Black Friday gaming PC deals offer a fantastic opportunity to go shopping for a new desktop. The trouble is, there are actually too many discounts on prebuilt gaming PCs at this time of year, and it can be really tricky to know which is the best one for you. More than that, stock can disappear out of nowhere, and you can be left wanting your dream PC that's already disappeared.

I've been reviewing the best gaming PCs and covering their deals for four Black Fridays in a row now. That means I have a pretty good idea where to look for deals, and what configuration of parts is actually worth the money that's being charged. As someone who has always struggled to afford pricey tech, I'm going to be leaning into the best PCs available under $1,000, but that doesn't mean I don't have my eye on the high-end rigs too. I love being able to channel 4K performance in PC gaming, so when I spot deals on RX 9070 XT or RTX 5080 gaming PCs, I'll be shouting from the rooftops.

So here's the plan. I'll be scouring the digital shelves of the biggest retailers and looking for any and all gaming PC deals I think are good enough for you to spend your hard-earned cash on. When I find one, I'll be updating you with live posts nearer the bottom of the page. To save you scrolling, I'll put a list of the best offers I find right below here.

This is my fourth year running and I'm covering gaming PC deals during Black Friday, and between each stint, I've been reviewing and covering all sorts of gaming PCs and their components. I know how big an investment this type of tech is for most people, and I also know how rewarding it is to finally put your savings into something you've really been looking forward to. For that reason, I'll be hunting for the very best deals possible and trying to make sure your money goes the furthest it can.

The best Black Friday gaming PC deals

For starters, here's one PC for each tier of graphics card that I think is the best offer going in that category. For example, the first is an RTX 5060 build, the next is an RTX 5060 Ti build, and then 5070 and so on. Most of these will be the absolute cheapest offers I can find for PCs housing these cards, but some of them may balance price with specs or brand, or maybe even bonuses that are bundled in.

CyberPowerPC Gamer Master | $979.99 $799.99 at WalmartSave $180 - I've had my eye on this gaming PC for a few weeks now, since it's consistently been the cheapest RTX 5060 build worth grabbing. We reviewed a CyberPowerPC build this year (albeit a UK custom configuration), and this is one of the most consistent manufacturers going. Besides its GPU, you also get an AMD CPU and motherboard, which is better value right now, in my opinion.

Specs: AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, Nvidia RTX 5060, 1TB SSD, 16GB of DDR5

Buy it if:

✅ You want modern specs on a budget✅ You want a mouse and keyboard✅ You don't mind a darker case

Don't buy it if:❌ You want to see if 5060 machines get cheaper this month

UK Equivalent: £848 at Very

Ningmei Gaming Desktop | $2,099.99 $1,069.99 at NeweggSave $1,030 - Okay, so I'm not so sure about the full price that's being listed for this machine. It's a good PC, but I'm not sure its full cost ever should have been over two grand. Thankfully, its price as a 5060 Ti build right now is great, and that's sort of all that matters. You also get an AIO cooler, which is a bonus at this price range. Newegg will offer a $55 promotional gift card here too, and I love a perk.

Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti, 1TB SSD, 32GB of DDR4

Buy it if:

✅ You want an RTX 5060 Ti on a budget✅ You want quiet cooling✅ You don't mind DDR4

Don't buy it if:❌ You want DDR5 RAM out of the box

UK Equivalent: £969.99 at AWD-IT

Andromeda Insights Advanced Ultimate Budget Gaming PC | $1,499.99 $1,299.99 at NeweggSave $200 - This is a builder I'm not so familiar with, but it's offering one of the best all-round deals on an RTX 5070 PC I've found. In particular, getting 32GB of DDR5 is strong, but it is a shame you don't get an AIO cooler for your trouble. If you'd be more comfortable going for a better-known brand, check out this ABS Cyclone Aqua

Specs: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, RTX 5070, 1TB SSD, 32GB of DDR5

Buy it if:

✅ You want the cheapest RTX 5070 build✅ You're okay with a lesser-known brand✅ You want an AMD motherboard and CPU

Don't buy it if:

❌ You'd rather go with a better-known brand

UK Equivalent: £1,449 at Currys

CyberPowerPC Gaming Desktop | $1,879.99 $1,674.99 at NeweggSave $205 - It's been hard to find RX 9070 XT gaming PCs going for any cheaper than $1,800, and in fact, it's been hard to find them at all when this has been one of the most popular GPUs of 2025. I love this deal, mainly because it combines this in-demand graphics card with arguably the best CPU for gaming, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.

Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RX 9070 XT, 2TB SSD, 32GB of DDR5

Buy it if:

✅ You want organic 4K power✅ You need a good CPU✅ You want an AIO cooler

Don't buy it if:

❌ You'd like DLSS

UK Equivalent: £1,399 at Very

Alienware Aurora RTX 5070 Ti gaming PC | $2,129.99 $1,664.99 at DellSave $465 - I wouldn't usually point you toward Alienware for the best deals, but to be honest with you, this is a surprisingly reasonable price for an RTX 5070 Ti build. It's on par with other brands, and since Alienware is usually the most expensive by a mile, that's a good opportunity to grab a PC for less than usual.

Specs: Intel Core Ultra 7 265F | RTX 5070 Ti | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD

Buy it if:

✅ You want an Alienware PC✅ You aren't looking for the absolute cheapest 5070 Ti build✅ You want a premium feel

Don't buy it if:

❌ You have reservations about this brand's futureproofing and proprietary parts

UK Equivalent: £1,699.98 at Scan

ABS Stratos Ruby | $2,699.99 $2,299.99 at NeweggSave $400 - And rounding things out, we have an RTX 5080 build coming straight from Newegg's own range of prebuilt PCs. This is cheaper than I'm seeing for any other RTX 5080 machines, and it's the one to go for it you want no compromise to 4K performance.

Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RTX 5080, 2TB SSD, 32GB of DDR5

Buy it if:

✅ You want a high-end machine✅ You're not on a tight budget✅ You've got 4K max settings ambitions

Don't buy it if:

❌ You only really need the RX 9070 XT

UK Equivalent: £2,399.99 at Scan

Here's a great RTX 5070 build from Lenovo

(Image credit: Future)

If you'd feel more secure buying from a well-known brand, ones like Lenovo and HP can be go-to sources for Black Friday deals.

Lenovo has a really great offer here at Best Buy, which combines an RTX 5070 and one of the best gaming CPUs money can buy, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

I like this deal because I've been watching RTX 5070 PCs sit at $1,449 at the very lowest all year, and this comfortably falls under that. But you are also getting a really excellent gaming processor, which isn't always the case with Black Friday prebuilds. You also get 32GB of DDR5 RAM.

Some deals are sneaky like this...

(Image credit: Future)

Okay, so if you haven't heard, RAM is seeing a massive price spike at the moment, and it's all AI's fault. RAM, both DDR4 and DDR5, is extortionate right now compared to even a few months ago, and one of the few ways to get it slightly cheaper is to grab it as part of a prebuilt PC.

This first deal is a lesson to be wary of. A lot of retailers might want to cut costs and put DDR4 RAM in their machines, but they won't directly highlight that in the title of the product. Like here, in this AOCE gaming PC, which houses an RTX 5060 and "32GB of RAM".

How helpfully vague.

When you dig deeper, it has 32GB of DDR4, and what's maybe worse is that it's touting a current-gen RTX 5060 GPU on an older AMD motherboard that actually isn't going to be DDR5 compatible. That means this build isn't very futureproofed, but it does have an up-to-date graphics card. I'd recommend this build due to its low price, but when there are futureproofed builds going for similar prices, that's hard to ignore. Still, I'll let you be the judge.

Hello there!

Well hey! I think it's just about time we get rolling with some live updates.

I'm going to hit the shelves now, and see what offers may be hiding that I haven't seen already. Until then, take a look at the highlighted deals above.

For context, I'm going to be mainly pulling offers from the tried and tested retailers I used year-round for PC deals. That list almost always begins with Newegg, but includes Best Buy, Walmart, and then Amazon (probably in that order).

I may pull a few deals from first-party stores like Maingear, NZXT, or Alienware too, it just depends on what offers they have compared to the larger pools at the bigger retailers.

Let's make a start.
