Time and again, we see prebuilt desktop deals that prove you don’t have to spend a fortune on a new build. Further proof comes by way of this CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme configuration, which pairs an Intel Core i7-9700F processor with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 graphics card. It’s on sale right now at the Microsoft Store for $899. This is basically a beefed up version of the Gamer Xtreme that we highlight as one of the best gaming PCs in the budget category. CyberPowerPC bundles in a gaming keyboa

It sounds weird but it’s actually really good—good enough to warrant inclusion in the first-ever Humble Bundle, all the way back in 2010. And more than 15 years after release, it’s also getting a new update. Gish is getting a 15 year ani. update (quality of life stuff and some bonus levels) next month. Whatever the case, it’s good news if you’ve been looking forward to someday actually seeing what Mew-genics is all about.

Right now, you can pick up one of a few select colors for $89 on Amazon. So, if you’re looking to up or simplify your streaming or podcasting game and want a no-fuss mic, the Blue Yeti could be an excellent option for you.

Conan Chop Chop was ‘announced’ on April 1 as a joke, but was then revealed to be a real game at 2019’s PC Gaming Show. A couple months later, it met the first and only criterion for being a real game: being delayed. Now we have a final, final release date: Chibi Conan and pals will start chopping their way through ghouls on February 25, 2020. Chop Chop is described as a “roguelite” by publisher Funcom, and as a “party game” for up to four players, with both online and local co-op support. I’ve

We noted when the Hearthstone expansion Descent of Dragons went live that it was widely considered one of the most overpowered sets to be released in years. Here’s Hearthstone data analytics site HSReplay.net with the numbers:(Image credit: HSReplay.net)As you can see, Shaman’s dominance is total. Of the nine classes, it accounts for 41% of all games played, and is the only class with a positive winrate. According to our resident card slinger Tim Clark, there is a strong case for calling Galakro

In a lengthy update posted yesterday to Steam, Killing Floor 2 studio Tripwire Interactive shared some of its plans for 2020, including more weapons, maps, and seasonal events. But the most interesting bit of news is that Tripwire will be working with World War Z developer Saber Interactive to create future features and content for the game. “Over the past year, we conducted an exhaustive search of development studios and Saber Interactive prove themselves to have the right technical and creativ

The tweet sparked a backlash among Chinese Arsenal fans, and Arsenal’s predictable effort to distance itself from its player—”As a football club, Arsenal has always adhered to the principle of not involving itself in politics”—failed to calm the outrage. Angry comments were posted, jerseys were burned, and China’s state broadcaster canceled a planned airing of a game between Arsenal and Manchester City. Now the backlash has also spread to videogames, as Ozil has reportedly been cut from PES 2020

The clips and trailers we’ve seen so far are promising, but we won’t know if Netflix has really, truly pulled it off until we see it for ourselves. All eight episodes of Season 1 are dropping at the same time, as Netflix does with its other shows. Refer to the guide below to know when The Witcher releases and will be ready to stream in your timezone. When exactly can I watch The Witcher on Netflix? Surprisingly, Netflix has already renewed The Witcher for another season, so it must be confident

Deals on GPUs aren’t an everyday occurrence but right now you can pick up a GeForce RTX 2060 for $380 at BestBuy—that’s a saving of $50. And while it may be a little extravagant as a stocking filler, if you’ve got the spare cash and you’re in the market for a new GPU, you can’t go wrong here. Since the release of the Super editions of the RTX 20-series family, the older cards have seen a bit of a drop in price. And while the improved performance of the Super range certainly makes them worth the

If you’re someone who splits their time between console and PC gaming, this 1080p monitor with 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time won’t steer you wrong. This MSI Optix 27-inch curved monitor is currently on sale for $199.99 today at Walmart, which is $109 less than its regular price of $300. It’s a good monitor if you’re working with a modest gaming PC that quite can’t hit 1440p. The MSI Optix is also FreeSync compatible, which means it can adjust its refresh rate to match your game’s fram

Fortnite has replaced its 14 Days of Fortnite event with Winterfest, but the important thing is that there are still challenges to complete and presents to unwrap, netting you plenty of freebies between now and January, including a nifty Millennium Falcon glider. To start opening presents, hop over to the Winterfest Lodge by clicking on the snowflake tab in the lobby. The presents inside are free for everyone, but what’s inside the boxes is up to you to figure out. The Millennium Falcon glider w

Probably not, but Puma’s hoping you’ll pay a premium for a pair of “gaming socks” nonetheless. “Created with console gamers in mind, the gaming sock is the first edition Active Gaming Footwear. I see no reason why a PC gamer couldn’t wear them as well, except for the lack of RGB lighting. But without RGB lighting, can we really even call these gaming socks? If you’re looking for an alternative to the gaming socks, though, I recommend these claw slippers for $12.97 from Walmart.

