Free Gigabyte M28U monitor with select Aero laptop purchases
With purchases of select Gigabyte Aero laptops between November 21 and December 31, you can also nab a Gigabyte M28U 4K monitor, which is no small thing: in our list of the best gaming monitors it's listed as "the best affordable 4K monitor", but it'll still set you back a grand at RRP. This deal applies to the following models: Aero 17 XE5 and YE5, and Aero 16 KE4, XE4, XE5 and YE5. And what would you know!

Lenovo Legion 5i (Gen 7) |15.6-in, i7, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) | AU$4,499 AU$2,699 at Lenovo (save AU$1,800)
This is one of the better Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals. Lenovo has knocked 40% off of the price of this powerful machine with its Core i7-12700H and RTX 3070 GPU. It's hardly lacking in other areas with 32GB of RAM a 1TB SSD and a 165Hz 1440p IPS screen. Enter the CYBER22 code at the Lenovo webstore to get the discount.
MSI Stealth 15M Gaming Laptop (15.6-in, i7-1280P, RTX 3060, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) | AU$2,529 AU$1,949 (save AU$580)
This MSI gaming laptop sits in a nice sweet spot for performance and value for money. A 12th Gen i7 and RTX 3060 will deliver good gaming performance, and the IPS 1080p 144Hz screen will deliver colour accuracy and smooth gameplay. Weighing in at a backpack friendly 1.8KG, it will happily double as a daily driver for work or study too.
Alienware M15 R7 Gaming Laptop | Ryzen 9 / RTX 3080 Ti / 32GB / 1TB |AU$5,798 AU$4,638 at Dell
Enjoy AU$1,160 off this absolute beast of a gaming laptop, which is kitted out to its 240Hz eyeballs. This will compete very favourably to most desktops out in the wild, except you can shove this into a backpack and go about your business with it. We really do live in a bizarre future.
Razer Blade 14 (6900HX, 16GB, 1TB, RTX 3070 Ti) AU$4,499 AU$2,999 at Amazon
The Razer Blade 14 remains one of the best lightweight gaming laptops. It comes with a fast CPU, GPU and a lovely screen. Blade laptops carry a premium price but when you knock AU$1,500 off the price, it becomes harder to resist.
Gigabyte Aero 16 YE5 (i9-12900HK, RTX 3080 Ti, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) | AU$7,399 AU$4,999 at Scorptec
This is an extremely pricey piece of kit at RRP, and while AU$5,000 is still a lot to pay for a laptop—even this highly spec'ed—these Aeros really are impressive. Specs listed above aside, it's the UHD+ OLED display that does a lot of talking, especially given the 16 inch display size and ultra-thin bezels. Like the model above, this is pitched as much to creators as to gamers.
Gigabyte Aero 16 XE4 silver (i7-12700H, RTX 3070 Ti, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) | AU$4,599 AU$3,599 at Mwave
A tidy grand off this well-spec-ed and very aesthetically pleasing gaming lappy. It boasts an UHD+ OLED display with a generous 16 inches of real estate, VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black certification, and a virtually non-existent bezel. This is as much a laptop for creators as it is for gamers, so if you happen to reside within both those niches, this is a PC well worth investigation.
Gigabyte Aero 16 KE4 (i7 / RTX 3060 / 16GB RAM / 1TB SSD) | AU$3,779 AU$2,799 at PC Case Gear
This is a good price for a gaming laptop with a beautiful 3840x2400 Samsung AMOLED display, which has VESA DisplayHDR 500. These are truly classy pieces of kit, and this is a great discounted price for a laptop that will hold you in good stead for work just as well as play.
MSI Creator Z16 Hiroshi Fujiwara | (i7, 16GB RAM, RTX 3060) | AU$3,999 AU$2,699
Here's AU$1,300 off a special edition MSI, which is really well spec'ed for this price point. An i7-11800H, 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD with an RTX 3060Q make this a laptop as well suited for work as for gaming, though it's the 165Hz Mini LED display that does all the talking.
MSI Creator Z16P B12UGST | (i7, 16GB RAM, RTX 3070 Ti) | AU$4,999 AU$3,999
A full grand off this powerful laptop, which is marketed to creators but will do just great for gaming as well. This one boasts a 12th Gen i7 processor, 16GB of DDR5 memory and an RTX 3070 Ti graphics card.
MSI Vector GP66 12UGSO| i7, 16GB RAM, RTX 3070 Ti at Scorptec | AU$3,499 AU$2,899
Enjoy AU$600 off this MSI Katana GP66, which offers a 12th Gen i7 CPU and RTX 3070 Ti graphics card, combined with a 165Hz QHD IPS screen and lots of connectivity potential. Oh, and it's not too heavy either, weighing in at just 2.38kg.
