Hello! Welcome to our live coverage of Cyber Monday gaming PC deals. My name is Duncan and I’m the Hardware Editor here at GamesRadar. I had loads of fun bringing you live coverage of Black Friday deals this past week, and I’m excited to get the ball rolling here.
So we’re on the same page, here’s what I’ll be aiming for. With times as hard as they are, and gaming PCs as expensive as they are, my main goal is to bring you the most affordable prices on genuinely decent machines. With SSDs being at ridiculously low prices this year, and a new 40 series of GPUs being released, it’s an amazing time to look for gaming pc deals that make use of the 30 series, and at least 512GB of SSD storage. There are some great deals already that use older and lesser components than that, but if your budget can stretch to the kinds of PCs I’m looking for, they’re definitely worth buying.
Without further ado – let’s get going!
Skytech Blaze 3.0 | $2,399.99 $1,699.99 at Newegg
We’re starting strong! This Skytech Blaze 3.0 is at an excellent price considering it isn’t even Monday yet. For only $1,699.99 at Newegg, you save $700 from its listing price.
Inside you’ll get an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, an RTX 3080, 1TB of NVME SSD storage, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and Newegg’s standard free shipping. When I logged in to get our live coverage started today, I didn’t expect to see an RTX 3080 gaming PC under $1,700, but here we are. This is a solid build that will save you any upgrades for a while to come. It’s also worth noting that at Newegg you have the option to buy into the Allstate protection plan and get a year’s free Nord VPN, 3DMark 2022, and ESET NOD32 Antivirus.
Not a bad way to kick things off at all.
UK: AlphaSync Pure Base 500 | £2,029.98 £1,889.99 at eBuyer
CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme | $1,449.99 $1,199.99 at Best Buy
Taking a step down the RTX 30 Series ladder, here’s a deal from Best Buy that gets you an RTX 3070 gaming PC for under $1,200, saving you $250 from the normal price.
Inside this Gamer Supreme Gaming Desktop we have an AMD Ryzen 7 5700, 16GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD, and the RTX 3070, all for the low, low price of $1,199.99. The PC as a whole isn’t too hard on the eyes either.
If that’s a little over-budget for you, and you don’t have need for the power an RTX 3070 gives you, there’s a cheaper configuration on offer too. For just $949.99 you can get the same CPU and RAM, an RTX 3060, and 1TB of HDD combined with 500GB of SSD.
If you’re willing to take a hit on CPU and GPU in order to save even more money, there’s also a version with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X that’s only $849.99.
UK: AlphaSync Pure Base | £1,329 £1,309 at eBuyer
iBUYPOWER SlateMESH Gaming Desktop | $1,249.99 $974.99 at Best Buy
iBUYPOWER is one of our favourite gaming PC brands, and you’ll find some amazing Cyber Monday gaming PC deals on its hardware all over the US. Best Buy, for example, currently has a SlateMESH configuration going for $974.99. It pulls together a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, 1TB of HDD backed by 500GB of SSD, and an RTX 3060.
UK: Acer Predator Orion 3000 | £1,149.99 £999.99 at eBuyer
While this UK equivalent has a step down in terms of SSD and CPU power, it’s still a great deal since you’re getting an Acer Predator Orion 3000 and an RTX 3060 under a grand. Like I’ve mentioned, SSD is currently at its lowest ever price, so there are definitely some cheap Cyber Monday SSD deals you can make the most of to give this gaming PC a boost. Keep in mind, you’re still getting 1TB of SSD as a back up.
Alienware Aurora R13 | $1,979.99 $1,499.99 at Dell
Since we’re getting the ball rolling before the big day, here’s your chance to get in early on offers for our favourite gaming PC. The Alienware Aurora R13 is currently reduced in various configurations at Dell. This version is powered by a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU, an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT GPU, 16GB of DDR5, and 512GB of SSD. With a saving of $480, you can grab this R13 build at just $1,499.99. We may see better value versions of it tomorrow, but I’d say this is a good one to grab early.