Adata is expanding its memory line with a new XPG Hunter DDR4 series, available for both desktop PCs (conventional DIMMs) and laptops (SO-DIMMs). The best DDR4 memory kits combine higher speeds with tighter timings, and maybe some RGB bling as a bonus. Otherwise known as binning, the “strict filtering process” Adata references is a common practice on high performance RAM. Here’s a look:8GB DDR4-2666—CL18-18-18, 1.2V8GB DDR4-3000—CL17-19-19, 1.2V16GB DDR4-2666—CL18-18-18, 1.2V16GB DDR4-3000—CL17-

If you’ve been getting by with a cheap keyboard, considering an upgrade, like Razer’s Ornata Chroma. This deal also plunges the Ornata Chroma into relatively affordable territory, as it applies to gaming planks. Razer Ornata Chroma Keyboard | Mecha-Membrane | $54.99 (save $25)This is a membrane keyboard, but Razer designed the keys to feel and sound like a mechanical deck. View DealThe Ornata Chroma is what Razer calls a “mecha-membrane” keyboard. It doesn’t offer any dedicated gaming keys, but

Fortnite’s 11.36 update is here, introducing a new customisable mode that will let you duke it out with 15 mates on your own private battle royale island. The Battle Lab is available now, along with a bunch of bug fixes. Battle Lab lets you create an island where you can pick from different LTM loot pools and put together your own mode by tweaking the gravity or playing around with other options. It’s a bit like Playground mode, though that was more of a sandboxy, creative diversion—hence why it

Ironsight is a free-to-play sci-fi military shooter set in a near-future that’s been devastated by natural disasters. It’s been in open beta since February 2018 at aeriagames.com, but today the beta will finally make the move to Steam. The update also adds a new weapon, the Type 89 Assault Rifle, and a FlyTrap drone that will shield players from incoming grenades. Ironsight is listed on Steam now and will go live later today. (The exact time hasn’t been set, but should be before 12 pm ET.)

You would think that today’s launch of Borderlands 3 on Stadia would be good news for all involved. But in an interesting twist that reminds us that Stadia builds are separately-optimized projects, 2K and Google put out an old version of the game that’s missing a pile of previously-released content and patches. “At launch, the Stadia version of the game will reflect all updates and fixes that were released through October 24,” 2K said in a press release. The first Borderlands 3 campaign add-on,

We’re in the final stretch of the holiday season, and hardware sales keep popping up—now you can get a wireless Logitech gaming keyboard for $55.99 from Amazon. That’s not a massive savings from the previous $60 cost, but it is the lowest price the keyboard has ever been. This keyboard uses Logitech’s proprietary ‘Lightspeed’ wireless technology, and should be free from the frequent connectivity issues you’d get from a typical Bluetooth keyboard. Other features include six programmable keys for

Just three more days until The Rise of Skywalker and then we never have to think about Star Wars again, right? A fool can hope, but he can also buy another Star Wars skin in Fortnite to tide him over, according to a new leak. Longtime Fortnite data miner HypeX on Twitter leaked the a Kylo Ren Fortnite skin back on December 14. Now that we’re a day or so removed from the Fortnite Star Wars event, the Rey, Finn, and Sith Trooper skins have disappeared, at least momentarily. It seems like Fortnite

(Image credit: Capcom)The minimum system requirements for Resident Evil 3 Remake are out, and the good news is that if you can run its predecessor, you can definitely run this too. The minimum specs are pretty much identical, though the recommended specs for the newer game are yet to be published. Resident Evil 3 Remake launches April 3, 2020, and comes bundled with Resident Evil Resistance, which is a forthcoming asymmetrical multiplayer take on the series (think Dead by Daylight, Friday the 13
