Where to find the best PC Gaming Deals

There's a few places to check out when it comes to shopping for the best PC gaming deals, many of which are pretty obvious. Of course, marketplaces like Amazon and Walmart will offer a great selection but the prices or availability of some products may be slim.

More PC tech focused stores such as TigerDirect and Newegg will offer a more refined selection of deals. These guys will offer some of the best selections of hardware, as well.

Brand sites, such as Razer.com, will also offer discounts through their shop alongside retailers, too. The deals you'll find will vary greatly in price compared to retailer sites, so be sure to shop around through all options to find the best price.

Are pre-built gaming PCs worth it?

This is a tough question to answer, as in most cases pre-built gaming PCs tend to lean towards the "not worth it" category due to poor or inadequate system hardware.

While pre-built desktop gaming PCs are a quick and easy way to get going, they aren't the best option all-around. Building your own gaming PC from scratch by purchasing hardware separately is the better route, but the challenge here is finding specific hardware on sale right now.

In the past, buying hardware and building your own rig was both cheaper and better. Nowadays buying a pre-built is the best way to snag a new NVIDIA RTX Series GPU, as the cost of the entire pre-built is outweighed by the value of these cards.

Personally, I recommend those who are able to build their own PC from scratch. However, there are some excellent deals on gaming PCs that are well worth a look from time to time.

Why can't I find a graphics card on sale cheap right now?

This is due to a myriad of reasons, but mostly due to rise of crypto currencies and mining. While not bad in and of themselves, crypto currencies require a large amount of processing power to be mined, which higher end graphics cards are excellent at doing.

Finding a graphics card on sale cheap, let alone finding a newer GPU at all, is going to be very tough for some time. As with the previous question of if pre-built gaming PCs are worth it, there are ways to circumvent the issue but they require a bit of patience and luck to achieve.

Stock alerts from your favorite retailers will help keep you in the loop as to when new stock arrives, but there is still the issue of dealing with auto-buyers and bots. So even if the GPU comes back in stock, there is still no guarantee there will be any available for purchase.

But stay diligent and check regularly, there is always hope!