MSI Katana GF76 12UE| (i7, 16GB RAM, RTX 3060) | AU$2,699 AU$1,999 at Capitol Computer
Save AU$700 on this rather swol gaming laptop, which offers a sizeable 17.3 inch IPS screen with a fluid 144Hz refresh rate. It's also rocking a powerful 12th Gen i7-12700H processor with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB PCIe SSD.
MSI Crosshair 15| i7, 8GB RAM, RTX 3060 | AU$3,099 AU$2,324 at JB Hi-Fi
Here's a generous AU$775 off this suave gaming laptop, which really takes the gamer aesthetic to new levels. The Crosshair 15 packs in a Core i7-12700H that puts many desktop CPUs to shame. Add to that an RTX 3060 GPU, 8GB of RAM (upgradeable) and a 1TB SSD and you've got a powerful (and very unique looking) piece of kit.
Cyber Monday office laptop deals
HP ENVY x360 2-in-1 13-ay1002AU (13.3-in, Ryzen 5 5600U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) | AU$1,499 AU$999 at HP (save AU$500)
This HP 2-in-1 offers a lot of versatility for under a grand. It offers a decent spec including a Ryzen 5 5600U six core processor and PCIe SSD. But its design is what's truly appealing here. It's a light weight at just 1.3KG with an anodized aluminium finish, convertible form factor and touch screen support. HP has dropped a third off the price, saving you $500.
Lenovo ThinkBook 16p G2 ACH (16-in, Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3060, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) | AU$2,670 AU$1,699 at Lenovo (save AU$971)
Save nearly a grand on this lovely Lenovo. It's got a powerful Ryzen 7 5800H processor and RTX 3060 graphics, so it'd make an excellent gamer or work machine. It's rugged aluminium construction, 2KG weight and 100% sRGB 2560x1600 screen make this a classy allrounder.
Cyber Monday CPU deals
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6 Core/12 Thread Socket AM5 processor - AU$399 at Amazon
AMD's Ryzen 5 7600X processor is a great option if you're looking for an affordable current generation CPU without spending big bucks. It's easy to cool, it's power thrifty and just $399, it's well over $100 cheaper than it was just a month back. It'll let you divert your gaming dollars towards a high end graphics card, which the 7600X will drive with ease.
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 6 Core Socket AM4 CPU | AU$399 AU$199 at Mwave (save AU$200)
This affordable AMD CPU comes with strong integrated graphics, making it a compelling option if you play older games or those that don't require a powerful and expensive graphics card. Its six cores offer decent general purpose performance, it sips power, and it comes with a bundled cooler too.
Cyber Monday graphics card deals
PNY GeForce RTX 3060 VERTO Dual 12GB Graphics Card | AU$579 AU$499 (save AU$110)
This PNY RTX 3060 was $469 earlier this week, but at AU$599 it still delivers a lot of gaming performance for your buck. It's a good option for use with a high refresh rate 1080p screen, but it'll happily run games at higher resolutions too, especially if you enable DLSS.
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER OC 6GB Graphics Card | AU$399 AU$329 at Mwave (save AU$70)
We might want a shiny new RTX 4090, but at over $3k, that's an instant pass for most. This GTX 1660 Super is a far more worldly option at $329. It's a good card for 1080p gaming and it might offer a surprising bump in performance if you're upgrading from a card from a few years back.
Cyber Monday gaming monitor deals
Acer Nitro VG252QLV 24.5in Gaming Monitor| AU$249 AU$199 at MWave (Save AU$50)
This affordable Full HD IPS 24 incher offers a very good gaming spec at under $300. It's got a 165Hz refresh rate and a response time as low as 0.5ms. It'd make a good bedroom option too.
Gigabyte M32U 4K gaming monitor | AU$1,149 AU$999 at MWave
A cool AU$150 off this 4K / 144Hz gaming monitor, offering a generous screen real estate of 31.5 inches. This IPS affair has a 1ms response time, 10-bit HDR, built-in KVM, and a nicely pared back approach to design. It'll also swivel horizontally at 30 degrees, with 130mm height adjustment.
LG 38WN95C 38in Ultrawide Curved Monitor | AU$2,199 AU$1,499 at Amazon (Save AU$700)
Formerly AU$1,599 a few days ago, this increased "discount" is still an alright deal if you're in the market for this model in particular. It's a sizable 38 inch gaming monitor: a 3,840x1,600 ultrawide affair with a 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and HDR600 support. It's pitched to creators, but the specs will hold you in good stead in-game.
Alienware 25 gaming monitor (AW2521HFL) | AU$748 AU$448
What this display lacks in size it makes up for with smoothness: 240 flippin' Hz is on offer here, with a 1ms reponse time, and G-Sync and FreeSync support. It's a 1080p affair, so silky motion is really the priority here, and will appeal to competitive gamers. This AU$300 discount certainly sweetens the deal.
