This RTX 4070-powered MSI Aegis R for $1,500 stands out because of its 2TB SSD, nearly double the storage from other systems we saw on sale this week. The PC itself is no slouch, either. There's power under the hood thanks to its current-gen Core i7 CPU and RTX 4070 GPU combo.
At the start of Prime Day, I found this really impressive 1440p TUF gaming monitor for $200. It's cheaper than some 1080p monitors we found on sale, giving you an affordable path to 1440p gaming. I've used this monitor before, and while I wasn't in love with the contrast, it's fast, ergonomic, and especially works well as a secondary monitor.

These JBL Quantums for $70 are a price for me to consider using them for gaming and working out. Its dual-mode connectivity means you can connect to your phone via Bluetooth and a 2.4GHz USB Type-C dongle for latency-free gaming.
The HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless gaming headset for $150 is a work of sorcery of some kind. Not only does this headset sound incredible, but it also offers 300 hours of battery life. Yeah, not an exaggeration. It comes in HyperX's traditional black and red colorway, which isn't for everyone. But honestly, I think I'm okay with that if I don't have to worry about charging it every night like I do some other headsets.
2023 has been a good year for cheap SSDs, and Prime Day was no different. This Lexar NM790 2TB NVMe SSD for $87 was the best SSD I found, except the stock has been all over the place. But fear not, the 1TB WD SN850X, one of the best SSDs for gaming, is still available and still very much on sale for $60.
Keeping the theme of cheap storage, my favorite external SSD, the Samsung T7 Shield, is also discounted to $80 for a 1TB model. It's a great drive for travel and can handle the elements pretty well. Oh, and it comes in blue!
