Black Friday's almost on the doorstep and we've already seen the Black Friday gaming PC deals ramp up from the very start of what has almost inevitably become Black November. We've already had Amazon's October Prime Day attempting to encourage you to part with some cash ahead of the big end of year sales events of Black Friday and Christmas, and the trend of trying to get folk to spend earlier isn't going to go away.
We've been curating the best gaming PC deals all year long to make sure that we know how the prices have been trending in 2024 so that we can help you make the best pick when it comes to buying your next rig. What we've been doing in the run-up to Black Friday is keeping tabs on what goes in and out of stock, and what is happening to prices in advance of the new generation of gaming PCs that is set to land in the new year, and what you should be aiming to pay when it comes to the best discounts.
The new Nvidia GeForce and AMD Radeon GPUs are expected to launch in the new year, which ought to have a direct impact on the prices of the existing gaming PCs that retailers are going to want to shift ahead of that momentous event.
The current RTX 40-series and RX 7000-series graphics cards are still totally relevant for prime gaming performance, and the last couple of generations of processors will still see you right, too. That should mean PCs which might have been on the shelves a while, and are marked for stock shifting, will still deliver great gaming frame rates and should see some hefty discounts.
Where we might have only expected RTX 4060-based machines below the $1,000 mark, from what we've seen over October's Prime Day we should also see RTX 4060 Ti and maybe, just maybe there might be an RTX 4070 gaming PC here or there.

What does 'price watch' mean?
We've added a new "price watch" qualifier to all our individual deals, making it easy to see whether a price has gone up ⬆️ or down ⬇️ since we last checked it out. It's important to note that any deal in this guide (even if it's slightly risen in price) is still one of our top picks, as we only show you deals that are actually worth buying.

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.

Ipason gaming desktop | Ryzen 5 5600 | Radeon RX 7600 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1399 $689 at Newegg (save $710)
If you don't want to get busy with a screwdriver, Ipason has a budget offering with a built-in upgrade over its $429 5600G-sporting PC, this time with an RX 7600 GPU at its heart. That offers sometimes better than RTX 4060 gaming performance, and the full system comes with a solid back-up spec, too. The Ryzen 5 5600 might not be the latest and greatest but it's still very capable as a gaming CPU, and that 1 TB SSD gives you a decent amount of space for a few big games and all your files. Nobody would pay the supposed "original" price of $1399 for this rig, but at sub-$700 it's a genuinely good deal.
iBuypower Scale | Core i5 14400F | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR5-5200 | 1 TB SSD | $949.99 $699.99 at Best Buy (save $250)
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!

Yeyian Yumi | Core i5 12400F | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,199.99 $699.99 at Newegg (save $500)
You might say there are too many Yeyian makes too many PCs with the same name, but honestly, I'm not complaining when it does so with such decent specs at such good prices. This version of the Yeyian Yumi is basically asking whether you want to go with a previous-gen Intel or previous-gen AMD six-core chip at the heart of your budget RTX 4060 PC, and personally, I'd go with the $100 cheaper Intel version all day long. It's an older model for sure, but it's solid, has none of the 13th and 14th Gen issues Intel has struggled with recently, and is a great price.

Yeyian Yumi | Ryzen 5 5600X | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $799.99 $779.98 at Newegg (save $20.01)
The Yumi is a bit of a classic when it comes to gaming PC deals, as it's always there or thereabouts. At the moment this is the cheapest RTX 4060-based PC we've found, and comes with a supporting spec that is absolutely solid, even if it's not the latest and greatest. The combination of DDR4 RAM and a previous-gen Ryzen 5 might not be top-end, but this machine will still deliver great performance for under a grand.

ABS Cyclone Aqua | Core i5 13400F | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 32 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $999.99 $799.99 at Newegg (save $200 with code BFNDYA892)
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. On their own, an extra 16 GB RAM or a slight CPU upgrade might not be worth the $100 extra for a budget build, but together? In combination, these upgrades should ensure your PC has the grunt even for some moderate productivity tasks, giving you that extra peace of mind.

Yeyian Tanto gaming PC | Core i5 14400F | RTX 4060 Ti | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $1399.99 $949.99 at Newegg (save $450)
This is a sub-$1,000 gaming PC and it has an RTX 4060 Ti, need I say more? It's a great price for a rig with this entry-level/midrange graphics card, and it even comes with speedy DDR5 RAM. Just be aware that the "F" in the name means it lacks integrated graphics, so if your 4060 Ti ever goes kaput, you'll have no video-out.

