CyberPower PC Gamer Supreme | $1,449.99 $1,199.99 at Best Buy
We initially saw this offer last week, but it has since been reduced by another $100. So now, you’re getting even more for your money. For just $1,199.99 you can have an AMD Ryzen 7 5700 CPU, 16GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD, and an RTX 3070. Yes, you read that correctly. This version has an RTX 3070 GPU and costs less than $1,300.
With prices falling since we found it last week, it could even drop again before Friday, but if you’re worried about stocks, now might be the time to take advantage of this deal.
Seagate FireCuda 530 2TB | $459.99 $249.99 at Best Buy
Right, so it’s not exactly a gaming PC, but if you’re looking for a way to upgrade your SSD like I suggested with the HP Omen 25L deal, this is definitely one way to go. The Seagate FireCuda 530 is one of the best and most popular SSDs on the market. Although the 1TB version is cheaper, it’s harder to get hold of. This Best Buy deal gets you 2TB for just $249.99. It’s also a PS5-ready drive, if that interests you.

MSI Aegis R | Free Shipping | Free Nvidia Game | $1,899 $1,199 at Newegg
Another amazing Black Friday gaming PC deal here, and it’s only on Monday. For just $1,199 (and reduced to $700, our biggest discount yet), you get a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, RTX 3070 GPU, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage.
As if the build wasn’t solid enough on its own, Newegg also offers free shipping, a price match guarantee, and a free Nvidia game with your purchase. You’ve got to love extra freebies, especially when you’re spending on an expensive piece of tech that you’ve probably worked hard to save up for.
We don’t have a lot of pricing data for each of these particular builds, especially since many of them differ slightly with retailers. For what it’s worth, though, Newegg says this is its lowest price in 30 days.
Omen HP 25L | £1,399.97 £999.97 in box
That last deal didn’t have a UK equivalent, but this one is pretty close. In this Box deal, you can get an HP Omen 25L for just £999.97. Under the hood is a Ryzen 7 3700X processor, an RTX 3060 Ti, and 16GB of HyperX FURY DDR4 RAM. The storage is the only thing that can make this build suffer, since it only has 256 GB of WD Black SSD and 2 TB of HDD. However, with SSDs fetching historically low prices this Black Friday season, you can always spend a little more to upgrade separately.
Regardless, this is a solid build for the money, especially since you’re getting an integrated RTX 30-series GPU for under a grand.
iBUYPOWER Trace MR258i | $1,299 $1,099 at Best Buy
Alright, here’s one that’s a little cheaper. I say a little, because it is still single more than $1,000. As I’m sure many of you know, it’s very hard to get a gaming PC that can keep up with the latest games and tech demands without spending over $1000, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to try to find that for you. you. Times are tough, after all.
Either way, this deal from Walmart gets you an iBUYPOWER gaming PC for $1,099. If you haven’t heard of iBUYPOWER, we’d say it’s one of the most trusted budget brands out there. Inside you’ll get a Ryzen 7 5700 processor, an RTX 3060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. In terms of energy per dollar spent, this is a great deal.
If I find something better for under $1000 I’ll give you an update ASAP.
Alienware Aurora R13 | $2,599.99 $2,199.99 at Best Buy
We’ll start with our personal favorite: this is the Alienware Aurora R13 offered at Best Buy. There are two settings listed on the store page; one that costs $2,199.99 (saving you $400) that gets you an RTX 3080, Intel Core i7 CPU, 1TB SSD, and 16GB of RAM.
Alternatively, if you’re willing to compromise on some higher-end specs to spend a little less, you can opt for the configuration priced at $1,749.99 (saving you $250). This build gets you an RTX 3070, with the other specs pretty much the same.
This is one of the best and most sought after gaming PCs on the market right now, so expect plenty of discounts this week. If I see cheaper prices, I’ll be sure to update them. Either way, there’s no better way to start than by giving you a framework of how much a top-tier PC will cost you this Black Friday.
