Razer Blade 15 Laptop

Razer makes some of the best gaming laptops in the business. And with this year's Razer Blade update, the company's flagship creation has gotten even better.

　　Buy it from Amazon_____________________

　　

MSI GS65 Stealth Thin Laptop

Another fantastic option is this gaming laptop from MSI, which looks less flashy than many others on the market--which the PC player in your life might consider a pro or a con depending on their disposition. But don't let the looks deceive you, because this machine packs plenty of power.

　　Buy it from Amazon_____________________

　　

Acer Predator Laptop

True to its name, the Acer Predator is a beast. Not only does it pack a hefty GPU (and powerful fans to keep it cool), but it looks downright menacing with its aggressively angular design. It's not for everyone, but you'll know if it's your style.

　　Buy it from Amazon_____________________

　　

Origin Chronos Desktop PC

For gamers on the lookout for a new desktop PC, the Origin Chronos is a solid choice. It's VR-ready, it comes in a compact case, and it's built with versatility in mind, so you can choose to stand it up or lay it on its side.

　　Buy it from Origin_____________________

　　

Corsair One Pro Desktop PC

Don't let the relatively small size of this machine fool you. It packs a punch just as powerful as many of its much larger competitors. And thanks to its custom GPU and CPU liquid cooling system, it runs quietly as well.

　　Buy it from Amazon_____________________

　　

Alienware Alpha Desktop PC

Perhaps you don't want to drop upwards of a thousand bucks on a gaming PC. For a fraction of the price, you can get an Alienware Alpha desktop PC that's roughly as powerful as a PS4 or Xbox One. The only difference? It runs a whole lot of PC games that aren't available on console.

　　Buy it from Dell_____________________

　　

Samsung CF791 Monitor

If you have deep pockets and you want to make someone very happy, you won't find a better gaming monitor than this one from Samsung. It has a curved 34-inch display, a 100Hz refresh rate, and FreeSync, which offers a cleaner, more fluid picture.

　　Buy it from Amazon_____________________

　　

Dell UltraSharp 27 Monitor

This monitor has fewer bells and whistles than the Samsung one above, but it's priced accordingly. Even so, it offers a gorgeous display with accurate colors, impressive brightness, and an anti-glare coating for extra clarity.

　　Buy it from Amazon_____________________

　　

Asus MG248Q

If a more modestly priced monitor is what you're after, this budget offering from Asus will do the trick just fine. Thanks to its 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, it's impressively fast, and the colors look great.

　　Buy it from Amazon_____________________

　　

Newegg Gift Card

Let's say the person you're buying for is a do-it-yourself kind of individual. In that case, a gift card to Newegg is all you need to get. The online retailer sells all the parts PC gamers need to build their own machine from the ground up.
