One of the reasons that HP is one of our favorite places to buy a prebuilt gaming PC is because it is so easy to customize your order. While you can get started with the base $500 model (it has an AMD Radeon RX 6400 GPU and 8GB of RAM), you’ll probably want to update it. Think of this as $350 of savings off of components of your choice.

For prebuilt gaming desktops, a few companies are reliable and widely available. Dell's Alienware division produces solid if sometimes pricey PCs that have a fan following. Asus's Republic of Gamers line hits the midrange and high-end markets with good machines. Acer's Predator line is also good, and HP's Omen models have their adherents.

Four prebuilt gaming PCs are on sale, and they're bundled with extended warranties, free shipping, and a free video game.
