Best Black Friday PC gaming deals in Australia for 2025: Early deals are here for laptops, monitors and much more
As sure as night follows day, Black Friday will be the deals-focused full-stop to November this year.
Black Friday is imminent in Australia. The official date for Black Friday is November 29, and deals will continue until Cyber Monday on December 1. Despite those rigid dates, Black Friday tends to kick off in early November, with many retailers wanting to get a head start over the competition. In other words: the whole of November is a sales event.
Here at PC Gamer we spend our working week testing the latest products to see if they're worthy of our PC gaming setups. And the ones we think worthwhile, we tell you about. That's why we do it: You shouldn't have to waste a cash on poorly-made products.
And, at a time with an increased focus on the cost of living across the world, it makes sense to save any large purchase for an event such as that around Black Friday, where every retailer in every corner of the globe will be cutting prices to tempt you into spending your money with them. Whether you're desperate for an air fryer, want to upgrade your PC setup, or go all-in on a whole new machine, the Black Friday sales event is a great time to bag a bargain.
Unlike other sales like Amazon Prime Day, where potential deals are limited by what the outlet generally sells, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are a genuinely great time to pick up PC gaming gear, ranging peripherals through to components, and even games.
Basically, if you're considering making any purchases, things are only likely to get cheaper as November rolls on.

Early Black Friday laptop deals

This impressive offering is going to deliver playable frames for most games as long as you don't crank the detail up too high. The 15.6-in screen is sizeable for the price, and its Intel Core i5-13420H CPU plus RTX 3050 GPU all match well. As long as your expectation aren't sky-high this is a great buy for a basic gaming machine.

MSI does like making gaming laptops that are king of the hill, and this one is almost at the tippy top. It's got Nvidia's second fastest laptop GPU, and pretty much the best of everything else. Our reviewer liked most things about it except the price. So with this pretty massive discount going down here it's all good, and you get free shipping as a bonus.

Here's a reasonably priced gaming laptop with decent performance via the Ryzen 9 7945HX paired with an RTX5060. The 16-in IPS screen can run at up to 240Hz, though you'll probably need frame-gen to approach that with high detail enabled in your more demanding games.

Yes, the $2,500 discount here is more than the total cost of many laptops, but this is no ordinary beast, it's basically the best of everything. That means an RTX5090, an Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX, 65GB of RAM and 2x2TB of SSD storage. Everything else is top-tier, too, including Wi-Fi 7 and an 18-inch miniLED screen.

Here's a nice 5070Ti machine from Asus with a grand lopped off the price for Black Friday, and you can grab it now. The 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX is a serious gaming powerhouse, and it can pull up to 65W when under load so it won't be starved of juice. It's the RTX 5070Ti we like best in this rig, being the laptop sweet-spot GPU of the moment. There's free shipping on this deal too.

We reckon the Gigabyte A16 range is one of the best looking gaming laptops out there. Slick. Smooth. You. This is the base model with an RTX5050, paired with a 13th Gen i7-13620H. It's not lacking anywhere, with a 1TB SSD, 16GB of DDR5 and a very nice 16-inch IPS screen. This will get you gaming for peanuts with such a chunky discount.

A step up from the A16 deal above, this one sports a better GPU in the form of an RTX5060. And for just a hundred bucks more that's definitely worth it for significantly better performance, in our opinion. The rest of the specs are the same (and you should check them out in our link, it's everything you'll need).

Sure, a fully specced gaming laptop with pretty much the best of everything will cost you the same as a used car, but HP's lopped $2,600 off the price with this early Black Friday stunner. RTX 5090? Check. Core Ultra 9? Check. 16-inch 240Hz OLED? Hell yeah! Connectivity is supreme, too, with a pair of Thunderbolt 4 40Gbps ports, HDI 2.1 and a couple of USB-A ports.
Early Black Friday gaming monitor deals

At around launch, this gorgeous curved QD-OLED display was our favourite gaming monitor (our review gave it a stunning 95 / 100 score), and while it's not our fave anymore, it's still a damn fine panel, and well worth investigation for a fraction beneath a grand. This wide, curved, 34 inch jewel boasts a 175Hz refresh rate, DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 for some stunningly deep blacks, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support.

A nice 'n' neat saving off this affording 4K IPS monitor, boasting a 160Hz refresh rate and DisplayHDR 400. In our review of this model earlier this year, we wrote that this is Philips' attempt to make 4K gaming "mainstream", and given the price point it's fair to say this one's accessible for most people in the market for a new gaming monitor.

A tidy discount on this rather excessive 34 inch curved ultrawide OLED monitor. It has a 175Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and a crisp 3440x1440 resolution. We haven't tested this particular model, but if you already know you want it, this discount is probably worth noting.

Look: this is a pretty great price for a curved 27 inch QHD display with a 165Hz refresh rate, and if you're looking for a reliable second screen the price is verily right. Boasts HDR10, AMD FreeSync and a 1ms response time. A very tempting "for a rainy day" pick up.