If you’ve got more money saved up for Cyber Monday gaming PC deals, there’s also a limited-quantity offer going at the moment on a much beefier version. For $2,499.99 you get an R13 with a 12th Gen Intel Core i9, Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti, 32GB of DDR5, and 1TB of HDD backed by 1TB of SATA SSD.
UK: Alienware Aurora R13 | £1,979.01 £1,579.01 at Dell
iBUYPOWER Trace MR258i | $1,299 $1,099 at Walmart
We’re still seeing this iBUYPOWER RTX 3060 PC up for just a hair over $1,000 at Walmart – an excellent offer if you’re looking to spend but not invest. You’re picking up a solid Ryzen 7 5700 configuration here, with 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD to see you through all the latest games. This was already a well-priced rig, but a $200 discount down from $1,299 certainly helps – you’re securing everything for just $1,099 today (opens in new tab).
CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme | $1,999.99 $1,679.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Packing an impressive i9-12900KF processor and RTX 3080 GPU, this CyberPowerPC is an excellent option if you’re after a little more power under the hood. There’s a $320 discount on this rig in Best Buy’s Cyber Monday gaming PC deals, which means you’re picking up the whole system for just $1,679.99 (was $1,999.99) (opens in new tab) at Best Buy. Add a 1TB SSD into the mix and you’ve got yourself a seriously powerful machine.
Acer Gaming Desktop Nitro 50 | $1,199.99 $789.99 at Newegg (opens in new tab)
(opens in new tab)
One of the best RTX 3050 build deals is still available for $789.99 (opens in new tab). This cost of entry is great for futureproofing, ultimately saving you lots of money in the long run as upgrades should be kept to a minimum. With the Acer Nitro 50, you take away a 1TB HDD backed by 512GB of SSD, a 12th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. Naturally, this all comes accompanied by the RTX 3050. Worth considering for a great entry-level budget gaming PC.
iBUYPOWER TraceMR Gaming Desktop | $1,449.99 $1,149.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
(opens in new tab)
A saving of $300 gets you this ultra-slick iBUYPOWER TraceMR Gaming Desktop with a built-in RTX 3070 ready to go. At a discounted price of $1,149.99 (opens in new tab), this is great value for money and will be hard to beat over the coming weeks. Thankfully, there are lots of deals surrounding the iBUYPOWER, so if this one isn’t for you, there’s a good chance there’s one out there (opens in new tab) that will be.
HP Omen 40L RTX 3060 gaming PC | $1,449.99 $999.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
(opens in new tab)
Now, this is a saving. For less than a grand, you can take home this highly recommended HP Omen 40L RTX 3060 gaming PC with an i5-12400F processor, 16GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD. At $999.99 (opens in new tab), it’s one of the cheapest prices we’ve seen for this particular build and is likely not to drop further, so if interested, now is the time to invest.
Alienware Aurora R14 RX 6600 XT gaming PC | $1,729.99 $1,299.99 at Dell (opens in new tab)
If you’re after the luxuries of the Alienware Aurora R14, you’ll want to check out this excellent $1,299.99 sale price (opens in new tab) on the RX 6600 XT model. You’re picking up a Ryzen 7 5800 processor, 512GB SSD, and 16GB RAM in this configuration – solid value considering the engineering inside this towers. All in all, there’s $430 worth of savings up for grabs here, clearing out that $1,729.99 MSRP nicely.
CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme RTX 3050 gaming PC | $1,099.99 $779.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
After something under $1,000? The CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme makes some nice spec choices to keep your price low, and this RTX 3050 configuration is no different. You’re saving $320 on this build at Best Buy, dropping that $1,099.99 MSRP down to $779.99 right now (opens in new tab). You’ll find an Intel i5-12600KF processor with 16GB RAM supporting it in here, as well as that RTX 3050 GPU and 500GB SSD to boot. That all boils down to some fantastic value for money – we’re seeing GTX 1650 configurations offering just 8GB RAM at this kind of price elsewhere.
