Because we all look to our tech and gear to provide us with versatility and quality, there really is no better approach then to go for gaming tech when you need an upgrade - and Best Buy's PC gaming sale is the perfect opportunity to do so. In fact, tech with a gaming edge will probably serve you better, particularly in terms of durability and versatility. So, with a quick rummage through this sale, you can pick up fine kit right now.

We've picked out some solid gear, all nicely discounted, that will provide an excellent working from home setup - all with a gaming edge. Offering the benefits of a gaming-first approach, you'll benefit from features such as clear and crisp headsets with quality microphones, comfortable and feature-filled keyboards, and smooth, ergonomic mice. Sounds perfect for work as well as play, to us.

Starting off with two cheap gaming laptop deals under $1000, the below items will have you well kitted out for the foreseeable future. The Acer Nitro 5 laptop is a lightweight gaming machine but still holds a good amount of pedigree and genuine capability but manages to come in at a very respectable $779.99 price tag (which is great for something you can genuinely play games on and work with too). Although if you want something a little beefier then you can save a massive $300 on this ASUS laptop that has all the makings of a quality laptop outside the big boys. And never, ever neglect the peripherals: the below headset, keyboard and mouse are some great items from excellent brands, at prices that won't break the bank. What's more, they offer great value for money.

This is a good deal for a laptop that's not a ray-tracing, RTX-packed machine. It's a real solid set of components, with the 1660Ti being supremely competent with modern games. The $300 saving cements this being a great deal.

And if you're after some smaller items to compliment your new laptop, or to add to your existing setup, then there are some fine discounts on gaming peripherals. We've picked out a handful here to set you off, starting with one of our absolute favorite headsets.
