DF s Amazon Prime Day 2022 PC peripheral deals Let's begin with peripherals, the vehicle of PC gaming. This means basically anything that sits on your desk rather than in your computer, including monitors, keyboards, mice, gamepads, headsets and mouse pads. Peripherals tend to see bigger gaps between their regular and sale prices, so expect plenty of respectable deals this time around. Take a look! Prime Day monitor deals The hottest monitors are based around LG's Fast IPS panels, offering a good mixture of image quality and motion clarity, while Samsung's VA panels are a strong alternative option with better contrast. Mini LED and OLED monitors are also becoming more widespread, so we'll be looking out for some good deals on these premium options.

LG UltraGear 27GL83A-B - £ 280 was £ 350 This 27-inch 1440p 144Hz monitor is a top DF pick, thanks to its surprisingly excellent motion handling for an IPS panel.

Samsung Odyssey G5 - £ 229 was £ 300 £229 is an excellent price for this 1440p 144Hz curved VA monitor. Samung Odyssey G7 - £ 420 was £ 550 I use the 32-inch model of this monitor for competitive FPS, thanks to an excellent 240Hz refresh rate with the clarity of 1440p. MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD 27 1440p 144Hz monitor - £ 379 was £ 500 Another strong monitor in the 1440p 144Hz sweet spot, at a competitive price.

DF s Amazon Prime Day 2022 PC component deals OK, let's switch gears here to the real nuts and bolts of the operation: the internal components that make your PC tick, from spinning disk hard drives and SSDs to graphics cards, processors and RAM. We don't normally see massive price swings on components as we do peripherals, but there were still plenty of deals to be had for Prime Day 2022. Prime Day SSD and hard drive deals SSDs and hard drives, whether internal drives or portable units, are some of the most commonly discounted and best selling items whenever Amazon does a big sale. That's because most drives work across a wide range of desktop PCs, and as something of a commodity, prices can be discounted pretty heavily. That made Prime Day 2022 a great time to get more storage at a bargain price, including handy external drives for console game storage and super-fast internal NVMe SSDs for desktop PCs and laptops. UK deals WD Blue SN570 2TB - £ 170 was £ 190 Only a slight discount, but for an already inexpensive SSDs and one of our picks for best SSDs for gaming. WD Black SN850 500GB with heatsink - £ 83 was £ 91 There are larger discounts on the larger sizes, but this SSD starts cheap - and it'll work with PS5, too.

Prime Day graphics card GPU deals Despite the massive silicon shortage and price inflation of graphics cards in 2021, 2022 is a much more promising year for cut-price GPUs thanks to burgeoning supply.

Razer Blade 15 - $2690 was $3000 The Razer Blade 15 comes with a powerful RTX 3080, plus a 360Hz screen ideal for FPS. Prime Day RAM deals Faster RAM can provide a noticeable boost to frame-rates, especially on AMD Ryzen systems, so it's well worth considering if you can find a kit at a low price. Remember to stick to two or four sticks to ensure you're not sacrificing your speed and be sure to turn on XMP in your BIOS after installation! If you're not sure which DDR4 sticks are best for you, we recommend 3200MHz C16 for most people. Higher frequencies do provide a performance advantage, with 3600MHz being a good sweet spot, but there are diminishing returns from there. DDR5 is also available, but offers a relatively modest performance gain in exchange for much higher latencies and prices.
