I've spent the last week going through pre-Prime Day and then Prime Day gaming PC deals and there have been some hits but plenty of misses. I've been keeping our full list of the best Prime Day gaming PC deals updated, but I know it can sometimes be hard to see the wood for the trees when there are multiple options for every budget.

It's game on for Amazon's annual summer sale, and there are a slew of PC gaming discounts to be had from top brands like Razer, Redragon, and others.

That's especially true while Prime Day PC deals are running. Right now you can get yourself all sorts of discounts on prebuilt machines and hefty gaming components. That being said, it's very easy to mistake a bad PC deal for a good one - especially since a lot of product names and numbers can be like hieroglyphs for newcomers.
