Best Black Friday PC gaming deals 2024: the best discounts in the run up to the big event

1. CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme | Ryzen 7 7800X3D | Nvidia RTX 4070 Super | 32 GB DDR5 | 2 TB SSD | $1,699.99 $1,429.99 at Best Buy (save $270)
While there are cheaper RTX 4070 Super gaming PCs on this list, this one's probably the best overall proposition. In fact, it's probably the best proposition overall right now, out of any gaming PC, for most gamers. That's because the 4070 Super here is combined not only with 2 TB storage but also one of the best gaming CPUs on the market, 32 GB DDR5 RAM, all housed in a lovely chassis to boot.

2. Corsair TC100 | Fabric and leatherette | $249.99 $179.99 at Amazon (save $70)
The TC100 is our favorite affordable gaming chair right now, following up on the popular T3 Rush with a great look and genuine comfort. You can read more in our review. Right now, even with only a light discount, it's a truly excellent gaming chair that's cheaper than most of its competition.

3. MSI MAG 321UP | 32-inch | 4K | 165 Hz | QD-OLED | $829.99 $699.99 at Amazon (save $130)
The code names given to monitors are often impenetrable, but the difference between this MAG 321UP and the MAG321UPX is that this one has a 165 Hz refresh instead of 240 Hz. That's the only difference between this and the more expensive one. If you're not concerned about the refresh rate difference (and do you have the hardware to hit a matching 240 fps otherwise?) then this is where the smart OLED money is spent.

4. Yeyian Tanto | Intel Core i5 13400F | RTX 4070 Super | 16 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,599.99 $1,199.99 at Newegg (save $400)
Yeyian has a stellar deal on an RTX 4070 Super machine here. We've seen slightly cheaper versions on sale, but this one at least does have proper DDR5 memory, making the motherboard at least nominally upgradeable to a more modern spec. It does make a bit of an odd combo with the Core i5 here, though for straightforward gaming performance it shouldn't prove any issue and deliver high frame rates.

5. Lenovo Legion Pro 7 | RTX 4080 | Core i9 14900HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 240 Hz | 32 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $2,649 $1,999 at B&H Photo (save $650)
Lenovo makes some brilliant gaming laptops, and this Legion Pro 7 is no exception. Featuring the mighty RTX 4080 in combination with Intel's top spec Core i9 mobile CPU, this high-end model should have no trouble tearing through any game you can throw at it. The screen is plenty speedy too with a 240 Hz refresh rate, and 32 GB of fast DDR5 is not to be sniffed at.

Price check: Newegg (2 TB SSD model) $2,499.99

6. ASRock Phantom Gaming | 27-inch | 1080p | 165 Hz | IPS | $179.99 $99.77 at Newegg (save $79.22)
ASRock has become a favorite of ours around here over busy shopping periods. These screens always seem to be on offer, and from the one we've used (read our review) they're good value for the money, too. You can't really complain with this 165Hz panel for just under $100.

7. HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless | 50 mm drivers | 15-21,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | $199.99 $144 at Amazon (save $55.99)
The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is one of our all-time favorite gaming headsets for many reasons, but there's a big headline feature to talk about here: 300-hour battery life. No, we didn't make a typo. 300 hours of gaming goodness on a single charge, excellent DTS:X Spatial Audio, and premium comfort features make this headset an absolute stunner of a buy at this price. In fact, when we reviewed it the only major negative we could find was a slightly uninspiring microphone. Absolutely worth a serious look this one, at any level of discount.

8. Acer Nitro XV271U M3bmiiprx | 27-inch | 1440p | 180 Hz | IPS | $289.99 $169.99 at Amazon (save $120)
This Acer monitor is a steal for all you prospective competitive gamers, hitting a high refresh rate and low response time sweet spot (0.5 to 1.0 ms gray-to-gray). It's the same price as the Odyssey G5 but is better for those of you who prefer an IPS panel to a VA.

