This year I decided to take the plunge and make my own PC. For years, I’ve been editing video on laptops with all the frustration that can involve. Even when using proxies or optimised media instead of 4K log footage directly, Davinci Resolve can still be painfully temperamental on a laptop. And rather than upgrading yet again, I’ve decided a homemade PC is the most futureproof way to go.

After asking video editors for recommendations, I’ve decided on Nvidia over AMD. I was hoping to find good deals on an RTX 4000 series GPU now that the 5000s are out, but stock is already almost non-existent. The good news is that there are Memorial Day GPU deals on some of Nvidia's latest graphics cards at Amazon, including $120 off the GeForce RTX 5070 and $641 off the mighty RTX 5090.

Best value
Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070: was $819.99 now $699.99 at Amazon

Save $120: This is the Memorial Day graphics card deal I think I'm going to go for to put in my self-build PC for video editing and it seems to present the best value for non gamers. With 12GB VRAM, the GPU might not be up to 1440p gaming, but should be nippy enough for video editing workflows.

For pro gamers
MSI Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090: was $4,058.99 now $3,417.99 at Amazon

Save $641: If you've got money to spend and want the absolute best graphics card on the market for gaming and creating right now, Nvidia's latest flagship also has a decent Memorial Day saving inthis MSI package. With 32GB RAM, a GPU clock speed of 2497 MHz packed with upgraded fans, this is the deal for those who want to enjoy the latest ray-tracing-enhanced graphics in PC gaming.

Save $124.01: For gamers that don't have the budget for the 5090, the obvious compromise is the 5080 with 16GB. Like the 5090 presentation above, this comes with solid MSI build and the latest Nvidia tech.