Alienware Aurora R13 RTX 3090 gaming PC | $3,699.99 $2,999.99 at Dell (opens in new tab)
(opens in new tab)
This is one of the beefiest Intel Alienware models available, and at $2,999.99 (opens in new tab), it’s also packing one of Dell’s best deals. That sure is a big number with a comma in it, but to be fair, we don’t often see pre-built rigs with these components lead with a 2. This is right behind the granddaddy Aurora R15, and especially with this discount, it’s far better for price-to-performance.
The base Aurora R13 comes loaded with an i9-12900KF at 3.2GHz, a 24GB GeForce RTX 3090, 32GB of DDR5 (4400MHz) RAM, and a spacious 2TB M.2 SSD. You do have the option to double the RAM, but I would never recommend 64GB of RAM for gaming. This is already a top-of-the-line luxury build, and one that will demolish any game you play for probably a decade and change, and with $700 knocked off the price, it can start to look a little more reasonable for less hardcore enthusiasts who do want something premium and future-proof.
Morning folks! The Cyber Monday gaming PC deals are upon us, which means we’re entering the final stretch of the sales event. While there are still many decent offers to take advantage of, we’d definitely recommend hitting checkout sooner than later – they won’t last forever, and you typically see offers running out as Cyber Monday comes to a close. Basically, don’t hang about.
HP Omen 40L RTX 3060 gaming PC | $1,449.99 $999.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
(opens in new tab)
Of all the reductions I’ve seen so far for the Cyber Monday gaming PC deals, this might be one of my favorites overall. Getting you a very respectable RTX 3060 graphics card, i5-12400F processor, 16GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD, it’s something of a steal at under $1K. We can’t imagine it’ll get any cheaper than $999.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab), so it’d be a good idea to get on it now if you’re interested to avoid disappointment.
HP Pavilion AMD Radeon RX 6600XT gaming PC | $1,239.99 $799.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
You’re getting an excellent price on a Ryzen 7 5700G / Radeon RX 6600XT rig in Amazon’s latest Cyber Monday gaming PC deals. This is a fantastic configuration for just $799.99 (opens in new tab), so that $440 discount is working particularly hard for you in the power arena. The 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD are solid as well – they’re pretty standard fare, but we’re starting to see more and more 8GB RAM / 256GB SSD models creeping in at this low price point at this point in the sales.
MSI MPG Trident AS RTX 3070 gaming PC | $2,099.99 $1,549.99 at Newegg (opens in new tab)
The distinctive MSI MPG Trident is on sale, and this RTX 3070 configuration has dropped down to $1,549.99 at Newegg (opens in new tab) right now. You’re picking up the latest i7-12700F CPU here, as well as 1TB of SSD storage and 16GB RAM. All that, packed with an RTX 3070 graphics card and MSI’s unique RGB-laden chassis design, makes for an excellent offer – you’re saving $550 all in here.
Dell XPS desktop | $1,709.99 $1,199.99 at Dell
Now, hear us out on this: gaming PCs don’t necessarily all look the same – or even as you might expect. You can even find PCs that play games well (rather than gaming PCs, per se) that offer great value this Cyber Monday. This might even be a way of avoiding brands and retailers upping the cost of pre-builts due to slapping the word gaming on products too. Anyway, this XPS desktop build is centered around the brilliant RTX 3060 Ti and an i7-12700 Intel CPU which will comfortably chew through games for you. A solid pre-built PC deal from a reliable and solid brand. Nice.
Alienware Aurora Ryzen Edition R14 | $2,279.99 $2,199.99 at Dell
But some gaming desktops do very much look like typical gaming desktops, and none more so than Alienware’s Aurora line – a line you’ll almost certainly see us highlight more than once in this live blog, as the deals are so good on a number of machines.
This one is probably the best price of an Alienware 3080 Ti-machine we’ve ever seen actually – and one that is great beyond Alienware too! We can’t any such PCs that beat that price and only a few that match it. Great value on a super-powerful beast!
UK: £3,299 £2,479 at Dell is the closest UK build we can find (and still representa a good price on such a premium build!)
