Should you buy a gaming PC on Black Friday or wait for Cyber Monday?

The fear of missing out on a great gaming PC deal is real; for some, that means they would prefer to wait for Cyber Monday. Well, let's take a look at whether it's worth waiting an extra few days for those cheap gaming PC deals or if it's better to grab one of the several deals we've collected for you here.
Should You Buy a Gaming PC on Black Friday?
While you might feel like waiting for Cyber Monday to buy a gaming PC is a better idea, the likelihood of finding better deals on the same gaming PC is very slim, if you find deals on them at all. As such, it's better to grab one of the several Black Friday gaming PC deals now than risk not getting any deals altogether. That said, it's true that Cyber Monday tends to mirror Black Friday sales, so if you find something better, you can always refund your Black Friday purchase and buy the newer and better deal.
Our 5 Favorite Black Friday PC Deals
Lenovo Legion Tower 5 -- $730, was $990

While this Lenovo Legion Tower 5 didn't make our list of best all-AMD gaming PCs, it still comes close. The AMD Radeon RX 6500XT GPU is entry-level and roughly equivalent to the RTX 3050 if you aren't familiar with the AMD lineup, which means you can get a lot of indie and casual gaming done quite easily. You can also push some more modern games with lower graphical settings; most free-to-play games will do just fine. The AMD Ryzen 5-5600G is a mid-range CPU for gaming and general productivity work, making it pretty versatile. Sadly, there are only 8GB of RAM, which is the bare minimum, but you could always upgrade it with another 8GB to get that extra dual-channel performance. Finally, the 512GB SSD should be more than enough for most use cases, although you might want to grab one of the external hard drive deals to supplement it.

This Dell gaming laptop is $350 off for Black Friday – now $600

Dell has been a significant force in the gaming world, especially since they bought out Alienware, and while most of the high-end gaming laptops come out of the latter, the main company still produces some great budget gaming laptops. For example, if you're looking for one of the best Black Friday gaming laptop deals, then the G15 is an excellent option, and you can pick it up from Dell directly for just $600, rather than the usual $900, and they even throw in an extra year of support.

Why you should buy the Dell G15 gaming laptop
While this isn't the Ryzen edition that made it on our list of the best gaming laptops, it's still pretty great, running an RTX 3050 under the hood. While it's not the most powerful GPU, it's a great entry-level graphics card that can easily run the 15.6-inch FHD monitor, and even though it might struggle to hit 120Hz on more modern games, the majority of free-to-play games like League of Legends and CS:GO shouldn't be a problem at all. Luckily Dell threw in Wi-Fi 6 so you can get a strong and stable connection when playing online, which will also come in handy if you want to stream games and save some of the 256GB SSD space. That said, you could always pick up one of these external hard drive deals to supplement your storage.
