![]() But don't worry, we're not going to start peddling air fryers, or mattresses, or anything that doesn't have anything to do with PC gaming. There are simply too many deals on the internet nowadays to sift through them yourself, that's our job. Whether you're desperate for an air fryer, want to upgrade your PC setup, or go all-in on a whole new machine, the Black Friday sales event is a great time to bag a bargain. That's why we do it: you shouldn't have to waste a penny on poorly-made products.Īnd, at a time with an increased focus on the cost of living across the world, it makes sense to save any large purchase for an event such as Black Friday, where every retailer in every corner of the globe will be cutting prices to tempt you into spending your money with them. And the ones we think worthwhile, we tell you about. Here at PC Gamer we spend our working week testing the latest products to see if they're worthy of our rigs. That's why we'll be heavily curating the deals on this page to make sure you can see where your hard-earned money should go. Whether you're looking for a loved one or to treat yourself, you don't want to waste your money on a trash product or an awful 'deal'. So plan your build, plan for alternatives, heck, post your proposed build and planned usage and get feedback from the community on the parts you chose to see if there is a more reasonable and safe cost cutting measure.These are all the Black Friday deals still live going into the weekend, but we're now switching focus to what's coming up with the Cyber Monday PC gaming deals (opens in new tab) and that's where all the latest and greatest discounts will now be curated. Just don't be surprised when all your other components die off because some back alley power supply from China fries the rest of your investment. You COULD buy a $20 power supply instead of a $200 power supply, I mean it's 90% off in comparison! Do you want to buy some no name brand of ram with low bandwith, high latency just because it's half price of something you would want to use?įor example power supplies. Sometimes there could be something that is a bargain bin price but can be absolute garbage. Some 'sale' items are marked up then discounted 'on sale' to make the discounts look impressive. ![]() Then watch for sales and deals.ĭon't buy something just because it's "on sale". Use PC part picker and plan out your build and identify any alternatives you would accept for your build. There are going to be a lot of deals over the next year, most likely to clear out the old stock. Also, keep in mind we have A LOT of new shiny toys on the market with the new generation of CPUs and GPUs from Intel, AMD, and Nvidia along with DDR5 and the shiny new MBs that have to support all this new jank. Most people buying PC components off the shelf are not buying them as presents for others, and these companies know this. There are some exceptions, and I'm optimistic that GPUs will be among those. If it's already 25% or more off, it's likely not going any lower. My advice is to start shopping right now for deals. My latest build I had ordered parts from Amazon, Newegg, Bestbuy, and B&H during Amazon's Prime Early Access sale. Most retailers will all have them at the same discounted rate, but it is worth it to shop around because sometimes only a couple will have the deal, or it may not be in stock some places. They will change the items listed at these holiday prices throughout the holiday season. Pick, Assemble and Install: Video GuideĪll the discounted holiday prices have already begun as they usually start right after Halloween and last until the "New Year" deals in January.No intentionally harmful, misleading or joke advice.No excessive posting (more than one submission in 24 hours).No selling, trading or requests for valuation.No self-promotion, advertising, begging, or surveys.No submissions about memes, jokes, meta, or hypothetical / dream builds.No titles that are all-caps, clickbait, PSAs, pro-tips or contain emoji.No submissions about retailer or customer service experiences.No submissions about sales, deals or unauthorized giveaways.No submissions about hardware news, rumors, or reviews.Please keep in mind that we are here to help you build a computer, not to build it for you.
