Black Friday and Cyber Monday PC gaming deals in Australia for 2025: The events are over, but these deals remain
As you probably expected, the long deals event didn't end precisely on schedule.
Black Friday weekend in Australia is over, and so is Cyber Monday. That means, technically, all the deals should be over.

That is, of course, an exaggeration. Looking it it more soberly: you still have a chance to grab the below PC gaming items at their low Black Friday prices.

Black Friday gaming 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.

A nice discount on this mid-range gaming laptop, which usually goes for around AU$1,500 (whereas the RRP is AU$2,199). To get the price listed above, you'll need to use the code HPNV20 at checkout. For an RTX 4050 lappy with a 15-inch 144Hz screen, that's pretty good.
Read moreRead less▼
Asus markets this as a 'lifestyle' machine, which means it's thin and light, and pretty cleanly designed. But even with a last-gen RTX 4050 it's still got the gaming chops, as long as you don't expect to play in high detail in the latest AAA titles. The 144Hz screen is also a nice addition at this price.

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.
Read moreRead less▼
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).

I'm impressed by what you get here for this discounted price. It's a basic gaming laptop, but the Core 7 and RTX 5050 match well and will do well in most games with medium detail. To get the discount here, apply the code FUTURE13% in the checkout.
In comparison, the same machine (but with a smaller SSD) will set you back AU$1,849 from Amazon.

Using the same chassis and screen as the other Aurora we found, this one kicks it up to an RTX 5060 GPU. That all makes for a much more versatile gaming machine that can be pushed quite a bit higher in detail levels, or just go for high frames at medium settings. Make sure to apply the code FUTURE13% at checkout.

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.

This powerhouse gaming laptop was a steep AU$4,198.70 in June, but it’s now sitting at AU$3,098.70. Add the code FUTURE13% at checkout and the total drops to AU$2,695.87, and that’s a pretty solid deal for a machine running an RTX 5070 with an Ultra 9 CPU, 32GB of RAM, a 2TB SSD and a big 16-inch 2560 x 1600, 240Hz screen.
Read moreRead less▼
Now we're cooking. This is a very capable gaming lappy, with a meaty Ultra 9 275HX processor and RTX 5080 GPU. That's enough to fill all 240 of the screen's Hz with buttery frames. It comes with all the mod cons, including Wi-Fi 7. Apple the code TECHRADARBFCM at checkout to get the full deal.
You can also grab it for AU$4,497 from Amazon, or upgrade and get the RTX 5090 variant for AU$4,752.03 from Lenovo using the same code as above.

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 AU$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.
Read moreRead less▼
Yes, the AU$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.
Black Friday gaming monitor deals
Read moreRead less▼
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.
Read moreRead less▼
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.
Read moreRead less▼
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.
Read moreRead less▼
This 32-inch affair is one of our fave gaming monitors, and if you don't trust me check out this 92 / 100 review. Samsung's QD-OLED tech pumps out a sharp 4K resolution with an uber-smooth 240Hz refresh rate, with AMD FreeSync and G-Sync support into the fact.
Black Friday gaming keyboard deals
Read moreRead less▼
Many, including your author today, love the austere slabby design of HyperX keyboards, and so did Tabitha Baker over on GamesRadar when she reviewed the Alloy Origins 65, giving it 4/5 stars. Not just beautiful, this thing is built like a tank.
Read moreRead less▼
I use this keyboard 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.

A decent discount on this well-regarded 75% size mechanical gaming keyboard. It has an elegant and reserved aesthetic, but it's a true powerhouse when it comes to gaming performance, with hot-swappable pre-lubed caps and dual-layer sound dampening.
Read moreRead less▼
If you want your keyboard to take up as little space as possible, this is a wireless 65 percenter with low profile optical switches. Small doesn't mean discreet though, so rest assured there's plenty of RGB on this thing. The ROG Falchion RX is the favourite low profile keyboard in our best gaming keyboard list, ticking just about every must-have box including great switches, a sturdy build, and plenty of connectivity options.
Black Friday gaming mouse deals
Read moreRead less▼
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. While the RRP is AU$94.95, the actual street price hovers around AU$50.

