It would be natural to think that buying a gaming PC on Amazon Prime Day would be the best deal on Amazon. However, you would be wrong. In fact, all the major retailers have begun cutting prices to compete with Amazon, and as a result, it's worth shopping around to find the best discounts.

Or you can have us do the hard work for you. If you're looking for the lowest price (at least for now), Newegg is kicking off this year's event with a bang.

But price isn't the only advantage of choosing Newegg over other retailers for your next PC. Not only do they usually have the best deals, but many of their PC builders are reputable, proven, and reliable.

Of course, that's not to say you won't find well-made machines on Amazon, but anyone who uses Amazon regularly knows the, shall we say, less-than-trustworthy brands that appear in the listings, and PC builders are no exception.

So here I've collected three of the best gaming PC deals I've found so far from reputable and trustworthy brands.

Ah, Yeiyan Yumi; we see you so often in one form or another that you're like an old friend now. But for this combination of specs and price, it's our absolute top pick for a budget gaming PC.

Currently available on Newegg for $799, this little machine may not set your world on fire, but it has components that will absolutely give you a chance to dive into the wonderful world of modern PC gaming. The Ryzen 5 5600X is a previous generation maybe, but it still has plenty of performance for gaming and a bit of productivity.

But when it comes to proper gaming PC credentials, you need a decent GPU, and while the RTX 4060 is not our favorite graphics card, it can deliver excellent frame rates at 1080p and 1440p thanks to DLSS 3. 16GB of DDR4 and a 1TB SSD combine to give you a very well-rounded budget gaming system at this price.

If you're looking to get your feet wet in the world of PC gaming, or just want a fresh start with a budget machine, the Yeiyan Yumi is an absolute classic, and Yumi has proven it time and time again: the Yeiyan Yumi is the best value for money in the market, and the Yeiyan Yumi is a great value for money.

Now, how much would a great 16-core CPU cost, if not an Intel Core i5 13700F? [This ABS Cyclone Aqua not only has a CPU, but also 32 GB of fast DDR5-6000. Most machines in this price range have 16GB of RAM, but to be honest, I'm beginning to feel that this RAM is not enough if you do non-gaming tasks on the side. Especially for someone like me, who always has a lot of tabs open in the background, even while gaming, 32GB is much more reassuring.

Speaking of gaming, the RTX 4070 takes care of the graphics, and while not as much of a mid-range marvel as the RTX 4070 Super, we must remember that the RTX 4070 is still a great gaming GPU.

If I were to make a change here, the RAM, CPU, and GPU are adequate for the price, but 1TB is a bit small. Here's the thing, I'm also collecting Prime Day SSD deals.

Otherwise, applying promo code CYAQF47D5 will get you a mid- to upper-mid-range PC for $1,200. In my opinion, this is a genuine bargain, and very hard to beat right now.

And finally, here's a blockbuster. This Skytech King has a royal name and quite a pedigree when it comes to components. First, sitting under that water-cooled system is the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, the best gaming CPU money can buy today.

Thanks to 3D V-Cache, this chip can easily trump gaming tasks, and while Intel's chips may lose out on productivity, the 7800X3D is so committed to producing high frame rates that no other component can keep up The 7800X3D is committed to producing high frame rates, and no other component is unable to keep up.

Again, 32GB of DDR5 is installed, in this case rated at 5,200 MT/s. While not as fast as the ABS mentioned above, this will not be a concern in actual use. However, it is the GPU performance with the RTX 4070 Ti Super that will be of concern. The original RTX 4070 Ti remains a great gaming card, and this Super version brings about a 5-10% performance boost to a GPU that was originally very fast.

1 TB Gen 4 SSD, done. But despite the overall price increase, deals on SSDs are always being found; PC builders will have to cut their margins somewhere, but 1 TB is definitely enough to at least get started using them.

Sign up for Newegg+ (the free version, in case you were wondering) and apply promo code FTTPDUA5268, and this king machine is available at Newegg for $1,880.

RTX 4080 Super machines sell for a bit more, but here you get the best of the best in gaming CPUs and plenty of room to upgrade the GPU if your RTX 4070 Ti Super starts to age. Frankly, it should be a while yet.

Three gaming PCs from reputable builders; we'll be scouring every retailer, including Amazon and Newegg, to try to beat these products as the sale progresses, but for now, these are some of the best deals money can buy.
