Premium hardware often demands a premium price, but thankfully for the budget-conscious consumer inside all of us, some retailers and manufacturers have been known to discount some of their wears for a limited time. Below is a roundup of some of best discounts available across the web, whether you’re in need of a budged-based laptop, a burly graphics card, or something else entirely.

Asus GeForce GTX 970 ($275)
ASUS’ version of the GeFore GTX 970 is a beefy competitor when it comes to mid-tier graphics.

The card also comes with ASUS’ GPU Tweak Utility software, so you can manage the GPU’s performance in real-time. It provides a host of ports, including support for DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI 2.0, and HDCP. These are some impressive specs, but when you consider that Amazon’s current deal slashes $100 off the base price — $70 in instant savings and a $30 rebate — the card only becomes more attractive.

Newegg is now offering the card for just $400. That’s hard to beat, and it’s a particularly good deal given this card’s performance at 4K. Read our full review for more.
