I build multiple PCs a month and these are the best Cyber Monday deals on components for your next gaming PC

You could opt for a B850 motherboard to save some cash, but they're not that much cheaper than low-end X870 boards. And you lose out on things like USB4 connectivity, which might be a pretty big deal down the line. This Gigabyte X870 is a bit basic for an X870 but it does have all these things you'd lose on a marginally cheaper B850.

Key specs: 14+2+2 VRM | 1x Gen5 NVMe | Wi-Fi 7 | 2x USB4 rear

A big saving here and down to its lowest price ever recorded on Amazon. Not too bad. If you're building an AMD gaming PC and you want access to speedy USB4 ports and lots of PCIe 5.0 slots, this is a good way to get them.

Key specs: 16+2+1 VRM | 2x Gen5 NVMe | Wi-Fi 7 | 2x USB4 rear

We've reviewed this board positively in the past, and we've used it a few times in builds since. It's reliable, easy to set-up, and importantly offers lots of USB ports on the rear, including USB4. Apply the $20 coupon for the full discount.

Key specs: 16+2+2 VRM | 3x Gen5 NVMe | Wi-Fi 7 | 2x USB4 rear

Plenty of bang for your buck here with two USB4 ports on the rear and another Type-C just in case you're desperate for more. It supports Wi-Fi 7, plenty of storage, and looks good, too.

Key specs: 14+2+1 VRM | 2x Gen5 NVMe | Wi-Fi 7 | 2x USB4 rear

If you want to go high-end with your motherboard, this is about as high-end as you should go. The Godlike is sure fun-sounding but it's $850 on sale. Eesh. No, the Carbon is a much more happy medium—all the bells and whistles, none of the fluff. It's also at a low ebb for price right now.

Key specs: 18+2+1 VRM | 2x Gen5 NVMe | Wi-Fi 7 | 2x USB4 rear

This is a ridiculous price for one of the best liquid coolers we've tested. It's simple to install, works great, and looks good. Don't forget the extra $5 coupon and you're sneaking in under $60 for a 360 mm radiator. Excellent value for money.

Key specs: All-in-one | 360 mm | 3x MF120 fans

One of the best liquid coolers but in white. If you're planning out an all-white build and want to avoid clashing, even the tubes on this thing are white to match. That price can't be beat, either.

Key specs: All-in-one | 360 mm | 3x MF120 fans

Though left in the dust by fellow PCIe 5.0 drive, the WD Black SN8100, Crucial still can't be beat when it comes to balancing price against performance. Though not the speediest internal SSD, the P510 still offers proper Gen 5 performance for the cost of a Gen 4 drive—check out our full review.

I call MX-6 'the good stuff' because I'm still using MX-4 on account of buying an absolutely massive tube of it. MX-6 is an improved version of MX-4 and now it's the same price for a 4 gram tube. It's good to have some spare around—it doesn't go off.

Building a budget gaming PC that uses an older processor from AMD and Intel? Unfortunately, the RAM price increases have hit DDR4 just as much as DDR5, but you can still get some good kits that aren't outrageously expensive, like this set from G.Skill.

Key specs: 16 GB (2x 8 GB) | DDR4 | 3200 MT/s | CL16 | XMP | EXPO

If you must have 32 GB of DDR4, either for a new budget gaming PC or an upgrade for an AMD AM4 rig, then this set from V-Color is your best option right now. It's plenty fast enough and looks pretty nice, too. Use promo code BFE2443 to get the discount.

Key specs: 32 GB (2x 16 GB) | DDR4 | 3200 MT/s | CL16 | XMP | EXPO | RGB lighting

With RAM prices increasing so rapidly, if you're looking to build a new gaming PC this Black Friday, you might want to stick with a 16 GB kit for now. This set from Team Group is pretty fast, and the CAS 38 rating won't affect games too much, unless they're really sensitive to RAM timings.

Key specs: 16 GB (2x 8 GB) | DDR5 | 6000 MT/s | CL38 | XMP | EXPO | RGB lighting

Fast 32 GB DDR5 RAM kits are currently ludicrously expensive and will likely remain so for a while, so if you need to build a decent gaming PC, this is the most affordable kit around. You're not getting any fancy RGB lighting nor the sharpest timings possible, but it's still all fine for any AMD or Intel rig. Use promo code BFAE525 to get the discount.