MWave is among the major local retailers offering this 27 inch "super speed" IPS QHD screen for AU$100 off. You're mostly paying for the impressive 210Hz refresh rate on this one, but it also has Gigabyte's Quantum Dot Technology and four-sided cooling.

This compact 27 inch OLED MSI beauty boasts a 4K resolution with a blistering 240Hz refresh rate—if you've got the hardware to make the most of it. Obviously this is a pricey panel with the discount or not, but we can vouch for its quality. In his 85 / 100 review, Jeremy Laird admired its pixel density, pixel speed and great HDR experience, while bemoaning its price.
Early Black Friday keyboard deals

If you fancy a new keyboard but are averse to spending more than AU$100, this Logitech slab will prove mighty irresistible. We haven't reviewed it, but we've tested tonnes of great Logitech gear, and at this price you're getting some great features including "spill resistance" and the full RGB experience.

This was down to AU$169 during October's Prime Day, so it's not the best price, but still good if you want one of these right now. I use it every day, all day and can highly recommend. The RGB is typically stunning, and the build is very robust: you could use it to knock out an intruder. It features 8,000Hz hyper-polling, 4,000Hz key scanning, PBT Double-shot Pro keycaps and yeah: it looks great. Could be worth waiting for further discounts, if you're patient.
Early Black Friday mouse deals

This is a dependable budget mouse at a price you can barely argue with, even if you're just after a backup rodent. It has an advertised 10 million click lifespan, and a 6,400 DPI, which isn't the highest but at this price point you can hardly argue it's not enough.

A decent discount on this premium Logitech rodent, which boasts five programmable buttons and an astonishing 95 hours battery life on a single charge, but still a small saving. Boasts a 32K DPI sensor and up to 8 kHz polling.
Early gamepad Black Friday deals

At RRP this gamepad is very expensive, but the cost is justified. In addition to drift-free, hall effect analog sticks and tactile microswitches, the Stealth Ultra also has four rear paddle buttons and, most conspicuously, a big 'ol LCD screen on the front. The latter can be used for software-free customisation, and to receive notifications. I scored it a 90 / 100 in my review.

Valkyrie is an AIO CPU cooler brand that's big in Asia, and is now selling here. Its reputation online appears to be pretty good, though we haven't tested them ourselves. But what the hey, there's some big savings here that are worth considering, like this 360 AIO for $99 right now. Throw your savings at a better CPU! You can have black or white.

With a NAS you can run your own cloud, and this Asustor Drivestor 4 AS1104T 4-Bay unit is a cheap way to get that done. Our colleagues over at Windows Central rate it highly, saying it's a great option for the home to store all your... stuff. Like any NAS you need to BYO hard drives, of course.

If you're still getting by with your small, medium and large Philips-head screwdrivers, $99 says it's time to step up to the big league. It's electric, has dual torque modes for all screwing task types, plus includes a set of spudgers so you can exercise your right to repair anything you damn want.

Look here – a $169 gaming chair. It's a miracle. The base cushion is extra large so you can sit cross-legged if you want while you game or meditate. Latex padding will keep any bum happy, and it's got a pop-out leg rest too. It comes in strawberry pink too, if that's your jam. Best of all, the manufacturer claims that it features a "One-piece all-steel frame with explosion-proof tray." Boom. Add to cart.

When is Black Friday 2025 in Australia?
Black Friday 2025 is on Friday, November 28 this year, but it's important to remember that a lot of retailers kick off their Black Friday sales long in advance of that date. Realistically, you should keep an eye out from the beginning of November, if not earlier.
Even then, Black Friday is less a day than it is a weekend: the sales generally continue through the weekend until Cyber Monday, which takes place on December 1.
Should you wait to buy until Black Friday?
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 the early Black Friday PC gaming 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, or are just good deals that we wouldn't hesitate recommending if you wanted to make a purchase today.
What should I avoid buying on Black Friday 2025?
Anything you don't need. It's distressingly easy to be duped into dropping cash on something just because there's a hefty discount attached to it… even though you have absolutely no use for it.
If you're considering making a purchase around Black Friday, have a plan of attack. That probably sounds needlessly aggressive, but you need to know what you actually want to buy first or you'll end up with no end of crap. Cheap crap, maybe, but crap nonetheless.
Do some research on the products you'd like to pick up in the sales (we offer detailed hardware buying guides), and maybe some alternatives in case those don't pop up. Set yourself a strict budget too.
Products like graphics cards and processors have obvious tiers (though the different companies work damned hard to make product names as confusing as possible), and SSDs have rated speeds, but for peripherals, it's tougher to tell from the specs whether they're worth the money. Checking for reviews, from such luminaries as ourselves, should guide you on your way.
Are there any Black Friday tips and tricks?
If you haven't already used it up during a credit card splurge around Amazon Prime Day, then you ought to take the opportunity to sign up for a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime. That will get you early access to the Lightning Deals, and help you grab some of Jeff's best deals of the day. It will also net you free shipping on a host of products and speedy delivery too, and at the very worst it'll be handy when it comes to bagging some last-minute Christmas gifts for that aunt you always forget about.
Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