Yayian Katana X10 RTX 3060 Ti PC | $1,399 $949 at Newegg
This is borderline-ridiculous price for an RTX 3060 Ti PC, and the lowest price we’ve seen on a rig built around that splendid card. You have to make a small compromise with the i5 processor being 11th gen and not from more recent lines, but otherwise this is a spectacular price for a build that also bags you a 500GB SSD, 16GB of RAM, and also Warhammer 40,000: Darktide thrown in too.
UK: The lowest price on a similar build (i.e. the cheapest RTX 3060 Ti PC) we can find is this XG Gaming Desktop at ebuyer for £899.99 – which is also great value for money.
Skytech Chronos Mini | $999.99 $899.99 at Newegg
Here’s something cheap, cheerful, and great for anyone who is looking for their first gaming PC.
The RTX 3050 is the entry-level 30 Series GPU, but it’s still capable of getting you over 100 FPS in games like Valorant and Rainbow Six Siege, if you configure your settings well enough. In this deal you get a RGB loaded Skytech Chronos Mini case that’s powered by an Intel Core i5 12400F CPU, the RTX 3050, 1TB of SSD storage, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM.
This would make a fantastic first gaming PC, and with the 40 series GPUs coming out, you could most probably get a higher-end card on the cheap in a year’s time should you really need the upgrade. For $899.99, this is a great deal for budget buyers.
UK: ASUS ROG Strix (RTX 3060) | £1,626 £899.99 at eBuyer
ICYMI: Skytech Blaze 3.0 | $2,399.99 $1,699.99 at Newegg
This deal went live yesterday, and it’s absolutely bonkers. It’s a gaming PC with an RTX 3080 which is seeing a $700 reduction at Newegg.
For only $1,699, the price of some RTX 3060-3060 Ti machines usually, you get the following. An AMD Ryzen 7 5800X processor, the RTX 3080, 1TB of SSD, and 16GB of DDR4. In a perfect world you’d maybe have more RAM to prevent some bottlenecking, but with the saving you get on this PC, there’s bound to be space in your budget left over for RAM upgrades, should you want them.
In my opinion, you’re unlikely to find high-end configurations like this at this low a price at any other time of the year.
UK: AlphaSynch Pure Base 500 | £2,029.98 £1,889.99 at eBuyer
Lenovo Legion Tower 5 | $1,399 $1,099.99 at Best Buy
The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 is a fantastic gaming PC that even appears on our favourites list. In this deal from Best Buy you’re getting a really decent mid-range build, as well as 3 months of Xbox GamePass that will help fill out your gaming library after splashing out on some new hardware.
Inside you’ll get an AMD Ryzen 7-5800 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and an RTX 3060 GPU. Storage could be better – you’ll only get 256GB of SSD backed by 1TB of HDD. Having said that, you still have time to make the most of Cyber Monday SSD deals, and they’re worth looking into. SSD is at its lowest ever price at the moment, so you may be able to get a substantial upgrade with the $300 saving you get yourself in this deal.
UK: Lenovo Legion Tower 5 | £999.99 at Argos
Alienware Aurora R13 | $1,871 $1,349.99 at Dell
Maybe the Aurora R13 and R14 deals we shared earlier were a little to expensive for you. If so, this limited-quantity deal from Dell might be more up your street. For $1,349.99 you get our current top gaming PC, a free copy of Warhammer Darktide, and a year of Dell’s premium support.
Keeping the lights on here is a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU, an RTX 3060 Ti, 512GB of SSD storage, and 16GB of DDR5 RAM.
This is a really sound configuration, and the DDR5 RAM in particular will give you some futureproofing if you decide to upgrade some parts down the line. Also, do note that if Dell is saying it’s in “limited-quantity” at this point of Cyber Monday, it might pay to get on it quickly if you’re interested.
UK: Alienware Aurora R13 (RTX 3060 with One Month of GamePass) | £1,979.01 £1,579.01 at Dell
UK: Alienware Aurora R13 (RTX 3070) | £2,219 £1,779 at Dell
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate | $1 for the first month at Xbox
If you’re looking to bolster your game library this Cyber Monday, here’s a chance for you to get hundreds of them for – we’re not kidding – $1.
