These are all the Black Friday gaming PC deals still live going into the weekend, but we're now switching focus to what's coming up with the Cyber Monday gaming PC deals. That's where all the latest and greatest discounts will now be curated going forward, so come take a look.
Nvidia and AMD are moving on to the next generation of powerful new (and expensive) GPUs, which means there are big sales on gaming PCs as retailers attempt to clear out existing inventory to make room for the new stuff.
Expect big price cuts on many systems with RTX 30-series GPUs with Intel 10th and 11th Gen Intel processors going into this Friday. There are some really good deals making the rounds, but you might consider holding out if you're shopping for a premium PC with an RTX 3080 or 3090. Nvidia has now released both the RTX 4090 and the RTX 4080 cards, and AMD announced its high-end RX 7900 XT/X cards will be on the shelves in a few weeks time.
It'll be a while before we see any budget or mid-range RTX 40-series cards, so it would make sense to grab a deal on a PC with an RX 6600 XT, RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 3070, or RX 6800 XT card for Black Friday this weekend.
- We'll carry on curating the best Cyber Monday PC gaming deals all the way through.
There's a good chance you'll spot some deals on systems with older hardware inside, like the RTX 20-series or RX 5000-series GPUs. Unless it's an absolute steal, we recommend sticking with PCs with RTX 30-series and RX 6000-series cards inside them. If you need help, we put together a handy crib sheet to ensure you're not overpaying for a Black Friday gaming PC deal.
If a deal looks too good to be true, check how much storage and memory the system has. Avoid anything with a 250GB SSD since most of your favorite games will fill that up pretty quickly. On the memory side, stick with at least 16GB dual-channel RAM. Don't worry about it too much; these are both components you can always upgrade fairly easily later on.
Buying a pre-built could be a new experience for some people, especially those who typically build their PCs. There's no shame in saving yourself the time and stress and letting a professional do all the part-picking, installing, and testing. Make sure wherever you order your PC has a decent warranty in case something goes horribly wrong down the road.

When is Black Friday 2022?
Black Friday 2022 is on November 25 this year and will effectively last through until Cyber Monday on November 28.
Though, in reality, Black Friday is now a month-long event running pretty much throughout the entirety of November. Indeed, since Amazon kicked things off with its Prime Early Access event in October, the deals have been rolling along since then.
What should I look for in a Black Friday gaming PC deal?
This Black Friday is going to be a great time to get an Nvidia RTX 3050, RTX 3060, or RTX 3070-powered gaming PC or AMD equivalent. You should be keeping an eye out for the lower-end of Nvidia's 30-series moreso, but if you're desperate for a machine that can smash 4K we recommend skipping over the 30-series altogether and waiting for Nvidia's 40-series graphics cards to go down in price.
System builders such as iBuypower also have their own prebuilt systems that are ready to roll out of the shop quicker than custom designs. These iBuypower RDY systems can be with you in a matter of days, when other machines might take weeks, or even months to arrive. Basically, be aware that a custom machine may not arrive in time for Christmas.
Last-gen machines just aren't as tempting as they were last year, either. At least not for the same money. All this last-gen kit doesn't just miraculously disappear though, retailers and system builders need to sell it to make some money back. And while there's nothing wrong with machines built around Zen 2, Intel 10th and 11th Gen CPUs, and Nvidia RTX 2080s if the price is right, make sure you don't pay over the odds being blinded by the rest of the spec.
As ever when hunting for bargains, focus on what you need, and don't be swayed to grab a bargain just because something's cheap.