Thermaltake LCGS View i460T V2 | Core i7 14700F | RTX 4060 Ti | 32 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,299.99 $999.99 at Best Buy (save $300)
This Thermaltake build is I think the best all-rounder I've seen for $1,000. That's primarily because it features the 20-cores (8x P-Core) Intel Core i7 14700F. That's a big step-up from the other RTX 4060 Ti builds you see a little cheaper than this, such as ones with a Core i5 13400F or 14400F. Which likely won't benefit you massively for gaming, but for other things such as productivity tasks, it'll be a real boon. Oh, and it's all housed in a lovely white Thermaltake case wit the company's own cooling, power supply, and so on.

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.

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.

Skytech Shiva | Core i5 14400F | RTX 4070 Super | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | 1 TB SSD | $1699.99 $1,329.99 at Newegg (save $370)
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.

Skytech Azure 2 | Ryzen 7 7700X | RX 7800 XT | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,599.99 $1,379.99 at Newegg (save $220)
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.

ABS Aeolian-M Ruby | Ryzen 7 7700X | Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super | 32 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $2,099.99 $1,649.99 at Newegg (save $450)
This ABS build is stellar value for high-end gaming thanks to its RTX 4070 Ti graphics card. If it was paired with a better CPU such as a recent Core i7, it would make for a fantastic productivity build, too. But it's a worthy sacrifice, because the 7700X is more than enough for gaming and everyday tasks, and this way you get a low price tag to boot.

ABS Tempest Aqua | Core i7 14700F | RTX 4070 Ti Super | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $1,999.99 $1,749.99 at Newegg (save $250)
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.

ABS Kaze Ruby | Ryzen 7 7700X | Nvidia RTX 4080 Super | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $2,399.99 $1,949.99 at Newegg (save $450)
With this rig, for less than $2,000 you're getting the most powerful graphics card barring the usually overkill RTX 4090, a CPU that's perfectly suitable for gaming, 32 GB of fast DDR5 RAM, and even a 1,000 W power supply. It should handle any game you throw on-screen with ease. The only real sacrifice is the 1 TB of storage, but that'll be easy to upgrade down the line. There's little not to love.

This build is everything a gamer might want. The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the best gaming CPU out right now and in this build it's paired with what is the most powerful graphics card barring the ridiculously expensive RTX 4090. Throw in a whopping 64 GB of DDR5 RAM and this Skytech build has more than enough to demolish any game in its path. It even has 2 TB of storage, so you shouldn't go running out of space for game installs any time soon.

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 is a huge amount of cash to spend on a gaming PC, but it gets you the best gaming CPU and the best graphics card in one powerful package. And that can't be bad, can it? With that, you get 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, 2 TB of fast storage, and a hoofing great 1 KW power supply. Oof. If you really need that 4090, this is a solid price for a very extravagant build.

ADMI Gaming PC| Core i5 12400F | RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | £699.95 at Amazon
Yes, this six-core, 12-thread CPU is now two generations old but for the money, you really can't complain. Well, a bit more RAM would have been nice, but you're not going to get many gaming PCs with an RTX 4060 and a 12th Gen i5 for less than £800. The PSU is only rated to 500W, however, so if you're planning on using this as a base to upgrade in the future, you might need a better supply unit for a top-end GPU.

Scan gaming PC | Ryzen 5 5500 | RTX 4060 Ti | 16 GB DDR4-3600 | 1 TB SSD | £879.98 £849.98 at Scan (save £30)
RTX 4060 Ti builds can hit the sweet spot of entry-level price and mid-range performance, depending on the game in question, and this is certainly the case with this build from Scan. The CPU is a couple of generations old and you only get 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, but for well shy of £900 you can't go wrong with this rig, provided 1080p or 1440p gaming is your main focus, and not AAA 4K gaming or heavy productivity.

