The Best Deals Today: My MAINGEAR RUSH PC, Glorious Gaming Gear, and Samsung OLED Monitors

I use this exact PC every day, and I wouldn’t game on anything else. It runs quietly, handles everything I throw at it, and looks incredible on my desk. I picked the Night Drive Artist Series because I wanted a rig that felt personal and custom, and MAINGEAR absolutely delivered. It’s built around AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D and the Radeon RX 9070 XT, which means I can max out any game at 4K and still get smooth performance. These aren’t just top-tier parts. They’re installed and tuned with care.

When I first unboxed it, I could tell this wasn’t just another prebuilt. The case design has a glossy finish that looks better than any other chassis I’ve owned. Inside, every wire is routed cleanly, and the ten RGB fans keep airflow strong and temperatures cool. I didn’t need to touch a thing before diving into my game library. No bloatware, no setup headaches. Just clean performance from the start.

I think what really sets MAINGEAR apart is the BIOS tuning they do before shipping. I’ve built my own rigs before, and I know how easy it is to leave performance on the table when settings aren’t dialed in. This PC came fully optimized. RAM was running at full speed, fan curves were smart, and the GPU boost settings were already perfect. I felt like someone had built it specifically for the way I game.

Customer support matters to me, especially with a high-end purchase. When I had a small issue with an older build’s RGB sync, they walked me through a fix without any hassle. They even followed up later to make sure it was resolved. That kind of service makes me want to keep buying from them.

This system is also ready for the future. I can upgrade the GPU or add more storage without dealing with proprietary hardware. If I wanted to send it back for an upgrade, MAINGEAR would handle that too. It’s a system built to grow with me, not something I’ll need to replace in two years.

In my opinion, if you care about gaming performance, reliability, and build quality, this PC is worth every dollar. I use it daily for gaming and work, and I have no plans to switch to anything else.

This monitor caught my attention because it offers something I haven’t seen before. The G90XF takes your standard 4K 165Hz gaming monitor and adds AI-powered 3D effects. I think that’s a cool way to breathe new life into games I’ve already played. You also get a 300 dollar Amazon Gift Card when you buy the right bundle, which makes this an even better deal.

The screen itself has a 1ms response time and FreeSync support, so games stay smooth and responsive. Built-in dual speakers and edge lighting help add to the immersive feel, and the Reality Hub feature makes it easy to jump into supported 3D games.

If you want to try something different with your display setup and still want top-tier specs, this is a solid option. I think it would pair well with a high-end PC like MAINGEAR.

If you’re writing your own game scripts or planning a novel, this Humble Bundle is packed with helpful tools. It includes guides like Plot Whisperer, Grammar Sucks, and Write Like Hemingway. I’ve used similar titles for game writing and storyboarding, and they’ve helped me stay focused and organized.

You get all 44 titles in DRM-free formats like PDF and ePUB, and you can use them on your phone, tablet, or desktop. Buying this bundle also supports Worldreader, a nonprofit focused on literacy.

For the price, I think it’s one of the best digital resource bundles out there. It’s great for gamers who want to improve their writing or storytellers looking to sharpen their skills.

I’ve tried ultrawide monitors before, but this 57-inch Mini LED display takes it to another level. It runs at DUHD resolution, which means 7680 by 2160 pixels, and has a 120Hz refresh rate with a 1ms response time. That’s exactly what I want for smooth gaming without sacrificing detail.

The curved design keeps everything in view, and the wide 32 to 9 aspect ratio is great for open-world games or multitasking. It also supports HDR1000 and has a KVM switch, so you can use it across multiple systems without constantly swapping cables.

If your desk can handle the size, this is a dream monitor. I’d love to pair this with my MAINGEAR build for single-screen immersion that still lets me keep Discord, OBS, and Steam open on the sides.

I think this Ellie statue captures the character perfectly. It’s a detailed resin bust that stands about 7.5 inches tall, showing her in full survival mode with a handgun drawn. It’s made by Dark Horse with input from Naughty Dog, and the quality shows. The sculpt is clean, the paint is sharp, and the expression feels true to the character.

