This could be bias on my behalf but so far the standout discounts this year are all PC related, there have been some great CPU and NVMe deals, and RAM is finally becoming semi-affordable again!
Amazon
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Desktop CPU £123.59
One of the best bangs for your buck in recent years. It has been superseded by the Ryzen 5 2600 but this will still be amazing in a budget build. Combine this with the SSD and RAM below and the GIGABYTE GA-AB350 you will have spent £280 then the RX 580 from yesterday costs just £178.79 giving you the main components for a great budget gaming PC for just £458!
Crucial P1 CT500P1SSD8 500 GB Solid State Drive NVMe £82.99 or £167.99 for 1TB
Even cheaper than the Samsung 970 deal that was available the other day, snap one up before these sell out.
Crucial MX500 250 GB Internal SSD £36.99
I may have committed to NVMe, but if you are on a budget you can’t complain about this price, just the right size for a boot drive. This would be ideal for a budget PC build or to upgrade a cheap mechanical drive in a laptop.
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB 2666 MHz £98.29
A tenner more than the Ballistix RAM deal but it runs faster. Looking at Keepa it is the cheapest price it has been since the end of 2016
Eve Memory Foam Mattresses King Size – £389.99
I am no longer a fan of memory foam mattresses as I am far too warm, but if you don’t get hot at night they are the best value mattresses you can buy and this Eve deal is a bargain.
Yale Sync Smart Home Alarm – £199.99
I am currently reviewing the Yale Sync Smart Home Alarm and it has the potential for it to be everything you want from a home alarm rather than just an irritating box on the side of your house.
It has all the same features as a normal alarm but it has an internet connected hub which then allows you to arm and disarm it via your mobile while also receiving alerts when the alarm goes off. For me, this is a great idea, I can go on holiday and will know if something has happened rather than the alarm just going off for hours annoying the neighbours.
