Best Black Friday PC gaming deals 2024: the best discounts on the best gaming gear

1. Horizon Core | Core i5-12400F | Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti | 32 GB DDR4 | 1 TB SSD | £899.99 £799.99 at CCL (save £100)
This Horizon rig offers a great, value-conscious way of getting into PC gaming with a solid all-round entry-level build. The RTX 4060 Ti is great for 1080p gaming and even some lite 1440p gaming, and while the 12400F is a couple generations old, now, it's still fine for gaming and everyday tasks. 32 GB RAM and 1 TB storage is nice at this price point, too.

2. Alienware AW3225QF | 32-inch | 4K | 240 Hz | QD-OLED | £989.01 £793.24 at Dell (save £195.77 with promo code AFF5MON)
The gorgeous Alienware 32-inch OLED is currently the screen attached to the PC Gamer test rig, and it's a stunner. The panel is gorgeous, with a slight curve, and a tight pixel pitch thanks to its 4K native resolution. It was only the price which stopped it taking top-spot in our best gaming monitor guide, and with the current Black Friday discounts it's as cheap as it's ever been.

3. Gigabyte G5 | RTX 4060 | Core i5 13500H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144 Hz | 16 GB DDR5-4800 | 512 GB SSD | £849.99 £749 at Currys (save £100.99)
We're big fans of this little budget gaming laptop, and our Jacob loved its great gaming performance (check out our review). With some genuine 1080p gaming chops on offer for a substantially lower price than we've seen previously, this makes for a tidy little gaming laptop for not much cash at all.

Price check: Amazon £799 (OOS)

4. Secretlab Titan Evo | Leatherette | Magnetic cushions | £469 £439 at Secretlab (save £30)
The Titan Evo is our favorite gaming chair at the moment, and has been for the longest time. It's the benchmark by which we judge all other gaming chairs—it's comfortable, supportive, and easy to assemble. The holy trinity. Buying direct from Secretlab is the only way to pick up this chair at this price.

5. ASRock Phantom PG27FF1A | 27-inch | 1080p | 165 Hz | IPS | £131.48 £104.97 at Amazon (save £26.51)
It's pretty wild what you can get these days for a relatively small sum of money. This is a 27-inch monitor for roughly the same price as some smaller 24-inch panels, and it still rocks an IPS display, 1ms response time, and a 165 Hz refresh rate. Fantastic for gaming on a budget.

Price check: Overclockers £119.99

6. Lexar NM790 | 1 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,400 MB/s read | 6,500 MB/s write | £69.40 £63.99 at Amazon (save £5.41)
You'll only find a few 1 TB SSDs going cheaper than this Lexar drive, and none are as good value. We really liked what this drive had to offer in our review, delivering performance right at the top end of what PCIe 4.0 is capable of, all for a low price.

1. CCL Horizon | Core i5 12400F | RTX 4070 | 32 GB DDR4-3200 | 2 TB SSD | £1,199.99 £1,099.99 at CCL (Save £100)
Ideally I'd want the RTX 4070 to be a little under the £1,000 mark, but despite having a lower-end six-core Intel CPU (that will be just fine with that GPU, to be fair), you are still getting a full 32 GB of, admittedly DDR4, memory and a chonky 2 TB SSD. That's going to leave you with a great mid-range gaming PC for a decent price.

ADMI Gaming PC| Core i5 12400F | RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | £699.95 at Amazon
Yes, this six-core, 12-thread CPU is now two generations old but for the money, you really can't complain. Well, a bit more RAM would have been nice, but you're not going to get many gaming PCs with an RTX 4060 and a 12th Gen i5 for less than £800. The PSU is only rated to 500W, however, so if you're planning on using this as a base to upgrade in the future, you might need a better supply unit for a top-end GPU.

Cyberpower Luxe | Core i9 12900KF | RTX 4080 Super | 1 TB SSD | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | £1,929 at Amazon
This Cyberpower Luxe comes equipped with the fantastic Core i9 12900KF, in combination with an RTX 4080 Super that can churn through frames in any game. You also get a very fancy corner window case to show off those RGB-lit fans, making this PC a stunning looker with a serious gaming grunt to match.

