Check out the hot daily deals for today, including a powerful GeForce RTX 3090 GPU for only $870 at Woot, a Skytech RTX 3060 Ti gaming PC for under $1K on Amazon, and an Acer Nitro 5 15" RTX 3060 gaming laptop down to $599 at Walmart. These deals and more.

The RTX 3090 is one of the most power video cards you can get at the moment; if you wanted anything more powerful you'd have to pony up for an $1150 RTX 3090 Ti or the near impossible to find $1600 RTX 4090. Despite being one of the best gaming cards around, it's also an excellent choice for professional graphic artists, animators, modelers, software engineers, or data scientists who run render farms, intensive workstation applications like Maya or 3ds Max, or machine learning. The RTX 3090 comes with a massive 24GB of GDDRX RAM compared to the RTX 3080's "paltry" 10GB-12GB.

Amazon is offering this gaming PC for $996.99 after you clip the $300 coupon on the product page. This Skytech gaming PC comes equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7GHz 6-core processor, 16GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, and of course the RTX 3060 Ti video card. The RTX 3060 Ti is the best value among all of the RTX 30 series video cards. It's quite a powerful card, comparable to the previous generation's RTX 2080 SUPER, and yet it is also reasonably priced. It's more than enough to push 100+fps in any modern game at 1080p resolutions. It's also powerful enough to handle 1440p @ 60fps (and even 100+fps on less demanding games like League of Legends, Fortnite, or Minecraft).

Walmart is offering an Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H 6-core processor and GeForce RTX 3060 mobile graphics cards for a mere $599. That is easily the lowest price we've ever seen for an RTX 3060 equipped laptop. The RTX 3060 is no slouch; it's on par with the previous generation's RTX 2070 and laptops equipped with this GPU usually cost north of $1K. Get it while it lasts.

What better time to flaunt your Darth Vader cosplay than Halloween? Today Amazon is offering the Hasbro Star Wars The Black Series Darth Vader Premium Electronic Helmet for only $98.99. That's a 25% markdown from its original $132 MSRP and the first time we've seen this helmet priced under $100.

This officially licensed Darth Vader helmet was released in May of 2022 to coincide with the Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi season one debut. This is a full-sized replica that's designed to be worn. In addition to looking exactly right on the outside, the Darth Vader helmet features highly detailed interior as well. The neck piece, mask, and hood piece all connect magnetically, so you can inspect each section. It comes with a stand to make it easy to display. It also features the character's iconic breathing sound effects.

Today, Amazon is offering a 25% discount on the QuietComfort 45 active noise cancelling over-ear headphones, now only $249. The QC45 is the newest model in the Bose QuietComfort lineup. Upgrades include USB Type-C fast charging, a longer (up to 24-hour) battery life, better passive noise isolation, and a new "Aware" mode. Unlike the traditional "Silent Mode" which activates noise cancellation and suppresses ambient noise, "Aware Mode" does the opposite. The microphone picks up ambient noises and amplifies them so that you can listen in on the outside world without taking off your headphones.

If you haven't already invested in a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, you're missing out. Active noise cancelling is a miracle of science that works amazing well. The Bose QuietComfort 45 offers one of the best iterations of this technology, and it is very well worth the money spent. If you're looking to buy a noise cancelling headphone right now, and you're budget conscious, there's no better option than this.

Best Buy is offering the best deal right now on the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G smartphone. It's normally listed at $799 but Best Buy has it for $200 off. This is the newest top-end OnePlus flagship model and you'd be hard pressed to find a phone with more features and better build quality at the same or lower price point. Standout features include a massive 6.7" QHD+ AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor with 8GB of RAM, triple lens camera system with a primary 48MP Sony IMX sensor as well as a 50MP 150º ultra-wide sensor, and a 5,000mAh battery with up to 65W of fast charging over USB Type-C.

This is the lowest price we've seen for the 2022 LG Evo C2 65" OLED TV. The LG C2 is currently one of the best TVs on the market. Unlike other brands who have only recently started pushing out OLED TVs, LG has several generations of improvements over the years. The C2 is the newest model and, unlike the previous generation C1, features an "Evo" OLED panel that offers higher peak brightness (the one area that OLED TVs in general could improve upon) and thus even wider HDR range.

