PC hardware remains expensive in 2026, but the final day of Amazon Prime Day and competing retailer events is bringing discounts across SSDs, memory, processors, graphics cards, and complete gaming PC bundles. The offers are time limited, with many expected to end by the close of June 26, while some Newegg, Best Buy, and Walmart promotions continue through June 28.
The current market has made building or upgrading a desktop far more difficult than usual. Memory and storage prices remain high, and even common components such as DDR5 RAM and NVMe SSDs cost more than many PC gamers expect. That makes genuine discounts more useful, especially for anyone planning a new build or replacing older hardware.
Several of the strongest offers focus on higher capacity storage and gaming focused AMD processors. There are also discounted graphics cards from NVIDIA and AMD for players looking to improve performance without paying full retail pricing.
SSD Deals Offer More Storage for New PC Builds
Storage is one of the most important areas to watch during the sales, particularly as modern games continue to take up more space. A 2TB SSD is now a more practical starting point for many gaming PCs, especially if you install several large games at once.
The Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB PCIe 5.0 SSD has dropped to $349.99, down from $679.99. Meanwhile, the 1TB version is available for $206.99. The Samsung 990 PRO 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD is also discounted to $369.99.
Buyers who need more capacity may want to consider the Team Group T Force G50 4TB SSD, which is listed at $449.99. That still represents a significant cost, but it offers a better price per gigabyte than many smaller drives during the current storage shortage.
| Component | Sale Price | Main Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB | $349.99 | Fast PCIe 5.0 storage |
| Samsung 9100 PRO 1TB | $206.99 | Lower cost PCIe 5.0 option |
| Samsung 990 PRO 2TB | $369.99 | High end PCIe 4.0 drive |
| Team Group T Force G50 4TB | $449.99 | Large capacity for game libraries |
AMD Processors Are Among the Better Gaming Deals
AMD processors are also seeing useful discounts. The Ryzen 7 7700X has dropped to $199.99, making it one of the more affordable options for an AM5 gaming build. It includes eight cores and 16 threads, with support for DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 hardware.
For players who want stronger gaming performance, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is available for $348.99. Despite newer chips being available, it remains a highly capable gaming processor and is still a sensible choice for a performance focused desktop.
The Ryzen 9 9900X is also discounted to $368.99 for people who need more cores for work, streaming, editing, or heavier multitasking alongside gaming.
RAM and Graphics Cards Remain Expensive but Discounts Help
DDR5 memory is still costly, but a few sales reduce the impact. G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 6000 32GB kits are listed at $394.99, while Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000 32GB kits are available for $389.99 through Newegg discount codes.
Graphics card deals are more limited, but two options stand out. The MSI Shadow 3X OC RTX 5070 with 12GB of VRAM is available for $579.99, while the PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 XT with 16GB of VRAM has dropped to $649.99.
For people who do not want to build a system from scratch, the Stormcraft Sirius prebuilt is also discounted to $849.99. It includes an Intel Core i5 14400F, Intel Arc B570 graphics, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.
These sales may not fully solve the rising cost of PC hardware, but they offer a better chance to upgrade before prices move even higher.