Steam Deck LCD | SteamOS | 256 GB | £349 at Steam
There's no deal on the Steam Deck right now, but since the launch of the OLED model, you can buy the mid-sized LCD for a good price. It's still a wicked handheld, too, most of all because of its custom SteamOS operating system.

ROG Ally | Z1 Extreme | 7-inch screen | 16 GB RAM | 512 GB SSD | £499 £399 at Amazon (save £100)
If you're eyeing up a handheld gaming PC for the holiday period, you can't go wrong with the ROG Ally. This is the version with the full-power chip inside it, the Z1 Extreme, which is absolutely the version to go for. It's a savvy handheld that's still worth a look even with the improved ROG Ally X on the market. Most importantly, it's now the price of a Steam Deck but more powerful and runs Windows 11, which is both a good and bad thing.

Lenovo Legion Go | Z1 Extreme | 8.8-inch screen | 16 GB RAM | 512 GB SSD | £699.99 £479 at Amazon (save £220.99)
The Legion Go is a lot like the ROG Ally crossed with a Nintendo Switch, and much bigger than both. It has detachable controllers, one of which can turn into a mouse, and which make for a simple relaxed set-up. The big screen runs at 1600p, which is great for browsing Windows 11, but not really in the ballpark of the Z1 Extreme chip in terms of playable performance. Still, you can run it at 1080p just fine, and this is one of the more polished gaming handhelds on the market.

This laptop does something out of character for budget machines: it comes with more than 16 GB of RAM. Yep, that's 24 GB across TWO sticks of DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM. It doesn't let up on the storage either, with a 1 TB drive and a slot for another. The screen is your average 1080p unit but that's fine for the money. In fact, the whole laptop is. You can check out the detailed specs here.

A slightly odd set of components here, but if you're looking for a large-screen laptop with decent gaming performance at a budget price point, this is a darn good shout. That large screen might be only 1080p, but it's super speedy, and it's well matched with an RTX 4060 and a 12th Gen (but still performant) Intel mobile chip.

Asus TUF F15 | RTX 4070 | Core i7 12700H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144 Hz | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | £1,199.99 £949.99 at Amazon (save £250)
For just a smidge under a grand, this laptop has a properly excellent spec sheet for the cash. The screen might be 1080p, but that just means that RTX 4070 will have no problems cranking frames towards that 144 Hz panel. The CPU is still a bit of a mobile barnstormer too, and you get a proper 1 TB SSD for storage.

It's a seriously large laptop but if you're looking for a huge screen and some mega components to match, this is a superb pick for the money. That RTX 4070 should be able to keep that big IPS panel fed with pixels thanks to DLSS 3, and the Core i7 processor here will have no problems keeping up. Big, beastly, and surprisingly good value.

This might not technically be on discount, but it's still a lot of laptop for the cash. Here you get a 2000p speedy panel in combination with an efficient yet very gaming-capable CPU, paired with 32 GB of RAM and a decent 1 TB SSD. It's not the prettiest machine, but it's a very portable, very powerful gaming powerhouse in a slim chassis.

When it comes to the hardware running under the bonnet, this 16-inch MSI Vector certainly has the goods, what with that Intel Core i9 processor and an RTX 4080 making a very tempting package indeed. Bit of a shame about the 1200p display and 16GB of RAM, but at least the screen's a good 'un with a 144Hz refresh rate and a nice and bright panel. There's a huge amount of performance here, making this machine a sizeable chunk of power for just under £1,700.

ASRock RX 6600 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 1,792 shaders | 2,491 MHz boost | £209.99 £188.99 at Overclockers (save £21)
The RX 6600 is a quality 1080p GPU and great value for money if you can score it cheap enough. You're getting a budget graphics card that delivers high frame rates in the latest games at top 1080p graphics presets. At least AMD and Intel are bringing GPU pricing down.

