Best Black Friday PC gaming deals 2024: the best discounts in the run up to the big event

1. Yeyian Tanto gaming PC | Core i5 14400F | RTX 4060 Ti | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $1399.99 $999.99 at Newegg (save $400)
This is a sub-$1,000 RTX 4060 Ti gaming PC, which is a great price for a rig with this entry-level/midrange graphics card, and it even comes with speedy DDR5 RAM. Just be aware that the "F" in the name means it lacks integrated graphics, so if your 4060 Ti ever goes kaput, you'll have no video-out.

2. Yeyian Tanto | Intel Core i5 13400F | RTX 4070 | 16 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,599 $1,099.99 at Newegg (save $499.01)
RTX 4070 machines can vary in price and specification quite significantly, but here you're getting that great 1440p GPU (with even some 4K credentials thanks to DLSS 3), a nice and speedy Core i5 paired with some good DDR5 RAM, and a 1 TB SSD. For close to a thousand bucks, that's a really great selection of hardware that makes it a great gaming rig for more like budget prices. It doesn't have the 4070 Super might of the Skytech build above, but it has a more up-to-date CPU and RAM.

3. HP Victus | RTX 4070 | Ryzen 7 8845HS | 16.1-inch | 1080p | 144 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 5600| 512 GB SSD | $1,399.99 $899.99 at Best Buy (save $500)
This Victus might not be perfect, but the headline news here is that you get a 115 W RTX 4070 gaming laptop for RTX 4060 prices. It's only got a 1080p display, and that 512 GB SSD will fill up very quickly, but slam a cheap 1 TB SSD in there and this becomes a bit of a budget bargain.

4. HP Omen Transcend 14 | RTX 4060 | Core Ultra 7 155H | 14-inch | 120 Hz | 2880 x 1800 | OLED | 1 TB SSD | 16GB DDR5-7500 | $1,729.99 $1,359.99 at HP (save $330)
This lovely 14-incher is pretty expensive for an RTX 4060 but it's still one of the best compact gaming laptops around. You get an excellent OLED panel as standard and a 65W GPU if you use HP's configurator to match the specs above, and that will still deliver a quality gaming experience. Shame the battery life isn't so good, but that's small gaming laptops for you.

5. Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 | RTX 4080 | Core i9 13900H | 16-inch | 1600p | 240 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSD | $2,299.99 $1,899.99 at Best Buy (save $400)
This thin and light laptop might not have the OLED screen of the newer G16 models, but you still get an LED-backlit 240 Hz stunner of a panel. That, and some massive hardware horsepower in a thin and light chassis that'll look great no matter where you take it. A gorgeous little machine with some seriously impressive gaming performance.

6. ASRock Phantom Gaming | 27-inch | 1080p | 165 Hz | IPS | FreeSync | $179.99 $99.77 at Newegg (save $79.22)
ASRock has become a favorite of ours around here over busy shopping periods. These screens always seem to be on offer, and from the one we've used (read our review) they're good value for the money, too. You can't really complain with this 165Hz panel for just under $100.

7. Acer Nitro ED270U | 27-inch | 1440p | VA | FreeSync Premium | 170 Hz | $249.99 $139.99 at Newegg (save $110)
This is one of the best deals on a 1440p gaming monitor we've seen so far. A respectable brand and a respectable spec, although it might be worth holding out for an IPS panel. Still, a good price on a great little screen.

Price check: Amazon $169.99

8. MSI MAG 321UP | 32-inch | 165 Hz | QD-OLED | $829.99 $799.99 at Amazon (save $30)
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 more expensive OLED, otherwise, you're still getting a gorgeous 4K panel, with response times to die for, and pixel quality, I dunno, to live for? 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.

9. Team Group MP44L | 1 TB | M.2 2280 | PCIe 4.0 | 5,000 MB/s read | 4,500 MB/s write | $79.99 $57.99 at Newegg (save $22)
The MP44L is far from being the fastest SSD you can buy but for the money, you really can't complain. The read/write speeds are pretty low compared to others in our curated list, but they're still fast enough for most users and way better than a SATA SSD. If you avoid using it for heavy data transfers, you'll have no problems with it.

Price check: Amazon $57.99

10. Nextorage G-LE | 2 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,400 MB/s read | 6,400 MB/s write | $134.99 $107.99 at Amazon (save $27)
This DRAM-less Nextorage drive still has plenty of pace about it, and if you're just using it as an extra game library SSD to contend with your expanding library, but still need some storage speed, it's a great option. The extra cache can come in handy as a boot drive, increasing responsiveness for smaller write operations, but for games, this more affordable option can be a good way to save some cash on a new build or upgrade.

