Black Friday gaming PC deals 2024: The best offers available now
Black Friday gaming PC deals are already underway - here are the ones you shouldn't wait to buy
Black Friday gaming PC deals are almost here for the big day itself. Yet, plenty of deals have been going live (and getting sold out) in the run up to Thanksgiving and Black Friday after it, meaning even now it's still a huge time to get some great deals. So far, we've seen savings of hundreds of dollars on high-end rigs, and loads of deep discounts on budget entry-level ones. Take a look around, and there are plenty of options for either upgrading your ancient system, or taking your first steps into the gaming PC space. After all, it's a fantastic way to play some of the most cutting-edge games on the market, and plenty of games that don't even come to consoles right away.
Black Friday gaming deals give you the chance to get the PC specs you've been dying for and get them a little cheaper than you would normally. With so many viable components on the shelves this year, there are great offers to be had up and down the price range. There are amazing DDR5 machines below a grand, there are 4070 builds for under $,1500, and huge discounts to high-end 4080 machines for the 4K bargain-hunters out there. Now that we're within touching distance of Black Friday itself, we wouldn't recommend waiting too long for continued price drops. These can sometimes happen, but with prices as good as they are now, my main concern would be getting ahead of stock shortages.
The land of the best gaming PCs is prone to change from year to year, but in 2024 it feels like an amazing time to buy. By all accounts, the RTX 50 Series is on the way, which means RTX 40 Series machines are at an all-time low and are still so worth buying. We've scouted out the best offers down below, and split them up by price range and region. Let's get stuck in!

Budget-friendly gaming PC deals ($700-$1,100)
Yeyian Yumi | $1,199.99 $699.99 at Newegg
Save $500 - This build is one of our go-to recommendations when checking for some PC deals. For a long time, it was rocking its Prime Day price of $749, but it's just dropped another $50 to bring it to an excellently affordable price.
Specs: Intel Core i5-12400F, Nvidia RTX 4060, 1TB SSD, 16GB of DDR4
Buy it if:
✅ You want modern specs on a budget
✅ You want DDR5 compatibility
✅ 1TB is enough for you
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want DDR5 out of the box
❌ You want to play in 4K max settings
iBUYPOWER Slate 6 Mesh + Assassin's Creed Shadows | $1,199.99 $699.99 at Walmart
Save $500 - Basically a very similar deal to the above. Specs like these are your best value budget rigs. Yet, this just about outclasses it thanks to a smidge better CPU, and that all-important DDR5 as opposed to DDR4. Plus, you can't grumble at getting a copy of Assassin's Creed Shadows to play next February, either.
Specs: Intel Core i5-13600K, Nvidia RTX 4060, 1TB SSD, 16GB of DDR5
Buy it if:
✅ You want to enter the RTX 40-gen on a budget
✅ You want DDR5 out of the box
✅ You'll be buying Assassin's Creed Shadows anyway
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want a better GPU
❌ You want more storage immediately
AOCE Gaming PC | $1,599.99 $758.99 at Newegg
Save $841 - I'm not sure how much stock I'd put in this rig's original price, because for an RTX 4060 build with DDR4 in it, that's a slightly silly price. Still, for budget buyers who want to prioritize more RAM for a DDR4 build, this is good value. The price has just dropped another $20 or so, too.
Specs: Intel Core i5-12400F, Nvidia RTX 4060, 1TB SSD, 32GB of DDR4
Buy it if:
✅ You want a plentiful DDR4 machine
✅ You'd like a smaller chassis
✅ You want a DDR5-ready motherboard
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want DDR5 memory out of the box
❌ You don't need 32GB of RAM
Thermaltake LCGS Quartz i460 R4 | $899.99 $799.99 at Amazon
Save $100 - Packing an RTX 4060 and a 13th Gen processor, this build is nice and futureproofed for the money. Its 1TB of NVMe SSD storage is nothing to sniff at either. Ideally, you'd want to upgrade the RAM to DDR5, since the motherboard will allow for it, but this will do for now.