If you’re like me and enjoy collecting gaming memorabilia, this is one to preorder early. It comes with a certificate of authenticity and will ship in August. I like that it’s not overly large, so it fits easily on a desk or shelf next to your gaming setup.

This is one of those collectibles that feels personal. If you’ve spent time in that world with Ellie, having this on display adds something special to your setup.

I’ve been eyeing the OLED G9 for a while, and this price drop makes it a serious deal. For gaming, this monitor has everything I want. It’s huge at 49 inches and has a 32 to 9 aspect ratio that wraps around my field of view. The Dual QHD resolution makes games look sharp, and the OLED panel brings out every detail with deep blacks and vibrant color.

What makes this great for gaming is the combination of a 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time. I’ve played on high refresh rate monitors before, but this one takes smoothness to another level. It makes a real difference in fast-paced games like Apex Legends or Call of Duty. Input feels instant, and motion stays crisp even in intense firefights.

Glare-Free tech is another reason I’d recommend it. I play in a bright room, and reflections usually ruin the experience on glossy screens. With this monitor, I can stay locked in no matter the lighting. At 500 dollars off, I think it’s one of the best display upgrades for serious PC gamers right now.

D 2 Wireless has been my go-to mouse for a while now. It’s lightweight at just 66 grams, which helps me stay fast and precise in games like Valorant and Apex. The shape fits my hand perfectly and doesn’t cause fatigue, even during long sessions.

The sensor is spot-on. It tracks every movement accurately, and the wireless connection has never lagged or dropped out on me. I switch between Bluetooth and 2.4GHz depending on what I’m doing. When I’m playing, it’s on 2.4 for the fastest response. When I’m working, I use Bluetooth to save battery.

I wouldn’t use anything else right now. It gives me the performance I need without costing a fortune, and it pairs perfectly with the GMMK 3 Pro on my desk.

This is the keyboard I use every single day. From gaming to editing and writing, it’s the one I trust. I went with the GMMK 3 Pro HE because of the Hall Effect switches. They let me adjust actuation sensitivity so I can set my preferred trigger point per key. That’s been a game-changer for FPS games where fast reactions matter.

It’s also wireless with a solid 2.4GHz connection that’s never given me issues. The aluminum frame feels strong and stable on my desk, and the 75 percent layout saves space without removing any of the keys I actually use. I also like that I can swap out the switches if I ever want to change the feel.

I’ve used a lot of gaming keyboards, but this is the one I keep coming back to. It’s fast, reliable, and comfortable, and I honestly think it’s one of the best gaming investments I’ve made.

This is one of those sets where I blinked and it was sold out the first time. I’m glad it’s back and actually on sale. You get a shiny Charizard ex, Charmander and Charmeleon promos, a display figure, and ten booster packs. That’s a solid value for under 50 bucks.

In my opinion, this is the kind of product that works for both collectors and anyone trying to build out a fire-heavy deck. The packaging alone makes it feel like a gift, even if you’re just giving it to your future self. You get the following packs:

- Stellar Crown

- Twilight Masquerade

- Paradox Rift

- Temporal Forces

- Obsidian Flames

I want this just to display it. This controller has matte green armor, silver spikes, a sinister red thumbstick, and buttons labeled in the Sentinel alphabet. I’m convinced it could survive a drop from orbit.

It’s still a standard Xbox and Bluetooth controller underneath all the theatrics, so it’ll work across consoles, PC, and cloud. I think it’s the best kind of extra. Completely over-the-top, but still totally usable.

I don’t even play vinyl and I still want this sitting on my shelf. The music from Last of Us is unforgettable, and this set leans all the way into the emotion. It includes four colored records, a slipcase that looks like it’s been through some stuff, and two beautiful lithographs.

Gustavo Santaolalla’s soundtrack is about as iconic as game music gets. In my opinion, if you felt anything during that main theme, you’re going to want this in your collection.