Price check: Newegg $242

9. Nextorage NEM-PAB | 2 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,300 MB/s read | 6,900 MB/s write | $249.99 $109.99 at Newegg (save $140)
You can expect top performance out of this drive, which is impressive for the price. This version without a DRAM cache makes it a little less responsive than the DRAM-equipped NEM-PA model, despite having a slight advantage in stated straight-line performance. Unfortunately, this drive's price is volatile, but it's still one of the better-value 2 TB drives with a heatsink right now.

10. LG UltraGear 34GP63A-B | 34-inch | 3440 x 1440 | 165 Hz | VA | Curved | $399.99 $239.99 at Amazon (save $160)
At its current price, this LG ultrawide is a genuine bargain. By comparison, Alienware's fancy QD-OLED 34-inch panel is around $800 even on sale. This LG matches its size, resolution, aspect ratio and refresh rate for less than one-third of the price, although of course, it is a VA panel, not an OLED. It's also not the brightest gaming monitor ever, but it is a very good deal.

Ipason gaming PC | Ryzen 5 5600G | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $849 $429 at Newegg (save $420)
Ignore the over-enthusiastic promised discount from the laughable $850 sticker price, this is a really good starter PC. The Ryzen 5 5600G's Vega GPU isn't going to get you playing the latest games at high resolutions on its own, but for some lite 720p gaming it should do fine. The main goal here, though, is to have a base that you can upgrade from with a proper discrete GPU down the line. Slap an RTX 4060 or RTX 4060 Ti in there for well under $400 and you've got a fine gaming PC without spending a fortune and you just need a screwdriver and the will to make it happen.

It's difficult to imagine finding more gaming PC for $700 than this one right now. The Intel Core i5 14400F might not be much of an upgrade on its predecessor, but it's still a plenty-fast little gaming chip. Plus, that RTX 4060 is capable of excellent 1080p gaming performance, and even a dash of 1440p with DLSS 3 help and some settings adjustments. You get a proper 1 TB speedy storage drive and a healthy dose of DDR5 in the mix, too, and even a keyboard and mouse!

This ABS rig with an RTX 4060 is about the cheapest you'll find for something with 32 GB RAM and a relative new CPU. $100 is, admittedly, a fair bop for an extra 16 GB of memory compared to the iBuyPower rig above, but if you don't want to go poking around inside your rig to upgrade your RAM, it might be worth it, even if it is DDR4 rather than DDR5.

MXZ gaming PC | Ryzen 5 5600X | Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,399 $889 at Newegg (save $510)
This is an RX 4060 Ti rig for under $900, what more needs to be said? Well, probably the caveat that it comes with a now somewhat aging CPU and only 16 GB of DDR4 RAM. But provided you're not cranking up the background resources, that CPU and RAM should be able to power the 4060 Ti perfectly well for gaming, making for a great entry-level 1080p rig that can even do some 1440p gaming in most games if you fiddle with your settings.

MSI Codex R2 | Core i5 14400F | Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti | 16 GB DDR5| 1 TB SSD | $1,199.99 $999.99 at Amazon (save $200)
While the MXZ RTX 4060 Ti build above is great if you're on a strict budget, if you can spare an extra $100, this MSI one is well worth it. That's primarily because it has a more recent (and more powerful) CPU, as well as DDR5 RAM which should make for a better upgrade down the line. It's an ideal entry-level rig for this reason.

Yeyian Tanto | Intel Core i5 13400F | RTX 4070 | 16 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,599 $1,079.99 at Newegg (save $519.01)
RTX 4070 machines can vary in price and specification quite significantly, but here you're getting that great 1440p GPU (with even some 4K credentials thanks to DLSS 3), a nice and speedy Core i5 paired with some good DDR5 RAM, and a 1 TB SSD. For close to a thousand bucks, that's a really great selection of hardware that makes it a great gaming rig for more like budget prices. It doesn't have the 4070 Super might of the Skytech build above, but it has a more up-to-date CPU and RAM.

CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme | Ryzen 7 8700F | AMD RX 7800 XT | 32 GB DDR5 | 2 TB SSD | $1,399 $1,199 at Walmart (save $200)
This PC comes with a bunch of caveats, but for this price it's difficult to say no. That's because it features an RX 7800 XT (between RTX 4070 and 4070 Super performance), 32 GB RAM, and 2 TB storage. However, the 8700F processor it comes with isn't the best—only 16 MB cache, which isn't great for gaming compared to, say, a 7600X—so bear in mind you'll probably want to upgrade this down the line. It's socket AM5, though, so doing so should be a breeze.

This Skytech RTX 4070 Super build costs more than the Yeyian Tanto 4070 Super build above, but for that extra cost you're getting a slightly better CPU and an extra 16 GB of (admittedly slower) RAM. Plus, you get that lovely white chassis.

While there are cheaper RTX 4070 Super gaming PCs on this list, this one's probably the best overall proposition. In fact, it's probably the best proposition overall right now, out of any gaming PC, for most gamers. That's because the 4070 Super here is combined not only with 2 TB storage but also one of the best gaming CPUs on the market, 32 GB DDR5 RAM, all housed in a lovely chassis to boot.

This is the cheapest RTX decent 4070 Ti Super build we've come across, and it barely sacrifices anything for its low price tag—just its somewhat lacklustre storage, but that can be added to easily. For reference the RTX 4070 Ti Super is almost in 4080 Super performance territory. It's closer to that than the RTX 4070 Super, anyway. So you're getting a really high-end rig, here, for just under $1,600. Lovely.

This ABS machine, in addition to housing the stellar RTX 4070 Ti Super, has 32 GB of speedy RAM, a high-end CPU, and heaps of RGB. It also has a more powerful CPU than the other ABS build above. In other words, all the prospective high-end gamer should need. It only has a 1 TB SSD, but that's one of the easiest components to upgrade down the line.

Alienware Aurora R16 | Core i9 14900F | Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super | 1 TB SSD | $2,399.99 $1,799.99 at Dell (save $600)
Dell's been surprising us lately with some pretty fantastic deals on its Alienware gaming PCs. This one in particular sits on our list because of that beefy Core i9 CPU. Combined with an RTX 4070 Ti Super and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, you have a solid all-round system for both high-end gaming and productivity. Just keep in mind that upgrading stuff might be a little more difficult down the line than with a custom PC thanks to all the proprietary parts.

This gaming PC deal is for those of you who want to nab a PC with a really high-end graphics card at a good price. If you can spare a little extra cash or wait for a better deal, it might be better to opt for a rig with more storage and RAM, but these things can be upgraded easily anyway, and for $2,100 it's hard to say no to a Core i7 and RTX 4080 Super build.

Yeyian Gaming PC | Ryzen 7 7800X3D | AMD RX 7900 XTX | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | 1 TB SSD | $2,179 at Amazon
This Yeyian gaming PC is for those of you looking for a high-end all-AMD gaming PC. The RX 7900 XTX is about as powerful as Nvidia's best offering, the RTX 4080 Super, and it has more VRAM to boot, which is great for things like content creation. The 7800X3D processor was our previous best pick for gaming, too, and it's still fantastic thanks to heaps of cash. The only downsides to this rig, really, are the 7900 XTX's ray tracing performance compared to the 4080 Super and its 1 TB of storage. I'd be slapping another 1 TB in there ASAP

If you're looking for a high-end all-rounder, this CyberPowerPC build is where it's at. We're talking an RTX 4080 Super, a Core i9-14900KF (which you'll want to ensure has the latest BIOS on to prevent any voltage issues), and more RAM and storage than you'll know what to do with. This is very much a gaming PC for those who want peace of mind knowing their PC can handle just about anything, even beyond gaming and in the realm of productivity and content creation. And you're getting that for less than $2,350. Noice.