Key specs: 16 GB (2x 8 GB) | DDR5 | 6000 MT/s | CL36 | XMP | EXPO

The RX 9070 is one of AMD's better GPUs for many years and is not that much slower than the XT version. It's been so popular that it's taken months for the price to drop to anywhere near AMD's MSRP. More expensive than the RTX 5070, but it's a faster card all round. That said, you might as well just buy the RX 9070 XT.

Key specs: 3584 shaders | 2520 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR6

RX 9070 price check: Walmart $529.99 | Amazon $539.99 | Best Buy $561.99 | B&H Photo $659.99

A small but rare discount on the extremely popular (justifiably so) Ryzen 7 9800X3D. If you don't need heaps of cores for content creation, this is the best CPU purely for gaming purposes. The 3D V-Cache tech it uses allows AMD to stuff way more cache close to the chip that really speeds up gaming frame rates.

Key specs: 8 cores | 16 threads | 5.2 GHz | 96 MB L3 | 120 W

Price check: Newegg $454

The Nautilus is a great way to ditch RGB lighting. It has none of it, but still retains a modern pump and radiator design that looks great and, most important of all, performs great. We reviewed this earlier in the year, noting its good but a little too expensive. That's no longer the case with this discount, and we have also used it again since in a high-end PC build for the mag.

Key specs: All-in-one | 360 mm | 3x RS120 fans

Price check: Newegg $89.99

Global RAM prices are so high now that you need to get creative with savings so that you can buy a reasonable memory kit. This CPU + motherboard bundle from Newegg is a great way to have one of the best gaming CPUs for your rig and a nice mobo to support it. Newegg's also throwing in a free MSI 240 mm AIO liquid CPU cooler, too. Use promo code BFEFE34 to get the full discount.

Key specs:
Ryzen 7 7800X3D | 8 cores, 16 threads | 5.0 GHz boost | 96 MB L3 cache
Gigabyte B650E Aorus Elite X AX Ice | AM5 | 3x PCIe | 3x M.2 | 12x rear USB

You could opt for a B850 motherboard to save some cash, but they're not that much cheaper than low-end X870 boards. And you lose out on things like USB4 connectivity, which might be a pretty big deal down the line. This Gigabyte X870 is a bit basic for an X870 but it does have all these things you'd lose on a marginally cheaper B850.

Key specs: 14+2+2 VRM | 1x Gen5 NVMe | Wi-Fi 7 | 2x USB4 rear

At the lowest price on Amazon all year, this B650 is a last-generation motherboard using the second-rate chipset from AMD, but don't let that put you off entirely. It's got a great selection of ports, Wi-Fi 6E, and a full selection of PCIe and NVMe slots.

Key specs: 12+2+2 VRM | 1x Gen5 NVMe | Wi-Fi 6E | 1x USB Type-C (3.2 Gen 1)

AMD's little RX 9060 XT doesn't have upscaling and frame generation as good as the RTX 5060, but it beats it on raw GPU power. You might be better off saving more money and buying a 16 GB version, though. It doesn't have more shaders or higher clock speeds, but the extra VRAM should come in handy in the future.

Key specs: 2048 shaders | 3320 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR6

RX 9060 XT 8 GB price check: Amazon $279.99 | Newegg $279.99 | Walmart $279.99 | B&H Photo $339.99

While the specs suggest it should only be a little faster than the 4060 Ti, the use of super-speedy GDDR7 gives the RTX 5060 Ti a surprisingly big boost. It's not worth buying if you already have an RTX 40-series card, but it's a decent upgrade if you have an older GPU, and all that VRAM is kinda nice to have. Use the $20 rebate card to get the full discount.

Key specs: 4608 shaders | 2602 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR7

Including a screen, six torque settings, a light, 30 bits and a 2000 mAh battery, this PixelDrive is the more premium option of Hoto's handy screwdrivers on offer right now.

Key specs: 30 bits | 6 torque settings | rechargeable

Fewer torque settings and bits in this set compared to the more premium model but still plenty to play with for a PC build.

Key specs: 25 bits | 3 torque settings | rechargeable

With a huge discount, the Thicc Q60 finally reaches a price tag that's palatable. While you can secure more performant liquid coolers for less, and I recommend you do in many instances, if you MUST have a screen on your cooler because you think it's really rad, then this is one of the best screen implementations money can buy.