I think this box is for anyone who loves both strategy and structure. It comes with nine booster packs, a full-art promo of N’s Zorua, a mountain of energy cards, dice, sleeves, and even a collector’s box with dividers. It’s basically a starter kit for organized chaos.

It’s not the cheapest trainer box out there, but the amount of content here definitely gives it an edge if you're all in on the Scarlet & Violet era.

This bundle is a steal. For fourteen bucks, you’re getting eight quality indie games, and at least three of them could easily stand on their own. I picked it up for Gato Roboto, which is exactly what it sounds like: a cat in a mech suit.

In my opinion, this is ideal for anyone who wants games that actually let you explore and experiment. The titles are highly rated, weird in the best way, and don’t take up 80 gigs of storage. It’s refreshing.

Alright, I’ll be honest. This one’s a bit of a wildcard. You get one booster pack, randomly selected, and that's it. The listing makes it clear you don’t get to pick the pack art or contents.

I wouldn’t build a collection around this, but if you need to nudge your cart over the free shipping threshold or just like rolling the dice, this might do the trick.

This bundle skips the extras and gets right to the point: six booster packs from the latest expansion. If you're just here for the cards and not the fluff, this is a clean, solid option.

I like using these as a supplement to the bigger trainer boxes, or as a low-effort gift for a Pokémon fan who definitely already has more cards than they need.

This bundle brings back the original 151 Pokémon with modern mechanics and new artwork, making it a highly sought-after product among longtime fans and collectors. It’s marketed as a great way to access the set without buying a full booster display box, and it consistently sells out quickly. Still, at nearly twice the standard retail price, it’s worth thinking twice unless you’ve had trouble finding it elsewhere.

Currently the number one best-seller in collectible booster packs on Amazon, Surging Sparks includes over 250 cards, new Pokémon ex, ACE SPEC cards, and more than 50 cards featuring special illustrations. With solid pull potential and a modest price point, it’s an easy recommendation for casual players and serious collectors. Each pack contains 10 cards and is eligible for fast, free Prime shipping.

Available now for pre-order, this officially licensed Joel bust from Dark Horse and Naughty Dog stands 8.5 inches tall, reaching 11 inches at the top of the hatchet. The statue features detailed texturing on Joel’s flannel, backpack, and face, all set on a battle-worn concrete base with moss and bullet holes. It includes a certificate of authenticity and is scheduled to ship in August 2025. Ideal for collectors and fans of The Last of Us looking to lock in a centerpiece item.

This newly released tin includes five booster packs and one random foil promo card featuring either Kyogre ex, Xerneas ex, or Dialga ex. Inside, you’ll find a mix of packs from recent expansions including Surging Sparks, Temporal Forces, Stellar Crown, and Obsidian Flames. It’s a solid mid-tier pickup for anyone looking to expand their collection with newer sets in one convenient package.

This bundle features seven well-reviewed indie RPGs including Disco Elysium, Citizen Sleeper, Broken Roads, Roadwarden, and both Pillars of Eternity games. With ratings as high as 94 percent positive on Steam, the value here is undeniable for turn-based and narrative RPG fans. Plus, 15 percent off Citizen Sleeper 2 is included as a bonus coupon. The deal supports Care.org and is available for the next 15 hours only.

Marked down from $15.99, this pack is part of the Scarlet and Violet expansion and comes in assorted packaging. Each blister contains 10 cards, with a chance to pull some of the newer generation cards and artwork styles. While the pack style you receive is random, this is a good opportunity to sample the set at a much lower price than usual.

This is the first time I’ve seen the ETB for a reasonable price without having to buy it from someone’s backseat eBay hustle. Nine booster packs, full-art N’s Zorua promo, card sleeves, energy, dice, the works. I’ve seen this box selling for $90+ since launch, so $70.31 from Amazon is genuinely solid. Lillie’s Clefairy ex is still floating around $180 and N’s Zoroark ex has dropped to $13, which tells me the hype has deflated and we’re in “buy because it’s fun” territory again. I like it here.

