The best Amazon Prime Day deals vs worst Prime Day duds

pcgamer.com:

Ah, the joy of deals. Hopefully, we've all experienced the exciting frisson of finding something we actually want in the sales. After all, there are plenty of Prime Day PC gaming deals(opens in new tab) out there right now. And if you haven't yet partaken of some retail therapy, don't worry, there's plenty of time left to secure a decent deal—whether you're looking at a new graphics card, a whole PC, or a new gaming monitor to show off what your machine is really capable of.

It's a decent version of Nvidia's mainstream GPU, with good cooling and a dual-slot design.

EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 | 12GB GDDR6 | 2,176 shaders | 1680MHz Boost | $419.99$359.95 at Amazon (save $60.04)(opens in new tab)This is not a deal, and definitely not something you should consider buying. It's here to demonstrate that there are some awful deals out there. The RTX 2060
