The 29 best PC gaming deals you can still pick up from Cyber Week

It's incredible to think you can spend so little and get a stick drift-resistant wireless controller that doesn't completely suck. Luckily for the GameSir Nova Lite, it does all of the above and manages to feel good and light in the hands, too.

This little microphone might be cheap, but it's surprisingly good at doing its one task in life, as we found in our review. That's picking up your vocals from a desktop position, although it's even got a boom arm screw mounting for close up work—and it's pretty good at that, too. It's very cheap and very cheerful, but you don't get any software noise cancelling to play with. Can't have everything for well under $30, ey?

The Logitech G305 Lightspeed is our favorite wireless budget mouse—it's nothing fancy, but it's lightweight, has great battery life, and uses a killer sensor. The only thing to note is that this deal isn't necessarily that out of left field—the G305 hasn't been at full price for a while, but it's still worth snagging if you need a nice budget option with no frills in time for Christmas.

Quite literally our favourite wired gaming headset, the HyperX Cloud Alpha has reigned supreme at the top of our guide for some time now, and looks to be staying there for a while longer. It's a powerful, punchy performer with superb comfort and a refined design, and even better, it regularly turns up on discount. Tough to beat, this one.

Key specs: 50 mm drivers | 15-27,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wired

This is the absolute best lightweight gaming mouse on the market right now. It's incredibly light at just 36 g, and somehow it's achieved this with nary a hole in sight. Apart from this, it's pretty barebones, but a good sensor and light weight is all that's needed for some seriously competitive FPS gameplay, and this mouse delivers on both fronts.

Key specs: 33K sensor | wireless | 36 g weight | 70-hr battery

This is the new lowest ever price we've seen on the DeathAddder V3 Pro. In our review, we praised this little rodent's great ergonomics, notable wireless performance and strong battery life. It is a tad pricey (though better on sale) and definitely more of a competitive choice, but, to quote ourselves, it "succeeds phenomenally" in that regard.

Key specs: 30,000 DPI | 1,000 Hz polling | up to 90 hour battery life | 63 g

Price check: Amazon $99.99

Okay, so our tests demonstrate it's slightly slower than the advertised speeds, but the actual sequential performance still isn't bad. Couple that with a very reasonable price point, plus its practically frosty temps, and you might well be looking at your next upgrade.

This wireless gaming headset leaves little to be desired. Featuring titanium TriForce drivers, you're getting crisp sound at a very reasonable price. The honking great big volume knob makes it easier than ever to fine-tune your soundscape when things get hectic, too.

Key specs: 50 mm drivers | 12 - 28,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | 70 hour battery life

This is still the absolute best gaming keyboard overall, and right now it's at a cracking price. You're getting excellent typing feel, stellar gaming performance, sound dampening that actually works, and a build quality that stands well above most of the competition.

Key specs: Numpad | Wireless | Hot-swappable mechanical switches

If you're on a tight budget, this will get you a decently sized 1440p monitor for a real bargain price. It even has a higher-than-60 Hz refresh rate. Okay, 100 Hz isn't spectacular, but it is still notably smoother than 60 Hz. It's also not the brightest screen, rated at 250 nits peak, but the compromises will have to come in somewhere.

Key specs: 27-inch | 100 Hz | 1 ms | IPS

Small, smart, and frankly adorable, the Fractal Design Terra is one of the loveliest Mini-ITX PC cases I've laid hands on, and does it not look suspiciously like the Steam Machine design? For extra flexibility, the central mount slides back and forth to accommodate different-sized parts as you need them.

Key specs: Walnut & annodised aluminum | PCIe 4 riser cable included

We gave the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 92% in our review late last year, and stuck it straight in our best PC controller guide. It's since been replaced by the 8K polling version with TMR sticks—but the original is now on discount, and it's just as good as it ever was. With super-clicky mecha-tactile buttons, a gorgeous switchable trigger feel, and a smattering of reassuringly-high-end materials, it's still one of the best PC controllers money can buy—polling rate be damned.

It doesn't get much better than this, folks. A 4K, 27-inch gaming monitor for a cent under $200. It's an IPS panel, with a 1 ms response time, and is what's known as a dual mode monitor. That means it runs at both 4K/144 Hz and 1080p/288 Hz. Perfect for blending both competitive gaming with immersive singleplayer gaming. Use promo code CWE386 to get the full discount.

This might not be the fastest of drives, but it's difficult to argue with this much storage for this price. With a sequential read/write of 5,000 MB/s and 4,500 MB/s, it's still not what you'd call slow and should be fine for gaming; plus it comes from a reliable brand.

