Memorial Day Deals: Level Up Your Gaming Setup

I'm planning a major shopping spree this Memorial Day weekend to revamp my gaming setup. While I typically skip Memorial Day sales, growing concerns about potential tariff impacts and rising prices in the U.S. have convinced me it's better to shop now than risk paying more later. This feels particularly urgent for my long-overdue gaming setup upgrade—it's truly reached a "now or never" moment.

Where to Begin Your Upgrade Journey

The Memorial Day sales have been running since last week, and I've been scouring the Wayfair sale for quality furniture pieces. My priority list includes an ergonomic office chair, a spacious desk, and a stylish bookcase for my game collection. Among all retailers, Wayfair's interface has proven most user-friendly for furniture shopping. Additionally, I've been consulting IGN's expert recommendations for gaming chairs and desks to explore premium brand options.

Here's my strategic approach to upgrading your setup during these sales:

Explore Wayfair's Extensive Collection First

Browse thousands of home and office deals. While Amazon offers discounts across all categories, Wayfair stands out for furniture selection. Their robust filtration system lets you easily find Memorial Day promotions while narrowing options by size, material, color, and price range. Even if you don't purchase, it's perfect for inspiration. I've successfully bought bookshelves, rugs, and tables from them before.

That said, Wayfair isn't ideal for premium gaming chairs or specialized desks—their strength lies in quality standard furniture at competitive prices.

Invest in a High-Quality Chair

When upgrading, prioritize your chair budget above all else. I'm currently deliberating between options while my current chair—held together with sweatshirt straps—desperately needs replacement. For hybrid work-gaming use, I'm considering both gaming and ergonomic office chairs. Secretlab's Memorial Day sale has me eyeing their IGN-approved Titan Evo model.

Complete Your Setup with Amazon Accessories

The finishing touches—RGB lighting, premium mouse pads, headset stands, and Steam Deck docks—truly personalize your gaming space. Amazon consistently offers the best prices for these essentials. While you might find novelty items elsewhere, Amazon remains the go-to for practical upgrades.

Note that Amazon also features exceptional TV deals this Memorial Day, including record-low prices on the LG C4—an excellent choice for both console and PC gaming.

PC Upgrade Considerations

Currently gaming on a Steam Deck and Switch, I dream of a powerful RTX 5090 rig but budget constraints and potential Switch 2 purchases make this impractical. However, Memorial Day presents prime opportunities for those seeking gaming laptops or prebuilt PCs. Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Best Buy currently offer significant discounts worth exploring.
