EOFY sales 2025: the next best opportunity to pick up cheap PC gaming gear

Save AU$496

If you're after something solid that will run games smoothly at 1080p, you can hardly go wrong with this MSI workhorse (though it does dress well in full RGB garb). It pairs a RTX 4060 GPU with a 144Hz, 1920 x 1080 display. While it is found elsewhere for around AU$1,499, and often sold for that on Amazon, this is still a solid deal.

Save AU$1,130

While still quite pricey after the discount, this nifty Gen 10 machine works hard to justify it: it boasts a Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti 12GB GPU and Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX U, with 1TB of storage and 64GB of 6400 MT/s RAM. It'll run whatever you throw at it, in other words, while looking good to boot on the 16-inch 2560 x 1600 OLED screen with a 240Hz refresh rate.

Save AU$800

A nice big chunk off the RRP of this mid-range gaming laptop. This one boasts an RTX 4060, an i5-14450HX, 32GB RAM, 1TB of SSD storage and a big 16.1 inch FHD display. Is that too big for 1080p? Some would argue it is, but this is still a decent price for the specs, and it'll run most things you can throw at it, albeit not at ultra settings in 4K.

This isn't the only Victus model on sale at the moment: check out the full range on the HP website.

Save AU$250

If you're a mid-ranger who prefers 1440p with a silky frame rate, this Samsung is a workhorse. This discounted AU$349 is a great price for a 32" display, though if you're after something smaller and under AU$300, the 27" version is also discounted, down to AU$299. Both displays come with 1ms response times, 165Hz refresh rates and AMD Freesync Pro.

Save AU$600

It may be difficult to stifle a laugh at how ridiculous this thing is to look at, but those concerns will likely fade away once you're gaming in front of this beast. It pulls out all stops, with a 240Hz refresh rate with a 0.03ms response time, which is going to verge noticeable on this ultrawide DQHD display. Look: it still ain't cheap, but if you want this much screen real estate and don't want to compromise on quality, now may be the time to bite on this.

Save AU$42.09

More than 50% off this workhorse rodent, dipping it well-and-truly into both "impulse buy" and "backup mouse" territory. This wired model boasts six buttons, a 8,500 I optical sensor and "3-zone" RGB, so even though this one is on the cheaper end of the spectrum, you can still make it shine in your fave colours.

Save AU$112.73

Let's face it: this thing looks kinda gross. Or... elite? It sure does have RGB emanating from the inside. Don't let my hang-ups get you down, though: our review was quite positive, praising its light weight, responsiveness and robust wireless connectivity.

Save AU$107.95

A big chunk of cash off the RRP of this Logitech rodent, which boasts five programmable buttons and an astonishing 95 hours battery life on a single charge. Boasts a 32K DPI sensor and up to 8 kHz polling. Also available in Black for AU$195.

Save AU$116

When you can't get enough bass, the next step is, of course, haptic bass. In other words, you're really going to feel these on your dome, and if you don't trust me, perhaps our review from 2020 will convince you. Of course, bass lovers need only apply, but if this is you, we also love the build quality of these cans, and the sound is pretty damn good as well.

Save AU$80

This discount doesn't compare amazingly to the AU$150 offer during last year's Black Friday, but it's still a generous 29% off. The Corsair HS80 Max Wireless Gaming Headset offers low-latency 2.4Ghz wireless audio and Bluetooth connectivity, along with high-fidelity 24bit/96kHz sound and for Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio. Now discounted by 46% in Steel Grey and White.

Save AU$60

This was down to AU$210 during Black Friday, so not an all-time low here, but a good price nevertheless. These cans boast a frankly-unbelievable (but true) 300 hours of battery life, DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio, and the Cloud series' now iconic tough-as-guts aluminum frame. Make note this is a deskbound headset: it uses 2.4Ghz wireless connectivity, but has no Bluetooth for on-the-go listening.

Save AU$2472.49

Considering the ticket price on this set of cans, I'm not surprised it's regularly discounted: mere mortals should sometimes be allowed to buy them. If you can afford it (and even discounted they're pricey) our review was very enthusiastic, noting its "impressive connectivity, fast charging, hot-swappable batteries and great adjustability". Needless to say its sound quality is bleeding edge as well. Not many people need a headset this expensive but if you're in the market, now's the time.

Save AU$58.70

Note that this isn't an all time low: it was down to AU$229 during Black Friday last year. Still, this beauty used to be our favourite drift-free hall effect gamepad before it was dethroned by the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro, so if you're in the market for one, this is a decent price. I still love this controller and use it daily, especially due to its super-tactile microswitches. The onboard display is more useful than you'd think, and while the RGB is a little superfluous, it feels extremely good in the hands. Read my 90 / 100 review if you're unconvinced.

Save AU$50

Not quite the AU$80 discount we got during Black Friday last year, but nevertheless a welcome discount on this slab. The RGB is typically stunning, and the build is very robust: you could use it to knock out an intruder. It features 8,000Hz hyper-polling, 4,000Hz key scanning, PBT Double-shot Pro keycaps and yeah: it looks great.

Save AU$79

If you want your keyboard to take up as little space as possible, this is a wireless 65 percenter with low profile optical switches. Small doesn't mean discreet though, so rest assured there's plenty of RGB on this thing. The ROG Falchion RX is the favourite low profile keyboard in our best gaming keyboard list, ticking just about every must-have box including great switches, a sturdy build, and plenty of connectivity options. This was down to AU$179 during Black Friday last year, so if you want the lowest price, maybe wait a spell.

Save AU$72

A mild but welcome 24% off this brilliant gaming keyboard, which won our Editor's Pick badge and a 93 / 100 score back in 2023. It boasts brilliant switch feel, effective sound dampening, a cleverly modular multimedia wheel, and an extremely robust build. It ain't cheap even on sale, and it's been as low as AU$199 in the past, but this is still a nice discount.

Save AU$94

Not quite as good a discount as Black Friday (it was down to a record AU$279 back then) but this is still a welcome price for a gorgeous 75% keyboard that's usually way too pricey. It has both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, amazing gasket mount keys, and an OLED display at the top right corner so that you don't always have to use Asus's (often annoying) desktop software. If you prefer the white model, that's going for AU$304.

Save AU$399

While this ergonomic chair isn't really marketed as a gaming chair, I use one for gaming and have done so for years. I even reviewed it back in 2023. It doesn't leave a great first impression, but the initial discomfort gives way to better posture.

Save AU$24.50

This 65W power bank is perfect for getting your Steam Deck back to life when you're on the go. The 20,000 mAh capacity also makes it a good option for phones and laptops, so it's a versatile affair that you likely won't regret having around. It's light, efficient, and well worth a purchase with this AU$24 discount.

Also consider the 100W, 25,000mAh Iniu B63 for $76.49.

Save AU$7.50

With Steam Deck now available in Australia, it's the time to start hunting for deals on all-important Steam Deck accessories. Among the most attractive peripherals is a dock, all the better to plug the handheld into a monitor or TV, and this one is a more entry level version of our favourite Steam Deck dock. Ports include HDMI 2.0, which s 4K at 60Hz, a 100Mbps ethernet port, two USB-A 2.0 ports and a USB-C with charging through. Probably all you'll need to start with.

Save AU$23

This is a great entry-level USB microphone for streaming, chatting, or recording yourself saying "hey now" like Hank Kingsley in The Larry Sanders Show. It has a lot of the nowadays-essential desktop mic features, including tap-to-mute and an LED indicator to show whether you're live or not. It's a super simple and effective device, but as a caveat: it was down to AU$66.28 last year, but this is only marginally more expensive.