Scan Gamer RTX Gaming PC| Ryzen 5 5500 | RTX 4070 | 16 GB DDR4-3600 | 1 TB SSD | £1,029.98 £999.98 at Scan (save £30)
The six-core, 12-thread CPU may be last-gen, and not the fastest one that AMD ever made, but this is still a very good deal for a powerful RTX 4070 machine. It sports dual channel DDR4-3600, which is rare to see in a simple pre-built, and you get a 1 TB SSD to load up with games.

CCL Horizon | Ryzen 7 5700X | RTX 4070 Super | 32 GB DDR4-3200 | 2 TB SSD | £1,399.99 £1,249.99 at CCL (save £150)
This Horizon PC from CCL is pretty damn cheap for a solid all-round RTX 4070 Super gaming PC, even if its CPU and RAM is decidedly previous-gen. The 5700X and 32 GB DDR4 combo should be more than enough to churn out frames in-game, and it should even be a decent enough performer for some moderate productivity tasks. Throw in 2 TB of storage and you have a fantastic deal.

Scan Performance| Ryzen 7 7700X | RTX 4070 Super | 16 GB DDR5-5200 | 1 TB SSD | £1,429.99 at Scan
The 7700X is a very speedy, if slightly hot running CPU, and here it gets a decent dose of DDR5 and an RTX 4070 Super to make friends with. That makes it an excellent upper mid-range machine at a good price with plenty of upgradeability, although I'd start off with sticking an extra 16 GB of RAM in when you get the chance.

This Cyberpower Luxe comes equipped with the fantastic Core i9 12900KF, in combination with an RTX 4080 Super that can churn through frames in any game. You also get a very fancy corner window case to show off those RGB-lit fans, making this PC a stunning looker with a serious gaming grunt to match.

3XS Gamer RTX | Core i7 14700K | RTX 4090 | 32 GB DDR5-5600 | 2 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD | £2,999.99 at Scan
You're probably thinking that this isn't much of a good deal but when RTX 4090 cards cost £2,000 on average, it looks a whole lot better. You're getting a very solid gaming CPU, the best gaming GPU, lots of speedy dual-channel RAM, and plenty of NVMe storage. This is about as fast a gaming machine as you can get your hands on, and even at £3,000, this is still a monster of a PC at a good price.
When is Black Friday 2024?
Black Friday 2024 is hitting November 29, this year, though we started to see discounts around the start of November as retailers put effort into making sure that people part with their cash as early as they can encourage it.
The main event, however, will be around that Thanksgiving Thursday and into Black Friday itself, with deals lasting throughout the weekend, and then into Cyber Monday and further on into Cyber Week. Essentially, it's not just one day, there will be shops fighting for your attention all around Black Friday itself.
What should I look for in a Black Friday gaming PC deal?
With all the system builders fighting between them for your cash, there are likely to be some tasty discounts all the way up and down the performance ladder. From high-end RTX 4090 systems all the way down to RTX 4060 machines for less than $900.
System builders such as iBuypower also have their own prebuilt systems that are ready to roll out of the shop quicker than custom designs. These iBuypower RDY systems can be with you in a matter of days, when other machines might take weeks, or even months to arrive. Basically, be aware that a custom machine may not arrive in time for Christmas.
Machines with last-gen GPUs just aren't as tempting as they were last year, either. At least not for the same money. All this last-gen kit doesn't just miraculously disappear though, retailers and system builders need to sell it to make some money back. And while there's nothing wrong with machines built around Zen 2, Intel 11th and 12th Gen CPUs, and Nvidia RTX 3080s if the price is right, make sure you don't pay over the odds being blinded by the rest of the spec.
As ever when hunting for bargains, focus on what you need, and don't be swayed to grab a bargain just because something's cheap.
Will prices drop any lower?
There are always reasons to hold off on making a new purchase whenever you are thinking about making one. Whether it's the potential for a new generation of techie goodness on the horizon—either cutting prices on existing models or delivering tangible higher performance—or because there might be an imminent sale like Black Friday looming.
When picking out gaming PC deals we take all of this into consideration, and where we think prices on something might significantly drop on the big day itself we simply won't recommend it. But all of the products here we either believe won't significantly drop much further in terms of their pricing, even over Cyber Monday or Cyber Week, or are just good deals that we wouldn't hesitate recommending if you wanted to make a purchase.
Many retailers have already dropped prices as low as they'll go for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales, and the likes of Newegg and Best Buy are offering their own kinds of price guarantees to give you some confidence in their current discounts.
