As someone who reviews gaming PCs, components, and covers deals on all sorts of gaming hardware, Newegg is always the first retailer on my list when it comes to checking for early Black Friday deals. Newegg has a massive selection of PCs and components, and at this time of year, it's got some of the better Black Friday gaming PC deals on the internet.

Case in point, Newegg has already officially launched its Black November sale, which includes "daily doorbuster" offers that refresh with new limited-time discounts every morning at 9am PT. With a lot of hardware, deals in this sale will include cheap prices, bundle offers, and Black Friday price protection guarantees, the last of which means you'll be reimbursed if that particular product gets any cheaper over the next few weeks. Not bad, eh?

Save $470 - This is one of my go-to entry-level gaming PC recommendations every year during this period. You get up-to-date parts and reasonable prices compared to similar configurations. If you're looking to get new-generation specs on a budget, this is one to consider. It's also one of the best RTX 5060 prices I've seen so far this month.

<p><em><strong>Specs: <em>Intel Core i5-14400F, Nvidia RTX 5060, 1TB SSD, 16GB of DDR5<p><strong>Buy it if:<p>✅ You want modern specs on a budget<br />✅ You want DDR5 out of the box<br />✅ 1TB is enough storage for you<p><strong>Don't buy it if:<br /><br />❌ You want to play in 4K max settings

Save $270 - Alright, so there is technically one cheaper RTX 5060 Ti rig at Newegg, but this one has Black Friday Price Protection, and comes with a $60 promotional gift card, which makes me see it as a better offer. My only reservation is that I've never seen this brand at Newegg before, so it must be a new one, and the Skytech alternative comes from a much more familiar name. In case you want to decide for yourself, I've linked the other option below so you can compare.

<p><em><strong>Specs: <em>AMD Ryzen 7 8700F, Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti, 1TB SSD, 32GB of DDR5<p><strong>Buy it if:<p>✅ You want more gaming oomph<br />✅ You want plenty of RAM<br />✅ You've got a 1440p monitor to make the most of<p><strong>Don't buy it if:<p>❌ You'd rather have the 16GB version of the 5060 Ti<p><strong>Alternative: <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=kXQk6%2AivFEQ&mid=44583&u1=hawk-custom-tracking&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2Fskytech-gaming-desktop-pcs-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-intel-core-i5-14400f-16gb-ddr5-1-tb-nvme-ssd-st-arch4-1888-w-al-white%2Fp%2F3D5-000Z-002H1" target="_blank"><strong>Skytech Archangel

Save $200 - Surprisingly, I've seen an RTX 4070 Ti build for slightly cheaper than this during the Newegg sales so far, but it didn't have the Ryzen X3D processor this one does, which I'd argue sends it above. Newegg was offering Black Friday price protection on this last week, but I'm not seeing that label anymore, which is a bit odd. Either way, for the RX 9070 inside this build, this is solid value.

<p><em><strong>Specs: <em>AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, 2TB SSD, 32GB of DDR5<p><strong>Buy it if:<p>✅ You want this year's most coveted GPU<br />✅ You want 2TB of storage<br />✅ You've got 4K ambitions<p><strong>Don't buy it if:<p>❌ You'd rather have the 5070 Ti

Save $20 - If you're dead-set on building your own PC this Black Friday, I can strongly recommend this motherboard. It's got loads of quality of life benefits that mean it's really simple to build on, as well as some great compatibility and futureproofing. I built my friend a gaming PC on this motherboard earlier in the year, and this made it so much easier.

<p><strong>Buy it if:<p>✅ You want to build your own gaming PC<br />✅ You want a DDR5 motherboard with Gen 5 PCIe support<br />✅ You want to avoid some annoying motherboard quirks<p><strong>Don't buy it if:<p>❌ You're already bought into an Intel processor

Save $20 - I can't believe my eyes, it's an RTX 5070 under MSRP. Okay, so technically you'll need to fill out a rebate form, which is a little strange, but hey, if you're willing to go to that effort, you get one of this year's best pound-for-pound mid-range GPUs for an excellent price. Keep in mind that Nvidia GPUs rarely get to their official MSRP, and this one actually is sitting at it without the rebate discount.

<p><strong>Buy it if:<p>✅ You want a great mid-range GPU for the money<br />✅ You play in 4K or 1440p<br />✅ You don't mind leaning on DLSS<p><strong>Don't buy it if:<p>❌ You're not a fan of AI upscaling tricks

Save $50 - Alright, here's the cheapest RX 9070 GPU at Newegg, and you're covered by Black Friday Price Protection, so that if there are any better discounts on it in the coming weeks, you'll be refunded the difference. For one of this year's most in-demand graphics cards, this is a solid deal, especially if you're not a fan of fake frames.

<p><strong>Buy it if:<p>✅ You want a great 4K GPU<br />✅ You want native power, not upscaling reliance<br />✅ You're not that into ray-tracing<p><strong>Don't buy it if:<p>❌ You want DLSS MFG support

Hardware Editor

One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had two hands. Ever since I've been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my own YouTube channel about my love of games too. These days, I'm one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension.