We're not massive fans of Alienware PCs when they're at full price, but Dell sure does like a deal, and when it's knocking $1,000 off that sticker price we're going to take notice. That makes this the most cost-effective RTX 4090 gaming PC you can buy today, and it comes fully kitted out to deal with pretty much everything you could throw at it.

This Yeyian build is perfect for those of you willing to spend an arm and a leg on the best money can buy who also don't want to go for an Alienware machine like the one above. This build, at least, should have standard parts that can be swapped around and upgraded easily. Not that you'll want to do that for some time, given the 14900KF and RTX 4090 combo. It even comes with a Platinum PSU, so no worries on the power front. Lovely.

I have to admit the MSI Claw is not our favorite handheld gaming PC. Not even close. That would be the ROG Ally X, which hasn't recieved a tasty discount as of yet. However, below a certain price threshold, the MSI Claw 7 becomes worth a look, and I believe we're just about at that price threshold here. Powered by an Intel Core Ultra 5 'Meteor Lake' chip, this chip is the cheapest of those available, but it can deliver in games thanks to the same eight Xe-cores as the higher models. It's just not as reliable as AMD's options.

Okay, the Steam Deck may have had an OLED refresh but the original version is still the archetype of what a mobile PC gaming device should be. It's just as powerful as the most recent model so all those Steam Deck compatible games should run well. It's the OG PC gaming handheld, and it still demands respect.

The Legion Go is one of the more polished handhelds on the market, with a sleek 8.8-inch screen and detachable controllers. That screen is a little overkill for the lil' AMD chip inside this machine, the Z1 Extreme also found in the ROG Ally, but it's great for playing indies on while relaxing. One of the controllers also becomes a mouse if you need it, which is a bit of a gimmick but works pretty well.

Let's be upfront about this—8 GB of RAM is not enough in 2024. But when you're talking about a gaming notebook that costs just $650, but with a decent RTX 40-series GPU inside it, I can swallow it. Especially when you can easily upgrade the RAM with just a wee screwdriver in-hand. And 16 GB of fast dual-channel DDR5 is just $50-odd right now. The RTX 4050 is just a 75 W variant, so not the outright fastest, but will still definitely do the job at 1080p. For this sorta money, that's all you can ask.

The ROG Ally X is a little bit too new to receive a massive discount. However, as our pick as the best handheld gaming PC to buy right now, even a $100 off is worth mentioning. Combining a generous helping of RAM, which really matters with an APU, alongside a 1 TB SSD and awesome form factor, the ROG Ally X is top of the charts for a reason.

A gaming laptop with an AMD GPU is a rarity, rarer still to find one with a very tasty discount. Now, the RX 7700S isn't the most exciting GPU, but it will outperform the RTX 4050 in most games quite comfortably, making this $700 system a very tempting laptop deal. The screen is decent, the RAM is substantial enough and although we'd prefer more storage space, it's a quality budget gaming machine for a very good price.

Ok, so the SSD is small. Still, it's the easiest thing to upgrade on a laptop, and the rest of the specs are rather nice for the cash. The RTX 4060 handily beats the RTX 4050 by a considerable margin, the screen is a plenty fast 1200p 165 Hz panel, and it's got a nice dose of DDR5. Stick a bigger SSD in it, and it's a nicely-balanced machine.

You're only getting a 1080p screen here, which is a bit of a shame as the rest of the components are all excellent. Still, that RTX 4070 will have no problem pushing that 144 Hz panel to its limits in many games at that res, plus the 10-core (six P-core, four E-core) CPU has some decent DDR5 to play with. It's not perfect, but for this money it's an excellent deal.

This Alienware gaming laptop not only offers what we'd expect to see in a $1,200 machine in 2024, but it comes with one somewhat unexpected item. That's the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, a low-power processor from the Meteor Lake generation. With 16 cores total, this chip makes a good pairing with an RTX 4070 for a power savvy gaming laptop.

We tend to like our gaming laptops on the small side, but this desktop-replacing behemoth is truly excellent value for what you get inside.