Specs: Intel Core i5-13400F, Nvidia RTX 4060, 1TB SSD, 16GB of DDR4
Buy it if:
✅ You want an up-to-date processor
✅ You want DDR5 compatibility
✅ DLSS is a big draw
Don't buy it if:
❌ You need faster RAM straight away
❌ You need more storage space
CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme | $999.99 $799.99 at Best Buy
Save $200 - If you'd like an even more up-to-date processor and you aren't looking for an all-white build, this is a nice entry-level PC that will be very capable indeed. You also won't need to worry about upgrading the RAM, as it's already DDR5.
Specs: Intel Core i5-14400F, Nvidia RTX 4060, 1TB SSD, 16GB of DDR5
Buy it if:
✅ You want an up-to-date processor
✅ DDR5 is important to you
✅ You're mainly targeting 1080p or 1440p
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want liquid cooling
❌ You want a smaller case
iBUYPOWER RDY Slate 6 Mesh | $1,199 $699 at Walmart
Save $500 - We said this was a great deal when it only had $200 knocked off the price. With a massive additional saving now available, this is easily one of the best deals on iBUYPOWER you'll find. Sure, the i5-13600K is an older model you won't find in many pre-builts these days, but it still holds its own and everything else in the package is very up-to-date.
Specs: Intel Core i5-13600KF, Nvidia RTX 4060, 1TB SSD, 16GB of DDR5
Buy it if:
✅ You need a mouse and keyboard too
✅ You only need an RTX 4060
✅ You want liquid cooling
Don't buy it if:
❌ You need more memory
❌ You want a faster SSD
❌ You want a newer CPU
MSI Codex R2 Gaming Desktop with mouse and keyboard | $1,199 $999.99 at Walmart
Save $200 - It's not the biggest discount in the world, but this is a solid starter rig that even comes with a mouse and keyboard. The RTX 4060 Ti is a big enough upgrade to the base model to be worthwhile, as is the DDR5 RAM and the faster CPU. If this fits your budget, you won't be disappointed.
Specs: Intel Core i5-14400F, Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti, 1TB SSD, 16GB of DDR5
Buy it if:
✅ A mouse and keyboarded are pluses
✅ You want more power than the RTX 4060
✅ You need DDR5 immediately
Don't buy it if:
❌ You'd rather upgrade to an RTX 4070 or beyond for a bit more money
❌ You don't want to have to add more RAM
CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme | $1,249.99 $1,089.99 at Newegg
Save $160 - This is another super-charged budget buy. For your money, you get a solid processor, an RTX 4060 Ti, and 2TB of storage. Not bad when the equivalent iBUYPOWER build is usually a bit more expensive.
Specs: Intel Core i7-14700F, Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti, 2TB SSD, 16GB of DDR5
Buy it if:
✅ You want an RTX 4060 Ti
✅ You need the 2TB of space
✅ You want a transparent case to show off RGB components
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want liquid cooling
❌ You want a more powerful GPU
Mid-range gaming PC deals ($1,100-$1,600)
ABS Cyclone Aqua Gaming PC | $1,799.99 $1,109.99 at Newegg
Save $690 - Fair warning – at time of writing this is on Backorder so stock can't be guaranteed. But that does speak to this being a fab deal. With a 14th-generation i7 processor and 4060 Ti GPU combo, the 32GB of DDR5 is a cherry on top making for superb value for what you're getting. While the original price seems overpriced to us, this discounted price makes it a great buy for what you're spending.
Specs: Intel Core i7-14700F, Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti, 1TB SSD, 32GB of DDR5
Buy it if:
✅ You want an up-to-date processor
✅ You want lots of RAM
✅ You're okay with air cooling
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want to play city builders at 4K max settings
HP Omen 25L | $1,499.99 $1,179.99 at HP
Save $320 - For this price, you might expect to see a 4060 Ti or even 4070 GPU, but it's the processor driving the value here, with a 14th Gen i7 adding some versatility. If you can juggle an upgrade down the line, this is a solid get for the long-run.
