Best Cyber Monday PC gaming deals 2024: the savings continue from now through *checks notes* 'Cyber Week'?

1. 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.

2. Corsair TC100 | Fabric and leatherette | $249.99 $179.99 at Best Buy (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. Yeyian Tanto | Core i5 13400F | RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,099 $749.99 at Newegg (save $349.01)
This isn't the cheapest RTX 4060 gaming PC we've found this sales season, but this is the one that I'd be buying right now. While the other budget systems are similarly sporting last-gen CPUs, the Core i5 13400F is identical to the 14th Gen alternative, and faster than the Arrow Lake chips for gaming. Paired up with an RTX 4060 and 16 GB of relatively quick DDR5 memory makes this a great budget system.

4. MSI MAG 341CQP | 34-inch | 3440 x 1440 | 175 Hz | QD-OLED | Curved | $779.99 $575.99 at Amazon (save $204)
OLED gaming still isn't as affordable as we'd like. But it's getting there. This 34-inch ultrawide QD-OLED beast is still a good deal at this price, however. The 175 Hz refresh is a tiny bit pedestrian, but it's plenty fast enough for us and in all other regards, this is the full OLED experience, including 0.03 ms response and serious HDR sizzle.

5. XFX RX 7800 XT | 16 GB GDDR6 | 3,840 shaders | 2,430 MHz boost | $489.99 $449.99 at Amazon (save $40)
At this price point, the best card used to be the RX 6800 XT but these days we have deals like this one, where the 7800 XT has the same price tag. It's only a little bit faster than the card it's replaced, but you're still getting a lotta GPU for the money.

6. MSI Vector 16 HX | RTX 4080 | Core i9 14900HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 240 Hz | 1 TB SSD | 32 GB RAM | $2,099 $1,849 at B&H (save $250)
Of the two MSI Vector machines we've highlighted here, I'd rather this one. It has a newer, more powerful CPU, a better screen resolution and refresh rate for an RTX 4080, and 32 GB of RAM. Altogether, that makes for a pretty sweet package and an upgrade worth the extra $100 over the cheapest RTX 4080 laptop we've found so far.

7. Acer Nitro XZ270 | 27-inch | 1080p | 240 Hz | VA | Curved | $199.93 $153.78 at Amazon (save $46.15)
If you're desperate for a super-high refresh rate on a budget, then this Acer Nitro screen should fit the bill. It's not very bright, rated at just 250 nits, but it's a good size, is a VA panel and sports a full 240 Hz refresh rate for a rather tasty price tag.

8. HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless | 50 mm drivers | 15-21,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | $199.99 $125.99 at Amazon (save $74)
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.

Sejishi gaming desktop | Ryzen 5 5600G | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $469 $435 at Newegg (save $34)
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.

Sejishi gaming PC | Ryzen 5 5600 | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 32 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $990 $800 at Newegg (save $190)
This is pretty darn cheap for an RTX 4060 rig with 32 GB of RAM in it, even if that is DDR4. The 5600 is no slouch, either, for a CPU that's a couple of generations old. This PC should make for some strong 1080p gaming and act as a great entry-level build.

This is probably the cheapest RTX 4060 Ti build around at the moment that's actually a pretty decent rig. There are other options with low-end Core i5 chips, but this Zen 4 F-series CPU comes with six cores and 12 threads, and sits in an AM5 motherboard which gives it an upgrade path. The board is pretty low-spec however, so will likely only have space for the one SSD, but what you get is a full 1 TB. And that 16 GB of DDR5-5600 is pretty quick, too.

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 a proper 32 GB dose of DDR5 RAM, and a 1 TB SSD. 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 of some of the builds above, but it has a more up-to-date CPU and RAM, and the OG RTX 4070 is still a very capable card.

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 the odd caveat, 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.

This is a great option for those of you looking for a powerful build with an AMD GPU that doesn't break the bank. The great thing about the 7800 XT is that you're getting 16 GB of VRAM for a reasonable price. It performs somewhere between the RTX 4070 and 4070 Super, too, so it'll do just fine for 1440p and even some 4K gaming.

This one's for those of you who expect to be doing some serious creative or productivity work alongside your gaming. That's because in addition to the RTX 4070 Super that's the heart of this PC's gaming chops, plus its 2 TB of storage and 32 GB of fast RAM, there's also a hefty 14900KF working as its brain. Make extra sure its BIOS is up to date, and then get churning through any CPU-heavy task you desire.

I will freely admit this is not the cheapest RTX 4070 Ti Super machine we've seen this sales season, but it is sporting a better spec than the more affordable, but sadly now out of stock options. The 7700X is one of our favorite chips from the Zen 4 generation and offers a great eight-core, 16-thread chip for gaming, and more than enough to keep up with the excellent Nvidia GPU. You're also getting 32 GB of relatively quick DDR5 and a 750 W PSU which would be enough for an RTX 4080 Super upgrade... or potentially the future equivalent. And yeah, I dig that chassis.

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 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.

iBuyPower RDY Y70 04 | Intel Core i9 14900KF | Nvidia RTX 4090 | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 2 TB SSD | $3,599 $3,099 at iBuyPower (save $500)
Just like many of the other iBuyPower RDY builds on this list, this one's very well-rounded with 32 GB of fast RAM, 2 TB storage, and a powerhouse of a CPU. This one goes the extra mile, though, and throws an RTX 4090 in there, which is the most powerful graphics card on the market right now. Yeah, this PC can handle basically anything. Oh, and did I mention it's got a screen on its lovely chassis, too? Yeah.

HP Victus 15 | RTX 4050 | Ryzen 5 8645HS | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144 Hz | 8 GB DDR5 | 512 GB SSD | $663 at Walmart
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.