Price check: Newegg $134.99

Ipason gaming PC | Ryzen 5 5600G | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $599 $479 at Walmart (save $120)
The Ryzen 5 5600G's Vega GPU isn't going to get you playing the latest games at high resolutions, but for some lite 720p gaming it should do fine. The primary purpose to opt for a build like this, though, is to have a base that you can upgrade from with a proper discrete GPU. This one comes with a 1 TB SSD, too, which is very rare at this price point and is a big bonus.

Ipason gaming desktop | Ryzen 5 5600 | Radeon RX 7600 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1399 $689 at Newegg (save $710 for Newegg+ members with code NEPDXA564)
If you don't want to get busy with a screwdriver, Ipason has a budget offering with a built-in upgrade over its $489 5600G-sporting PC, this time with an RX 7600 GPU at its heart. That offers sometimes better than RTX 4060 gaming performance, and the full system comes with a solid back-up spec, too. The Ryzen 5 5600 might not be the latest and greatest but it's still very capable as a gaming CPU, and that 1 TB SSD gives you a decent amount of space for a few big games and all your files. Nobody would pay the supposed "original" price of $1399 for this rig, but at sub-$700 it's a genuinely good deal.

Yeyian Yumi | Core i5 12400F | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,199.99 $749.99 at Newegg (save $450)
Yeyian's Yumi PCs are a staple on this list because they're so often some of the best cheap gaming PC deals. This one's even cheaper than we've seen a decent RTX 4060 build for a while, though, as the previous Yumi build we highlighted here was $800 on sale. For $50 cheaper, this really is a steal of an entry-level build. Yes, the CPU is a couple of generations old and it only has 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, but for $750 we can't complain.

Yeyian Yumi | Ryzen 5 5600X | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,199 $799.99 at Newegg (save $399.01)
The Yumi is a bit of a classic when it comes to gaming PC deals, as it's always there or thereabouts. At the moment this is the cheapest RTX 4060-based PC we've found, and comes with a supporting spec that is absolutely solid, even if it's not the latest and greatest. The combination of DDR4 RAM and a previous-gen Ryzen 5 might not be top-end, but this machine will still deliver great performance for under a grand.

Yeyian Tanto gaming PC | Core i5 14400F | RTX 4060 Ti | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $1399.99 $999.99 at Newegg (save $400)
This is a sub-$1,000 RTX 4060 Ti gaming PC, which is a great price for a rig with this entry-level/midrange graphics card, and it even comes with speedy DDR5 RAM. Just be aware that the "F" in the name means it lacks integrated graphics, so if your 4060 Ti ever goes kaput, you'll have no video-out.

Yeyian Tanto | Intel Core i5 13400F | RTX 4070 | 16 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,599 $1,099.99 at Newegg (save $499.01)
RTX 4070 machines can vary in price and specification quite significantly, but here you're getting that great 1440p GPU (with even some 4K credentials thanks to DLSS 3), a nice and speedy Core i5 paired with some good DDR5 RAM, and a 1 TB SSD. For close to a thousand bucks, that's a really great selection of hardware that makes it a great gaming rig for more like budget prices. It doesn't have the 4070 Super might of the Skytech build above, but it has a more up-to-date CPU and RAM.

ABS Cyclone Aqua | Core i5 13400F | RTX 4070 | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $1,399.99 $1,159.99 at Newegg (save $240)
The Core i5 13400F might be on the lower end of Intel's range, but don't be fooled: it's still an excellent gaming chip, and plenty fast. 32 GB of DDR5-6000 is great to see at this low price, alongside the venerable RTX 4070 (original flavor) that still delivers excellent mid-range performance. Cheap this system may be, but it's got all the right components in all the right places. It also comes with your choice of Star Wars Outlaws or Assassin's Creed Shadows to test out that beefy GPU.

Sytech Blaze4 Mini | Ryzen 7 5700 | RTX 4070 Super | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,199.99 at Walmart
Someone hold the actual boat, because we have here an RTX 4070 Super build for $1,100, which is less than not only most RTX 4070 (non-Super) builds but even many RTX 4060 Ti builds. Yes, it has a CPU that's now two generations old, and yes it only has 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, and these (especially the latter) are significant sacrifices. But for a 4070 Super build at this price? Come on. I'll take that deal any day. The GPU is the most important component for gaming, after all. I would consider slapping in 32 GB of faster RAM down the line, though.