Specs: Intel Core i7-14700F, Nvidia RTX 4060, 1TB SSD, 16GB of DDR5
Buy it if:
✅ You'd like great RAM and storage components
✅ You need a great CPU
✅ You have a white setup
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want more GPU for the money
T-1 Pro Mini Gaming PC | $1,699 $1,274.25 at Amazon
Save 25% - Looking for something that can sit on your desk but will tuck away nicely and be easily portable when needed? This is a great discount on this tiny PC that packs a formidable CPU, plenty of storage and RAM, and the solid RTX 4060 Mobile GPU. This deal takes it way below its doubled-up memory equivalent making this much better value for money. And, yes, this offer applies to the swish gray and white models as well as the black!
Specs: Intel i9-13900HK, Nvidia RTX 4060 Mobile, 1TB SSD, 32GB of DDR5 RAM
Buy it if:
✅ You want a small form factor
✅ Fast DDR5 RAM is appealing
✅ Colour options are what you want
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want a more powerful, non-mobile GPU
ABS Cyclone Ruby | $1,699.99 $1,349.99 at Newegg
Save $350 - This is another great Newegg deal on Backorder, which means purchases are dependent on them getting more in. This is similar to the ABS Cyclone Aqua above, but this Ruby version holds an RTX 4070 Super inside it and gives you more bang for your buck across the whole motherboard. This is the cheapest we've seen an RTX 4070 Super build going for this Black Friday, so keep that in mind.
Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, Nvidia RTX 4070 Super, 1TB SSD, 32GB of DDR5
Buy it if:
✅ You'd like a 1440p gem, or a 4K60 competitor
✅ You want one of the best p4p deals we've seen this year
✅ You want an AMD processor
Don't buy it if:
❌ You can afford to upgrade to an RTX 4070 Ti Super or above
iBUYPOWER RDY Slate MP 003 | $1,499 $1,199 at iBUYPOWER
Save $300 - Missed this great deal earlier in the week? Well now it's back and $50 cheaper! An RTX 4060 Ti and 14th gen i7 run the show here, and give you some pretty decent value for money from iBUYPOWER. We're actually reviewing this PC as we speak. Is recommending this deal a spoiler for that review? We'll let you decide.
Specs: Intel Core i7-14700F, Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti, 1TB SSD, 16GB of DDR5
Buy it if:
✅ You want an up-to-date processor
✅ You want 1440p and 4K potential
✅ You don't mind air-cooled PCs
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want a higher-end GPU
❌ You want a faster SSD
Lenovo Legion Tower 5 Gen 8 | $2,079.99 $1,499.99 at Lenovo
Save $580 - One of the better deals in the Black Friday period for an RTX 4070 Super so far. Effectively this makes it one of the best value mid-range builds we've seen, and Lenovo is aways a solid brand to go with. The 8-core CPU is definitely a bonus as well.
Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 7700 Processor, Nvidia RTX 4070 Super, 1TB SSD, 16GB of DDR5
Buy it if:
✅ You want 1440p and 4K potential
✅ You'd like DDR5 out of the box
✅ 1TB of storage is enough
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want liquid cooling
❌ You're holding out for an RTX 4070 Ti super or beyond
High-end gaming PCs ($1,600 and up)
ABS Kaze Ruby + Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2, Unknown 9: Awakening | $2,399.99 $1,949.99 at Newegg
Save $450 - Like a lot of Newegg's best deals this season, it's already on Backorder meaning you can buy but won't be guaranteed stock. Still, you get an awful lot for your money here. An RTX 4080 Super build rarely drops below $2,000, but throw in one of the year's best games in the form of Space Marine 2 for no extra cost? Lovely stuff. The RTX 4080 Super is a massive step up from the RTX 4070 Super.
