When is Black Friday 2025?
Black Friday 2025 is on November 28 this year, although the deals have already started as the whole month (and a little of the month before) is when the retailers start to drop prices. While it's tempting to hold out for the day itself, we'll be finding plenty of bargains well before, and well after, the sales day proper.
All of the major PC builders and suppliers will be keen to shift plenty of stock over the Black Friday period, so we're expecting great things. And don't forget about Cyber Monday, either, which will be on Monday, December 1 this year and turns into Cyber Week until 5 December, so expect the deals to keep rolling for some time to come.

FAQ
What should I look for in a Black Friday gaming PC deal?
With all the system builders fighting between themselves for your cash, there are likely to be some tasty discounts all the way up and down the performance ladder. From high-end RTX 5090 systems all the way down to RTX 5060 machines, we're expecting to see a full stack of gaming PCs for the best prices they've been all year over the Black Friday period, making now a perfect time to pick up a bargain.
For those on a tight budget, we highly recommend machines featuring the Nvidia RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti, as they're both relatively good value graphics cards with support for all the latest DLSS and Multi Frame Generation bells and whistles. The AMD RX 9060 XT is also an excellent budget performer with its own upscaling and Frame Gen tricks—so whether its team green or team red, those watching the pennies are well-served this generation.
Mid-range shoppers will want to look out for RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti machines, as these cards make for powerful 1080p, 1440p, and even 4K gaming GPUs—as long as you're prepared to turn on the upscaling for the latter, at least. Again, AMD has strong competition here in the form of the RX 9070 and the RX 9070 XT, so you've got plenty of good options in front of you.
When it comes to the high-end stuff, though, it's all Nvidia's market this generation. That means the RTX 5080 and the RTX 5090, and while both are pretty expensive (the latter, monstrously so), they're also the most powerful consumer graphics cards you can buy right now. Expect to pay a pretty penny, but machines with these GPUs stand the best chance of dominating even the most demanding of games.
CPU-wise, you'll be wanting to look out for the AMD 9000-series chips, especially those with an X3D after their name. These processors have fancy 3D V-Cache that many games simply adore, so they make for the best gaming CPUs of this generation.
That's not to say that Intel is out of the fight, though. Even last-gen Intel chips like the Core i7 14700K still make for superb gaming chips, as it's more about the graphics card when it comes to gaming performance. The newer Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors based on the Arrow Lake architecture are also seriously quick for gaming, so I wouldn't rule out CPUs from either manufacturer for your next rig.
When it comes to the rest, 16 GB of RAM is still the default loadout for budget machines at the very least—although we're now finding plenty of 32 GB machines on discount, which is a bit more like it in 2025. Similarly, a 1 TB SSD is a good amount of storage to get started with, although a 2 TB drive will give you lots more room for plenty of game installs.
The good news about both of these components is that they're easy to upgrade later down the line, so don't worry too much if you've found the perfect machine, but it's got a relatively small amount of RAM or a tight amount of storage. Treat 16 GB and 1 TB as a good minimum, and remember that both can be upgraded for a relatively small sum once you've saved up some more cash.
Will prices drop any lower?
There are always reasons to hold off on making a new purchase whenever you are thinking about making one. Whether it's the potential for a new generation of techie goodness on the horizon—either cutting prices on existing models or delivering tangible higher performance—or because there might be an imminent sale like Black Friday looming.
When picking out gaming PC deals we take all of this into consideration, and where we think prices on something might significantly drop on the big day itself we simply won't recommend it. But all of the products here we either believe won't significantly drop much further in terms of their pricing, even over Cyber Monday or Cyber Week, or are just good deals that we wouldn't hesitate recommending if you wanted to make a purchase.
Many retailers have already dropped prices as low as they'll go for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales, and the likes of Newegg and Best Buy are offering their own kinds of price guarantees to give you some confidence in their current discounts.