The Evo C2 is also a perfect gaming TV. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports and a native 120Hz panel that supports true 4K @ 120Hz passthrough when paired with a PS5, Xbox Series X, or RTX 30 series equipped PC. There's also variable refresh rate (VRR), which is this TV's version of adaptive sync technology, as well as auto low latency mode (ALLM), where the TV automatically switches to a lower latency when it detects gameplay. The LG C2 also supports HGiG, which is automatically calibrated tone mapping specific to your TV model.

This particular LG Ultragear monitor is one of the best 32" gaming monitors you can get. The 2560x1440 resolution is nice and sharp on the 32" display, yet it's low enough to allow mid-range cards like the RTX 3060 Ti or RTX 3070 to handle it beautifully, even at the maximum 165Hz refresh rate for many games. The Nano IPS display is LG's version of QLED, and it allows for better color handling and higher contrast ratio. It's also G-SYNC compatible, like any high-end gaming should be.

Amazon Store UK has the Nintendo Switch OLED for about $302 with free shipping. That's only $2 more than the original non-OLED Switch. The Nintendo Switch OLED features a larger, more vibrant OLED touchscreen display, an upgrade to the terrible OG kickstand, an ethernet port on the docking station, and an exclusive white Switch shell and matching Joy-Cons. If you have the budget to spring for this one, we definitely think it's worth the upgrade over the vanilla Switch.

Note that since this is shipped from Amazon Store UK and not Amazon, you'll be receiving the UK version of the Switch OLED. The Switch OLED is not region locked, so you'll be able to play US games without any hassle. However, you'll be receiving a UK plug. You'll need to get a UK to US plug adapter in order to charge your Switch here in the States.

Wingspan from Stonemeier Games is an incredibly good board game. So good in fact that we deemed it the best board game of 2019. Wingspan looks like a deceptively simple game; the endgame goal is to attract as many birds as you can to your wildlife preserve and help them proliferate. There are only four actions you can perform: draw a bird card, play a bird card, get food, and lay eggs. Sounds simple enough, right? Well let's just say these four actions mask an incredibly complex engine-building game with which you will have to juggle between bringing new birds into the fold and keeping your existing birds well stocked and in a breeding frenzy. Wingspan is infinitely replayable, and you'll find yourself developing and honing new strategies with every subsequent playthough.

This is the lowest price we've seen so far for a 1TB PS5-compatible SSD, and it even includes a heatspreader. The Adata Premium SSD boasts transfer speeds of up to 6,100MB/s, which is more than fast enough to surpass the PS5's recommended minimum speed threshold of 5,500MB/s. Yes there are faster SSDs out there, but if your intention is to put this in your PS5, then that extra speed is worthless because you're bottlenecked by the stock PS5 SSD. Better to save that money and put it to better use.

This Alienware m15 laptop is equipped with a 15" 1080p 1ms 360Hz IPS display, an upgraded AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX 8-core CPU, RTX 3070 GPU with a TGP rating of 125W, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD. This is the most powerful Alienware gaming laptop under $1500 right now. The RTX 3070 GPU is comparable to the previous generation's RTX 2080, so you'll have no problem running almost any game at 60+fps on the 1080p display.

This unique TV stand normally retails for $300 at Walmart, but today it's dropped down to $140. There's a lot going for it at the price, especially since you don't see this kind of TV stand very often. The stand measures just over 50" long and accomodates a TV up to 60". The most distinquishing featuree is the built-in electric fireplace insert that isn't just for show; it's warm enough to keep a 400 sq ft room nice and toasty.

Like the PS5, the Xbox Series X benefits from additional storage space that matches the speed of the internal SSD. Unlike the PS5, you can't just install any generic SSD, even the ones that are fast enough. You'll specifically need the Seagate storage expansion card. A 1TB drive normally costs $219.99, but today Amazon has it for $199.99.

You know the holiday season is near when the new LEGO Advent Calendars come out to play. The 2022 LEGO Advent Calendars went up for sale in late September, and today Walmart is taking an extra 20% off the new 2022 Star Wars, Marvel (Guardians of the Galaxy), and Harry Potter editions. Each set comes with 24 minifigures, one for each day leading up to Christmas. That way you'll have fun assembling a little kit each and every day instead of waiting it out for a singular moment.

The Razer Viper Ultimate mouse is all about weight, or the lack therof. It'd designed for gamers who want the lightest wireless gaming mouse possible. Wireless mouse are typically much heavier than their wired counterparts because they are laden with rechargeable batteries. The Viper Ultimate bucks the trend by weighin in at a mere 74 grams. That's lighter than almost every other wireless mouse on the market. It's also only 5 grams heavier than the wired model and that's with its battery pack installed.