Lenovo LOQ 15.6 | RTX 4060 | 15.6-inch | 144 Hz|16 GB RAM | 512 GB SSD | $839.99 at Newegg
It's not the flashiest laptop in the world, but it's 144 Hz and will do perfectly well for 1080p gaming. That's an 8-core processor, too, so it's not exactly a slouch on that front, either.

This is the cheapest RTX 4070 gaming laptop I've seen so far this Black Friday/Cyber Monday period. Not only that, but it doesn't entirely suck in other ways. There's a reasonable amount of dual-channel memory and a speedy IPS screen. The 512 GB SSD does, however, suck, but you can easily upgrade it with the spare NVMe slot inside.

This is easily the cheapest RTX 4070 gaming laptop on the list right now, and the cheapest I think I've ever seen one on sale for. The RTX 4070 isn't a super low spec either, and seems to be a 115 W version. The only real concern I have is that the 512 GB SSD will get filled up fast, but there is a second SSD slot easily accessible in the back of the laptop, so is an easy upgrade. The screen isn't super bright, either, but at 300 nits it will be fine unless you're in a bright office or direct sunlight.

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 a very solid deal.

This is a very specific type of laptop for a very specific type of person, but if you are that person, there's a good saving to be had. It's a teeny tiny little device with an RTX 4060 and one of Intel's Meteor Lake chips inside it. It has a more sleek chassis than most on this list, though that does come with a higher fee. It's basically RTX 4070 money for an RTX 4060.

You're really paying for the form factor here, as you might have noticed this laptop is surrounded by similarly price machines with RTX 4070s in them. Though the G14 is a wonderfully compact machine with a gorgeous OLED and all-metal chassis. It's a premium pick—there's a reason they're competing with Razer's Blade laptops—and the premium price can only be avoided so much. Still, $400 off isn't bad.

A cheap RTX 4070 laptop with a powerful processor—who said Cyber Monday is just imitation Black Friday? Sure, the CPU is last-gen, but all of the models at this end of the market tend to be. The 1200p screen and well-sized SSD make this one of the top picks right now for value for money.

This Alienware gaming laptop not only offers what we'd expect to see in a $1,200 machine in 2024, but it also 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. There's a proper RTX 4070 handling the graphics duties, a nicely performant Core i7 13700HX and some decent DDR5 rounding off a powerful, if rather ginormous, gaming beast.

Acer's Helios line of laptops goes up to some mighty (and mighty pricey) configs, but this one is a bit more affordable. You get that super-fast 240 Hz screen, a proper RTX 4070, and one of Intel's top mobile chips, the Core i9 14900HX. It'll likely run pretty toasty with that beefy Intel chip in the mix, but power-wise it's a pretty mean gaming machine.

Lenovo Legion gaming laptops have been excellent performers for a while now, and this one has specs to impress. The CPU is a 24-core (8 P-cores/16 E-cores) powerhouse, plus you get a proper 32 GB of RAM to play with. Match that with a 140 W RTX 4070 and a 240 Hz screen and this laptop is virtually flawless for the money. 2 TB of storage would be nice if I was being picky, but 1 TB will do you fine.

Let's start with a caveat—the chassis here isn't exactly beautiful. But everything else about this laptop is great for the price, including a 140 W RTX 4070, a 16-core (six Performance, eight Efficient) Meteor Lake chip and a 16-inch 2000p LED-backlit IPS display. 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.

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.

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.

If you must have Ada Lovelace, Nvidia's latest gaming architecture, the cheapest way in is this RTX 4060. Faster than the RTX 3060 but the price suggests it should have been better. You do get the full DLSS 3.5 suite, though, and it's pretty decent at encoding video for streaming. Nevertheless, we prefer AMD's RX 7600 or last-gen RX 6700.

Nothing more than a speed-bumped RX 6700 XT, this version comes with higher core and memory clocks. That generally makes for higher frame rates in games, though that does depend on what you're playing. It's worth a look, especially for all that speedy VRAM. Stocks are very low now and it's pushing prices back up.

This small twin-fan model should still run cool and quiet and deliver a lot of gaming performance in a super-efficient fashion.

There's no DRAM to boost sustained performance and the SLC cache isn't especially big, either. But the speed is good enough for most workloads and when 1 TB of storage costs this much, who cares that it's not flash or fancy? Not us, that's for sure.

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.

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

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.

It's also MagSafe-compatible so you can attach it to the back of an iPhone and extend its storage, with an appropriate cable.

Netgear Nighthawk RS700S | Wi-Fi 7 | Tri-band | 1x 10G LAN ports | 4x 1.0G LAN ports | 1x 10G WAN port | 1x USB 3.0 port | $699.99 $593.99 at Amazon (save $200)
Super pricey and the lack of 2.5G LAN ports is a bit disappointing, when the cheaper GE800 has them. But for sheer wireless performance, the RS700S is hard to beat (read our review). Best suited for those who don't really want a wired network or a router with in-your-face looks.

Amazon Eero Max 7 mesh system | Wi-Fi 7 | Tri-band | 2x 10G LAN ports | 2x 2.5G LAN ports | $2,304.97 $1,704.97 at Amazon (save $600)
No, you haven't misread that price, it really is $1,300 worth of wireless routers. But hear me out. If you have a very large house and you're using a single router, you'll almost certainly have signal dead spots everywhere. Mesh systems solve this problem by providing a continuous single network that you can seamlessly move about. Amazon's Eero Max 7 is very easy to set up and use, as we found when we reviewed it. With four units in this package, you could set up a wireless network on a small farm.

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.
