The Black Friday sales are now on, and what better time than when retailers all bow down to peer pressure and performatively drop prices than to put together some recommendations for parts for a fresh PC build? There's already lots to choose from with good discounts.

So, I'll be searching the web for the best PC component deals I can find through Black Friday and logging everything here. If you're already sorted for your gaming PC, you can try our Black Friday PC gaming deals for the other important bits: monitor, mouse, VR headset, etc.

Oh and I'm serious about the RAM deals. There aren't any of those right now. A recent spike in demand for memory, or at least a presumed one, due to artificial intelligence has seen prices surge for memory kits across the world. It's a shame. We reach the moment when 32 GB of RAM is affordable enough that anyone can grab it, and now it costs as much as an entire graphics card.

The 16 GB version of the RX 9060 XT isn't quite as fast as the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB card when ray tracing is involved, but outside of that, it's generally on par. You don't get as good an upscaling and frame generation system as with the Nvidia GPU, though. On the plus side, it is much cheaper, and that counts for a lot these days.

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.

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.

We're fans of the Corsair Frame 4000D, having used it for review and a PC build earlier in the year. It's made for iCUE, Corsair's own ecosystem of parts, but you can ignore all that if you prefer.

SSD deal

The Crucial P510 is a stunning drive. It's not top-tier, just to make that clear right away, but a cheaper PCIe 5.0 drive is still a lot faster than even the best PCIe 4.0 drives. It holds its own through a combination of a new controller from Phison and a superb price tag. Right now, it's even cheaper, at just $90 for 1 TB, or $140 for 2 TB.

I'll drop the charts from our testing below. You can see how well it runs considering the price tag: it fends off even some older PCIe 5.0 drives that cost a helluva lot more money when they came out. A sign of the times, I guess. PCIe 5.0 drives are getting better, cheaper, and cooler, and the Crucial P510 is leading the charge.

Liquid cooler deal

This might prove an unbeatable deal for cooling this Black Friday. If it is beaten, I'll be very impressed. This is the Cooler Master MasterLiquid Core II 360, a liquid cooler I reviewed earlier this year and gave a score of 88%, and it's now just $60 at Amazon.

This is a good quality all-in-one that I've used in a few builds since. It performs extremely well in testing, even putting the superb Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro on the ropes, and it's not too loud, either. My only real complaints are the tubes are the standard 400 mm, which isn't great in some rare circumstances (like my testbench) and it didn't come with thermal paste. But it seems to come with some pre-applied these days and there's a deal on thermal paste I'll post above if you need more.

It supports AM5, AM4, LGA1851 and LGA 1700. So all the bases covered. It looks good, with an infinity mirror effect on the pump unit, and the fans are daisy-chained together for easy install. It also comes in white for the same discounted price right now.

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.
