Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe M.2 for $129.99
This Samsung NVMe has 2TB of storage with write speeds up to 3,500 MB/s, which makes it a great lightweight upgrade for your PC, and you can bring it home for a fraction of the full retail price. Unfortunately, if you are looking for a PS5 upgrade, this one isn’t quite fast enough to serve, so you’ll need to look elsewhere for a console upgrade.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Multi-Platform Gaming Headset for $136.59
Amazon is offering $43 off the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 wireless gaming headset. The Nova 7 is the successor to the highly rated Arctis 7 series of headsets. In this price range, this is our recommendation for the best wireless gaming headset for 2023. It’s every bit as good as its predecessor but with some welcome upgrades, like a USB Type-C charging port, simultaneous wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, and multi-platform compatibility with the PC, Switch, and PS5/PS4 consoles (sorry Xbox gamers, you have to get the Nova 7X).
Razer Nari Ultimate Wireless Gaming Headset with Haptic Feedback for $102.97
Amazon is offering the top-end Razer Nari Ultimate wireless gaming headset for only $102.97. That’s a massive 49% price drop from its original $200 MSRP. Rare amongst gaming headsets, the Razer Nari features haptic feedback for even more immersion in your games. That’s combined with big 50mm drivers and THX Spatial Audio 7.1ch surround sound to provide you with plenty of loud, clear, and distortion-free audio.
Alienware Aurora R14 RTX 3080 PC for $1499
This config is equipped with a liquid-cooled AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU, RTX 3080 GPU, 16GB of DDR4-3200MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The RTX 3080 is a great pick for up to 4K gaming without spending an egregious sum of money. I’ve run an RTX 3080 system paired with a 4K display and had no problems playing games like Elden Ring, Genshin Impact, and Hogwarts Legacy just fine at a steady 60fps. The liquid-cooled Ryzen 7 5800X pairs very well with the RTX 3080 and won’t bottleneck your gaming. Other features include an 80PLUS Platinum 750W power supply and a clear side panel to show off your interior components. Dell also shaved off $200 more bucks off the already-great sale price.
Alienware m15 R7 15″ AMD Ryzen 7 6800H RTX 3070 Ti Gaming Laptop for $1399.99
The Alienware m15 R7 laptop features a 15″ 2560×1440 QHD 240Hz G-SYNC IPS display, AMD Ryzen 7 6800H CPU, GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GPU, 16GB of DDR5-4800MHz RAM, and 1TB SSD. The 6000-series CPU is designed to compete with Intel’s latest Alder Lake CPUs, and this particular Ryzen 7 model is comparable to the Intel Core i7-12700H. It’s about 10%-15% faster than the previous generation AMD Ryzen 5000-series CPUs. That is to say, it is an excellent processor in terms of both workstation and gaming performance and it certainly won’t be your bottleneck when it comes to gaming.
Memorial Day 2023 Mattress Deals
Sony X85K TV
The X85X is a great gaming TV. It has both HDMI 2.1 ports and a 120Hz native refresh rate, which means it supports 4K @ 120Hz over HDMI 2.1 when connected to the PS5 or Xbox Series X consoles. It also supports variable refresh rate and wide color gamut.
65″ LG Evo C2 4K OLED Gaming TV for $1394.99
Woot is offering the 2022 LG Evo C2 65″ OLED TV for only $1394.99. That’s cheaper than the best price we sawduring Black Friday. The LG C2 is one of the best TVs on the market, especially for current gen console gaming. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports and a native 120Hz panel that supports true 4K @ 120Hz passthrough when paired with a PS5, Xbox Series X, or RTX 30 series equipped PC. There’s also variable refresh rate (VRR), which is this TV’s version of adaptive sync technology, as well as auto low latency mode (ALLM), where the TV automatically switches to a lower latency when it detects gameplay. The LG C2 also supports HGiG, which is automatically calibrated tone mapping specific to your TV model.
Nintendo Switch 256GB Memory Card for $18
If you’ve started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch’s base storage capacity. The Switch and Switch OLED have 32GB and 64GB of internal storage respectively. Some of that is reserved for the OS. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom takes up over 18GB of storage all by itself. Other must-have titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pokemon Sword or Shield tap out at 13.5GB each. There’s only one expansion slot in the Switch console so you want to make sure you get the biggest card you can afford.