Xbox GamePass has cemented itself as one of the best gaming streaming / subscription services in the industry in the last few years, and this is a chance to give it a try with very limited risk. Right now you can start a subscription for just $1 (or £1 in the UK) and see how you like the library of over 300 games. If you don’t want to then continue paying $14.99 a month, you can always cancel before your second bill is due.
iBUYPOWER TraceMR RTX 3080 gaming PC | $1,849.99 $1,499.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
It’s not everyday you find an RTX 3080 gaming PC for under $1,500, but Cyber Monday is no normal every day. Best Buy has a $350 discount on this i7-12700KF iBUYPOWER TraceMR configuration right now, dropping the powerful rig down to just $1,499.99 (opens in new tab). From what we can see there’s only one small sacrifice in this spec, 16GB of DDR4 RAM rather than the DDR5 that would compliment that 12th gen Intel CPU so nicely. In the grand scheme of things, though, this is an excellent offer.
Velztorm Pilium Custom Gaming Desktop PC | $1,349 $1,299 at Newegg
We’ve got a latecomer for any content creators or streamers out there. This deal from Newegg gets you 512GB of SSD, 3TB of HDD, and 32GB of RAM to play with. If you deal with lots of 4K files, or generally have a lot of data to store, this might be the deal for you.
Besides that, you get an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU, an RTX 3060, and free shipping while stocks last for just $1,299. Not bad this late in the day!
HyperX Alloy Origins 60 | $99.99 $59.99 at Amazon
In need of a new gaming keyboard? This is one of the best 60% keyboards on the market, so it’ll save you desk acreage. If you ever need to take a keyboard on the go, or you just tend to be a bit more wild with your mouse swipes, 60% keyboards leave you more room by cutting out some of the less vital buttons without losing out on functionality.
In this deal you get a $40 saving, taking it from $99.99 down to $59.99 – its lowest ever price on Amazon.
CyberPower PC Gamer Xtreme | $1,099 $849.99 at Best Buy
There’s still time to make the most of some entry-level Cyber Monday gaming PC deals. This CyberPowerPC is only $849.99 and it gives you 16GB of DDR4 RAM, a 12th Gen Intel Core i5, 500GB of SSD storage, and an RTX 3050.
Again, if you’re on a budget, or you’re looking for an affordable first gaming PC, this is a great shout. You get a saving of $250, and this is probably the most affordable an RTX 30 series gaming PC will be for a while.
UK: Acer Predator Orion 300 | £999.99 at eBuyer
CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme | $1,449.99 $1,199.99 at Best Buy
Another CyberPowerPC deal from Best Buy, and another $250 saving on a really strong gaming PC. For a mouth-wateringly affordable $1,199.99, you can get an AMD Ryzen 7 5700, RTX 3070, 1TB of SSD, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM.
It’s crazy to think that RTX 3070 machines are going this cheap, especially comparing the prices now to those of last year. I mean, last year you’d be lucky if you could get any stock of the 30 series GPUs to begin with. If I were you, I wouldn’t wait on this one.
Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse | $79.99 $29.99 at Amazon
Get the peripherals while they’re going cheap, folks! This wired gaming mouse is currently seeing a 63% reduction in price from $79.99 down to $29.99. That’s a $50 reduction on a gaming mouse from Logitech that allows for an awful lot of customisation.
Along with 11 programmable buttons there are tuneable weights in the body to let you tailor it to the exact feel you like. According to our data, its average price is actually closer to $40, but right now it’s at its lowest ever price on Amazon.
UK: Logitech G502 Hero | £79.99 £39.99 at Amazon
iBUYPOWER SlateMR291i | $1,499.99 $1,099 at Walmart
This is another really great mid-range build at a super affordable price. From Walmart, you can get an iBUYPOWER Slate carrying an Intel Core i7 12700F processor, 16GB of DDR4, 1TB of SSD, and a lovely RTX 3060 Ti.
