Best computer deals for July 2022

HP’s Omen line has some of the sharpest looking gaming machines on the market—and they back it up with solid components. This excellent deal for the HP Omen 45L comes loaded with a Ryzen 7 5800X, GeForce RTX 3070, 16GB RAM at 3733 MHz, a 512GB NVMe SSD, and a 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD. If you’re looking for a solid mid-range gaming PC for a bargain, it doesn’t get much better than this at the moment.

Alienware always delivers a futuristic design and cool aesthetics. But these PCs are known to be a bit pricey—and that’s why it’s best to wait to snag them on a deal. This Alienware Aurora Ryzen Edition R10 comes with a Ryzen 5 5600X, Radeon RX 6700 XT, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB NVMe SSD. The RAM and particularly the SSD are a bit less than most gamers want for their systems, but the CPU and GPU on this unit offer solid value.

SkyTech gaming PCs have been heavily discounted recently and that is only good news for people in the market for an RGB gaming PC. This SkyTech Shadow model leans more toward entry-level budget gaming, but it still packs a Ryzen 5 3600, GeForce GTX 1660, 16GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The graphics card leaves a bit to be desired considering some other budget models come with 3060s. But you could potentially save by buying this system at a steep discount now and replacing the GPU later if you actually need more firepower.

The HP Pavilion 24 comes with a Core i5-11500T, GeForce MX 350, 16GB RAM, a 256GB NVMe SSD, and a 1 TB 7200 HDD. The 23.8-inch display is capable of 1920×1080 resolution and the whole set-up comes with a built-in webcam and decently powerful speakers. Perfect for that new home office upgrade you’ve been looking for.

Skytech comes through with another solid discount. This time, the Skytech Chronos Mini offers a Ryzen 5 3600, GTX 1660 Super, 16GB RAM, and a 500GB SSD. This system definitely falls in the budget/entry-level category, but you get a solid amount of RAM and the added perk of RGB.

The HP Envy makes for a great home-office or family computer. Also, while it might not have dazzling RGB lighting or a futuristic design, this desktop will allow you (or your family) to play all of your favorite games at reasonable frame rates. It comes with a Core i7-11700, GeForce RTX 3060, 16GB RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD, and a 2TB HDD. Not bad for a no-frills tower.

This iBuyPower Trace5MR 1003Ti comes fully loaded with a Core i7-11700KF, GeForce RTX 3080Ti, 16GB RAM, and 1TB NVMe SSD. They also sweeten the deal with some liquid cooling and tons of RGB. While the 1TB SSD is a bit less storage than you would want at this price point, you can’t argue with that CPU and GPU combo.

Most might know Omen as HP’s premium line of gaming desktops. But they also have a line of more affordable gaming-focused options called Victus. This HP Victus 15L comes with a Ryzen 7 5700G, Radeon RX 6600XT, 16GB RAM, a 512GB PCIe SSD, and a 1TB 7200rpm HDD. It might be a little less flair than gamers are used to, but it’ll provide the same performance.

Yeyian gaming might not be a household name, but the specs on this midrange are pretty impressive. It comes with an Intel Core i7-12700KF, GeForce RTX 3070, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD, and a 2TB HDD. The standout here is the i7-12700KF, which is usually found in higher-end desktops. While this is a little overpriced at MSRP, it’s actually a great deal at 33% off.

For those looking for a high-end gaming rig, CyberPowerPC is a great choice. With a sleek under-stated design, the Gamer Supreme 3080 packs some pretty great hardware. It comes with a Core i9-11900KF, a GeForce RTX 3080, 32GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, and a 2TB HDD. They even include a liquid cooling system in case you want to overclock—at your own discretion.