Specs: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD, ABS 1000W Gold PSU, MSI B650-VC V2 DDR5 Motherboard
Buy it if:
✅ You want top-drawer gaming power
✅ You're okay with air-cooling
✅ You haven't bought Space Marine 2 yet
Don't buy it if:
❌ You'd rather wait for the RTX 50 Series
❌ You don't have a 4K setup
Corsair Vengeance i7400 Gaming PC | $2,299.99 $1,899.99 at Amazon
Save $400 - As far as we're concerned, deals on RTX 4070 Ti Super graphics cards can be very good value for money. A big upgrade to the RTX 4070 Super (the naming system is confusing for the 40 series), it's a powerful unit. Plus, this has some great DDR5 RAM, and an excellent CPU. There's a more expensive, slightly fancier model past the $2k mark as well. Buy now, as it's low stock!
Specs: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super, Intel Core i5-13600KF, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD
Buy it if:
✅ The RTX 4070 Ti Super suits your needs
✅ You like buying Corsair parts
✅ Liquid cooling is what you want
Don't buy it if:
❌ You simply must have an RTX 4080
❌ You want more storage out of the box
Skytech King 95 Gaming PC | $2,299.99 $1,949.99 at Newegg
Save $350 - This was one of our favorite deals earlier in the week until it went out of stock... but now it's back! You don't get an RTX 4080 in this high-end build, but the RTX 4070 Ti Super is deceptively a big step up from the RTX 407 Super. Plus, you get the most recent generation of Ryzen 7 processor. And, if we're honest, this is a gorgeous transparent case with loads of glowing colours (and liquid cooling!).
Specs: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super, AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, 2TB SSD, ABS 850W Gold PSU
Buy it if:
✅ You want an up-to-date processor
✅ You like liquid cooling
✅ The RTX 4070 Ti Super is enough for you
Don't buy it if:
❌ You'd rather pay this much and get an RTX 4080
❌ You're building a black gaming setup
Cobratype Mamba Gaming PC | $2,799.99 $2,349.99 at Newegg
Save $450 - This is a little pricier than other 4080 Super builds we're seeing for Black Friday, but you pay extra for the live thermal monitoring features which will let you keep a laser-focused eye on your temperatures. It's also a blissfully powerful gaming rig.
Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 4080 Super, 2TB SSD, 64GB of DDR5 RAM
Buy it if:
✅ You're obsessed with your PC's temperatures
✅ You want a white build
✅ You're gunning for 4K
Don't buy it if:
❌ You just want an affordable 4080 build
❌ You don't think the temperature monitoring features are worth it
Alienware Aurora R16 | $3,299.99 $2,999.99 at Dell
Save $1,000 - Here's one for the lucky folks out there who have no end to their budgets. This is an RTX 4090 build, which explains the price. Also playing a supporting role is a lightning fast 24-core CPU, 64GB of DDR5, and a 2TB SSD.
Specs: Intel Core i9 14900KF, Nvidia RTX 4090, 64GB of DDR5 RAM, 2TB SSD
Buy it if:
✅ You want endless 4K performance
✅ You want a more normal-shaped Alienware PC
✅ You want to stay future-proofed
Don't buy it if:
❌ You don't need all that power
❌ You aren't a fan of proprietary blockages
Black Friday gaming PC deals: FAQs
Black Friday gaming PC deals 2023: What to expect
Black Friday gaming PC deals in 2024 will no doubt be a brilliant chance to upgrade to a DDR5-compatible machine if you haven't already, or secure some component upgrades. During the summer Prime Day sale this year, we saw plenty of viable DDR5 systems discounted down to as low as $800, which bodes well for November. Especially since a new generation of AMD processors have launched this year, and Intel has had an instability crisis to deal with, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some really affordable prices for the most recent generations of CPUs, and inside prebuilt rigs, I reckon they'll be very affordable.
Graphics cards could be an interesting one, especially since it seems like the next generation from Nvidia and AMD are right around the corner. DDR5 RAM will be at its best price throughout the year for sure, so if you're buying parts separately, or just trying to give your current build an efficiency boost, Black Friday will likely be a great time to shop.