Yeyian Tanto | Intel Core i5 13400F | RTX 4070 Super | 16 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,599.99 $1,289.99 at Newegg (save $310)
Yeyian has a stellar deal on an RTX 4070 Super machine here. We've seen slightly cheaper versions on sale, but this one at least does have proper DDR5 memory, making the motherboard at least nominally upgradeable to a more modern spec. It does make a bit of an odd combo with the Core i5 here, though for straightforward gaming performance it shouldn't prove any issue and deliver high frame rates.

Skytech Shiva | Core i5 14400F | RTX 4070 Super | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | 1 TB SSD | $1559.99 $1,349.99 at Newegg (save $210)
This Skytech RTX 4070 Super build is $60 more than the Yeyian one above, but for that extra cost you're getting a slightly better CPU and an extra 16 GB of (admittedly slower) RAM. Plus, you get that lovely white chassis.

ABS Stratos Aqua | Core i7 14700F | RTX 4070 Super | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $1,899.99 $1,529.99 at Newegg (save $370)
This ABS build hits the sweet spot in high-end price-to-performance. The RTX 4070 Super is a solid graphics card that can handle pretty much anything you throw at it, and it's running alongside some fast RAM and a powerful CPU, here. 32 GB of DDR5-6000 RAM is particularly great at this price point, and the 20-core (8 P-Core) current-gen i7 rounds out the build nicely. A solid all-rounder with a very nice discount.

ABS Tempest Aqua Gaming PC | Core i7 14700F | RTX 4070 Ti Super | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $1,999.99 $1,749.99 at Newegg (save $250)
This ABS machine, in addition to housing the stellar RTX 4070 Ti Super, has 32 GB of speedy RAM, a high-end CPU, and heaps of RGB. In other words, all the prospective high-end gamer should need. It only has a 1 TB SSD, but that's one of the easiest components to upgrade down the line.

ABS Kaze Ruby | Ryzen 7 7700X | Nvidia RTX 4080 Super | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $2,399.99 $1,949.99 at Newegg (save $450)
With this rig, for less than $2,000 you're getting the most powerful graphics card barring the usually overkill RTX 4090, a CPU that's perfectly suitable for gaming, and 32 GB of fast DDR5 RAM. It should handle any game you throw on-screen with ease. The only real sacrifice is the 1 TB of storage, but that'll be easy to upgrade down the line. There's little not to love.

HP Omen 45L | Core i7 14700K | Nvidia RTX 4080 Super | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | 1 TB SSD | $2,749.99 $2,099 at Amazon (save $650.99)
Although the ABS build above is better value and has faster RAM, this is still a pretty stellar deal for an RTX 4080 Super gaming PC. It's a great alternative if you want something with a better CPU for productivity tasks, or if you just prefer the look of the HP rig.

Skytech Legacy | Ryzen 7 7800X3D | Nvidia RTX 4080 Super | 64 GB DDR5-5600 | 2 TB SSD | $3,299.99 $2,599.99 at Newegg (save $700)
The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the best gaming CPU out right now and in this build it's paired with what is the most powerful graphics card barring the ridiculously expensive RTX 4090. Throw in a whopping 64 GB of DDR5 RAM and this Skytech build has more than enough to demolish any game in its path. It even has 2 TB of storage, so you shouldn't go running out of space for game installs any time soon.

Cooler Master TD5 Pro | Core i9 14900KF | RTX 4090 | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 2 TB SSD | $3,299.99 $2,999.99 at Newegg (save $300)
Cooler Master's TD5 Pro line-up gives off some serious old-school vibes, but not in a bad way. Aesthetically it's very "traditional gaming PC", and it crams inside as much horsepower as it can. This is about as powerful of a gaming PC as you can buy right now, featuring the fastest graphics card and the fastest 14th Gen Intel CPU on the market. This is kept cool by a nice Cooler Master AIO cooler, too, so no worries on that front. For $3,000 it's a great flagship buy. Just ensure you install the latest Intel microcode update to prevent any stability issues.

ABS Kaze Aqua | Core i9 13900K | RTX 4090 | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 2 TB SSD | $3,699.99 $2,999.99 at Newegg (save $700)
You might still have to pay a pretty penny, but what you're getting here is the fastest gaming GPU you can currently buy in conjunction with a mega-fast i9 13900K and a healthy dose of DDR5. 2 TB of storage, too, which should give you plenty of room for a load of games and files. Deciding between this one and the Skytech Azure probably comes down to whether you want a CPU purely for gaming or for productivity, too. And whether you mind having to install a microcode update to keep this i9 build stable.

