Daily use for YouTube, path of exile and league Of legends. Should I wait till boxing Day for better deal?
Also how much would it roughly cost to replace my faulty 512 GB SSD on my laptop and transfer the data?
Any advice is appreciated.
Gaming Desktop Recommendations Budget~ $1500

The reason you not getting much comment is…. your post is a bit low effort…. Get some details and we'll talk.

You might want to check whether the games you run rely on cpu or gpu first and go up or down a level on those parts depending on what you find.
Do you really need a 1.5k PC for PoE and LoL?
Unless you want the fun of assembling it yourself, I’d just pick up one of the lower end prebuilds advertised here every once in a while.
Replacing an SSD shouldn’t be hard. Pick up one that fits your laptop (whatever your laptop’s type is), and you’re good to go. The actual cloning process can be a bit of a faff, but even if you get it professionally done it shouldn’t break the bank.
Most computer store will run small ish discount on festivals, which is better than nothing, as the margin is not that high for them to run big discount. For an actual decent price cut, you can probably hope to get a good deal on CPU/RAM/SSD @ Amazon, or maybe AfterPay Day + eBay.
They might try to offset overflow stock like non-popular mobo and shitty SSD/RAM, as they have to bundle shitty non-moving stock when ordering popular stock from supplier, but that's a long shot as they usually try to get the shit one out first.
You didn't mention if you need Monitor/Mouse/Keyboard etc or just the barebone computer box so I won't bother making a list up…. yet.
which type of drive? SATA/ M.2 SATA/ M.2 Nvme? for M.2 SATA/nvme, what physical size?
If you do DIY, (buy a new drive to insert in, take the old drive out and put it onto an adapter to read data):
Drive itself cost $50 ish (similar across all different types anyway, unless it's the special ones like m.2 2230 etc.)
SATA adapter usually is around $10, a m.2 case that support both SATA/NVMe is around $20~35 ish depends. If you want a "service" from someone, I'd say $100 + parts at least.
