As PC hardware continues to face periods of overpricing and shortages, Rock Paper Shotgun is reviving its Anti-Prime Day deals guide. This initiative focuses on highlighting discounts on PC components and peripherals from retailers that are not Amazon, aiming to provide value to consumers without supporting the e-commerce giant.
The guide specifically avoids Amazon's Prime Day offerings, instead curating a selection of hardware that is deemed worthwhile for purchase. This approach allows consumers to save money while the publication aims to maintain ethical standards by not directing traffic or sales towards Amazon.
The Anti-Prime Day guide covers a range of PC hardware categories, including:
Graphics Cards
Deals on graphics cards are available for UK and US customers. These components are crucial for gaming performance and are often subject to significant price fluctuations.
CPUs
Savings can be found on central processing units (CPUs) for both UK and US markets. Processors are a fundamental component for any PC build.
RAM
Discounts are also being offered on RAM modules for PC builds in the UK and US. Increased RAM capacity can improve system performance, especially in multitasking scenarios.
SSDs and Storage
For those looking to expand their storage capacity or upgrade to faster Solid State Drives (SSDs), deals are available across UK and US retailers.
Gaming Monitors
Consumers can find deals on gaming monitors from various non-Amazon retailers in the UK and US. A quality monitor is essential for an immersive gaming experience.
Gaming Mice
Discounts on gaming mice are available for shoppers in both the UK and US. Precision and comfort are key factors for competitive gaming peripherals.
Gaming Keyboards
Retailers are also offering deals on gaming keyboards for UK and US consumers.