Cyber Monday TV deals
LG C2 77-inch Self Lit OLED TV | AU$7,995 AU$5,990 at Appliance Central
Here's an undeniably substantial AU$2,000 discount on what our sibling site TechRadar considers one of the very best TVs on the market. It ain't a gaming monitor obviously, but its OLED display and HDR support will hold you in good stead if you're a couch PC gamer, not to mention NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility, AMD FreeSync Premium and variable refresh rate support making this one of the better gaming TVs money can buy.
Cyber Monday SSD deals
Crucial MX500 4TB 2.5-in SATA SSD | AU$435.94 at Amazon
4TB SSD's are cheaper than ever, and this Crucial MX500 is one of the best ones at just $436 from Amazon UK. It's a great option for speeding up an old laptop or using it to hold an ever growing game library.
Crucial P3 4TB PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD | AU$579 AU$429 (save AU$150)
It's tough to find a 4TB SATA SSD at this price, let alone an NVMe one. This Crucial 4TB PCIe 3.0 is a great option for a secondary drive or storing a big game library. It won't set speed records but at this price you won't find better.
Cyber Monday gaming chair deals
ErgoTune Supreme V3 | AU$749 AU$599 at NorthDay (save AU$150)
We reviewed this office chair recently and found it to be a great happy medium between "office" and "gaming" chair, especially for those now working from home (lucky you!). It has customisation galore, strong but breathable mesh, and is especially good for those among us not quite sold on gamer flair.
Secretlab Titan 2020 | NAPA Leather| $1,239 $909 at Secretlab
The Secretlab Titan 2020 is still an excellent gaming chair. It's a long time favourite of ours, being supremely comfortable and well built. This version adds the feeling of luxury that only comes from genuine leather. A saving of $330 makes this a great deal.
Secretlab Titan Evo 2022 Classic | 4D armrests | $759 $724 at Secretlab
This is our pick for the best gaming chair, and you'll know why once you sit in it. Or read our review. As for this specific design, it's one of the more understated of the lot. It's not as sensual to the touch as the Softweave fabric choice, but still boasts immaculately upholstered, premium quality Neo Hybrid Leatherette, and of course fantastic ergonomics. The full price can be a bit deceiving on Secretlab chairs, as we rarely ever see it, but this is still a good deal on a great chair.
Cyber Monday gaming microphone and streaming deals
HyperX QuadCast S streaming microphone | AU$299 AU$205.10 at Amazon
The QuadCast S is among our favourite microphones for gaming and streaming, chiefly for its lavish RGB stylings. Of course, the thing has to work well as a mic as well, and the QuadCast S excels in that important area too. It's easy to use, has a touch-sensitive mute button, built-in shock mount, and 20Hz-20kHz frequency response. This AU$91 discount is good, and relatively rare.
Elgato Wave:3 Streaming Microphone | AU$239 AU$167 at Amazon
The Elgato Wave:3 is a well built cardioid mic that's great for streamers. It received a positive review over at our sister site Tom's Hardware. And with a 30% Black Friday discount, it's even better.
Cyber Monday Gaming Mice deals
Logitech G203 Lightsync gaming mouse | AU$69.95 AU$28-$41
This is our favourite cheap gaming mouse, and now it's even cheaper to the tune of at least 50%. The white variety linked above is AU$35, but if you can cope with (or love!) the blue variety, that's the cheapest at AU$28. Black and lilac colours are both AU$41, if you're feeling plush and fancy.
Razer DeathAdder V2 gaming mouse | AU$139.95 AU$49 at Amazon
Our very favourite gaming mouse with a 65% discount, though it was a whole AU$4 cheaper earlier in the week. We praise this unit for its superior sensor, brilliant shape, and support for all the many and various hand sizes out there. You're saving a lot on this one, so if you're in the market for a mouse this is a brilliant steal.
Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed wireless gaming mouse | AU$109.95 AU$49 at Amazon
55% off this ergonomic, wireless gaming mouse, which was a tad cheaper (by the measure of AU$5) earlier in the week. We rewarded an admirable 81% upon release. Come for the long battery life and near-zero latency, stay for the comfort. We considered this "relatively affordable" at its RRP, which makes this discount "extremely affordable".
Razer Viper Mini gaming mouse | AU$74.95 AU$38.11 at Amazon
Under AU$40 clams, for this, Razer's lightest gaming mouse, both in terms of weight, and also thanks to its pretty RGB stylings. It's a corded affair with six programmable buttons and a 8500 DPI optical sensor.
