Starting on Sunday of this week, Best Buy launched an “All Gaming PCs on Sale” promotion with literally hundreds of gaming laptops, desktops, and peripherals at deep discounts. While not exactly a 4th of July sale, the timing is also no coincidence. The sale is almost overwhelming with the sheer list of deals to consider, but if you’re looking for the low-down on the absolute best deals in the sale, we’ve got you covered.

Avoid anything that only has a $20-$50 discount, especially with laptops and desktops that cost over $500. Otherwise, there are some offers with hundreds off in savings, like a $500 discount on a CyberTronPC Hyper-2X960 desktop, or a $350 drop on a MSI Stealth Pro Laptop. There are also Logitech PC gaming peripherals with $40-$50 bonus Steam Wallet Cards, similar to what we saw around Black Friday 2014.
The most noteworthy deal of all includes Dell’s Alienware Alpha, the semi-but-not-really Steam Machine released late last year. Now priced at only $400 with free shipping, its an interesting compact desktop rig to consider for light/mid-range gaming on the big screen.
