I guarantee you’ll need something in today’s deals. You’ve got top-tier GPUs, fast CPUs, and desktops that could run a small moon base. On the other, there’s a humble Ethernet switch for the cost of a takeaway and an SSD enclosure that does exactly what it says on the tin. Equal parts power and practicality.
We’ve rounded up big-brand hardware, solid indie games, and a handful of useful extras you didn’t know you needed until now. If your rig’s feeling sluggish or your backlog’s looking a little thin, there’s something here worth clicking. Let’s get into it:
This Aurora build gives you the essentials for 1080p and entry-level 1440p gaming. You’re getting an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, RTX 4060 Ti GPU, 16GB DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. It’s air-cooled with a solid side panel and a 500W PSU. At $1,249.99, down from $1,499.99, it’s a fair price for a solid, compact gaming tower with just enough future in it.
Fancy a bit more headroom? This higher-end Aurora rig swaps in the RTX 5070 Ti with 16GB GDDR7. You still get the Core Ultra 7, 16GB DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD, but the 1000W Platinum PSU and clear side panel make it feel more premium. Currently $1,699.99 (was $2,099.99), it’s a nice bump in performance for anyone with their eye on 1440p or light 4K gaming.
At $699, this is a strong entry point. AMD’s Ryzen 5 8400F pairs well with the RX 7600 for 1080p gaming, and the 16GB DDR5 RAM and 1TB SSD give it some long-term usability. Clean design, Windows 11, and a decent amount of upgrade space make it a solid pick for budget-conscious players or a secondary build.
$20 gets you seven narrative-focused indie games, each with high Steam ratings. Highlights include Harold Halibut, SEASON, and Six Ages 2. If you’re into quirky, emotional storytelling and handcrafted visuals, this is a bundle worth exploring. Proceeds go to the It Gets Better Project.
Starting at $5.99 for two games, this bundle includes standouts like STASIS: BONE TOTEM, Jupiter Hell, and Warhammer 40K Mechanicus. You get more value as you stack titles, with per-game prices dropping under $3. A great way to fill out your library with lesser-known but well-reviewed titles.
Just $10.63 for a USB 3.1 Gen 2 enclosure that supports 2230/2242/2260/2280 NVMe drives. Perfect for cloning, salvaging an old SSD, or creating your own external storage. It’s plug-and-play with good heat dissipation and UASP support.
RTX 5070 is a solid mid-tier option for high refresh rate 1440p or stepping into 4K gaming. This PNY model has triple fans, 12GB of GDDR7, and full PCIe 5.0 support. At $549.99, it’s well-positioned against other cards in this range.
Down to $79.99 from $139.99, this stand-up platform case saves desk space while supporting serious cooling. It includes a PCIe 4.0 riser cable, three pre-installed fans, and ARGB strips. A unique look with performance perks if you want your build to stay upright and chill.
With 20 cores and speeds up to 5.5GHz, this processor is revved up for productivity and gaming. It’s unlocked for overclocking, supports PCIe 5.0, and is compatible with Intel 800-series motherboards. At $259.99 (was $404), it’s a powerful option for builders who want the latest architecture.
Plug-and-play, silent, and compact, this 8-port switch is a great fit for expanding wired connections at home or in a small office. At $17.99, it’s cheap insurance against flaky Wi-Fi when you want all your gear on Ethernet.
At $699.99, this laptop delivers decent mobile gaming performance with a 144Hz screen, Ryzen 7 7445HS processor, 16GB RAM, and an RTX 4050. It’s not ultra-light or ultra-premium, but for the price it’s a very usable everyday gaming machine.