Preorder the ASUS ROG Ally at Best Buy
The ASUS ROG Ally gaming handheld is finally up for preorder, and only at Best Buy. People are very excited about this device because it trumps the Steam Deck in many respects. At $699.99, it’s only $50 more than the 512GB Steam Deck variant. It has a higher resolution 1080p display with up to 120Hz refresh rate, a more powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and most importantly, a Windows 11 OS so that you can play pretty much any PC game, not just the ones that are available on Steam. It’s even slightly smaller and lighter than the Steam Deck. Orders will ship out on June 13. Check out our very own IGN ASUS ROG Ally review.
Gigabyte AORUS FO48U 48″ 4K OLED Gaming Monitor with HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 for $799.99
Amazon has athe Gigabyte AORUS 48″ OLED gaming PC monitor for only $799.99. That’s easily the lowest price out right now an OLED gaming monitor from any brand. Because this is a true OLED panel, it boasts incredible black levels and color reproduction, far better than any IPS or VA monitor out there. It’s a great gaming monitor thanks to its 1ms response time, 120Hz refresh rate, and G-SYNC/FreeSync Premium compatibility. Because it’s a monitor and not a TV, it has more connectivity options like HDMI 2.1 AND DisplayPort 1.4, both of which are capable of supporting 4K @ 120Hz video.
Alienware m15 R7 15″ AMD Ryzen 7 6800H RTX 3070 Ti Gaming Laptop for $1399.99
Dell is offering the Alienware m15 R7 15″ Intel AMD Ryzen 7 6800H gaming laptop with RTX 3070 Ti video card for only $1399.99 after $750 in instant savings. This is the most powerful Alienware gaming laptop you’ll currently find for under $1500. The 6000-series CPU is designed to compete with Intel’s latest Alder Lake CPUs, and this particular Ryzen 7 model is comparable to the Intel Core i7-12700H. It’s about 10%-15% faster than the previous generation AMD Ryzen 5000-series CPUs. The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti provides plenty of muscle on the GPU front, and you’ll need it to run games at the native QHD resolution.
Squishmallows Pikachu for $24.99
Not only does Amazon have the new Squishmallows Pikachu 14″ plush, which is pretty hard to find, but they also have the best price at $24.99. No one’s too old for stuffies, not even moms. This plush is big, it’s adorable, it’s soft, and unlike flowers it will last for a good while.
Apple iPad 10.2″ 64GB for $269.99
Arrives by Mother’s Day
Today Amazon has the 2021 Apple iPad 10.2″ Wi-Fi 64GB tablet for only $269.99, and 18% price drop from its $329 MSRP. This is the least expensive iPad you can buy right now (brand new) and it’s the same price we saw on Black Friday. Even at MSRP, the 2021 iPad is $70 cheaper than the iPad Mini, $270 cheaper than the iPad Air, and $470 cheaper than the iPad Pro. Despite its low price tag, this is a capable and fully featured tablet. The Apple A13 Bionic chip offers very good CPU and GPU performance and the large 10.2-inch Retina display is bright and crisp. It’s a great option for school, work, or simply relaxing with your favorite movie, book, or streaming service. iPad also features both a front-facing camera for voice chat, and rear camera for taking photos and videos.

Arrives by Mother’s Day
The 2nd gen Apple AirPods Pro truly wireless noise cancelling earbuds is back down to its lowest price again. Amazon currently has it for $199.99, a price drop of $50. The Apple AirPods Pro is one of the best sounding “truly wireless” earbuds you’ll find, especially at this price point. “Truly wireless” earbuds have no wires whatsoever, even to each other. In addition to the excellent sound quality, the AirPods Pro is the only AirPods earbuds with active noise cancelling technology.
Apple Watch SE from $149
Arrives by Mother’s Day
The fact that you can get a fully featured Apple Watch for only $149 is very impressive, especially coming from Apple. Although it was released back in 2020, the 1st gen Apple Watch SE is still a very relevant watch. It sports a gorgeous Retina OLED display. It’s powered by the same S5 chipset that you’d find in the Apple Watch 5 (and only one generation older than the S8 found in the Apple Watch Series 8). Its sleek aluminum casing is water resistant up to 50 meters. It features an accelerometer, gyroscope, and altimeter, optical heart sensor for heart rate monitoring and irregular heart rhythm detection, GPS and motion sensors for tracking your pace and distance when exercising, sleep tracking, and more.
Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 8 RTX 4090 Gaming PC for $3213
360mm All-in-One CPU Liquid Cooling
This particular config features a 13th gen Intel Core i9-13900KF Raptor Lake CPU and GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and 1TB SSD. The CPU is cooled by a massive 360W all-in-one liquid cooler along with three 120mm ARGB fans for airflow.
The RTX 4090 is far and away the most powerful video card you can get right now. No other GPU, either from NVIDIA or from AMD, comes close. As a reference, the RTX 4090 is about 110% faster at 4K gaming than the already impressive RTX 3080. It’s about 60% faster than the previous king, the RTX 3090 Ti. Check out our RTX 4090 FE review for more details.
Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 8 RTX 4080 PC for $2465
This particular config features a 13th gen Intel Core i7-13700KF Raptor Lake CPU, and GeForce RTX 4080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The CPU is cooled by a 120mm heatsink/fan combo aong with a whopping six 120mm ARGB fans for airflow.
The RTX 4080 is the second most powerful card on the market. On the AMD front, only the Radeon RX 7900 XTX can keep up (and that’s if you ignore DLSS and ray tracing). It’s much more powerful than previous generation cards, performing about 50% faster than an RTX 3080 Ti. It’s actually only 20%-30% slower than the RTX 4090 (and you’ll really only feel the difference in 4k) while costing hundreds of dollars less. Check out our RTX 4080 review.
Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 8 RTX 4070 Ti PC for $2065
This particular config features a 13th gen Intel Core i7-13700KF Raptor Lake CPU, and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The CPU is cooled by a 120mm heatsink/fan combo aong with a whopping six 120mm ARGB fans for system airflow.
The RTX 4070 Ti performs better than the RTX 3090. Compared to AMD’s best card, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, it only performs slighly worse without ray tracing, but it performs better with ray tracing enabled. It’s still a solid card for 4K gaming and significantly cheaper than the RTX 4080 or 4090.
Silicon Power 2TB PS5 SSD for $114.99
Includes built-in heatsink!
The Silicon Power XS70 SSD is the least expensive PS5-compatible SSD you’ll find right now, and it even includes a beefy aluminum heatsink that’s still slim enough to fit in the PS5 without obstruction. It matches the performance of the Crucial P5 Plus, the original WD Black SN850, and the Samsung 980 Pro.
UGREEN USB Type-C Charger with 100W Power Delivery and Three USB Type-C Ports $49.99
Amazon Prime members only
UGREEN is offering this charger for only $50.39 after an Amazon Prime exclusive discount and a 10% coupon that you can clip on the product page. This is an excellent deal for a USB charger that boasts a huge 100W Power Delivery capacity as well as a whopping four ports, three of them USB Type-C. You can charge a Macbook Pro from 0% to 55% in just 30 minutes. Better yet, you can charge three Nintendo Switches at the maximum charging speed simultaneously. I currently own two similar UGREEN chargers and they’re worked flawlessly for me.
LEGO Horizon Forbidden West Tallneck for $71.99
This is the lowest price ever for one of the most iconic mechanical creatures in the Horizon: Forbidden West game. The LEGO Tallneck is a really fun build because unlike some of the other newer LEGO sets, this model consists of a good variety of bricks in shape, size, and color. It’s also impressively sized at 15″ height. The 1,222 brick count means this build won’t take a huge chunk out of your time. At this price you’re only paying 6 cents a brick, which is an excellent deal as far as LEGO themed sets go. This discount doesn’t come around very often (it’s the first time in 2023) so don’t hesitate. We built this model ourselves and loved it.
$50 Off PS5 God of War Bundle
Amazon is offering a PS5 Disc Edition console bundled with the God of War: Ragnarok game for only $509.99. That’s $50 off the $559.99 MSRP and only $10 more than buying the console without any game! This is the first ever discount we’ve ever seen for the PS5 console from Amazon. We’re not sure how long this deal will last, but we do know that this is a manufacturer’s discount and not a permanent price drop. If you’ve been waiting for a price drop before jumping on the bandwagon, this will be the best deal you’ll find for a while.

Samsung EVO Plus 512GB Micro SDXC Card (Nintendo Switch Compatible) for $34.99
Expired
Amazon has the Samsung EVO Plus 512GB Micro SDXC card for only $34.99, making it the lowest price currently for a Micro SDXC card of that size. This card is 100% compatible for the Nintendo Switch console. The Switch and Switch OLED have only 32GB and 64GB of built-in storage respectively, which is a paltry amount considering The upcoming Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game takes up 18GB of storage all by itself.