Besides the usual HyperX quality and design, the Saga Pro is a gamer favourite for some thanks to its customisation options, which includes the ability add your own 3D printed panels. Marvellous, say we when we first had a look.
Read moreRead less▼
A decent discount on this premium Logitech rodent, which has an RRP of AU$299.95 which Amazon is evidently ignoring. It 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.
Black Friday gaming headset deals
Read moreRead less▼
A chunky discount on this very capable wireless set of cans, boasting both 2.4 Ghz wireless and Bluetooth (the latter helps it double as an on-the-go set of headphones) as well as 50 hour battery life and a detachable mic. We reviewed an earlier version of this model without Bluetooth and liked what we tested. The black colourway has now sold out, but you can still nab this price in white or pink.
Read moreRead less▼
HyperX's mid-range Wireless cans have a decent discount happening right now. We've reviewed these and reckon they were alright too. You can expect good batter life and very good audio quality from the Stinger 2s.
Read moreRead less▼
The Cloud II was a go-to if you wanted a sturdy, mid-range wired gaming headset. This wireless follow-up is decently specced for its price, with angled 53mm drivers, a detachable "ultra-clear" mic, and DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio.
Read moreRead less▼
If you're hell bent on keeping costs low, JBL’s Quantum 100M2 is cheap as chips—especially if you happen to be buying AU$38 worth of chips. These aren't fancy but they do work, with a boom mic, breathable ear cushions, and a stripped-back design.
Read moreRead less▼
Here's JBL's stab at the mid-range market. We haven't reviewed these but if you're after an affordable wireless headset it could be worth investigation: boasts up to 22 hours of battery life, a flip-up boom mic, JBL QuantumSURROUND tech and compatibility across PC and consoles (not to mention smartphones).
Read moreRead less▼
A nice cut off this relatively new set of gaming cans with some great features: Dolby Atmos, dual wireless (connect to two things at once!) and fast charging for the battery with 70 hours capacity. We reviewed it in April and it held up well, though we did bemoan its "reliance on bloatware" and the lack of a wired connection.

We're not all audiophiles. Not everyone needs a AU$6,000 turntable to enjoy a record about mechanical keyboards. And that holds true for gaming: I'm fine with a AU$100 headset. Others are not! This Beyerdynamic headset is our favourite wired audiophile set, and while it was available for a bit less at Mwave earlier in the sale, Amazon now has the price at AU459 off. It still doesn't make it cheap per se, but it's a welcome cut that makes it a bit more accessible. If you're unconvinced (and want to be convinced) check our review.

This winning headset scored 88 / 100 in our review. We loved the price point, the comfortable floating headband, the spatial audio and the long battery, while complaining about its "meh" mic and no ANC. This is a substantial discount if you're in the market for one of these.
Black Friday gaming controller deals
Read moreRead less▼
This controller doesn't factor in our favourite gamepads for PC, and it has some imperfections—namely, its inclination towards stick drift—but its haptics are world class and it feels really good in the hand. If you're happy with the trade-offs, you'll be super happy with this nowadays rare discount. Stock of some colours has sold out, but there were still several available at this price as of this writing.
Read moreRead less▼
Here's the nowadays expected discount price on the Xbox controller. Pretty much every sales event sees Microsoft's gamepad hit this price, though it'll depend which colour you're after—you can browse on the shop page. While the quality of third-party controllers makes this gamepad slightly less appealing than it used to be, it's still a dependable and comfortable piece of kit.
Read moreRead less▼
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.

Yep, you're using motherboard audio, but with a second source you can split game audio and voice comms across two different devices and control the volume and settings of each independently. The Audigy might even be better than your mobo sound, so this could be your main gaming device.

For more modest, or quieter needs, FSP's AE24 AIO could be what you're looking for. Also featuring the infinity RGB display, it's a slick unit that can be had in white (shown), or black.
Read moreRead less▼
This 360mm AIO CPU cooler is a real looker, with the infinity-effect RGB screen likely to mesmerise you when you should be gaming. Performance reviews are mixed, though for keeping anything but the hottest chips cool it's a decent buy at this price. Available in black or white.

At a more 'modest' 750w 80+ Gold, the FSP Vita GM still has the juice to power most rigs today. Find out what you actually need using FSP's PSU calculator so you know for sure there's the headroom you need now, and for any future upgrades.
Read moreRead less▼
Even at its standard price this case is well worth it, with the so-hot-right-now fishbowl glass styling, accented by some tasteful RGB. FSP has a great reputation for its case design and build quality. This one can be had in black or white.

Finding a 3600MHz DDR4 kit at a good price is, well, a find. I did see this slightly cheaper at Mwave earlier in the sale (AU$149), but PC Case Gear now has the best price I can find on this FURY Beast RGB 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 3600MHz kit. It's a particularly good looking kit too, in our opinion.
Read moreRead less▼
No matter how premium your motherboard is, its integrated audio is almost certainly not as good as what Creative Sound BlasterX AE-7 can do. This is a premium audio device for people that care about good sound, and have nice headphones or speakers to properly enjoy it with. Music through this is also amazing.