As the budget baby of the RDNA 3 family, the RX 7600 faces a lot of competition. Not just from Intel and Nvidia, but from AMD's previous generation of cards too. At this price, though, it's a lot cheaper than the RX 6700 XT and in some games, it performs nearly as well. Dare I say that it's a little bit dull?

While the RTX 4060 isn't exactly one of our favourite graphics cards of all time, it's still capable of delivering good 1080p and 1440p performance thanks to DLSS 3. This little model has a twin-fan cooler and should slot into almost any modern system with no fuss at all. At this price, as budget GPUs go, it's a bit of a steal.

The RTX 4060 Ti might not have blown our socks off when it first arrived, but it's a great budget gaming GPU at this price with some chunky performance for the money. While there is a 16 GB variant available, 8 GB here should do you just fine, despite the fuss that was created around its launch.

The best card at this price point used to be the 6800 XT but now we're starting to see deals like this one, where the newer 7800 XT has the same price tag or lower. It's only a little bit faster than the card it's replaced but you're still getting a lotta GPU for the money.

The RTX 4070 has been an absolute stalwart of this generation of GPUs, delivering superb mid-range performance for something approaching reasonable money. At this price, it makes a great upgrade option for those who have held out for good discounts on this generation of graphics cards, and thanks to DLSS, it should keep on kicking for quite some time yet.

The RTX 4070 Super still feels like it's only been out for five minutes, but here it is with a particularly decent discount. We found it was between 10% to 18% faster than the OG RTX 4070, although whether that's worth the price difference compared to the deal above is something for you to decide for yourself. Still, it's a fantastic mid-range gaming card.

Seeing a bunch of RX 7900 XTs selling for well less than the original MSRP is a welcome sight, and while they might get overshadowed by some of Nvidia's greatest, they deliver a huge amount of performance. What we like about the XFX with its triple-fan array in particular is that it should run quieter than your average RX 7900 XT. We could all do with a little less noise from our PC.

This is quite the jump in pricing compared to the RTX 4070 Super, but it's quite the jump in performance, too. If you're looking for a card that can really deliver the goods yet can't quite stretch to the RTX 4080 Super below, the RTX 4070 Ti Super is a seriously powerful GPU that would be worthy of any gaming rig.

AMD's mighty RX 7900 XTX is now easy to find well under its original MSRP and it's a seriously powerful graphics card. While it's not as potent in ray tracing and AI/machine learning as Nvidia's equivalent cards, it handles standard rendering extremely well and you're getting more VRAM than you could ever want.

The RTX 4080 Super handily supersedes the original RTX 4080, as it's a little bit faster and has a lower MSRP. Here at £980, it still makes a whole lot of sense, even if that's still a lot of money to be spending on one component. Still, it can only really be beaten by the RTX 4090, and good luck finding one of those for anything under £1,500.

The TC100 Relaxed is our favourite affordable gaming chair right now, following up on the popular T3 Rush with a great look and genuine comfort. And on a personal note, the fact it allows you to sit cross-legged is a big plus for the TC100 and a big cross against most bucket seat style chairs. It's not technically on discount yet, and may well drop in price later, but this is still a superb price for a truly excellent chair.

What a difference a letter makes... especially when it comes to gaming monitors. The code names given to monitors are often impenetrable, but the difference between this MAG 321UP and the MAG321UPX is that this one has a 165 Hz refresh instead of 240 Hz. That's the only difference between this and the more expensive one. If you're not concerned about the refresh rate difference (and do you have the hardware to hit a matching 240 fps otherwise?) then this is where the smart OLED money is spent.

If you don't have enough M.2 NVMe slots on your motherboard for more storage, don't worry; you can still install an SSD via a SATA port. The Crucial MX500 is pretty much the best one out there, as nothing else offers the same blend of performance and value for money as the MX500. It's also available in 2 TB and 4 TB sizes, with the prices scaling on par with the storage capacity, though it is much slower than an NVMe drive.

