Black Friday gaming PC deals 2023: The best bargains still available

Jump straight to your budget range

Black Friday gaming PC deals are officially over for another year, but some of the best deals are still hanging on. While we stare down the barrel of Cyber Monday, we've listed the best offers you can still make the most of down below. Components and entire rigs are expensive these days, and we don't see them drop down to Black Friday prices at many points throughout the year. With that in mind, act fast if you see something down below that you like.

At GamesRadar+, we prefer to keep our PC gaming experiences affordable, and that's why Black Friday gaming deals are so important. While we could point you towards premium builds with money off that still require a small car loan, we're focusing on the best value offers out there this year in a bid to provide you with higher-end gear for less. That's not to say we wouldn't be all over the right Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 deal if one popped up, but we're hellbent on making sure you find appropriate hardware for your needs.

To help you further we've got our ever-present list of best gaming PCs to lay out the best of what's out there across the full ranges of costs and setups. As we get into next week, more and more of our focus will shift to curating the list of Cyber Monday gaming PC deals, so be sure to check that page out if you want a virtual deal in the next few days.

Yeyian Yumi Gaming PC $1,199.99

Yeyian Yumi Gaming PC | $1,199.99 $829.99 at Newegg
Save $370 - This build from Yeyian over at Newegg is one of my favorite offers from October's Prime Day event, but it's come back in stock even cheaper than it was previously. This is an Intel Core i5 12400F + RTX 4060 gaming PC that checks all the boxes if you want something capable of 1080p and 1440p gaming. Annoyingly, it isn't a DDR4 machine out of the box, but the motherboard is compatible if you want to upgrade later.

Buy it if:

CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme $1,049.99

CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme | $1,049.99 $849 at Best Buy
Save $200 - You only saved $70 here during Prime Day, but it's great to see 13th gen builds with a 4060 inside them this far under a grand. Either way, a 13th Gen i5 (even without the unlocked multiplier or integrated graphics) will set you on the right path, and a 4060's DLSS will have you covered for plenty of modern games. 

Buy it if: 

✅ You can't afford beefier specs
✅ You want DDR5
✅ You want a solid gaming PC for under a grand 

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You predominantly want to play in 4K
❌ You want the 13600K CPU

CyberPowerPC Gamer Master Gaming Desktop $1,099

CyberPowerPC Gamer Master Gaming Desktop | $1,099 $899.99 at Best Buy
Save $200 - Inside this CyberPowerPC you'll get an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU, 16GB of DDR5, an RTX 4060, and 2TB worth of SSD storage. All that isn't bad at all for under $1,000, especially when you square this up against bigger brand names around this price at the moment.

Buy it if: 

✅ You need 2TB of storage
✅ You want a 4060 rig
✅ You're okay with a budget brand 

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You don't want to be reliant on DLSS

Lenovo Legion Tower 5 $1,249.99

Lenovo Legion Tower 5 | $1,249.99 $999.99 at Best Buy
Save $250 - For a named brand, this is a pretty great deal. Inside you'll find an AMD Ryzen 5 7600, 16GB of DDR5, and an RTX 3060 GPU. The only real downside for this price is that you'll only get 512GB of SSD storage, with no HDD to back it up. If you go for this deal, it might pay to keep an eye out for SSD deals closer to Black Friday.

Buy it if: 

✅ You want a futureproofed build for the money
✅ You'll mainly game in 1080p and 1440p
Don't buy it if: 

 You want more storage from the word go

HP Omen 40L $1,599.99

HP Omen 40L | $1,599.99 $999.99 at HP
Save $500 - Not only is this a cracking gaming PC, but the real reason I'd argue it's solid value for money is not just because of its specs. Rather, the individual components in it form an all-star cast. You get Kingston Fury DDR5 RAM, a WD Black SSD, and an Nvidia RTX 3060 with a 13th Gen Intel Core i5 processor. You also save $100 more than you did on this two weeks ago, so it's the right time to buy.

Buy it if: 

✅ You want big brand components for the money
✅ You want DDR5 RAM

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You can afford a better GPU

Gaming PCs under $2000

MSI Aegis Gaming Desktop $1,599

MSI Aegis Gaming Desktop | $1,599 $1,199 at Amazon
Save $400 - Considering some 3060 builds can still be seen for this much, this MSI rig is solid value for money. Inside you have a 13th gen Intel Core i7, 32GB of DDR5, a 2TB SSD, and an RTX 4060 Ti. You don't get the unlocked CPU multiplier or integrated graphics, but I'd be willing to give this a try - I doubt you'd struggle with a 13th Gen i7 even without those perks.

Buy it if: 

✅ You want new-gen specs
✅ You don't need integrated graphics
✅ You don't mind it being on backorder

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You'll need integrated graphics

Buy it if: 

✅ You want a great mid-range PC
✅ You like transparent cases
✅ You want a Game Pass trial 

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You don't need this kind of power

Save $222 - This PC from Skytech is on offer at Newegg, and not only does it have my personal favorite 40 Series GPU inside it, but you get a free copy of Alan Wake 2 with your purchase. This is pretty much the ideal price I was hoping for when it came to 4070 PCs this Black Friday. This might disappear quickly, so don't wait too long. Also inside is 32GB of DDR5, 1TB of SSD, and an Intel Core i5-13400F.