This is a big chonker of a laptop, with a honking great 17-inch 240 Hz display. Combine that with a proper mobile RTX 4070, 16 GB of DDR5 and a 1 TB SSD, and you've got a big lappy with plenty of horsepower and a super speedy screen for a good price.

The TUF A14 was a bit of a surprise package to arrive in the PCG office this year, and I ended up a big fan in my review of it. It's a big upgrade on the previous generation of 14-inch, taking many of the design notes from the premium Zephyrus range, but doing so in a more affordable form. It's still a little pricey for an RTX 4060 laptop, if that's all you're after, but for a compact, 14-inch version it's a bit of a bargain.

If you want to throw portability out the window and go large, how about this Acer? It's got a huge (for a laptop) 18-inch 165 Hz LED backlit IPS display, and a 140 W TGP RTX 4070 to keep all 1600p of it duly fed. It's not something you're likely to want to haul around too often, but if you're the sort of person that likes to keep your lappy at home for multi-room gaming, it's a great shout for the price.

Lenovo Legion gaming laptops have been excellent performers for a while now, and this one has specs to impress.

That resolution might be a bit much for the RTX 4070 in demanding games, but there's always DLSS 3 to keep the frame rate smooth. 32 GB of DDR5 is great to see, too.

This is a big laptop that, for once, hasn't been packed with the most power-hungry and heat producing components, which is refreshing. That Core i7 is easier to keep cool than an i9 and it's a more suitable match for the 140W RTX 4070 alongside, which should have no problem pushing 1440p res gaming to that screen. Speaking of which, that 240 Hz panel is very speedy indeed, especially for this price.

It's not flashy, but honestly, do you need anything more than a fast and reliable drive from a good brand at a great price? HP's FX900 Pro certainly fits all those parameters, and with these kinds of speeds on offer, this SSD is no slouch. It has all the specs you might want at this level, including 1 GB of DRAM for heavy workloads.

The MP44L is far from being the fastest SSD you can buy but for the money, you really can't complain. The read/write speeds are pretty low compared to others in our curated list, but they're still fast enough for most users and way better than a SATA SSD. If you avoid using it for heavy data transfers, you'll have no problems with it.

Nextorage NEM-PAB | 1 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,400 MB/s Read | 6,100 MB/s write | $149.99 $67.99 at Newegg (save $82)
Nextorage may be a relatively new name in NMVe SSDs but don't be fooled by appearances. This drive uses the ubiquitous Phison E18 controller, and the 1 TB version represents excellent price/performance value here. This version without a DRAM cache makes it less responsive than the DRAM-equipped NEM-PA model, despite having a slight advantage in stated straight-line performance.

This is a huge saving on a 2230 format SSD that performs pretty nicely, as we found when we reviewed the 2 TB version. Crucial's performance claims are very much peak values and the real-world numbers are generally lower, but at this price, it's a great way to boost your Steam Deck's storage and get a handy speed bump.

Not enough M.2 NVMe slots on your motherboard for more storage? No problem—you can still install a speedy SSD via a SATA port. The Crucial MX500 is pretty much the best out there, as nothing else offers the same blend of performance and value for money as the MX500. It's also available in 2 TB and 4 TB sizes, with the prices scaling on par with the storage capacity.

Samsung's relatively new 990 Evo Plus range has a lot going for it (check out our review) but its launch price was too high. This deal goes a long way to rectify that but for a DRAM-less SSD, it's still a bit pricey. One for Samsung's fans and its excellent Magician software.

This is still our favorite SSD for gaming, despite the strong competition and volatile prices. Unlike the cheaper SN770, the SN850X encapsulates the best PCIe 4.0 offers in terms of performance (check out our review).

If you absolutely must have the fastest possible SSD, you need to get a Gen5 model. Team Group's Z540 is ridiculously quick in benchmarks, but no game that takes advantage of that speed exists yet. As with all Gen5 SSDs, it's very expensive and runs really hot, so it's probably best to wait for the next round of PCIe 5.0 SSDs before taking the plunge.