Storage devices, I hope, will go down to the affordable prices we saw them at before Black Friday last year. It's been a tough year for recommending SSDs because although they can offer one of the strongest quality-of-life bonuses for any gaming PC, they've cost substantially more than they did. If you've been waiting for NVMe drives to drop in price, you should have your eyes fixed on Black Friday.
Of course, there's also the handheld market to think about, and with so many handheld gaming PCs entering the fold this year, it'd be wild not to see any of them drop in price over the biggest sales period of the calendar year.
When will Black Friday gaming PC deals start?
Black Friday officially falls on November 29 this year, which means Black Friday gaming PC deals will roughly start appearing the week or so before. Cyber Monday will no doubt have its place, but the best deals, steepest discounts, and most secure stock levels always come from Black Friday.
Where to get the best Black Friday gaming PC deals?
When it comes to the best Black Friday gaming PC deals, Newegg, Best Buy, Overclockers, and eBuyer are the ones to watch. We have seen that Dell has some deep discounts on their high-end Alienware rigs (namely the Alienware Aurora R13 and R14 in 2022), but the big retailers are always a safe bet as well. Amazon is a given, although we found that their deals weren't as plentiful or powerful as the first four we mentioned. In the UK, Box is another one to watch.
US:
Amazon: Fair prices on boutique built and branded prebuilt gaming PCs
Dell: Regularly has some of the best-value deals on Alienware Aurora builds
Best Buy: Low starting prices on iBuyPower, HP, and Lenovo rigs
Walmart: Competitive prices on all the major brands with the newest GPUs
Newegg: Big savings on ABS Legend and Gladiator gaming PCs
UK:
Amazon: savings on Admi, Vibox, CyberPowerPC, and more
Currys: Few deals but competitive prices on high-end gaming PC builds
Overclockers: Low starting prices for OcUK custom gaming PCs
eBuyer: Decent savings to be made on AlphaSync boutique builds
Very: Savings on PC Specialist, Zoostrom, and MSI gaming rigs
BOX: A high number of discounts on a massive range of gaming PCs
Should you wait for Black Friday gaming PC deals?
Given what we’ve seen in recent years, prebuilt gaming PCs see their biggest price reductions around Black Friday. According to the 2023 Adobe holiday shopping report, computers saw up to a 23% reduction across the board in the UK in the middle of November. By a fair margin, the lowest prices in both the US and UK are seen during this period, right when Black Friday always hits.
Unless it’s an absolute emergency, we’d strongly advise you to wait to buy a gaming PC during Black Friday week. This is especially true if you’re looking at the higher end of the specs scale, or at PCs that include RTX 30 series GPUs.
Is it cheaper to build a gaming PC or buy one in 2024?
In the short term, buying a gaming PC will definitely work out cheaper - especially around Black Friday. PC components, especially ones that are geared at the gaming market, are undeniably expensive. For example, an RTX 3050 graphics card is on the entry-level end of the 30 series (last generation). That component alone will set you back between $200 and $300. When you look at prebuilt gaming PCs, you can get pretty decent entry-level options for between $550 and $750 (£700-£1000 in the UK), especially during Black Friday.
In the long run, building your PC can work out cheaper, but especially if you’re looking for your first gaming PC, we’d suggest paying more attention to the prebuilt market. If building is the road you choose to take, you can find great Black Friday CPU deals and amazing Black Friday SSD deals too.
No matter which route you take, we'd sure you to think about futureprofing. DDR5 and Gen 5 SSDs will start to become a lot more common in the years to come, and if you want something that you'll be able to upgrade down the line, you need to ensure you're set up with a motherboard that can harness those components.
If you're looking to upgrade your gaming set up in other ways this Black Friday, why not check out our Black Friday gaming chair deals page, or our Black Friday Secret Labs deals roundup.
You can also find all the best deals for these this sales season, in the Black Friday CPU deals, Black Friday graphics cards deals, and Black Friday SSD deals.

One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had two hands. Ever since I've been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my own YouTube channel about my love of games too. These days, I'm one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension. Location: UK Remote