Asus ROG Strix RTX 4070 Ti OC Edition 12GB graphics card | $1,049.99

Asus ROG Strix RTX 4070 Ti OC Edition 12GB graphics card | $1,049.99 $899.99 at Amazon
Save $150 - The 4070 Ti relies fairly heavily on DLSS to do its heavy lifting at higher resolutions, but this is one of the more expensive board partners down to MSRP here. Not bad, if this is within budget.

Buy it if: 

✅ You want to play demanding games on high settings
✅ You're upgrading from an RTX 3050 / 3060 or earlier
✅ You'll be overclocking your PC

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You don't mind going with a more generic brand

Lenovo IdeaCentre £999.99

Lenovo IdeaCentre | £999.99 £549.99 at Box
Save £450 - For anyone looking for a budget PC for some light gaming on a second machine, or for something they can use for work and productivity, this IdeaCentre PC is a bit of a steal. It's not all too common you find PCs with separate GPUs under £600, but this one houses a GTX 1660 Super - one of the world's favorite budget / old-gen graphics cards.

Buy it if: 

✅ You need something cheap and cheerful
✅ You don't need new-gen parts
✅ You're on a tight budget 

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You want futureproofing
❌ You can wait for bigger Black Friday deals

AWD-IT Mesh Ryzen Gaming PC £899.99

AWD-IT Mesh Ryzen Gaming PC | £899.99 £649 at AWD-IT
Save £250 - This deal is a bit ridiculous, in fairness, and is by far the cheapest RTX 4060 build I've ever come across. For budget buyers looking for a fixer-upper they can upgrade as they go, or even just use for 1080p gaming and work, this is unreal. Inside you'll get an RTX 4060, an AMD Ryzen 5 5500, 16GB of Corsair DDR4 RAM, and, the only catch, is that you get a 480GB SATA SSD. That said, you can upgrade the parts if you'd like - upgrading to a Corsair MP600 1TB drive only takes the price up to £689. That. is. wild. 

Buy it if:

✅ You want a proper gaming PC on a budget
✅ You don't mind a DDR4-locked motherboard

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want more than 1080p performance / 1440p with DLSS

Price check: Exclusive to AWD

MEDION Erazer Engineer P10 £1,100

MEDION Erazer Engineer P10 | £1,100 £850.99 at eBuyer
Save £200 - Having scoured the digital shelves, this is one of the best 3060 build prices I can find in the UK just now. For just under £900, you'll get a 12th Gen Intel Core i5, a 3060 Ti, 16GB of DDR4, and annoyingly, only 512GB of SSD. 

Buy it if: 

✅ You want a solid gaming rig
✅ You don't mind having limited storage 

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You can wait for Black Friday
❌ You need more storage space

AlphaSync Ryzen 5 Gaming PC £999.99

AlphaSync Ryzen 5 Gaming PC | £999.99 £899.99 at eBuyer
Save £100 - Packed with a 5000 Series AMD Ryzen 5 CPU, an RTX 4060, 1TB of SSD, and 32GB of DDR4, this AlphaSync configuration is really competitively priced considering we still have a few weeks to go before Black Friday. 

Buy it if: 

✅ You need plenty of RAM
✅ You are aiming for 1080p/1440p performance
Don't buy it if: 

 You don't want to be limited to DDR4

MSI MAG Infinite + Alan Wake 2 £1,899

MSI MAG Infinite + Alan Wake 2 | £1,899 £1,599 at Currys
Save £300 - Alright, so with the Nvidia GPU in this build, there's the option to get a free copy of Alan Wake 2 with your purchase. Even without the free game, this would be a great offer, since the rig houses an Intel Core i7-13700F, an RTX 4070, 16GB of DDR5, and a 1TB SSD. Need I say more, or does the £300 saving say enough?

Buy it if:

✅ You want a Game Pass machine as cheap as they come
✅ You don't mind a refurbished console

Don't buy it if:

❌ You will want to play physical discs

Black Friday gaming PC deals: FAQs

When will Black Friday gaming PC deals start?

Black Friday officially falls on November 24 this year, which means Black Friday gaming PC deals will roughly start appearing from around Monday November 20 onwards. Cyber Monday will no doubt have its place, but the best deals, steepest discounts, and most secure stock levels always come from Black Friday.

Where to get the best Black Friday gaming PC deals?

When it comes to the best Black Friday gaming PC deals, Newegg, Best Buy, Overclockers, and eBuyer are the ones to watch. We have seen that Dell has some deep discounts on their high-end Alienware rigs (namely the Alienware Aurora R13 and R14 in 2022), but the big retailers are always a safe bet as well. Amazon is a given, although we found that their deals weren't as plentiful or powerful as the first four we mentioned. In the UK, Box is another one to watch.
