spring Sale, come to think of it. Jeff, mate, sure you've got enough of these things?
Ecommerce saturation aside, I will say that Prime Big Deal Days – which runs until the end of October 11th – does serve up some respectable price cuts across the usual wide breadth of PC gaming hardware. They're on the stuff you’d actually want, too – there are discounts on some of the finest SSDs, peripherals, CPUs, and even graphics cards that we’ve shunted through the RPS test labs. In this guide, I’ve picked out only the best of the best deals; if there’s a PC upgrade worth having from Prime Big Deal Days, you’ll find it here.
The catch? As with Prime Day, this event is tailored specifically for Amazon Prime members. There might still be the odd saving that’s available to all, but all of the really choice Prime Big Deal Days offers will be limited to those with a subscription.

There is a way around the Prime requirement, though. If you just want the event deals without the long-term commitment, you can simply sign up for Prime’s free 30-day trial. This gives you all the rights and perks of a full Prime membership, but you’ll only be charged the monthly £9 / $15 fee if you choose to keep going at the end of those 30 days. If not, just cancel it before the trial is up, and you can make off with your Prime Big Deal Days spoils regardless.
Onwards lies the full list, so simply scroll down for a casual browse, or the shortcuts below to jump to a specific section.

Best SSD and storage deals
PC games are becoming so reliant on speedy data streaming that Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, two of 2023’s fattest blockbusters, won’t even run properly on a hard drive. Arming yourself with a capacious SSD has therefore never been more valuable, and these deals include some of the finest drives in the business. Some of the best microSD cards for the Steam Deck are going cheap as well.

Best gaming monitor deals
Upgrading your gaming monitor needn’t involve spending as much as you can on a 4K jumbotron. Even a single heightened spec, like a 75Hz or IPS panel, can improve how your games look compared to a dull office monitor – though the sweet spot arguably remains 1440p with a 144Hz or 165Hz panel.

Best gaming headset deals
Integrated monitor speakers are usually bad enough to make Edward W. Kellogg vibrate tunefully in his grave. Don’t make your games sound worse – get a decent gaming headset and enjoy richer, fuller, more detailed audio, along with a microphone for clearer Discord name-calling. It’s what he would have wanted.

Best graphics card deals
If you’ve read many RPS graphics card review in the past year, you might recall me whinging about prices in approximately all of them. Mercifully, Prime Big Deal Days seems to be helping out in this regard, trimming down the cost of a current-gen GPU upgrade.

Best CPU deals
Good deals on gaming CPUs aren’t as forthcoming as they are for other hardware types, but I have managed to dig up a few on recent AMD and Intel chips, for the US crowd especially.

Best RAM deals
Both DDR4 and DDR5 RAM kits are going cheap at the moment. Relatively speaking, in the latter’s case, though DDR5 memory is downright essential if you’re planning to upgrade to an AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU. Intel chips support both types, as things stand.

US deals:

As recently as Prime Day 2023 in July, most dealsified gaming laptops packed last-gen CPUs and graphics processors. The tide appears to be turning for Prime Big Deal Days, as there are more than a few discounted lappies with the latest, DLSS 3-capable RTX 40 series GPUs.

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days 2023: How to get the best deals
Don’t be fooled by fake discounts
A lot of "sale" prices on Amazon are often just a devious sleight of hand: shortly before a major deals event like this one, sellers will raise the price of an item, then drop it back down once the event starts. This lets them advertise the lowered price as a discount, when it may be equal to or even higher than it was previously.
The Keepa browser extension is an excellent defence against this sinister shopping shithousery. Once installed, it adds a price tracking graph to every Amazon listing you view, plotting out fluctuations and revealing if a product was recently more or less expensive. It’s not just useful as rip-off protection, either – Keepa can help you identify the really juicy deals by confirming steep price drops on the day.
Choose what you want in advance
Assuming Prime Big Deal Days is anything like previous Prime Day (and Prime Day-adjacent) events, you won’t want to jump in like it's an unsupervised ball pit. For every respectable piece of price-slashed PC gaming gear, there’s usually about 20 bits of unwanted plastic scrap, and you’ll waste far too much of your day if you simply dig through the pile looking for gems. Or worse, you end up buying tat you don’t need, just because it looked like a good deal.
Instead, consider what you actually want for your PC and peripherals. Set a budget, read reviews (ours), and consult buying guides (also ours), then decide on which specific products to look for. Maybe not all of them will be on sale, but you’ll have already narrowed the search, and won’t be wasting cash on impulse buys.
Let someone else find deals for you
Alternatively, and in the manner preferred by Reedpop’s SEO managers, you could just check the upcoming RPS deals guides. Like you're already doing by being on this page, in fact. I’ll be down the Prime mines across both days, returning with highlights of the available PC gaming kit.
You can also let Amazon themselves do some of the work, by making smart use of item filters. These will let you search for specific product types, including PC hardware, as well as set price limits or filter by discount percentages.
