Update Oct. 28, 2024 at 12:30 p.m.ET: Best Buy's weekend sale is over but you can still save up to 50% on gaming accessories this week.

Attention all gamers! Best Buy is having a big gaming sale this weekend and the deals are epic. From now through Sunday, score huge savings on select gaming laptops, handhelds, desktops, monitors, and SSDs.

If you're in the market for a new gaming laptop, consider the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 RTX Gaming Laptop for $1,649 ($350 off). We went hands-on with this machine and were blown away by its gorgeous OLED screen, and Ryzen 9 processor prowess.

In one test, it scoffed when we opened 80 Google Chrome tabs which included videos, spreadsheets, documents, social media, news, and shopping sites. No matter what we threw at it, the ROG Zephyrus G14 OLED showed no signs of slowing down.

Alternatively, if you want a solid entry-level gaming rig, you can get the Acer Nitro V RTX 4060 Gaming Laptop for $799 ($300 off). It ships with a free protective laptop sleeve and includes a 3 free month trial of Xbox PC Game Pass (valued at $36).

Best Buy's sale also features considerable discounts on essential gaming accessories. I'm talking about the lowest prices of the season on our favorite gaming headsets, gaming mice, keyboards, controllers, driving wheels, and video games.

So whether you want to elevate your gameplay with a new system, an SSD upgrade, or peripherals, don't sleep on Best Buy's gaming sale. See the top deals I would add to my cart below.

Best Buy's sale ends Sunday, Oct. 27.