This DRAM-less Nextorage drive still has plenty of pace about it, and if you're just using it as an extra game library SSD to contend with your expanding library, but still need some storage speed, it's a great option. The extra cache can come in handy as a boot drive, increasing responsiveness for smaller write operations, but for games, this more affordable option can be a good way to save some cash on a new build or upgrade.

You can expect top performance out of this drive, which is impressive for the price. This version without a DRAM cache makes it a little less responsive than the DRAM-equipped NEM-PA model, despite having a slight advantage in stated straight-line performance.

Prices for the XS70 are some of the most variable I've seen for an SSD, so it's perhaps worth waiting to see if the price dips again before picking one up. It packs rather a large bang for your buck with its fast read and write times, at least. While the software side of things may be a little lacking, we were impressed with this drive's overall performance and value proposition.

Samsung's 990 Pro is a very solid SSD (read our review), albeit rather pricey for what it is.

It's a fair chunk of cash for a slow SSD but if you're looking for lots of storage and don't need a blazing NVMe drive, then this is the cheapest way of putting a 4 TB SSD in your gaming PC. Just don't expect it to sustain full speed under heavy workloads and you'll be fine.

This Silicon Power might not be the fastest of drives, but it's difficult to argue with this much storage for this sort of money. With a sequential read/write of 5,000 MB/s and 4,500 MB/s, it's still not what you'd call slow and should be fine for gaming; plus it comes from a reliable brand.

With Logitech's first-generation Hero sensor, this mouse is plenty snappy with a max DPI of 25,000. It also comes with a wireless receiver to ensure a report rate of just 1 ms. You will find more impressive mice, like the G Pro 2 Lightspeed, with better specs, but this maximises value to quality almost perfectly, at nearly half the cost of its successor.

At this price, however, the V3 Pro is cheaper than the HyperSpeed and is definitely where it's at. You're getting the best Razer has to offer in its beloved DeathAdder form factor, and that's a heck of a lot for this price.

At this price, this Asus AM5 motherboard is much better value than when it first came to market. Packed with PCIe slots, you can add lots of expansion cards for more USB and storage, to make up for the small number of those connections on the board.

PSVR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle | 2000 x 2040 per eye | 90-120 Hz | Inside out tracking | USB Type-C | $599.99 $349 at Amazon (save $250)
This is a really nice saving that is only really worth going for over Meta's offering if you are a very specific type of person. If you like both PS5 and PC, and would prefer Sony's admittedly small but fun lineup of titles over what the Quest store has to offer, this is a good saving, and is the same price as the bundle without Horizon Call of the Mountain. The PSVR2 is one of the most comfortable headsets on the market right now and the PS5's foveated rendering is truly phenomenal, though those who plug this into PCVR with the adapter don't get the same tech.

HTC Vive Pro 2 full system | 2448 x 2448 per eye | 120 Hz | Base station tracking | $1,199 $799.99 at Amazon (save $400)
In our HTC Vive Pro 2 review, we gave the headset 82%, praising its fantastic display and great tracking. Using base stations, the tracking is a little old school, and that price is still quite high, but this bundle gets you absolutely everything you need for high-end PCVR gaming.

HTC Vive Focus Vision (with Vive Wired Streaming Kit and a game pack) | 2448 x 2448 per eye | 90 Hz | Inside out tracking | $1,148 $999 at Amazon (save $149)
The HTC Vive Focus Vision launched just a few months ago and with a worse chip than the Meta Quest 3 at a much higher price point. However, it focuses instead on the PCVR experience, with a higher FOV, lossless PCVR support, and it even comes with eye tracking, complete with automatic IPD adjustment. The pack we've picked out comes with the Vive Wired Streaming Kit for lossless streaming quality, and a game pack, giving you the choice between two different new game bundles. If you want a super high resolution and lossless play, this is worth keeping on your radar.
