If you’re in the market for a new PC build this Prime Day, doing all the legwork to find great parts that are on sale, in stock, and compatible is tough work. We’ve done the hard stuff for you and compiled a PC (mostly) built using parts on sale at Amazon Prime Day. The result? A $1,600-ish build (including a Radeon RX 9070 or RTX 5070) that won’t break the bank but should give you excellent 1440p performance.
Of course, there’s no pleasing everyone with a PC build, so take this as a guideline. We built around the still-spectacular Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, but there are Intel processor deals to be had out there, too. You can tone down (or up) the motherboard, add a beefier SSD, or choose a slightly less jazzy cooler in the name of savings if you choose. With that being said, here’s the rundown of our parts and the build.

This build represents our take on a “sweet-spot” PC that will deliver smooth gaming at 1440p without straining your wallet. You can add a larger SSD, higher-capacity RAM kit, or even a more powerful GPU to really power up this parts list, but it’s great as-is, too. Grab a high-refresh-rate monitor from our best monitor deals list to complete your setup.