All that, and you only have to pay $1,099 in a special Cyber Monday offer. We’ve seen a few 3060s around this price, but getting a 3060 Ti at this price is amazing, so act now while you still can.
UK: AlphaSync Onyx | £1,149.99 £999.99 at eBuyer
Alienware Aurora R13 | $1,979.99 $1,499 at Dell
While we still can, why don’t we remind you about the most reasonable Alienware Aurora R13 deal available through Dell for Cyber Monday. For $1,499.99 you can get a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700F CPU, an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage.
In an ideal world, you’d get more storage space for your money here, but I’ll be back shortly with an affordable way you can upgrade it.
UK: Alienware Aurora R13 | £1,979.01 £1,579.01 at Dell
Seagate FireCuda 530 1TB | $219.99 $119.99 at Best Buy
As promised, here is your affordable way of upgrading storage during Cyber Monday gaming PC deals. The Seagate FireCuda 530 is undoubtedly the king of the SSD market at the moment, not least because of its PS5-ready, heatsink-attached variants. I’m honestly shocked the 1TB is in stock at this point – multiple times when looking for it during Black Friday sales it was out of stock everywhere.
Needless to say, this is a great time to pull the trigger on one. Here you’re saving yourself $100 and getting 1TB of space with best-in-class read and write speeds for only $119.99.
It’s also worth noting that the 2TB version is on offer. You can save $210 and get an awful lot of futureproofing for $249.99.
UK: Seagate FireCuda 530 1TB | £159.99 £129.99 at Very
CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme | $1,299.99 $1,129.99 at Best Buy
Back to Best Buy for another CyberPowerPC deal. This time you’ll pay a little more than previous mid-range builds, but on the upside, you’ll get more storage and CPU power.
Keeping the lights on here is a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of DDR4, an RTX 3060 Ti, and 1TB of HDD backed by 500GB of SSD. The price isn’t anything to complain about either – $1,129.99 is great value for a build like this in my opinion.
The retail page for this offer says you have a swift 6 hours to claim it at time of writing. Honestly? I’ve written about so many gaming PC deals this week that I don’t use hours to measure time anymore. I measure only by the timestamps on each live blog update. Just something for the horologists among you to think about.
But you should probably keep human time in mind for now.
UK: HP Omen 25L | £1,299.97 £1,099.97 at Box
ABS Gladiator Gaming PC | $1,799.99 $1,399.99 at Newegg
Now that we’ve scoured Walmart and Best Buy for a while, let’s head back to Newegg. This ABS Gladiator has a really reasonable price, and I think it’s worth telling you about. For $1,399.99, you get a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, an RTX 3070 Ti, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 1TB SSD.
Sadly, I’ve not seen many, if any, great freebie options with Cyber Monday deals beyond GamePass or Warhammer Darktide bundles. At least here, you’ll get free shipping, and the option to buy Newegg’s Allstate Protection Plan and get a year of free NordVPN, 3DMark 2022, and ESET Nod32 Antivirus for a year.
UK: AlphaSync Pure Base | £1,329.99 £1,309.98 at eBuyer
Azeron Cyborg Gaming Keypad | $195 $184 at Amazon
Here’s something a bit different. If you’re not the biggest fan of using the traditional WASD keys on a keyboard to play your games, this is an ergonomic, highly customisable alternative. The Azeron Cyborg has 29 programmable keys and allows you to make the most of them by using very simple, minimalistic finger movements instead of shifting your fingers from a “home” position to different places on a deck.
It isn’t the biggest saving in the world, but if you’ve been keen to give one of Azeron’s keypads a try, they’re now going for only $184.50 on Amazon.
UK: Azeron Cyborg | £136 at Azeron
Alienware Aurora R12 | $2,039 $1,639 at Amazon
There are only 5 of these left, so I’m going to be brief, and let you get to it as soon as possible, if you’re interested.
This Alienware Aurora R12 configuration is currently at its lowest ever price on Amazon, and will get you an 11th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU, an RTX 3080, 32GB of DDR4 RAM, 512GB of SSD + 1TB of HDD. All that will currently set you back $1,639 while stock holds.
