The second and final day of Amazon Prime Day 2021 is here and if you're looking to build a new PC, you're in luck. Currently, you can save up to 46% off select parts including both Intel and AMD processors, RAM, internal SSDs, cooling, and much more. Unfortunately, graphics cards are still sold out just about everywhere as cryptocurrency popularity has spiked again, and just about every high-end card has been scooped up with no return in sight. Regardless, everything else you need to get started on your next build is available and we've handpicked some of the best options for you below.
Best Prime Day PC Parts - Processors
This is the brain of your computer and one of the first decisions you're going to want to make as the motherboard you purchase must be compatible. The two brands you'll be looking at are Intel and AMD. Intel CPUs are tried-and-true and feature the best high-end processors on the market, while AMD processors recently become a popular choice with the PC building community due to their multitasking capabilities and competitive price points.
Best Prime Day PC Parts - Storage
If you're planning to use your PC for gaming or other multimedia, you'll likely want to seek out an SSD for storage. Nowadays, you've got traditional SATA SSDs that tend to be less expensive versus the blazing-fast M.2 NVMe storage options that offer faster read and write speeds. And, if you've picked up a PS5 (or plan to when they become more available), you'll be able to upgrade the internal storage with M.2 NVMe sticks, although Sony hasn't announced which models will be supported.
Best Prime Day PC Parts - Power and Cooling
With all these different PC parts picked out, you need something to power them. Power supplies are rated in terms of wattage, allowing you to connect more powerful components. Keeping your computer cool is also important to its overall lifespan, and having a good cooling system is extremely important. Besides including at least a few fans, it's worth investing in an all-in-one water cooling system. These take the hassle out of putting your own water cooling solution together while providing similar benefits.
Best Prime Day PC Parts - Cases
The style and size of your case is completely dependent on the type of build you want. Are you looking for a large, flashy build? Consider a full-size or mid-size ATX case. Looking for something more compact? Micro-ATX mini-towers are perfect for you. We've rounded up a handful of great-looking options to take advantage of during this limited-time sale.
Start a Free 30-Day Prime Membership
If you don't have Amazon Prime and are looking to take advantage of these Prime Day-exclusive deals you can start a free 30-day trial, get the deals, and cancel before your trial ends.
Those who have used the trial before can pick up a one-month membership for $12.99. You'll likely save more than the cost of the membership during Prime Day, anyways.
When Is Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day ends tonight (June 22nd) at 11:59 p.m. PT / June 23 at 2:59 a.m. ET, so make sure to get those last minute orders in!
