Best Deals for Upgrading Your Gaming Setup This Memorial Day

By Zachary: Nov 13,2025

I'm planning to take advantage of Memorial Day weekend sales to revamp my gaming setup. Typically, I skip these sales, but with potential price hikes looming due to tariffs, now feels like the right time to shop. I've been wanting to upgrade my gaming station for years, and this could be the perfect opportunity.

Many Memorial Day sales started last week, and I've been exploring Wayfair's offerings for furniture. I'm in the market for a new office chair, desk, and a bookcase for my games, and Wayfair's user-friendly site has made browsing a breeze. I've also checked IGN's recommendations for top gaming chairs and desks to explore other trusted brands.

If you're looking to enhance your gaming or office setup during these sales, here are my tips to make the most of it.

Begin with Wayfair's Sale

FurnitureWhile Amazon's Memorial Day sale offers discounts on a wide range of products, Wayfair stands out for its extensive furniture deals. It's a great starting point due to the volume of offers and intuitive filtering options for dimensions, materials, colors, and prices. Even if you don't purchase from Wayfair, it's a helpful tool to refine your preferences. I've previously bought items like bookshelves, rugs, lamps, and tables from Wayfair and generally recommend it for such purchases.

However, Wayfair may not always carry the top brands. Their prices are competitive for standard furniture, but for premium office chairs or gaming-specific desks, you might need to look elsewhere.

Invest in a Quality Chair

When upgrading your setup, prioritize spending on a comfortable chair. I'm still choosing mine, but it will be my biggest investment. My current chair is barely holding together, makeshift-fixed with old sweatpants. Since I'll use it for both work and gaming, I'm being selective. I'm torn between a gaming or office chair, but IGN's endorsement of the Secretlab Titan Evo has caught my eye, especially with the ongoing Secretlab sale.

Shop Accessories on Amazon

Customizing your gaming setup is key, with items like RGB lights, mouse pads, laptop stands, headset holders, and Steam Deck docks. Amazon often has the best prices for these accessories. While Wayfair offers unique items like a Darth Vader cardboard cutout, Amazon has been my go-to for most of these purchases.

Though I'm not in the market for a TV, Amazon's Memorial Day TV deals are impressive. Notably, the LG C4 hit a record-low price, making it a top choice for console and PC gamers.

Boost Your Gaming PC Now

My current gaming PC is outdated, and my budget doesn't allow for an upgrade. I rely on my Steam Deck and nage, but with GPU prices rising and a potential Nintendo Switch 2 on the horizon, a new PC isn't feasible.

However, if you're shopping for a gaming laptop or PC, Memorial Day sales are a prime time. Start with the Dell Memorial Day sale, but check out deals at HP, Lenovo, Best Buy, and more. Here are the top sales I've found in this category.