UK: Well, it’s now past midnight, and that means deals are starting to disappear. Take a look at Dell’s website, or our previous Aurora deal posts to see if they’re still live. Unfortunately this R12 offer doesn’t have a British equivalent.
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU | $569.99 $340 at Amazon
Here’s your all-too-important reminder that times are hard right now. Energy prices, costs of living, inflation – it all adds up. If you don’t have the budget for a whole gaming PC right now, don’t feel the pressure to buy while the deals are here.
If you are suffering from a hard case of FOMO, you could always settle for a small-but-significant upgrade to one component of your current gaming PC. This AMD Ryzen 9 CPU has 12 cores and plenty of power. Right now it’s at its lowest ever price on Amazon at $340, so you know you’re getting a great deal.
And that’ll do it for me – I’m now going to hand over to my American teammates to take you the rest of the way through Cyber Monday gaming PC deals. As for me, I’ll finally rest, and watch the sunrise on a grateful universe I’m off to sleep now that British Cyber Monday is over.
I hope my live coverage has been helpful to you and you’ve been able to find a gaming PC that’s right for you. If not, stick around and I’m sure our continued coverage will do the trick!
For now, I shall bid you adieu. Happy deal hunting!
*Takes baton* Greetings, gaming PC deal hunters! Staff writer Jordan here stepping in to help you find a deal on a new rig in these late hours of Cyber Monday. While we’ve already seen a ton of solid sales come and go, there are still plenty of live offers that can save you hundreds on prebuilt gaming PCs. Let’s get to ’em!
Lenovo IdeaCentre Gaming PC | $1219.99 $949.99 at Amazon
If you aren’t much for flashy cases, this Lenovo gaming PC crams in a 12th-gen i5 processor and an RTX 3060 for under a thousand bones, making for an ideal entry level rig. With those specs, not to mention the 512GB SSD, you should be able to handle most modern AAA games at low to medium settings and 1080p/60 FPS. It’s usually more than $1200, which isn’t a terrible price for the specs, but at 22% off it’s one of the best Cyber Monday gaming PC deals going.
ASUS ROG Gaming Desktop (RTX 3080) | $2199.99 $1899.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
It’s getting cheaper and cheaper to get an RTX 3080-equipped gaming rig, as proven by this ASUS gaming PC on sale for just a few more hours. Packing a 12th-gen i7 processor, 16 gigs of RAM, and plenty of storage with a 2TB HDD and a 512GB SSD, this machine should be able to chew right through the most demanding games out there at 1440p, or at 4K if hitting 60 FPS isn’t essential to you. Grab it before the end of the night and save yourself three Benjamins.
iBUYPOWER Gaming Desktop (RX 550) | $669.99 $499.99 at Walmart (opens in new tab)
We’ll get straight to the point with this one: a full-sized gaming PC for under $500 is extremely rare, which is the sole reason this Cyber Monday gaming PC deal is worth mentioning. It won’t be able to run most new triple-A games, but it’ll let you play low-spec games like Fortnite, Stardew Valley, Terraria, Among Us, Old School Runescape, etc..
If you aren’t an avid gamer, or if your preferred games include ones comparable to those I just listed, this rig should suit you just fine and save you hundreds of dollars. Plus, if you ever do run into a situation where you need a little more power, you should be able to upgrade this PC pretty easily. Just keep in mind that it isn’t as simple as swapping out the included RX 550 with a 3080 – your CPU, fans, motherboard, and possibly other components will also need upgrading – but it is possible to turn this very entry-level gaming PC into something a lot more capable.
ZOTAC Gaming RTX 3070 Ti graphics card | $749.99 $599.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
While the 40-series GPUs are available now, they’re pretty hard to find on store shelves and digital storefronts, plus they’re pretty pricey for what you get. This 3070 Ti will serve you well for a long time and will future-proof your rig for a good couple of years at the least. This isn’t the cheapest we’ve ever seen a 3070 Ti, but it’s pretty darn close. Grab it for $150 off its normal price at Amazon while this excellent deal lasts.
