It’s the second and final day ofPrime Day 2024, and while there are still plenty of PC gaming deals to be basketed, let’s state the obvious: once they’re gone, they’re gone. Come midnight, these hardware savings will disappear faster than the free pastries at an RPS staff meetup, so now’s the time if one of them takes your fancy. The deals, not our pastries. Steady on.
As with yesterday’s opening commerce barrage, there’s all manner of component, peripheral, and storage kit on sale.SSDsthat bust the recent storage price hikes? Yep.Graphics cardsthat won’t necessarily cost more than your entire PC combined? Aye. Plus gaming mice, keyboards, headsets, laptops, and maybe even a fewSteam Deckaccoutrements besides. Here, you’ll find only the freshly sifted highlights of what can, bless it, be a relatively tat-heavy deals event. Nothing but strong discounts on genuinely good gear, in other words, available for the remainder of today (July 17th) to those with Amazon Prime subscriptions.
If you’re after a bargain upgrade, but currently find yourself Primeless, you can still sign up for a free Prime trial; this lasts 30 days and gives you full access to prime Day deals, as well as the usual perks like free delivery. If you remember to cancel your membership before those 30 days are up, you won’t pay a penny in subscription fees, and can make off with your new hardware like a bandit. Albeit one that lawfully buys things.
Alternatively, you can ditch Amazon altogether. Rival retailers are cutting their own prices in an attempt to spoil Prime Day’s fun, so you could potentially find all the cheap upgrades you want without handing Amazon so much as an email address. I’ll be rounding up all these competing offers in ourAnti-Prime Day deals hub.

Prime Day 2024: tips to get the best PC gaming deals
Choose what you want in advance
Recommendations are recommendations, but you don’t have to take them as gospel, nor wait for some hardware editor’s approval if you already have a specific upgrade in mind. If anything, this could save you a bit of time (and effort) on the day - Prime Day is a major source of good deals, but it’s also liable to be packed with rubbish, and knowing exactly what to search for will save you having to dig through a mountain of unwanted offers.
One time-saving trick is to add your desired items to your basket before Prime Day begins. Then, once it’s underway, you don’t need to do any actual searching – just head back into the basket and see at a glance whether the things you want are on sale or not. Remove the non-discounted bits if you wish, then head straight to payment. Easy peasy.
Avoid dodgy deals
In this example, we can see that despite previous rises, the current sale price is a genuine drop. |Image credit:Keepa/Amazon/Rock Paper Shotgun
This lets you spot any suspicious pre-sale price rises, and well as confirm that more legit discounts are the real deal.
Don’t just stick to Amazon
Again, just because it’s Prime Day doesn’t mean that Amazon will have the best available price on every single piece of PC gaming equipment. I’ve regularly found that competing retailers (like Ebuyer and Scan in the UK, or Newegg and Best Buy in the US) can provide equally good deals on the exact same products. If you’re really lucky, they may be even cheaper.
Either way, it’s worth checking that prime Day deals, as attractive as they can look, genuinely do make the deepest cuts on what you want. RPS can help with that, via our annualAnti-Prime Day deals roundup.
