Well, looky here, it's Cyber Monday. A name almost as meaningless as Black Friday, except it's loaded with meaning. And what might that be? Well, it means there are still a bunch of great PC gaming deals floating about on the webs, so here I am to filter out the stock-shifting trash and snuffle out the umami truffles of Cyber Monday deals gold. Just for you.
This is something looming over the entire of this Black Friday / Cyber Monday period, the fact we know retailers and manufacturers are all preparing to put prices waaaay up once the current stock runs dry. And, while I generally hate anyone trying to engender a sense of urgency around the sales, this time it might genuinely be the best time to upgrade your PC gaming setup for the next year or so. Prices will be going up.
As a 20-year veteran, Dave's been doing the PC hardware dance since way back in 2005, and building gaming PCs since the '90s. You know, when it was difficult. In his time he's tested every type of PC component, peripheral, and accessory you can imagine, and probably some you can't. That makes him perfectly placed to recommend the best deals, and the ones you need to steer clear of this Cyber Monday.

Winning PC deal
Here it is Cyber Monday, and my pick of the current deal crop—if you're after a brand new gaming PC—would be this stunner from Andromeda Insights. It's a great mid-ranger, with a six-core, 12-thread Zen 5 CPU and the best graphics card AMD has produced in many a long year, the Radeon RX 9070 XT.
But then there's Alienware...
Though there is also Alienware, which has unexpectedly turned out to be the manufacturer with the outright cheapest RTX 5080 gaming PC we've ever seen. The Aurora may not be super upgradeable (curse that bespoke motherboard) but at $1,900 from Dell, it's a fantastic deal on a surprisingly well-rounded spec.
Though if that's too rich for your blood/wallet, it's also got an RTX 5070 Ti spec that's great value, too:
On the lappy side...
With the laptops it's a straight up fight between these two gaming powerhouses. Both are great RTX 5080 gaming machines for the money, and really deliver a punch when it comes to anything you might want to throw at your gaming laptop.
I think I would probably end up going for the HP Omen Max 16. It's $50 cheaper and comes with twice the memory. Though when I spent time testing the MSI in particular I loved its anachronistic design, which also allows it to run a lot quieter without sacrificing much in the way of performance. With the HP Omen laptop, you're going to have to step things back a bit further to avoid the turbine cooling fan sound.
Okay, while not strictly a Cyber Monday thing, it was still today I learned the Wayback Machine of the Internet Archive is routinely saving nearly 150 terabytes, or hundreds of millions worth of web pages every day. And it has recently celebrated logging its trillionth page.
So... er... they're going to need more storage? Cue shameless deal plug 👇
So where does the smart money go right now? Honestly, it's probably a toss up between these two GPUs👇 The specs are similar and so are the prices, but in general I'd probably be siding with the RX 9070 for the extra standard gaming frame rates, though having spent a lot of time messing with MFG that does still offer some temptation.
Then there are controllers. Having a genuine Hall effect pad for under $16 is just silly. It's silly, you hear me. But only because it's green.
It's not the cheapest 1 TB external drive on sale at the moment—our pick for that would be the $89 Team Group PD20M. But the Samsung series have always been robust wee things, and that's why I'd put my money towards the T9 instead.
In the real world, I'm a bit of a skinflint. I struggle to spend money on myself—two small children and a crippling mortgage will do that to a guy—which means I would really struggle to pay the small fortune that really good graphics cards cost in this generation. While I might love to have an RX 9070 slapped in my home PC, and compared to what it was costing earlier in the year $520 isn't that bad, it's still more than I could pay in good conscience.
What I could pay, however, would be the $350 Amazon is charging for the RX 9060 XT 16 GB. Now, I know that's effectively its original MSRP, but with the looming memory apocalypse threatening to spike GPU prices again—especially for graphics cards laden with this much VRAM—it's a good price for a really solid gaming GPU.
This is a ridiculously good deal for a proper 1080p gaming monitor. It's from a proper PC gaming monitor brand, LG, and it's got all the specs you could want from an entry level screen. It's IPS, it's high refresh (144 Hz), and it's got a decent sized panel perfect for gaming.
