Day 2 of Amazon’s ‘12 Days of Deals’ focuses on PC hardware
There's a whole lot of stuff on sale.
This is the best time of year to build or upgrade your PC, or add to it (like a new router). We're knee-deep in the holiday shopping season at this point, and that means there are deals galore. Amazon in particular is hitting the deals scene hard. This is day two of its '12 Days of Deals' event, each day of which focuses on a specific category. Today's focus is PC hardware.
There are all kinds of items on sale. We've already highlighted some of the better deals on Logitech's gaming peripherals and accessories, but that's just scratching a very large surface.
Here are some of the better bargains we came across:
Asus ROG Strix B350-F Gaming Motherboard | $84.99 (save $40)

Netgear R6700 Nighthawk Router | AC1750 | $69.99 (save $60)
One of the top models when it came out, the R6700 is still a formidable router with excellent range and fast speeds. Click the coupon in the listing for the full discount. Buy at Amazon

If your PC doesn't have built-in wireless support, this is an inexpensive way to add it. You just need a free USB port (and of course a wireless signal). Buy at Amazon
