So, you want the best gaming PC in the world, but you’re also a thrifty shopper? No problem! Just wait until Cyber Monday which has fantastic Cyber Monday deals. That can mean products from brands you like, such as these Cyber Monday Alienware deals, or even fully built and portable PCs like these Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals. But if you want a full gaming PC, you can certainly do that, too; here’s what we’ve found so far when it comes to Cyber Monday gaming PC deals.
Lenovo LOQ Tower Gaming Desktop — $550 $900 39% off
For an affordable pre-built gaming desktop option, the Lenovo LOQ Tower Gaming Desktop offers an Intel i5 14400F CPU, 16GB of memory, and a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050.
Cyber Monday AMD Deals
Victus by HP 15L — $580 $930 38% off
One of the reasons that HP is one of our favorite places to buy a prebuilt gaming PC is because it is so easy to customize your order. While you can get started with the base $460 model (it has an AMD Radeon RX 6400 GPU and 16GB of RAM), you’ll probably want to update it. Think of this as $430 of savings off of components of your choice.
CLX SET Gaming Desktop — $1,170 $1,250 6% off
Another great budget-oriented option is this CLX Set desktop, which comes with an RTX 4060, a pretty solid entry-level GPU that would do really well with 1080p gaming. It also comes with a powerful AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, 16GB of RAM and a whopping 2TB of storage, all with an $80 discount.
CyberPower Gaming PC GML 99632 — $1,399 $1,499 7% off
While CyberpowerPC is known for letting you pick out parts and having them assemble your PC for you before shipment, this one is already made. It has an AMD Ryzen 7 processor, RX 7800 XT GPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD.
Corsair Vengeance a7400 Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Edition — $2,400 $2,600 8% off
This PC comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X processor, RX 7900 XT GPU, 32GB of RAM, 2TB of storage, and a sleek Black Ops 6 logo on the side. It comes with Corsair’s iCUE for multi-object, connected RGB control.
Cyber Monday Intel Deals
Alienware Aurora R16 — $1,200 $1,600 25% off
The Aurora R16 fits in at the very top of our best gaming desktops list for its design and performance-to-cost ratio. As said in our Aurora R16 review, “it’s a desktop that appeals to the masses.” Please note that there are several configurations of this desktop on sale right now — just tap “View All Configurations” below “REVIEWS” to find them. This version has an RTX 4060 Ti and 16GB of RAM with 1TB of storage.
Thermaltake Apollo i4780 — $3,500 $3,700 5% off
This Thermaltake Apollo i4780 is a great mid-to-high-end option ideal for gaming at 2K and potentially at 4K with some compromises since it comes with the much better RTX 4080 Super. It has a solid $200 discount, and while it’s still a bit pricey, its worth what you’re getting.
Corsair One i500 — $3,995 $4,700 15% off
In a world of flash and pizzazz, Corsair’s One i500 is surprisingly classy. While our Corsair One i500 review has a slightly different model in use (for example, this has 64GB of RAM, while our review had 96GB), the mentions of low bloatware and premium design remain the same. This is the “PC you should buy if you’re in the market for a high-end behemoth.” Get it while you can save $705.
How to choose a gaming PC on Cyber Monday
Buying a gaming PC on Cyber Monday is largely going to be like buying a gaming desktop any other time of the year, but you can go ahead and stretch for something slightly greater than you normally would at this time.
If you’re buying a pre-built, you can be assured that everything you buy works together. In other words, you won’t need to make sure your motherboard and CPU align properly and that you’ve got a cooling system powerful enough to keep your graphics card at bay. Plus, you won’t have to assemble the thing, either, which can be laborious and nerve-racking (static shock can kill otherwise good computer components). As a result, expect the value of the pre-built PC to be somewhat higher than the component parts put together (and don’t forget the value of the chassis here, either; it’s not all SSDs and GPUs, after all), even when on sale.
Most people will want to check out the graphics card and RAM of a given PC, compare it to what games they aspire to play today and look for something that is somewhat over that for longevity. You can also check out our reviews for more in-depth information about any given PC build.
How we chose these gaming PC deals for Cyber Monday
One of our main goals was to strike somewhat of a balance between AMD and Intel components for both processors and graphics cards. (If you’re building your own, we did the same in this guide to the best Cyber Monday CPU deals). This, along with choosing from a wide variety of price ranges and the best places to buy PCs, was done to ensure you had ample choice. We also made sure the given prices were the best available for a given PC.
Finally, many of these deals were chosen for their inclusion on our list of the best gaming PCs. Now is really a great time to strike and get something from the best of the best.