Cooler Master MasterMouse CM110 Gaming Mouse | AU$39 AU$19 at Mwave (save AU$20)
It might not have all the bells and whistles of a $100+ mouse, but it's got the important ones and at just 19 bucks over at Mwave, the Cooler Master CM110 is an absolute steal. It's got 3-zone RGB, adjustable DPI optical sensor and six buttons. Did we mention it's $19?
Cyber Monday Gaming Keyboard deals
Logitech G915 Lightspeed wireless mechanical keyboard | AU$399 AU$252 at Amazon
This slab is our favourite wireless gaming keyboard, with its lag-free wireless, brilliant battery life, and low-profile mechanical switches. As per usual with Logitech gear it's a tastefully understated piece of gear, though that's not to say it can't be awash in hectic RGB stylings, if you want it to be. This AU$148 discount makes now an opportune time to grab one, though obviously it still ain't an impulse buy.
Asus ROG Falchion Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard | AU$279 AU$139 at Mwave (save AU$140)
This 65% Asus keyboard is a great option if you're looking to enjoy the benefits of a wireless mechanical keyboard with a desk space saving compact size. It's got Cherry MX Brown switches, RGB lighting and a customizable touch panel on the side. Oh, did we mention that it's half price over at Mwave?
Razer Cynosa V2 Chroma | AU$119.90 AU$59 at Amazon
This was AU$48 earlier in the week, but if you missed out this is still a decent bargain. The original (ie, not the "V2") version of this keyboard is the best membrane gaming keyboard for our money, and while you should go in aware that this ain't a mechanical affair (it's membrane, natch) if you've been holding out to grab one, now is verily the time.
HyperX Alloy Origins Core mechanical keyboard | AU$166 AU$118 at Amazon
If you're after a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard from a trusted brand in gaming peripherals, this Alloy Origins Core is well-worth consideration—especially with AU$48 off the usual price. This one is an HX red switch affair with the obligatory RGB stylings, a robust aluminium body, and memory enough to store three custom-designed profiles.
Cyber Monday PC case deals
be quiet! Dark Base 700 Mid Tower RGB E-ATX case | AU$249 AU$186 at Mwave (save AU$63)
As you might guess from the name, Be Quiet cases are built with an emphasis on quiet computing, which I for one definitely appreciate! This classy case is big enough to hold the largest graphics cards and dual 360mm radiators. It has external switches to control fan speeds and RGB. It looks good too, and its tempered glass side panel allows you to show off the goodies within.
Cooler Master HAF 500 ARGB White E-ATX case | AU$199 AU$150 at Mwave (save AU$49)
Are you planning on buying a big graphics card? You'll need a case to hold it and keep it cool. This Cooler Master case includes dual 200mm intake fans which is perfect for a hot running year 2023 system. A well built white case with ARGB always looks good too, and right now it's 25% off at Mwave.
Cyber Monday gaming headset deals
HyperX Cloud II Wireless gaming headset | AU$299 AU$167.89 at Amazon
Back before the Razer BlackShark V2 usurped it, the HyperX Cloud II was our favourite gaming headset. This wireless version is still a tidy affair, boasting an advertised 30 hour battery life (at maximum), 7.1 surround sound, detachable mic and cushy memory foam cups. This is a substantial discount, knocking just over AU$130 off the RRP.
HyperX Cloud Stinger S gaming headset | AU$99 AU$69 at Amazon
This budget set of wired gaming cans are decently specced for their regular AU$99 price, so knocking off AU$30 makes it a worthwhile purchase. The Cloud Stinger S has virtual 7.1 Surround Sound, a robust steel frame, 90 degree rotating ear cups and a handy "swivel-to-mute" noise-cancelling mic.
Cyber Monday Networking deals
TP-Link Archer AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 Router | AU$499 AU$374.75 at Amazon
This TP-Link AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 router has enough bandwidth to satisfy most family homes, and it has eight LAN ports too. At $375, its priced a great deal lower than the fastest Wi-Fi routers, without omitting the most important security and usability features.
Asus RT-AX53U AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 (802.11ax) Router | AU$179 AU$89 at Amazon
Ditch that old ISP router and upgrade to this Asus Wi-Fi 6 one for just $89. If you've noticed your Wi-Fi lagging or dropping out in your home, especially when many devices are connected, the chances are it's because of an old or under spec router. This Asus will help with that.

When is Cyber Monday 2022?
Cyber Monday is set for November 28, 2022, trawling Black Friday like a lovesick puppy. The temptation is to look at Cyber Monday like the unwanted sibling of Black Friday, with just the dregs left on offer. But while it's still going to be tough to get the goods shipped ahead of Christmas, retailers will often have a stock of great deals set aside for Cyber Monday.
Cyber Monday also kicks off Cyber Week, where you may find a bunch of other deals on PC hardware to stretch out the sales season.