Key specs: 240 mm | 2x FP12 fans | 5-inch IPS display

Beefy graphics cards need an equally beefy power supply unit, but it's not all about the watts. ASRock's SL-1000G is loaded with sockets, with five 8-pin PCIe (so any motherboard and AMD GPU will be fine) and a dedicated 12V-2x6 for Nvidia graphics cards.

Key specs: 1000 W | 80+ Gold & Cybenetics Platinum | 12V-2x6 socket & cable | 5x 8-pin PCIe sockets | Fully modular

Price check: Amazon $109.99

A good home for a Ryzen 9000- or 7000-series processor. It has Wi-Fi 6E, a decent selection of ports, and one PCIe 5.0 NVMe slot. Though there's room for two more PCIe 4.0 SSDs, too. This model is an mATX size, which means it's a little smaller than a standard ATX but will fit in more compact cases.

Key specs: 8+2+1 | AM5 | 1x PCIe 5.0 NVMe | 2x PCIe 4.0 NVMe | 1x Type-C USB 10 Gbps

A full-size ATX motherboard with three NVMe slots, one of which is PCIe 5.0 rated, and plenty of PCIe slots. Though one of the PCIe 4.0 slots is only x2, which will limit performance. The white colorway is sure to appeal to anyone looking to build a PC in a glossy white case, too.

Key specs: 8+2+1 | AM5 | 1x PCIe 5.0 NVMe | 2x PCIe 4.0 NVMe (x4 + x2) | 1x Type-C USB 10 Gbps

The RX 9070 XT is AMD's best graphics card in recent years, so naturally, it's hugely popular, resulting in very low stocks and sky-high prices. While this is technically a deal, the price isn't any lower than the MSRP. It is, however, far more sensibly priced than the RTX 5070 Ti.

Key specs: 4096 shaders | 2700 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR6

RX 9070 XT price check: Newegg $599.99 | Walmart $599.99 | B&H Photo $635.99 | B&H Photo $669.99

Although the RTX 5070 is a good deal faster than its predecessor, the RTX 4070, it's less of an upgrade compared to the RTX 4070 Super. DLSS 4 just about tips the balance in favor of the newer model, though, and this particular deal is well under MSRP. Use the $20 rebate card to get the full discount.

Key specs: 6144 shaders | 2512 MHz boost | 12 GB GDDR7

To get the most out of this SSD, you'll likely still want to pop a dedicated M.2 heatsink on it or use the ones on your motherboard. Otherwise, you're getting stellar PCIe 5.0 performance—though too often for a pretty penny price to match.

Key specs: No heatsink | PCIe 5.0 | 13,600 MB/s read | 10,200 MB/s write

This is the best performing SSD that you can find with a decent offer on right now. It runs up to 14,500 MB/s, pretty much at the limit for PCIe 5.0, but more importantly it has really good random 4k performance. That matters for gaming. It's not quite SN8100 levels, but that's not really discounted right now, and this is darn close.

Key specs: No heatsink | PCIe 5.0 | 14,500 MB/s read | 13,800 MB/s write

A good home for a Ryzen 9000- or 7000-series processor. It has Wi-Fi 6E, a decent selection of ports, and one PCIe 5.0 NVMe slot. Though there's room for two more PCIe 4.0 SSDs, too.

Key specs: 8+2+1 | AM5 | 1x PCIe 5.0 NVMe | 2x PCIe 4.0 NVMe | 1x Type-C USB 10 Gbps

With eight P-cores and 12 E-cores, the 265K has plenty to throw around in games or content creation applications. It's definitely the best of the bunch when it comes to Intel's Arrow Lake chips. While we still prefer the latest Ryzen generation, you'd have to spend at least $300 to get the loosely equivalent Ryzen 7 9700X. Use promo code BFEFE38 for the full discount.

Key specs: 8 P-cores/12 E-cores | 20 threads | 5.5 GHz boost | 30 MB L3 | 125 W

An older generation chip, now, but still a good one for penny-pinching. It uses the same socket as the latest 9000-series chips, AM5, which means the same motherboards are compatible. And it runs very efficiently, too. If you can't spare another cent, this is a good buy.

