Offers of gaming equipment
Alienware Aurora

The Aurora R14 is an updated version of one of our favorite gaming desktops. It has the sleek Alienware chassis, an RTX 3080 graphics card and 32 gigabytes of RAM, making it a beast machine.
Razer makes some of the best gaming laptops in the world, and the Razer Blade 14 is one of our favorites. It includes an RTX 3080 graphics card, 16 gigabytes of RAM and a 1 terabyte SSD for smooth gaming even when you’re not home.
Few manufacturers can give Razer a run for its money in the gaming laptop space, but Asus is one of those few. The Rog Zephyrus G15 is one of our best overall choices for gaming laptops in 2022, thanks to its RTX 3080 graphics card, 16:10 wide wide bezel display, and AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS processor.
TV and monitor deals

This LG OLED TV (8/10, cable recommended) supports games of up to 120 frames per second (fps) in 4K HDR, as well as Nvidia’s G-Sync or AMD’s FreeSync for the smoothest gaming possible on one of the most beautiful screens we have tried.
Ultrawide monitors like this one from AOC offer much greater peripheral vision coverage than typical screens. Which is a great asset to have during the game. If you want to immerse yourself in the games you play, this monitor is one of our favorite ultrawides.
For those engaged in performance, this LG Ultragear monitor adheres to a 1080p panel, but features up to 240 fps for smoother action even with fast-paced gaming. It is compatible with both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync and the included base is adjustable in height, tilt and pivot.
Okay, technically, Philips Hue lights aren’t game-specific, but which player doesn’t need more RGB lights? This kit is our upgrade selection and is one of the most popular (and also more expensive) smart lighting systems. As long as you feel comfortable betting on a more expensive system in the long run, this is a good deal on an initial package.
Peripheral offers

It’s hard to find a perfect mouse, but the Razer Viper Ultimate is approaching. It’s our best selection of wireless-based mouse, and has been one of our best choices in the past thanks to its ambidextrous design, smart charging base, and convenient dongle storage.
There are not too many buttons on a gaming mouse. That’s how I do it. So does Razer. And so far it has gone pretty well. This mouse is one of our favorites, largely due to the fact that it has 19 customizable buttons, making it a Swiss Army knife for customization for players and workers.
Headphone deals

These headphones were already one of our favorites for less than $ 50, but this offer makes it even sweeter. The wireless version of the Arctis 1 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) impressed us with its rich sound and clear microphone quality. This model is largely the same, but uses a cable connection.
The Bluetooth version of the Arctis 3 is our best choice for Switch players who want to use voice chat. However, this wired option is still a great headset and can be connected to any platform, making it a versatile and economical set of cans.
The Arctis Prime from SteelSeries (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our choice for mid-range gaming headphones for less than $ 100. However, right now it’s a lot less than $ 100. If you want a better-than-average pair of headphones without spending a lot on it, now is the time.
The Logitech G Pro X is currently our best selection for the best wireless gaming headphones. It is compatible with PC, PlayStation and has a solid battery life. Its DTX: S object-based surround sound makes it easy to hear exactly where your enemies are in your game, and Logitech’s G Hub software allows for plenty of audio customization options.
