Lenovo Legion 5i Pro | i7 / 32GB RAM / 512GB SSD / RTX 3070 Ti GPU | AU$4,937.90 AU$1,999 at Lenovo eBay (save AU$2,938.90)

Here a great deal this Cyber Monday. The RTX 3070 Ti is a strong gaming GPU, while a 12700H and 32GB of RAM mean this is a unit you'll be able to use for years to come. That lovely 2560 x 1600 165Hz screen deserves a shoutout too. This unit was a lot more expensive a year back. Don't forget to add the BF20AU code to bring it down to its final AU$1,999 price

Lenovo Legion Pro 7i  (Gen 8)| i9 / 32GB / 1TB SSD / RTX 4070 | AU$4,279 AU$2,899 at Lenovo (save AU$1,380)

Here's a substantial AU$1,380 off a gaming lappy sporting some very attractive specs. There's a 13th Gen Intel Core i9 processor under the hood complimented by a powerful RTX 4070 GPU, with a 16 inch 2560x1600 WQXGA display with HDR 400 support. There's a big 1TB SSD in there too.

Dell G3223Q 32-inch 144Hz 4K Gaming Monitor | AU$599.50 at Dell

This high quality 32-inch Dell is a super affordable way to upgrade to 4K gaming. It's got a fast-IPS panel with good color reproduction, HDR, a 1ms response time, and a 144Hz refresh rate with AMD FreeSync Premium, G-Sync compatible and console support. It's got a good selection of ports too including dual HDMI 2.1 and 5Gbps USB with power delivery. That's a whole lot for under $600.

Corsair MP600 Pro LPX 2TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD with heatsink | AU$254 AU$189 at Amazon  (save AU$65)

As some games cross the 200GB threshold, the need for a bigger SSD becomes critical. This Corsair MP600 2TB drive is a great option for housing an ever-growing game library. It's got a heatsink too, so it's PS5 compatible and of course it's a good option for PC motherboards that don't have integrated heatsinks.

Western Digital Black SN850X 2TB NVMe SSD | AU289  AU$205.85 at Amazon  (save AU$83.15)

The Western Digital SN850X sits atop our list of favourite NVMe SSDs. At its original launch price it was already a very good SSD, but now that you can grab the 2TB version for 190 bucks, it becomes even better. Do note that this is the heatsink-less version so you'll need some kind of integrated motherboard cooling, even though its far from the hottest running drive you'll come across.

Intel Core i7 12700K 12-core CPU | AU$495 AU$374.59 at Amazon (save AU$120.41)

The i7 12700K is a fantastic gaming choice at this price and it doesn't require a high end cooler as most recent i9s do. Don't worry that this is 'only' a 12th Gen model. When it comes to gaming, you won't lose much at all compared to the fundamentally similar 13th and 14th Gen i7 models, though the newer chips do include more efficiency cores, making them preferable for heavily threaded creative apps.

Asus Radeon RX 6600 Dual V2 8GB Graphics Card | AU$349 AU$295 at Mwave (save AU$54)

Graphics cards bargains haven't been easy to find over the last few years, but this Asus Radeon RX 6600 isn't bad at all. If you're trying to game on a card that's a few years old, an RX 6600 is a good way to add some graphics grunt, especially if you are planning to get some quality game time in over the Christmas holidays.

Secretlab Titan 2020 Napa Leather AU$1,239 AU$909 at Secretlab (save AU$330)

Secretlab chairs consistently sit near the top of our list of favorite gaming chairs. This one comes with luxurious leather upholstery and of course, Secretlab's renowned neck and back ergonomic support. Sure, you'll find cheaper gaming chairs, but few offer the comfort and feel of this particular one. Your butt and back will thank you for it.

Corsair M65 RGB Ultra wireless gaming mouse | AU$239 AU$159 at Amazon
Available in both black and white varieties, this wirreless gaming mouse boasts what Corsair calls "sub-1ms Slipstream Wireless Technology, which is a fancy way of claiming it basically has no latency. Battery life is tremendous at 120 hours, and 26,000 DPI should result in razor sharp accuracy. This one is geared towards first-person shooter players. The wired version is also available with a big 30% discount, dropping from AU$119 to AU$83.

HyperX Cloud II | AU$159 AU$98.90 at Amazon
While lately usurped by the Cloud III, HyperX's no-frills Cloud II is still a great 'n' functional headset for those who don't want to take a mortgage out on good gaming audio. You'd be a bit crazy to buy this at RRP at the moment (it tends to go for around AU$110) but if you're after one of the more ubiquitous and respected wired budget gaming headsets, this is a decent 38% discount.

Logitech G512 Carbon Lightsync RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard AU$200 AU$98 at Amazon (save AU$102)

The G512 has been around a while, but a good keyboard is a good keyboard. The Logitech G512 Carbon Lightsync features GX Brown switches for those that prefer tactile feedback. It's made of anodized aluminium and it's got full RGB lighting. It's over 50% this Black Friday weekend, and at under a hundred bucks, it'd make a great Christmas present. 

HyperX QuadCast S | AU$299 AU$198 at Amazon
This takes the medal for best looking streaming microphone in our list of the best. Of course, "best looking" rests on your enthusiasm for RGB, but lets not get caught up in aesthetics: this thing is also a very good mic in all the more important and functional ways. It has a built-in shockmount, four polar patterns, and a crisp 16-bit 48kHz recording sample rate.