Key specs: 6 cores | 12 threads | 5.3 GHz | 32 MB L3 | 105 W

Price check: Newegg $194 + free cooler

Somewhat disappointing at launch, the Ryzen 5 9600X has improved considerably thanks to a host of BIOS, microcode, and Windows updates. Still a little pricey for what it is, this little CPU is excellent in games and sips at power. With only 12 threads, though, it's not so great for content creation, such as Blender or video editing, though you're better off using a GPU for those tasks anyway.

Key specs: 6 cores | 12 threads | 5.4 GHz boost | 32 MB L3 | 65 W

Price check: Newegg $204 + free cooler

Although it has been superseded by the newer 9800X3D, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is still a superlative gaming CPU. That's why it's still pretty expensive for an eight-core processor. It runs pretty hot, so you'll need a decent cooler to go with it.

Key specs: 8 cores | 16 threads | 5.0 GHz boost | 96 MB L3 | 120 W

Price check: Newegg $384 + free cooler

A processing powerhouse. With 16 Zen 5 cores and a total of 32 threads, this CPU can tear through pretty much anything. It's not the fastest in games due to a lack of 3D V-Cache but it's not far off the pace.

Key specs: 16 cores | 32 threads | 5.7 GHz boost | 64 MB L3 | 170 W

Price check: Newegg $569.99 + free cooler

A processing powerhouse with 3D V-Cache to make it hum in games. This really is the best all-round processor money can buy. It's still costly but you won't find anything better.

Key specs: 16 cores | 32 threads | 5.7 GHz boost | 128 MB L3 | 170 W

A great saving on this very capable high-end motherboard here. It's nearly the sorta price you'd expect to pay for a quality board with a lower-end chipset. With the top chipset here, you get all the trimmings: lots of Type-A ports, NVMe slots, and Thunderbolt support. Though there's only one, that's all you need for a Thunderbolt dock to expand your connectivity if you need it.

Key specs: 16+1+2 VRM | 1x Gen5 NVMe | Wi-Fi 7 | 1x Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gbps)

Here's a motherboard I've used personally in a few budget builds. It's compact, comes with one Type-C on the rear, and even a PCIe 5.0 NVMe port. It also has two further PCIe 4.0 NVMe ports, which is handy on a small mATX board like this.

Key specs: 8+2+1 VRM | 1x Gen5 NVMe | Wi-Fi 6E | 1x Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gbps)

To get the most out of this SSD, you'll likely still want to pop a dedicated M.2 heatsink on it or use the ones on your motherboard. Otherwise, you're getting stellar PCIe 5.0 performance—though too often for a pretty penny price to match.

Key specs: No Heatsink | PCIe 5.0 | 13,600 MB/s read | 10,200 MB/s write

Though not the most spacious SSD, it's still hard to beat on value alone. Add to that the fact this DRAM-less drive is well suited to being a place to stash your operating system alongside a few games from your ever-growing Steam backlog, and that price just makes sense.

Key specs: NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,100 MB/s read | 6,000 MB/s write

The best deal I can currently find on a 2 TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD. It's one of the quickest out there with 14,700 MB/s sequential read speeds, and though it's not our pick for the best SSD for gaming, we can't find anything that beats it on price for PCIe 5.0 right now.

Key specs: NVMe | PCIe 5.0 | 14,700 MB/s read | 13,400 MB/s write

There are no RAM deals right now. The market is in turmoil thanks to increased demand and customers are paying the price. I wouldn't usually recommend a CL36 kit, but you're looking at another $50 for CL30 and RGB lighting. That might be worth it to you. Perhaps you'd prefer to stick with 16 GB for the time being to save cash. The best 16 GB kit we've found is $130. You could stick four of those in, but generally we'd recommend sticking with two DIMMs for stability.

Key specs: DDR5 | CL36 | 2x 16 GB (32 GB) | 6000 MT/s

A power-savvy unit that will offer plenty of headroom for all but the most ludicous builds. Luckily, you're a bit stuck with slimline GPUs and thermal constraints in a small form factor build, so you probably won't need much more. This PSU has lots of ports, great efficiency and a decent saving this Cyber Monday.

Key specs: 750 W | SFX | 80 Plus Platinum

A PSU after my own heart... in that, I use it myself. It's been a trusty unit for my living room PC build and it's a full 1000 W with plenty of connectors. It's rated to 80 Plus Platinum, which means it's one of the more efficient units on the market, especially for its size.
