Best PC Gaming Deals For August 2020: Desktops, Laptops, Monitors, SSDs, And More

When you're into PC gaming, you can upgrade your tech whenever you want. New console generations tend to make their predecessors redundant pretty quickly, but if you play on PC, you can usually play the same games as everyone else on launch day, even after new graphics cards or processors are released--though you may have to sacrifice higher settings for an enjoyable experience. Thankfully, if you want to upgrade your gaming PC, there are plenty of deals out there for PC gaming hardware and accessories.

Of course, in addition to the internal components like graphics cards, processors, and RAM, there are a ton of PC accessories that get discounted all the time: keyboards, mice, headsets, and much more. Even though you can grab some of these products at a steal, they'll still last you a long time--and new hardware won't make them obsolete.

Another thing PCs have on consoles is the sheer number of game sales happening at any given time. Steam, the Epic Games Store, Green Man Gaming, Fanatical, GOG, and many more retailers are always offering deals on PC games, making it incredibly easy to never pay full price for any game you want.

To help you save some cash, we've collected the very best PC gaming deals available right now across the internet. From desktops to keyboards and mice, here are some of the best ways to save on PC hardware this month.