At its current price, this Acer Nitro is a genuine bargain. By comparison, Alienware's fancy QD-OLED 34-inch panel is around $800 even on sale. This Acer matches its size, resolution, aspect ratio and refresh rate for less than one-third of the price, although of course, it is a VA panel, not an OLED. It's also not the brightest gaming monitor ever, but it is a very good deal.

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. Or just save your pennies and enjoy a great GPU for the money.

Key specs: 2048 shaders | 3150 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR6

RX 9060 XT 8 GB price check: Newegg $289.99 | Walmart $289.99 | Best Buy $307.49 | B&H $323.99

Even reasonably good value at full price, $150 off an OLED panel with 1440p resolution and a snappy 180 Hz refresh rate makes this one of the best priced monitors out there right now.

Key specs: 27-inch | 1440p | 180 Hz | 0.03 ms | QD-OLED

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

One of our all-time favorite gaming monitors, the Alienware AW3423DWF is a QD-OLED, 34-inch ultrawide beauty with a glossy coating that makes all your games look absolutely sumptuous. It's still the best budget ultrawide OLED money can buy, especially with this heavy of a discount.

Key specs: 34-inch | 3440 x 1440 | 165 Hz | 0.03 ms | OLED

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. Now cheaper than the RTX 5070, it's also a faster card, even when ray tracing is involved.

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 $634.99

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 a tiny bit under MSRP.

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

Our best gaming handheld pick has received a seriously tempting discount, and it's an excellent machine. The lightweight Steam OS integration in combination with its Ryzen Z1 Extreme APU means it's surprisingly powerful, all while being extremely comfortable to use and remarkably well-equipped. While you can find the Z2 Go version for cheaper, this is the one you want.

Key specs: Ryzen Z1 Extreme | 8-inch screen | 32 GB RAM | 1 TB SSD

Price check: Best Buy $899.99

There are quite a few RTX 5060 gaming PCs around this price point, but there aren't many with 32 GB of fast DDR5 RAM in there. That's an especially important fact given we're in a memory shortage. This build should offer you some longevity, and even be good for a simple swap-out GPU upgrade in a generation or two, if you want a boost in gaming performance.

Key specs: Core i5 14400f | RTX 5060 | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD

This lappy has a truly lovely OLED display, which is very rare to see on a laptop at this price. And while the 115 W RTX 5060 will need some DLSS help to make the most of its 1600p panel, this is still a great selection of components for the cash—although I'd like to see a bigger SSD. Still, at least it's an easy upgrade. Lenovo makes some excellent gaming laptops, and this one delivers serious bang for your buck.

Key specs: RTX 5060 | Ryzen 7 260 | 15.1-inch | 1600p | 165 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 512 GB SSD

Price check: Lenovo $1,099.99 (1 TB variant, OOS)

This is a great price for what is not only a gaming PC with AMD's best graphics card, but also one that's rocking a pretty powerful eight-core chip. Paired with 32 GB of fast DDR5 RAM and we're on to an all-AMD winner. You might want to slap another terabyte of storage in there before long, though.

Key specs: Ryzen 7 7700 | RX 9070 XT | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD

It's not every day we find an Alienware rig at the same price as all its best competitors, but that's what we have here. An RTX 5070 Ti gaming PC priced under $1,700 is very reasonable, though you'll have to configure it with the specs below yourself to hit the price. The RAM isn't the fastest, but it does come with 2 TB SSD upgrade for free, and the CPU and GPU combo should have you gaming at 1440p easily, and even at 4K in many games.

Key specs: Core Ultra 7 265F | RTX 5070 Ti | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | 2 TB SSD | 750 W PSU

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

It's still very difficult to find most RTX 5080 laptops for anything close to $2,000 right now, so this one represents pretty stunning value. Our Dave reviewed the Vector 16 HX AI earlier this year and likes the value proposition you get when you take into account that mega GPU, although it is a bit of a hairdryer on full whack. Still, stick it in Balanced mode and the noise is much more reasonable, and it still performs about as well as the other RTX 5080 machines we've tested. Which is to say, very well indeed.

Key specs: RTX 5080 | Core Ultra 9 275 HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 240 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSD

Price check: Newegg $2,149.99

Our best high-performance gaming laptop pick features a monstrous collection of components, and this is the cheapest I can find it for in full game-crunching trim. The RTX 5080 is a full-strength 175 W variant, the panel is a 240 Hz OLED stunner, the Intel CPU is mega, and as our Dave found in his review, the gaming performance is simply excellent. It's one of the fastest laptops we've tested to date, yet comes wrapped in a chassis you'd actually want to show off—although it must be said, it's a pretty sizeable machine to lug around if you plan on taking it on your travels.
