Crikey! Bargain Bonanza: Steam Deck Treats, Comfy Chairs, and a PC That'll Melt Your Eyeballs (Responsibly)

Rock Paper Shotgun found some great deals on Steam Deck accessories, prebuilt PCs, and Secretlab chairs, perfect for upgrading your gaming setup without breaking the bank (too much). It looks like it's a good time to treat yourself, even if your bank account might glare at you later.

Right, so Rock Paper Shotgun (cheers, Christian Wait!) unearthed a treasure trove of deals just ripe for the pickin' – and I reckon there's something here for everyone lookin' to spruce up their gaming setup. We're talkin' storage solutions, comfy places to park your posterior, and enough horsepower to run Crysis... probably.

First up, let's talk about expanding that Steam Deck's horizons. Those little microSD cards are absolute game-changers, letting you carry your entire library on the go. RPS spotted a PNY 1TB PRO Elite for a mere $69.99. That's 44% off, mate! If you're constantly deleting games to make room for the new hotness, this is a no-brainer. They reckon it's good for Android phones and cameras too, so if you are still using a camera, bonus!

Then there's Samsung, slingin' out their PRO Plus 1TB card for $89.99. A bit pricier, sure, but RPS raves about its blistering read/write speeds (180MB/s and 130MB/s respectively). Apparently, it's a whiz with drones and tablets. I'm always a bit skeptical of claimed speeds (marketing, eh?), but Samsung usually delivers the goods, fair dinkum. And don't forget about the Sonic The Hedgehog version! You can get the same performance but with more style, that's got to be worth a fiver, right?

If you don't need a full terabyte, the SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDXC 512GB is on sale for $56.35. RPS says it reads up to 200MB/s and comes with RescuePRO Deluxe for data recovery. A good option if you're prone to accidentally formatting things (guilty!).

Now, let's move onto the bigger toys. RPS also flagged a KTC 27-inch QHD monitor for a ridiculously low $134.99. QHD resolution and a 100Hz refresh rate at that price? Sounds almost too good to be true, but they say it even has FreeSync and G-Sync support. Might be worth a punt if you're on a seriously tight budget. I'd be doing some research into this, to be sure, mate.

And for those who want to skip the hassle of building their own rig, there's a Skytech Gaming PC with an Intel i7 and an RTX 4070 Ti going for $1,499.99. RPS calls it a "beast" and says it's ready for 4K gaming. Considering the price of a 4070 Ti alone, that's a pretty sweet deal. Plus, you get a free keyboard and mouse (though I'd probably upgrade those eventually).

Finally, no gaming setup is complete without a decent chair, and Secretlab is having a sale on their TITAN Evo series and MAGNUS desks. Prices range from $419 to $799 for the chairs, depending on the model and features. RPS seems particularly smitten with the lumbar support and magnetic head pillow. The MAGNUS desk, with its cable management wizardry, is also on sale for $568, if you're tired of looking at a rat's nest of wires. I know I am!

Of course, remember to do your own research before dropping your hard-earned cash. But these deals seem pretty decent on the surface, especially if you're looking to upgrade your Steam Deck storage or treat yourself to a new chair. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to measure my desk space...
