I'm planning to take advantage of Memorial Day weekend to revamp my gaming setup. Typically, I skip these sales, but with concerns about potential price hikes due to tariffs in the U.S., now feels like the right time to shop. I've been wanting to upgrade my gaming space for years, and this moment seems like the perfect opportunity.

Many Memorial Day sales kicked off last week, and I've been exploring the Wayfair sale for furniture. I'm in the market for a new office chair, desk, and a bookcase to organize my games. Wayfair’s website has been the easiest to navigate so far. I’ve also checked IGN’s recommendations for top gaming chairs and desks to explore other trusted brands.

If you’re looking to refresh your gaming setup or office during these sales, here’s how I recommend approaching it.

Begin with Wayfair’s Sale

Wayfair Memorial Day Sale

While the Amazon Memorial Day sale offers discounts on nearly everything, Wayfair stands out for furniture deals. It’s a great starting point due to the vast number of offers and user-friendly filters that let you sort by dimensions, material, color, price, and more. Even if you don’t purchase from Wayfair, it’s an excellent place to clarify what fits your space. I’ve previously bought bookshelves, rugs, lamps, and tables from Wayfair and generally recommend them for such items.

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 Comfort First

When upgrading your setup, prioritize spending on a quality chair. I haven’t settled on a specific model yet, but it’s where I’m allocating most of my budget. My current chair is barely holding together, patched up with an old pair of sweatpants. Since I’ll use it for both work and gaming, I’m being selective. I’m torn between a gaming chair and an office chair, but IGN’s endorsement of the Secretlab Titan Evo has me intrigued, especially with the ongoing Secretlab sale.

Shop Accessories on Amazon

The final step is personalizing your gaming setup with accessories like RGB lights, mouse pads, laptop stands, headset holders, and Steam Deck docks. Amazon consistently offers the best prices on these items. While Wayfair has unique items like a Darth Vader cardboard cutout on sale, Amazon is my go-to for most accessories.

Amazon Memorial Day Sale

Though I’m not buying a TV, Amazon has some of the best Memorial Day TV deals, including the LG C4, which hit a record-low price. It’s a fantastic choice for both console and PC gamers.

Boost Your Gaming PC Now

I don’t currently own a high-performance gaming PC and can’t afford one right now. I rely on my Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch for gaming, which are great for portability but lack in performance. A new PC with an RTX 5090 would be ideal, but with rising GPU prices and a potential Switch 2 purchase on the horizon, it’s not feasible for me.

That said, Memorial Day sales are a great time to shop for gaming laptops or PCs. I recommend starting with the Dell Memorial Day sale, though HP, Lenovo, and Best Buy also have solid discounts. Here are the top sales I’ve found in this category.
