Shopping for bargains? Try these stores
Last updated: March 1.
A couple of times a week, we trawl through the deepest, darkest corners of the world wide web in order to unearth some of the best PC gaming deals in Australia. This story will largely focus on highlighting PC hardware and peripherals discounts, but if there are any appealing AU-exclusive games bargains, we'll include them too.
Without further ado, here's our current selection of deals — as always, if you spot anything else good, let us know in the comments section below. This round-up will be updated weekly... or just whenever there's an especially good bargain to be had. As bargains expire, we'll remove them from the page.
For a wide range of deals, as well as live price comparisons, check out our sister site Getprice.
Cheap gaming PCs in Australia
New Alienware M15 R4 | i7-10870H | RTX 3070 | 32GB RAM | 1TB SSD - AU$3,824 (usually AU$4,499)
This is the first time we've seen this 3070-wielding M15 discounted from its rather prohibitive RRP. In addition to the specs above it features eye tracking, and a 1080p display with a 300Hz refresh rate. Via Dell.View Deal
Alienware Aurora gaming desktop | i9-10900KF | RTX 3080 | 32GB RAM | 1TB SSD - AU$5,480.43 (usually AU$7,199)
It may be pricier than building your own, but if you like the cut of the Aurora's jib this is very well specced and will work straight out of the box. AU$1,719 off the usual price is definitely very tempting. Via Dell.View Deal
Razer Blade 15 Advanced | i7-10875H | RTX 2070 Super | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | AU$2,999 (usually AU$4,899)
A very good deal on this extremely well-endowed Blade: in addition to the specs above you're getting a 300Hz refresh rate on that screen, and all the usual RGB adornments. This is a very classy device and a steal at this price. Via Microsoft.View Deal
HP Omen 15 | i7-9750H | RTX 2080 | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | AU$2,999 (usually AU$3,799)
Microsoft is flogging a bunch of high-spec laptops at the moment and this is among the best. Comes with a full HD LED display, "advanced cooling" and a fancy-as-always form factor. Via Microsoft.View Deal
Razer Blade 15 | i7-10750H | RTX 2070 | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD - AU$2,299 (usually AU$3,599)
This is a bloody good price for one of Razer's very classy (and very versatile) Blade laptops. These excel at doubling as work laptops, while secretly harbouring the grunt to run games at high settings. Via Mwave.View Deal
Alienware M17 R3 | i7-10750H | RTX 2070 Super | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD - AU$2,924 (usually AU$4,499)
This model has been on sale at various prices over the past few weeks but this is a good price. In addition to the above specs, boasts a 17.3 inch 1080p monitor with a 144Hz refresh rate and G-Sync. There's also a higher-specced version of the M17 R3 going, with an RTX 2080 Super, 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD for AU$4,159 (usually AU$6,399). Via Dell.View Deal
Cheap gaming monitors in Australia
Alienware 25 AW2521H | AU$839.30 (usually AU$1,199)
A nice AU$359.70 off this 25 inch 1080p gaming monitor with a refresh rate that hits 360Hz at its highest end (240Hz if you're using HDMI instead of DisplayPort). Features FreeSync and G-Sync and a Fast IPS panel. Via Dell.View Deal
Alienware 38 curved | AU$1,686.73 (usually AU$2,249)
Save AU$562.25 on this bent 38 inch gaming monitor. Features G-Sync and a 3840x1600 resolution, and a 144Hz refresh rate on DisplayPort (85Hz with HDMI). You're coming here for size and HDR. Via Dell.View Deal
Acer XZ272P curved gaming monitor | AU$329 (usually AU$479)
If you want a screen with a bend in it, this 1080p monitor could do the trick, and a 165Hz refresh rate is pretty good at this reduced price. Boasts FreeSync tech and HDR 400. Via Scorptec.View Deal
Gigabyte G27QC 27 inch | AU$399 (usually AU$499)
A 27 inch QHD monitor with 165Hz was a bit of a steal when it was AU$379 last week, but this slightly higher (but still AU$100 off RRP) price is still ok, though it depends whether you're into the whole curved thing or not. Via Scorptec.View Deal
Cheap gaming headsets in Australia
SteelSeries Arctis 1 wireless | AU$148.56 (usually AU$199)
This wireless 4-in-1 wireless gaming headset is "4-in-1" because it comes with a USB-C dongle that adds compatibility with consoles. If you have, say, a Nintendo Switch and want one headset for both, this is worth investigation. Usually goes for around AU$175 in Australia. Via Amazon.
Cheap gaming keyboards in Australia
SteelSeries Apex 5 Hybrid | AU$147 (usually ~AU$180)
Some retailers sell this for up to AU$229, but usually it can be had for around AU$170. So this current Amazon price is good if you're in the market for this model, which boasts hybrid mechanical switches, an OLED smart display and the usual smattering of fancy shiny colours. Via Amazon.View Deal
Razer BlackWidow Chroma | AU$157.53 (usually AU$219.95)
The price on this green switch mechanical keyboard generally hits between AU$170 and AU$200 in Australia, so this current Amazon deal is quite good, albeit a bit priceier than it was a week ago (AU$120). It has an advertised 80 million keystroke lifespan and all the colours you could possibly want, unless 16.8 million isn't enough for you. Via Amazon.View Deal
Cheap gaming mice in Australia
Razer Naga Trinity | AU$139 (usually AU$169.95)
If you need a gaming mouse with a crapload of buttons, the Naga Trinity is probably already on your radar. There are up to 19 programmable buttons and interchangeable side panels, so you can choose whether to go button mad or not, depending on what you're playing. Via Amazon.View Deal
