Revamp Your Gaming Setup with Memorial Day Deals

I'm diving into Memorial Day shopping this weekend. Usually, I skip these sales, but with U.S. price uncertainties, now feels like the right time to buy. I've been eager to upgrade my gaming setup for years, and this moment seems critical.

Memorial Day sales kicked off last week, and I've been scouring Wayfair's deals for furniture. I'm hunting for a new office chair, desk, and bookcase for my games. Wayfair's site is user-friendly, making browsing a breeze. I've also checked IGN's top picks for gaming chairs and desks to explore other brands.

If you're planning to refresh your gaming or office space, here’s how to approach it.

Begin with Wayfair’s Sale

Wayfair Memorial Day Sale

While Amazon’s Memorial Day sale offers discounts on nearly everything, Wayfair excels in furniture deals. It’s a great starting point due to the volume of offers and easy-to-use filters for sorting by dimensions, material, color, or price. Even if you don’t buy, Wayfair helps clarify your needs. I’ve purchased bookshelves, rugs, lamps, and tables from them and recommend their standard furniture. However, for premium office chairs or gaming desks, you might need to look elsewhere.

Wayfair’s prices are solid for everyday furniture, but top-tier brands may be better sourced from other retailers.

Invest in a Quality Chair

When upgrading your setup, prioritize the chair. Mine’s falling apart, barely held together by an old pair of sweatpants. I’m splurging on a new one since it’ll serve for both work and gaming. I’m torn between a gaming or office chair, but IGN’s recommendation of the Secretlab Titan Evo has me intrigued, especially with Secretlab’s ongoing sale.

Shop Accessories on Amazon

Customizing your gaming setup is key—think RGB lights, mouse pads, laptop stands, headset holders, or Steam Deck docks. Amazon consistently offers the best prices on these. While Wayfair has quirky items like a Darth Vader cutout, Amazon’s my go-to for most accessories.

Amazon Memorial Day Sale

Though I’m not buying a TV, Amazon’s Memorial Day TV deals are impressive. The LG C4, perfect for console and PC gaming, hit a record-low price.

Boost Your Gaming PC Now

My gaming PC is outdated, and my budget’s tight, so I rely on my Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch for portability. A new PC with an RTX 5090 would be ideal, but with rising GPU prices and a potential Switch 2 purchase, it’s not feasible. However, Memorial Day is a prime time for PC and laptop deals. Start with Dell’s sale, but HP, Lenovo, and Best Buy also have strong offers. Here are the top sales I found.