HP Victus | RTX 4070 | Ryzen 7 8845HS | 16.1-inch | 1080p | 144 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 5600| 512 GB SSD | $1,399.99 $899.99 at Best Buy (save $500)
This Victus might not be perfect, but the headline news here is that you get a 115 W RTX 4070 gaming laptop for RTX 4060 prices. It's only got a 1080p display, and that 512 GB SSD will fill up very quickly, but slam a cheap 1 TB SSD in there and this becomes a bit of a budget bargain.

MSI Katana 15 | RTX 4070 | Intel Core i7-13620H | 16-inch | 144 Hz | 1200p | 1 TB SSD | 16 GB DDR5 | $1,142.99 at Amazon
You're only getting a 1080p screen here, which is a bit of a shame as the rest of the components are all rather excellent. Still, that RTX 4070 will have no problem pushing that 144 Hz panel to its limits in many games at that res, plus the 10 core (six P-core, four Efficient) CPU has some decent DDR5 to play with. It's not perfect, but for this money it's an excellent deal.

HP Omen Transcend 14 | RTX 4060 | Core Ultra 7 155H | 14-inch | 120 Hz | 2880 x 1800 | OLED | 1 TB SSD | 16GB DDR5-7500 | $1,729.99 $1,359.99 at HP (save $330)
This lovely 14-incher is pretty expensive for an RTX 4060 but it's still one of the best compact gaming laptops around. You get an excellent OLED panel as standard and a 65W GPU if you use HP's configurator to match the specs above, and that will still deliver a quality gaming experience. Shame the battery life isn't so good, but that's small gaming laptops for you.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 | RTX 4070 | Core i7 14700HX | 18-inch | 165 Hz | 1600p | 16 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSD | $1,749.99 $1,479.99 at Newegg (save $270)
If you want to throw portability out the window and go large, how about this Acer? It's got a huge (for a laptop) 18-inch 165 Hz LED backlit IPS display, and a 140 W TGP RTX 4070 to keep all 1600p of it duly fed. It's not something you're likely to want to haul around too often, but if you're the sort of person that likes to keep your lappy at home for multi-room gaming, it's a great shout for the price.

Gigabyte Aorus 17H | RTX 4070 | Core i7 13700H | 17.3-inch | 1440p | 240 Hz | 16 GB DDR5-4800 | 1 TB SSD | $1,749 $1,503.63 at Amazon (save $245.37)
This is a big laptop that, for once, hasn't been packed with the most power-hungry and heat producing components, which is refreshing. That Core i7 is easier to keep cool than an i9 and it's a more suitable match for the 140W RTX 4070 alongside, which should have no problem pushing 1440p res gaming to that screen. Speaking of which, that 240 Hz panel is very speedy indeed, especially for this price.

Gigabyte Aorus | RTX 4070 | Core i7 13650HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 165 Hz | 32 GB DDR5-4800 | 1 TB SSD | $1,699.99 $1,549.99 at Best Buy (save $150)
This Gigabyte has a nicely balanced set of components, what with a mobile Core i7 with six Performance cores and eight Efficient matched with a 140 W RTX 4070 handling the graphics. 32 GB of DDR5 memory is good to see at this price as well, although admittedly it's not the fastest. Still, a well-weighted laptop for the money.

Acer Predator Triton Neo 16 | RTX 4070 | Core Ultra 9 185H | 16-inch | 2000p | 165 Hz | 32 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSD | $1,899.99 $1,599.99 at Amazon (save $300)
Let's start with a caveat—the chassis here isn't exactly beautiful. But everything else about this laptop is great for the price, including a 140 W RTX 4070, a 16 core (six Performance, eight Efficient) Meteor Lake chip and a 16-inch 2000p LED backlit IPS display. That resolution might be a bit much for the RTX 4070 in demanding games, but there's always DLSS 3 to keep the frame rate smooth. 32 GB of DDR5 is great to see, too.

Lenovo Legion Pro 5i | RTX 4070 | Core i9 14900HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 165 Hz | 32 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,899.99 $1,599.99 at Best Buy (save $300)
We've been big fans of Lenovo's gaming laptops for a while now, and this one is specced very well for the cash. Sitting at the heart of this machine is Intel's monstrous 24 core mobile CPU, the Core i9 14900HX, paired in this case with a 140W RTX 4070. It's also got 32 GB of fast DDR5, which is much more like it in 2024 compared to a lot of the 16 GB models we see on the regular.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 | RTX 4070 | Ryzen 9 8945HS | 14-inch | 1800p | 120 Hz | 32 GB DDR5-6400 | 1 TB SSD |
