Best Black Friday PC gaming deals in Australia for 2025: Key details ahead of the year's biggest sales event, and five early deals

Black Friday deals

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.

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 nice early discount on this 2025 ROG Zephyrus model, which we reviewed a higher-spec version of back in April. This model still has very robust specs indeed, with an i9 processor, RTX 5070 GPU, 32GB RAM and 2TB SSD drive. The display is a 16:10 ‎2560x1600 affair. This is a great laptop, though there were some aspects we didn't like, especially the whiney fans and the lacking CPU performance. Also, this isn't the cheapest it's been: it was down to AU$3,999 in October.

Philips Envia 8000 Series 34M2C8600 QD-OLED

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.

Philips Envia 3000 27M2N3800F UHD 27 inch gaming monitor

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.

Black Friday 2025 FAQ

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.