Anyways, I want to spend money on a Terminator model like this dude ☝️or a Space Marine like this dude 👇 and there's no one around to stop me. Curse those Cyber Monday Walmart deals...
It's the battle of the sub-$2,000 RTX 5080 gaming PCs, and the winners are absolutely anyone who decides they have enough ready cash and a desire to bag one of the best gaming PC deals of Cyber Monday. These are the only two full PC prebuids with an RTX 5080 GPU in them to drop below the $2,000 mark all year.
Finding an RTX 5080 rig for less than $2,000 is very rare right now, and Alienware knows how to put together a good gaming PC. What's even more surprising is that, despite memory shortages, you can upgrade to 32 GB of RAM for $100 (which I've done here), and you can double the storage entirely for free. Well, for the base price of the rig, but the upgrade costs nothing. You will have to configure this yourself, but the below specs will get you to the impressively low price target.
Key specs: Intel Core Ultra 7 265F | RTX 5080 | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | 2 TB SSD | 1000 W PSU
The iBuyPower Y40 Pro is only the second RTX 5080 gaming PC that's dropped below the $2,000 mark this Black Friday/Cyber Monday period that we would actually buy. And it's an impressive spec straight off the bat. Obviously you have the 16 GB RTX 5080 GPU at its heart, which alone is worth $1,000, and then you've got the 12-core, 24-thread AMD Zen 4 CPU, 32 GB RAM and a 2 TB SSD. That's a hell of a spec for this pricetag.
Key specs: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X | RTX 5080 | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | 2 TB SSD | 850 W PSU
If you can't quite bring yourself to go so far down the rabbit hole as to start collecting little posable Space Marine figures (and congratulations on your self-restraint) then how about settling down with a good book and getting into the grimdark lore of Warhammer 40,000?
Ooooh, pretty.
Check out the pretty printed Higround keyboards and mouse mats still on offer in the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale. If you're a Halo or an Apex Legends fan, these might be the keebs for you.
If you've spent money on a fancy desk for your fancy PC, and you've picked up a fancy OLED monitor then isn't it about time you ditched the grotty stand that came with it? It's got big feet so your 'spensive panel doesn't fall over, and it's taking up a huge amount of desktop real estate. And it barely moves, either.
That's obvious when you look at this stellar iBuyPower machine, which is just $1,549 at iBuyPower right now. It's a good-looking system, comes with an AMD 3D V-Cache processor of the Zen 4 generation—one that was our favorite gaming CPU for a loooong time—and has the best graphics card AMD has produced in many a year. That RX 9070 XT is a fantastic GPU, and is only likely to get better as AMD gets FSR4 in more places with its smarter upscaling and its Redstone tech finally launches.
You're also getting 32 GB of DDR5-6000 memory—which in new RAM money translates to a $300+ kit—and a healthy 2 TB SSD, too. Both of those components are going to be even more impacted by price rises as we get into the end of the year and beyond.
Senior Editor Wes Fenlon here, taking over from Dave! Our intrepid deals captain has feasted for days straight and needs some time away to digest, so I'm filling in for just a bit as Cyber Monday rolls on.

If you haven't played wonderful roguelike Caves of Qud, I'd recommend fixing that with haste—especially if you got yourself a high refresh 4K OLED monitor for Cyber Monday. (That's a little joke for Qud knowers). Even if you've never spent a minute with the game, though, I think you might see the appeal in these art prints from the official shop, which reimagine it in the form of pulp sci-fi novel covers. This is exactly my aesthetic and I'm obsessed with them. They're 25% off when purchased individually, while the whole shop's 10% off in general. That's the only discount you get if you buy the four print bundle, but it's still somethin'!
There are some cool t-shirt, totes, and stickers, too, as well as merch for a couple other games including Peak and Furi.
A buck a book plus 20 bucks?
I know a lot of people listen to podcasts while gaming, but why not take this deal and listen to some audiobooks instead? Here's three game-related books for your first $3:
⚔️Dungeon Crawler Carl: A guy has to survive on an Earth that's been transformed into a videogame-like dungeon
🪐Halo: The Fall of Reach: A genuinely well-received videogame book that dives deep into the Halo universe
🧙♂️Off to Be the Wizard: Turns out reality is just a computer program, so one guy hacks himself back in time and becomes a wizard