Lexar NM790 | 2 TB | PCIe 4.0 | 7,400 MB/s read | 6,500 MB/s write | £123.99 £119.99 at Amazon (save £4)
Lexar has put together a superb SSD in the NM790, and the best part is that it's surprisingly cheap. Thanks to high-layer NAND and a low-power controller, you can get tons of storage here on an energy-efficient and great-performing drive for not much cash and often for much less cash than the competition. Read our Lexar NM790 (4 TB) review for more.

WD Black SN850X | 2 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,300 MB/s read | 6,600 MB/s write | £402.07 £129.25 at Amazon (save £272.81)
Ignore the overall savings figure here, as the original list price is well out of date. However, this is still one of our favourite SSDs for gaming right now. Unlike the cheaper SN770, the SN850X encapsulates the best PCIe 4.0 offers in terms of performance (check out our review). That makes it a great fit for a boot drive with space to spare for your game library, and at this price, we're happy to pay the premium for its higher speed.

Silicon Power XS70 | 2 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,300 MB/s read | 6,800 MB/s write | £127.99 at Amazon
Prices for the XS70 are some of the most variable I've seen for an SSD, so it's perhaps worth waiting to see if the price dips again before picking one up. It packs rather a large bang for your buck with its fast read and write times, at least. While the software side of things may be a little lacking, we were impressed with this drive's overall performance and value proposition.

Lexar NM790 | 4 TB | NVMe | PCIE 4.0 | 7,400 MB/s read | 6,500 MB/s write | £219.98 at Scan
It's a lot of money to spend on a storage drive but it's actually great value for money. Trying to find a high-quality 4 TB SSD around £200 in the UK is pretty impossible right now but this Lexar is well worth the extra money. There are cheaper SSDs with the same capacity but they won't have anywhere near the same performance or longevity.

Crucial X9 Pro | 1 TB | USB 3.2 Gen2 | Up to 1,050 MB/s read and write | £80.76 £67.99 at Amazon (save £12.77)
Crucial is a big name in SSDs, and the Micron-owned brand is offering a small saving on this 1TB external model. The drive comes in an anodized aluminium shell with a rubberized base and is just 65 x 50 mm big. There's an integrated lanyard hole too, if you want to wear it, which hides a drive activity light. If this isn't enough storage for you, the 2 TB version is only £91.99 on Amazon.

Samsung T7 Shield | 2 TB | USB 3.2 Gen2 | Up to 1,050 MB/s read and write | £162.49 £125.99 at Amazon (save £36.50)
Samsung's external drives have a better recent history than its internal SSDs, so we've no hesitation in recommending the T7 for any professional looking for a large amount of storage that can be safely taken from place to place. They're designed to be rugged and fast, and they're available in three colours. Don't forget that you'll need to have a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port in your PC to get the best speed.

If you need a small external SSD but don't want to sacrifice capacity or performance, then Crucial's X10 Pro is a great choice. It's the same size as the X6 model but has double the read/write performance, though you will need to plug it into a 20 Gbps USB port to reach full speed.

It'd be nice if that package also included a USB-C charging cable, but for most gamers with a cable horde of their own, this is a well-judged omission. The build quality can't stand shoulder to shoulder with Elite controllers, but for something both light in the hands and light on price, it's tough to argue against.

If you have an AMD AM4 motherboard and it's currently sporting an older Ryzen processor, the 5700X is a really cheap way to upgrade your gaming PC's number of CPU cores and threads. With a TDP of just 65 W, it's easy to cool and it's even unlocked for a spot of overclocking.

Yes, it's an old CPU but Intel's first stab at a hybrid architecture was pretty decent for gaming. Just think of it as being an eight-core, 16-thread processor with a few extra 'background task' cores.

While you'd never pay full price for a Ryzen 5000-series processor these days, it's still pretty amazing that you can get a 32-thread CPU for this kind of money.

No, you haven't misread that price, it really is $1,300 worth of wireless routers. But hear me out. If you have a very large house and you're using a single router, you'll almost certainly have signal dead spots everywhere. Mesh systems solve this problem by providing a continuous single network that you can seamlessly move about. Amazon's Eero Max 7 is very easy to set up and use, as we found when we reviewed it. With three units in this package, you could set up a wireless network on a small farm.