Proof that you can still get premium memory at somewhat sane prices, this Team T-Force Delta RGB 32GB kit is AU$499 at Mwave until December 5th. It comes with free shipping too.
Read moreRead less▼
21% off for a graphics card isn't to be sneezed at. AU$989 for a 9070XT is something to think about. AMD's 9070XT gives strong performance and the price, especially now, makes it very appealing. XFX often come in cheaper than the bigger names, but in our experience the quality and reliability isn't compromised.

The Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti is shaping up to be the classic GPU of this generation, with 16GB of memory and base performance up to 20% better than last-gen's 4060 Ti. This good looking white Asus will do you right at AU$769, which is better than the usual AU$899.

This is the entry-level CPU in Intel's new Core Ultra range, and is a very economical option to get going on the platform. It comes with a 10-core configuration, six performance cores and four efficiency cores, and 22MB cache.

Our insider contacts at some of Australia's best PC makers and resellers tell us that FSP PSUs are a good buy and have dependable reliability. We haven't tested this unit ourselves, but its Platinum 80+ rating for the gargantuan 1650w provided will power anything the future can throw at you.

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.

These are tops for making your laptop louder. And if you're relying on monitor speakers for audio right now, well whoa Nellie, get these and you could be happy forever. They'll connect via Bluetooth or USB.

Thanks for not scrolling past this little wonder. It's a handy dandy monitor riser, yes, but also has a built-in wireless phone charger (only 15w, but still), along with 5 USB ports, HDMI, an RJ45 networking port and a 100w power delivery port. Plus a couple of drawers for your stash. Remarkable, especially with 46% off the price.

This classic gaming speaker set might not be the newest around, but it's highly regarded, as our mates over at TechRadar also reckoned when they gave it 5/5 and talked up its excellent sound quality and good dimensional audio for gaming.

Stick this under your monitor for audio that's been tuned for gaming. It's got RGB too, so there's no mistaking its purpose. If you game on TV, well, you are properly sorted for everything from Battlefield to old Thunderbirds eps on YouTube It's got every kind of input you'll need, and has a built-in mic too.
Black Friday gaming chair and desk deals

The Titan Evo is our favorite gaming chair, and has been for the longest time. It's the benchmark by which we judge all other gaming chairs—it's comfortable, supportive, and easy to assemble. The holy trinity. Buying direct from Secretlab is the only way to pick up this chair at this price right now.
If you want to save even more on the Titan Evo, you can even buy a themed chair that's on clearance, such as this Final Fantasy XIV-themed version for AU$729.

Look here – a AU$135 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.

A nice saving on the very best gaming desk you can get (though there isn't a great deal of competition, at least in Australia). This one completely eliminates cable mess, has an integrated power supply column, a bunch of modular 'n' magnetic accessories, and electric height adjustment from 650mm to 1250mm.

HyperX's update to the well loved original QuadCast automatically make it one of our favourites, with excellent build quality and design and superior audio. Plus with the 2, more RGB. Tom's Hardware reckon it's a 4/5 star mic, praising it as one of the best at its price.
Black Friday NBN deals

Superloop | NBN 500 | AU$65p/m with no lock-in contract (AU$95p/m after 6 month introductory offer)
According to the ACCC's broadband performance report, Superloop is currently the very best low-latency provider, with a low average ping rate of 8.2ms during peak hours. That makes their new Black Friday introductory deal on NBN 500 quite attractive, even if it isn't strictly the cheapest on the market. It offers 50 Mbps uploads. This plan has an advertised typical evening speed of 500 Mbps downloads and 40 Mbps uploads, which means it offers consistent download rates even during peak hour.

Superloop | NBN 1000 | AU$79p/m with no lock-in contract (AU$109 after 6 month introductory offer)
As above, the ACCC's broadband performance report puts Superloop equal first as the best low-latency provider, with a low average ping rate of 8.2ms during peak hours. This NBN 1000 offer is great value if you want to partake of ultra-fast internet, with 860 / 85 Mbps typical evening speeds, though otherwise you can expect 1000 / 100 Mbps outside peak times.

Spintel Home Turbo plan | NBN 500 | AU$64p/m (first 6 months, then AU$86.95p/m)
Spintel is also leaping into the Black Friday deals fray, with this very decent AU$64 introductory offer that lasts six months (after which, it goes up to AU$86.95p/m).

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.
Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
