This week in PC hardware deals covers a wide range of gaming needs. One of the most powerful video cards to date is on sale, but there is also a great combo offer to get you started on building a new system. A couple of high resolution displays can be had for a decent price, as well as some cheap storage.
As always, feel free to share any sales you come across in the comments.
Nvidia's GTX 1080 Ti is a blazing-fast top-end graphics card, but remains quite pricey. This sale chops $40 off its MSRP, though you should note that this is a Founders Edition SKU of the 1080 Ti. It doesn't have a robust cooling solution or crazy overclocks out of the box, but it still performs well above every graphics card out now (except the $1200 Titan Xp).
New system builders may want to look into this CPU, motherboard, and RAM combo. It's made up of an Intel Core i5-7600, an ASRock H270 micro ATX motherboard, and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM at 2133MHz. Overall, you'll save $40 for a strong foundation to build a new gaming computer.
Speaking of system builders, you can snag the Windows 10 64-bit Home Edition operating system from Fry's Electronics for $79.99 if you sign up to receive promo codes. Technically, it isn't hardware, but what's a good system without the proper software?
This external hard drive from Western Digital offers a ton of storage for the price. It connects through USB 3.0 and requires an external power source to use. The 8TB version is also on sale for $179.99.
If you're looking for a cost-effective solution gaming laptop, you might not get more value than this one from Eluktronics. It comes with a desktop Intel Pentium G4560 dual-core CPU, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and a GTX 1050 Ti, which make for fine gaming performance at 1080p. It's also equipped with an IPS panel and a 1TB 7200RPM hard drive.
If your system is powerful enough for 1440p resolution in modern games and you're still using a 1080p display, you might want to consider this monitor from Acer. It brings 1440p into a 27 inch IPS display, which means you'll get better color reproduction in addition to the higher resolution. Be sure to use the promo code to swoop it up for this price.
This Dell monitor made it onto our list last week, but this time we found open boxes available for even cheaper. The S2716DGR not only packs in a high native resolution of 1440p but also has a 144Hz refresh rate and G-Sync to prevent screen tearing at variable frame rates.
Prices on system memory are still higher than they've been in the recent past, but if you're need of 16GB of RAM, this is a cost-effective option. Take note that the heatsinks on these RAM sticks are a bit taller than most, so check twice to make sure you have enough clearance in your case. And don't forget to use the promo code to get these sticks at this price.
We found the Corsair Scimitar to be one of the better mice that feature a plethora of programmable buttons. Its 12 side buttons have texturing that helps distinguish them from one another. The buttons are solid and tactile without being to soft to accidentally press when gripping the mouse.
The MX 780 mouse from G.Skill may be on the gaudy side in terms of design, but it performs well and has plenty of modular features. There are interchangeable grips and extra buttons on both sides of the mouse, and it comes with optional weights if you prefer a heavier mouse.
After a successful Kickstarter that raised over $116,000 in 2014 and years in early access, Hover: Revolt of Gamers is finally available on PC, Mac, and Linux.
Three developers strong from Montpellier, France, Fusty Games took their love of Sega's 2000 hit Jet Set Radio and modernized it. In their world, all forms of videogames and entertainment are outlawed. You'll fight back against the oppression by vandalizing propaganda and helping citizens along the way with the same fun and familiar parkour moves of Jet Set Radio.
The game features nine different playable characters, two open world stages, four linear stages, and a multiplayer mode. In multiplayer, you'll be able to play competitively or cooperatively in races, chases, minigames and more.
Hover also features 17 original electronic songs by Jet Set Radio composer Hideki Naganuma. The full score is available as DLC.
To celebrate the launch, Hover will be 20 percent off $19.99 for a limited time.
By Anonymous on Jun 04, 2017 02:30 am Danger Zone has many similarities to the mode that made Burnout one of the most memorable racers we have ever played. Take a look at the comparison between Danger Zone and the most Recent Burnout game, Paradise.
From the studio that created Gothic and Risen comes Elex, a RPG by Piranha Bytes and THQ Nordic that combines elements of just about every fictional universe out there into one. Magic and mechs in one game? You bet.
The full game launches Oct. 17, 2017 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC alongside a collector's edition. This version of the game will come with the game and manual, an artbook, original soundtrack, a cloth map of Magalan, a combat drone amulet, and a 10-inch figure of an Alb Mage.
In Magalan, a world which has been hit a by a meteor and is on the brink of destruction, you are an Alb. You're cold, you're disciplined, and you've only been fed this world's life force: elex. While things seemed certain for you to succeed, you become stranded in one of the five regions of the world away from your people, and away from elex.
Elex is a sandbox open-world game. All five regions are open from the moment the game starts; if you can see it on the map, you can go to it. And of course, there are plenty of enemies to slay with a wide arsenal from traditional crossbows to futuristic laser guns. You can also join one of four different factions. Magalan is putty in your hands; your choices can save it or lead it to its end.
Here is what we are expecting to see from Electronic Arts at E3 2017.
