These are my favorite PC gaming discounts if I only have $100 to spend on October Prime Day.
Prime Day MK2, October Edition (AKA Prime Big Deal Days), is here. While there are some fantastic deals, many of them are still quite expensive. While there are some great deals on gaming PCs these aren't necessarily the cheapest.
- Here's a list of all the October Prime Day PC Gaming deals!
There are some great products in the sub-$100 range. We're talking about monitors, keyboards and SSDs. These are great options if you want to buy several smaller items rather than one large item, but have a larger budget.
We're referring to peripherals, not full-blown components like CPUs or GPUs. You won't find any gaming PCs or laptops on this list. Even the cheapest rigs can cost hundreds of dollars. There are options for PC gamers that cost less than $100. Here's what I would personally choose for Prime Day.

Components
This is our current favorite SSD for gaming. The SN850X is a better option than the cheaper SN770. It offers the best performance PCIe 4.0 can offer. Check out our review). This is a great boot drive that has plenty of room for your games library. At this price, it's worth paying the premium to get faster speed." data-widget-type="deal" data-render-type="editorial">
We can do just fine without liquid cooling. Air cooling is often more cost-effective than liquid cooling and it's also quieter. This BeQuiet cooler is quiet! The cooler is also pretty new.

" data-widget-type="deal" data-render-type="editorial">It's a small VA screen, but it is cheap, from a reputable manufacturer, and has AMD FreeSync, as well as a 100 Hz rate of refresh. That's pretty good deal if you ask me. This would be a great second monitor or a quick main monitor if you are on a budget.
Price Check: Best Purchase $89.99
" data-widget-type="deal" data-render-type="editorial">Right? Fast DDR5 is expensive. This kit isn't expensive and it's ideal for any AMD AM5 gaming PC or the latest Intel gaming PC. It's true that it doesn't come with nice RGB lighting, but if you don't mind not having it, you won't be disappointed. If you don't want it in white, the kit is also available in black at the same price." data-widget-type="deal" data-render-type="editorial">
Peripherals
The G502X keeps the same design as the G502, including the ergonomic shape, spinny scrollwheel and other features that people love. It's our opinion that this is the best wired mouse on the market today. For the price, it's definitely worth a look for those who aren't ready to cut the cord yet.
Price check: Amazon $72.99
" data-widget-type="deal" data-render-type="editorial">Ignore that this model is old because it's a great wireless gaming mouse. It has been my daily driver for the past couple of years and I still swear it up thanks to its respectable specifications and dapper, minimal shell. For this price, you can ignore the newer versions and buy the original Superlight.
Price check: Newegg $119.99
" data-widget-type="deal" data-render-type="editorial">The Everest 60 is a great keyboard that can be used as a base for any expandable keyboard. Hot-swappable switches allow you to swap them out as often as you like. It also has RGB lighting, thick keycaps and pre-lubricated switches. For those who want to hear the glorious "thock" of the keyboard, this is it. All for $50. This is a 60%-keyboard, so there aren't many extra keys like Ins or PgUp/PgDn.

" data-widget-type="deal" data-render-type="editorial">In the last few years, Razer has really improved its mechanical keyboards.

The main selling point of the 8BitDo Ultimate controller is its build quality, which includes satisfying touchables like buttons, triggers and sticks.

Headsets
Even though this headset has been around for some time, it is still the best buy, even at full-price, because of its excellent audio, comfortable fit, and clear microphone. If you don't mind spending extra for a pair wireless cans, then this headset is a great value. With this discount, Cloud Alpha is a real steal. It's our favourite overall headset for a good reason, don't you think?
Price check: Newegg $89.99
" data-widget-type="deal" data-render-type="editorial">This is a great option if you want a wireless gaming headset, but are on the market for one. It's not that different from the V2 Pro 1st gen, which is light, comfortable, and has excellent audio. It has the same physical volume knob on the left ear cup but with a little extra texture. Why spend $28 more on this than the BlackShark V2 Pro 1st-gen? The choice is yours. But the 40+ extra hours of battery life, and the new dongle, are enough to convince me. If you're concerned about the mic, it's not removable." data-widget-type="deal" data-render-type="editorial">
External SD
The Adata SE880 is an excellent USB 3.2 Gen2x2 drive that offers speeds close to their rated speeds during each transfer, before they drop. This is more than enough time for the majority of use cases. This PD20 reviewFor more details). It's a good choice if you have a Gen2x2 port. It's not a flashy device, but it does deliver decent performance at a great price.

It also comes with a whole host of smart app and sync capabilities." data-widget-type="deal" data-render-type="editorial">
If you don't want to use them in your overhead lights, these bulbs or any other LED color-changing bulbs are great to replace your lamp bulb with. This will give your room a more personalized feel.
