If you’ve recently picked up one of the best graphics cards on the market, you’ll want to make sure your current CPU isn’t bottlenecking your system’s performance – after all, your gaming PC is only as good as its slowest component. Fortunately, if you’re in the market for a CPU upgrade, there are a couple of chips discounted on Amazon right now.

Over in the US, you can pick up an Intel Core i7 9700K for $295.95 at a 28% ($114.04) discount, down from $409.99. Despite it soon being two generations old once the Rocket Lake-S chips release in a few months, this eight-core, eight-threaded chip is still more than up to the task of running the latest games.

On Amazon UK, you can pick up the 16-threaded AMD Ryzen 7 3700X chip, which made our list of the best gaming CPUs you can buy. This has an 18% (£60) reduction, bringing it down to £269.99 from £329, which is perfect for games and any productivity tasks that you throw at it.
