The MSI RTX 3080 video card for under $1000 is back in stock on Amazon. This was available for one day last week but it sold out within hours. The next cheapest priced RTX 3080 card on Amazon is closer to $1200. You can also save on an Xbox Series X bundle, which includes Halo Infinite and an Elite Series 2 controller, exclusively at Dell. Currently no other reputable vendor has the Xbox Series X in stock. In other deal news, pick up an HP Victus RTX 3060 Ti gaming PC for a mere $875, get 10% off a Nintendo eShop gift card, and score the best price we’ve seen on an LG C1 4K OLED TV.
Xbox Series X Bundle in Stock at Dell
Slightly discounted
Xbox Series X Bundle with Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller and Halo Infinite
The Xbox Series X is still hard to find at most places, and it’s rare to see it even in stock at Dell. Yes this is a bundle deal, but the extra accessories are quite good: get a bonus Xbox Elite Series 2 wireless controller and the Halo Infinite game. There’s even a bit of a discount. You’re essentially paying $500 for the console (normal price), $150 for the controller ($20 off), and $50 for the Halo Infinite game ($10 off).
MSI GeForce RTX 3080 GPU for Only $999
This is easily the best price we’ve seen for an RTX 3080 video card since launch. At this price point, the RTX 3080 is a better value than the 3080 Ti, which costs at least $300 more at reputable vendors. The performance gap between the 3080 and 3080 Ti is about 3%, hardly noticeable. The 3080 is significantly more powerful than the previous generation’s champ: the 2080 SUPER. This is the card you want to get if you plan to game at 4K or 1440p with very high framerates. Because other RTX 3080 cards are still selling for at least $1200, it’s very unlikely that this model will stay in stock for very long.
HP Victus RTX 3060 Ti Gaming PC for $875
Select RTX 3060 Ti
HP Victus AMD Ryzen 5 5600G RTX 3060 Ti Gaming PC with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD
This is far and away the lowest price we have ever seen for a prebuilt gaming PC equipped with an RTX 3060 Ti GPU. Once you hit the product page, you’ll have to select “RTX 3060” for $250 and a “500W Power Supply) for $50. You can buy the system as is, or you can choose to add a few more choice upgrades. You certainly have leeway with this super cheap price.
Apple Watch Series 7 and Apple Watch SE
The Series 7 is Apple’s latest and greatest watch. Today, both the 41mm and 45mm models are heavily discounted on Amazon (cheaper than Black Friday). The biggest upgrade the Series 7 has over the Series 6 is the display. It has the same always-on Retina display, but it’s 20% bigger and features a more crack-resistant front crystal screen. It also adds on even more health-related features, like measuring your blood oxygen or taking an ECG. If you don’t need the health related features, you can save $100 and go with the Apple Watch SE instead. Despite the low price tag, this watch is still big on features, such as a large Retina OLED display, 2x faster CPU than the Series 3, heart rate monitoring, GPS, swimproof design, haptic feedback, and more.

48″ and 55″ LG C1 4K OLED Smart Gaming TVs
Supports 4K @ 120Hz for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X gamers
This is the lowest price we’ve seen for both the 48″ and 55″ LG C1 OLED TVs. If money isn’t an object, OLED TVs are considered the best TVs you can buy right now. Compared to traditional LED LCD TVs, they offer better image quality, deeper blacks, better contrast ratio, wider color gamut, and super fast response times. They excel at both gaming and viewing 4K HDR content. In terms of general usability, they consume less power and they’re very thin and sit flusher against the wall. Amongst OLED TVs, the LG C1 is oft considered the flag bearer; it’s the one TV that all other OLED TVs are compared against. The LG OLED TV boasts several generations of optimizations under its belt and the latest C1 model is future proofed with technology like HDMI 2.1 (4K @ 120Hz), variable refresh rate, G-SYNC, the newest LG A9 Gen4 processor and a revamped webOS smart TV interface.

LG Ultragear 27GP750-B 1080p 1ms 240Hz G-SYNC IPS Gaming Monitor
This is the best price we’ve seen for the LG Ultragear GP750 27″ gaming monitor. The Ultrager GP750 caters to fps gamers who crave maximum frame rates. It boasts a 1080p resolution with a low 1ms response time, 240Hz refresh rate, and G-SYNC compatibility. Depending on the game, 240Hz at 1080p is achievable with an RTX 3060 Ti or RTX 3070. The IPS panel means that the Ultragear GP750 also doubles as a fine workstation monitor thanks to its wide viewing angles and accurate color reproduction.

Dell XPS RTX 3060, 3060 Ti, and 3070 Gaming PCs
Dell XPS Intel Core i7-11700 RTX 3060 Ti Gaming PC with 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD
Dell XPS Intel Core i7-11700 RTX 3060 Gaming PC with 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 1TB HDD
Dell XPS Intel Core i7-11700 RTX 3070 Gaming PC with 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 1TB HDD
Dell is offering deals on XPS gaming PC equipped with an 11th gen Intel Core i7 processor and your choice of RTX 3060, RTX 3060 Ti, and RTX 3070 video cards. The RTX 30 series video cards are getting a bit easier to find, but most vendors (including reputable ones like Amazon) are still charging for hundreds of dollars over MSRP. If you’re building out an entire new gaming PC, in most cases you’ll still save a lot of money going the prebuilt route, especially since Dell is offering an unbeatable price for a solidly built, warrantied gaming rig.
Apple AirPods 2 for $99.99
Pick up a pair of Apple AirPods 2 wireless earbuds for under $100. These AirPods include a charging case that you plug in via USB Type-C, not the “wireless” charger that supports Qi charging. The Apple AirPods 3 earbuds currently cost $170; the main upgrade is the MagSafe support, and that definitely isn’t worth the $70 price premium.
Cooler Master NR200P Max Mini ITX Computer Case
Cooler Master NR200P MAX SFF Small Form Factor Mini-ITX Case with Custom 280mm AIO, 850W SFX Gold PSU, Triple-Slot GPU, Premium PCIe Gen4 Riser, Tempered Glass or Vented Panel Option
The NR200P MAX, might command a hefty price, but it’s the highly rated NR200P on steroids. For starters, despite the diminutive SFF form factor, there’s a pre-installed 280mm AIO liquid cooling system that’s powerful enough to cool even the newest Alder Lake processors (LGA 1700 bracket included). It can also fit big cards like the RTX 3080. Unlike most other PC cases with vertically oriented GPUs, there’s ample clearance between the video card and the side panel for sufficient airflow for the GPU. A massive 850W SFX 80PLUS Gold PSU is also included with custom length cables designed specifically for this case.
This case has been out of stock most of the time and has been very hard to get ahold of. Today, though, it’s available on Amazon with fast delivery. I highly recommend this case; I currently use it myself with an Intel Core i7-12700K Alder Lake and RTX 3080 FE setup without any hiccups whatsoever.
