October 6, 2026 - 3:27 AMAMD's 9800X3D plunges in the US - now just $411 at Amazon, $2 shy of all-time low

While it's not quite the lowest price ever, the potent AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has plunged to within $2 of its all-time low in the early going over at Amazon US. The cheapest we've clocked this CPU previously is $409.95, but right now you can grab one for $411, a deal we don't expect to stick around for long.

Ryzen 7 9800X3D: was $479 now $411
Get AMD's 8-core, 16-thread king of gaming performance, with its industry-leading X3D cache that drastically boosts frame rates. View Deal

As you can see from our testing data, the 9800X3D is one of the best CPUs on the market for gaming. While it isn't the outright fastest anymore, its more modest power draw compared to the 9850X3D means it retains our crown as the best CPU for gaming.

October 6, 2026 - 3:57 AMUK RAM deal - get 32GB of DDR5 for 399

RAM pricing is pretty terrible these days, so we'll take deals wherever we can get 'em. This Crucial 32GB DDR5 kit with 6400 MHz speeds works with both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO, making it perfect for either platform.

October 6, 2026 - 4:30 AMSave $500 on the ABS Flux II Aqua with 32GB of DDR5 and an RTX 5070

Most RTX 5070 desktops are selling north of $2,000 when paired with 32GB of DDR5, but the ABS Flux II Aqua is on sale for $1,799.99, knocking $500 off its list price. In addition to the memory and RTX 5070, the prebuilt comes with a 1TB NVMe SSD and Intel Core i7-14700F CPU. The machine also comes with a free copy of Control Resonant thanks to an Nvidia promotion.

The ABS Flux II Aqua comes with an Intel Core i7-14700F, Nvidia RTX 5070, 32GB of DDR5 memory, and 1TB of SSD storage. View Deal

If you're unfamiliar, ABS is Newegg's in-house PC brand, and unlike many prebuilts that use a grab bag approach to components, Newegg lists the specific components you'll get in your build. This model, for instance, comes with a Gigabyte B760M C V3 motherboard and a Kingston SNV3S 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD.

As you can see from the data we gathered in our GPU benchmark hierarchy, the RTX 5070 offers triple-digit frame rates at 1080p without any upscaling or frame generation assistance. At 4K, its average drops to 37.6 FPS, making 1440p the ideal sweet spot for native resolution. As with other RTX 50-series GPUs, the RTX 5070 supports DLSS Super Resolution and Multi-Frame Generation.

The Core i7-14700F isn't as fast as AMD's recent X3D chips, but it's still among Intel's fastest gaming chips. This model comes with a locked multiplier and lacks integrated graphics. However, even at stock settings, the Core i7-14700K offers 97% of the gaming performance of the Core i9-14900K. - Jake Roach

October 6, 2026 - 4:57 AMCorsair's tiny PC touchscreen discounted in all five colors

The viral Corsair Xeneon Edge LCD touchscreen is back in stock and discounted at Corsair, with $50 off all five colors.

The Corsair Xeneon Edge is a 14.5-inch display designed to serve as an extension for your desktop and give you a small screen to host your most important apps. Its versatility means you can mount it practically anywhere - horizontally under your main monitor, vertically beside your primary display, or as a digital status panel inside your PC case.View Deal

This touchscreen can be used standalone, mounted with magnets, or even integrated into select Corsair PC cases. It can serve as a control system for your music or voice chats, a comment or chat window for your live streams, or as a nerve center monitoring your PCs vital signs. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically, offering a 2560 x 720 resolution display with a 60Hz refresh rate. This was one of the most popular deals during the last Prime Day earlier in the summer, so it won't be around for long. - Stephen Warwick.

October 6, 2026 - 5:26 AMGrab the Razer Huntsman Mini 60% Wired for an all-time low price of $69

Amazon has the Razer Huntsman Mini 60% Wired down to an all-time low price of $69, taking off 47% from the keyboard's $129.99 list price. Razer offers the keyboard with either clicky or linear optical switches, though only the linear version is on sale at Amazon. If you're interested in the clicky version, it's on sale for the same price at Best Buy.

The keyboard is primarily constructed out of plastic, though Razer uses an aluminum top frame for a bit of premium flair. - Jake Roach

October 6, 2026 - 6:01 AMGrab this gaming mic with a built-in stand for just $45

HyperX is known for its excellent line of gaming microphones - they're easy to use, they make you sound great, and they have a handy tap-to-mute button that works perfectly. While the QuadCast 2 S is the company's flagship mic with four polar patterns, most people only need one. And that's where the SoloCast 2 comes in.

This USB condenser microphone features just one polar pattern (cardioid), and is designed to pick up the voice of one person directly in front of it. It's a very sturdily built mic - a solid black cylinder with a metal grille, and it weighs almost 13 ounces (365.7g). But unlike most microphones, this actually hides a built-in stand. You can tilt the microphone back about 40 degrees (which angles it right at your face, if it's sitting on a desk). The bottom is lined with rubber so it won't slip around, and there's also a mounting point for those who would still prefer to mount it on a boom arm.

SoloCast 2: was $59.99 now $44.98
This 14mm electret condenser capsule mic features an integrated desktop stand that tilts the mic upward 40 degrees (there's a mounting point on the bottom of the stand, in case you do want to mount it on a boom arm). It has a cardioid polar pattern and sounds pretty good out of the box, and it features HyperX's signature tap-to-mute button on the top. View Deal

The mic has a USB-C port at the back and a large tap-to-mute button on top, as well as a red indicator light that lets you know when the mic is muted. The microphone records at a high-res 24-bit / 96 kHz bit-depth/sample rate, and it sounds very good out of the box. It has a built-in internal shock mount and pop filter, but it definitely benefits from being mounted instead of just sitting on your desk. However, it's nice to know the option is always there, thanks to the built-in desk stand.

It's a pretty simple mic, and it's already pretty budget-friendly at retail price. But now it's even cheaper - just $44.99 at HyperX, down $15 from its original price of $59.99. You can read my full review here. - Sarah

October 6, 2026 - 6:33 AMCreative's line of cute, round Pebble PC speakers are on sale

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)

If you're looking for a pair of desktop speakers to elevate your laptop setup without breaking the bank, Creative's Pebble USB 2.0 speakers are the perfect budget-friendly option. These compact speakers feature a distinct spherical shape inspired by the pebbles found in Japanese rock gardens. They measure just 4.4 inches wide and have 2-inch full-range drivers that are angled up 45 degrees so the sound hits your ears when they're placed on a desktop. And they're currently on sale for just $19.99 - yes, it's only $3.75 off their retail price of $23.74, but that's about the most you'll find these marked down.

Pebble V3: was $44.99 now $37.99
These round, angled PC speakers feature up to an 8W RMS and offer USB-C, 3.5mm AUX, and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. View Deal

The Pebble USB 2.0 speakers feature both USB-A and 3.5mm AUX inputs - they don't need to be plugged into a power outlet, just a standard USB port, so they're perfect for laptops and mobile setups. While the sound isn't necessarily going to wow you, these speakers pack a pretty impressive punch for how small they are. Of course, if you don't mind spending a little more, the Creative Pebble V3 is also on sale for $37.99, which is 16% off its retail price of $44.99. The Pebble V3 has more power - twice as much as the Creative Pebble USB 2.0, or up to 8W RMS - and features USB-C, 3.5mm AUX, and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. Both the Pebble USB 2.0 and the Pebble V3 come in black and white options (and both colorways are on sale). - Sarah