This is the low-frills version for people who just want to open packs without pretending they’re going to organize their collection. Six Journey Together boosters and none of the ETB fluff. Honestly, this is how I like to test a set when prices cool off. You still have a shot at cards like Salamence ex SIR, which tanked from $250 to around $106, or a sub-$20 N’s Reshiram. Even if you pull nothing, at least you didn’t overpay trying to win the cardboard lottery.

I threw one of these in my cart last week just to hit the free shipping minimum. One pack, random art, decent discount. There’s no reason to expect anything big, but the price is finally low enough that I don’t feel bad if I just pull a Furret. And if you happen to land something like Articuno’s Illustration Rare (now $18.69) or Wailord (around $14.55), it’s a nice win from a $10 impulse buy.

I don’t know how many people wake up wanting ten train simulator add-ons, but if you’re one of them, today is your day. For $15, you get Train Sim World 5’s Starter Pack plus nine routes and loco add-ons. Antelope Valley, Cajon Pass, Thameslink, Santa Fe F7—the whole diesel buffet. It’s Steam keys, it supports CALM, and the value is so off the rails (pun fully intended) that I bought it just to mess around with the Railpool BR193 Vectron. Don’t judge me.

This is one of those “tech that doesn’t make sense until you try it” products. It’s a smart LED floor lamp with AI-generated lighting modes, music sync, voice control, app scheduling, and a vibe for every mood. It’s absurdly bright at 2300 lumens, and it looks clean in any corner setup. The AI stuff isn’t just fluff either. Say “I want relaxing light” and it’ll give you ten preset scenes. I think it’s great if you want one light to do everything without fiddling with settings for half an hour.

These are the same AI bulbs as the ones in the floor lamp, but in classic 75W-equivalent LED form. They’re bright, colorful, and weirdly helpful if you’re too tired to fine-tune your lighting manually. The music sync is fun, the AI scenes work well, and the voice commands actually feel smart instead of gimmicky. I bought a set of these last month and haven’t touched the wall switch since. At $8 per bulb, it’s kind of a no-brainer.

I picked up Surging Sparks because six booster packs under $50 is lower than what Amazon has been charging recently (It's still above MSRP though) Honestly, I wanted something new to crack open. It’s part of the latest Scarlet & Violet expansion, so if you’re trying to keep up with current sets or just enjoy the chaos of pulling a good card, this one’s a smart grab.

This one’s for the collectors who care as much about presentation as they do the pulls. Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection comes with six packs, a full-art promo, and a display sheet that’s more elaborate than it needs to be — in a good way. It's also a cool way to snag Journey Together packs with a fantastic promo card.

I think anyone who's replayed Mass Effect more than once knows exactly why these statues are tempting. I pre-ordered Jack immediately because, well, it felt necessary. The line includes Shepard, Tali, Legion, and others, and they look good enough that I’ve already made space for them on the shelf. If you're still quoting Garrus unironically, these are for you.

Paldean Fates is priced a double MSRP, but it's also very hard to come by in 2025. I grabbed it because the baby shiny sub-set is awesome, but if you just want to grab the single cards from this set, it might actually save you money.

This bundle has some of the better narrative indies from the last few years. I paid the $12, added the games to my backlog like I always do, and immediately booted up The Pale Beyond. It’s a strong lineup if you like character-driven games and don’t mind occasionally being emotionally wrecked by minimalist storytelling.

I think of this one as the all-in-one box for when you want cards and a bunch of gear you probably won’t use but still want around. Nine booster packs, a promo, sleeves, dice, and enough extras to make you feel like you’re doing more than just opening packs. It’s a solid option if you like having a little structure with your chaos.

I hesitated on this one, then immediately remembered it includes 18 booster packs and a playmat. It’s definitely a big spend, but if you’ve been waiting for a premium bundle that actually justifies the price, this checks out. I picked it up more for the experience than the individual cards, and that’s the right way to approach it.

I grabbed Shining Fates Pikachu V mostly because I never actually opened it when it first dropped, and now seemed like a good excuse. Four booster packs, a Pikachu promo, and the oversized card that ends up somewhere near your desk — standard stuff, but still a nice throwback if you missed it the first time around.
