Samsung EVO Plus 512GB Micro SDXC Card for $34.43

Nintendo Switch Compatible

Samsung EVO Plus 512GB U3 A2 Micro SDXC Card

Amazon has the Samsung EVO Plus 512GB Micro SDXC card for only $34.43, making it the lowest price currently for a Micro SDXC card of that size. It boasts a U3 A2 speed rating, which is faster than most Micro SDXC cards, including the official Nintendo Switch ones. It doesn’t make any difference for the Nintendo Switch itself, since it will throttle any Micro SDXC card down to U1 speeds). However, it will be useful if you ever want to swap it down the road to your smartphone, GoPro, camera, or any device that supports the faster speeds.

Gamestop has preowned units of the Valve Index VR full kit for only $599.99. This kit sells for $999.99 new at Valve. It includes the VR headset, a pair of knuckles controllers, band two base stations. The Valve Index is still considered one of the best VR headsets out on the market. The headset is comfortable, the controllers are very accurate, and the 2880×1600 combined optics over up to 144Hz refresh rate and a 120-degree FOV. At $400 off retail price I think it’s worth it.

HP OMEN 40L RTX 4070 Gaming PC for $1379.99

HP OMEN 40L Intel Core i5-13400 RTX 4070 Gaming PC with 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD

HP is offering an HP OMEN 40L gaming PC equipped with a GeForce RTX 4070 GPU for only $1379.99 after a $520 off instant discount. You’ll have to follow the very simple step below to get this config.

The GeForce RTX 4070 matches the performance of the older RTX 3080 with additional features. That means the RTX 4070 can still easily hold its own in any game at 1080p and 1440p. This would be my GPU of choice for comfortable 1440p gaming. Because it’s a current gen 40 series card, the RTX 4070 also supports DLSS 3.0, which is DLSS 2.0 plus frame generation. For games that support DLSS 3.0 (like Diablo 4, Jedi Survivor, or Hogwarts Legacy) benefit from noticeably higher fps.

Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 8 RTX 4080 PC for $2157.59

Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 8 Intel Core i7-13700KF RTX 4080 Gaming PC with 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD

Lenovo is offering a new Legion 7i Gen 8 gaming PC with 13th gen Intel Core i7-13700KF Raptor Lake CPU, GeForce RTX 4080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 512GB SSD for only $2157.59. That’sabout $300 less than what we saw during the Memorial Day Sale. The RTX 4080 is a powerful card that’s capable of running any game out there at 60+fps in 4K. It’s about 50% more powerful than the RTX 3080 Ti. Check out our RTX 4080 review.

Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 8 RTX 4070 Ti PC for $1636.79

Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 8 AMD Ryzen 7 7700X RTX 4070 Ti Gaming PC with 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD

Lenovo is also offering a new Legion 5 Gen 8 gaming PC with the latest AMD Ryzen 7 7700X CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD for $1636.79. That’s $350 less expensive than the best RTX 4070 Ti gaming PC deal we saw during the Memorial Day Sale. The RTX 4070 Ti performs better than the RTX 3090 and has the benefit of DLSS 3.0. It’s good enough to run games in 4K although obviously not as comfortably as the 4080. It is an outstanding card for 1440p gaming.
