There are lots of gaming PC deals to choose from if you want a pre-built machine, but for those who prefer to build their own gaming desktops, or for gamers who are thinking about making component upgrades, you should be looking for offers like Amazon’s 35% discount for the MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics card. The GPU will be yours for $320, for savings of $170 on its original price of $490, but only if you act fast because there’s no telling how long its stocks will last.

Why you should buy the MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

According to our guide on how to buy a gaming desktop, you should be paying the most attention to the graphics card. That’s because it’s the component that plays the biggest part in making sure the games that you play look beautiful, as it enables high frame rates and resolutions. The MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics card, which sits at the sweet spot before you experience diminishing returns from more expensive GPUs, will let you play at 1440p resolution with decent frame rates. It’s enough to play the best PC games, though for some of the more demanding titles, you may have to choose low to medium graphics settings. Still, the RTX 3060 Ti remains the best graphics card under $500, as identified by our roundup of the best graphics cards.

The MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics card supports ray tracing, and it prevents overheating with a heatsink design that includes improved airflow dynamics, core pipes that spread the heat, and MSI’s Torx Fan 3.0 with alternating traditional fans blades and dispersion blades. The GPU also offers slid build quality with an anti-bending strap to make sure that its structure remains intact over time.

With so many great Amazon Prime Day deals floating about, we aren't surprised to see a great one on the Lenovo Legion T5. Interestingly, this deal comes specifically from the Walmart Prime Day sale, where you can grab the LEgion T5 for $799 rather than the usual $1,499. That's a significant discount because an RTX 3060 Ti alone could run you almost $300. We do have to warn you, though, that this deal is only available to Walmart+ members, so if you don't have a subscription, you can grab this , which is a great deal, especially if you're a Walmart regular.

Some of the best gaming laptops are thin and light; the MSI Stealth 15M certainly falls on that list. Of course, that does tend to come at a price, but luckily the Amazon Prime Day deals floating around right now include a great deal that lets you get it for 43% off. Interestingly, this deal comes from the Walmart Prime Day sale, which lets you grab the MSI Stealth 15M for just $799, rather than the usual $1,399; that's a pretty substantial discount and well worth buying. Just keep in mind that this deal is only available for Walmart+ subscribers. However, luckily, you can grab a one-month subscription or go for the if you use Walmart regularly.

Why you should buy the MSI Stealth 15M
The MSI Stealth 15M shares a lot with the MSI Stealth GS66, including the 0.63-inch thickness and minimalistic design that doesn't give off gaming laptop vibes, which can be off-putting to use in a work environment. As for gaming, you get the excellent RTX 3060, a mid-range GPU that should handle most games relatively well in medium to high settings and 100+ frames. It should handle Elden Ring and Diablo 4 relatively well, although, much like all gaming PCs these days, it will struggle with Cyberpunk 2077. Luckily the 15.6-inch FHD resolution won't stress the GPU too much, and the 144Hz refresh rate is excellent if you're aiming for the big free-to-play games like Fortnite, where higher framerates matter.
