Today is the day to be an Amazon Prime member. The retailer is putting on a one-day-only sale to rival its Black Friday offering, and it's just for Prime members—pleasantly, though, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial and still take advantage of it. We received an early list of all the products that'll be on sale, and we've sorted through them to find the best deals for PC gamers.
The sale is happening all day today, July 15th, but the deals aren't all rolling out at the same time, so keep in mind that the products linked here won't necessarily be discounted when you're reading this. Amazon hasn't released the US prices yet, but we can expect pretty significant discounts, and we'll update this post when they're announced.
Systems
There are a few complete systems on sale, but most aren't suitable for any sort of serious gaming. If you're looking for a living room PC, though, Alienware's Alpha systems will be on sale in two models, as well as one of their hefty gaming laptops.
— Alienware Alpha ASM100-1580 Console (2.9 GHz Intel Core i3-4130T, 4GB DDR3, 500GB HDD, Windows 8)
— Alienware Alpha ASM100-4980 Console (3.0 GHz Intel Core i5-4590T, 8GB DDR3, 1TB HDD, Windows 8)
— Alienware 17 ANW17-7493SLV 17.3-Inch Gaming Laptop (2.5GHz Intel Core i7-4710HQ, 16 GB DDR3 RAM, 1 TB HDD, 128 GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M)
SSDs and HDDs
— Crucial MX100 256GB SATA 2.5-Inch Internal Solid State Drive
— Crucial MX100 512GB SATA 2.5-Inch 7mm Internal Solid State Drive
— Transcend Information 256 GB SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive
— Seagate 3TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive
Motherboards
We found two ASUS mobos in the great discount spreadsheet: the Asus Z87 PRO LGA 1150 and the pricier ASUS Maximus VI Extreme. Both have LGA1150 sockets for 4th Generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 processors.
Cases
We only found one case in the sale, the Corsair Obsidian Series 750D tower, but we'll keep our eyes out for more.
Mice
The are a couple Corsair mice on sale as well: the Corsair Gaming M65 and Vengeance M95 Performance MMO/RTS mice should both get a nice discount.
Routers
We've got two routers for you: the ASUS RT-N66W Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router and the Linksys WRT54GL Wi-Fi Wireless-G Broadband Router.
Displays
The are a whole bunch of displays on sale, and while none of them are our favorite gaming monitors, if you're looking for a second display, or just need to keep a low budget, the prices might be right. Aside from the ones listed below, there are also a few ViewSonics on sale, but not our favorite, the VX2263smhl-w 22-Inch—at the time of writing, though, it's discounted quite a bit anyway.
— Philips 272S4LPJCB 27" Monitor (2560x1440 @ 60 Hz)
— BenQ XL2420Z 24" LED-Lit Monitor (1920x1080 @ 144 Hz)

— Acer G277HL Abid 27" Monitor (1920x1080 @ 60 Hz)
