Cyber Monday gaming PC deals are here, but you don't have very long to make the most of them. This isn't like Prime Day where offers can last for a week or two after the fact - this is the last stop on the gaming PC deals train line, and we're drawing into the station soon. It's okay though, because I'm coming to you live as I tour each retailer's digital aisles. Are you looking for your first-ever gaming PC or a 4080 Super-powered monster? Either way, I'm here to help you find the deals that are actually good.
I've been reviewing the best gaming PCs for years now, and I've been covering their Black Friday and Cyber Monday gaming PC deals for just as long. I always find it exciting getting to this time of year and seeing these famously expensive computers drop down to levels you might actually be able to afford. I've just been covering this year's Black Friday sales, so I already know where to start looking. If you're in the market for an entry-level machine, there are PCs priced at $699 at Newegg, Walmart, and Best Buy. If you're looking for that holy grail of an RTX 4080 Super build, I've spotted ones under $2,000 that you can read more about below.
Without further ado, let's go shopping for Cyber Monday gaming PC deals. I've highlighted my favorite deals you need to know about down below. Keep scrolling, and you'll see all my live updates as I shop along with you all.

My favorite Cyber Monday gaming PC deals
Live Updates
And we're off!
I'm hitting the discount aisles and I'll be here with fresh updates for the best gaming PCs I can find this Cyber Monday. While I find another deal that's worthy of your eyeballs, take a look at the ones I've already put a spotlight on above. They'll likely be something in your price range there, and if not, I'll fill in the gaps momentarily.
The cheapest I'd recommend this Cyber Monday
This was one of my favorite Black Friday offers, and I'll say again what I said a few days ago. Most RTX 3050 gaming PC deals at the moment suck. They charge as much as budget RTX 4060 builds, and yet they'll give you a motherboard that's locked to the DDR4 realm.
This Acer Nitro 50 at Newegg is only $649 and is generous with its supporting components. If you're on a really tight budget this Cyber Monday, this is the cheapest I'd recommend to you. You want that DDR5 futureproofing and the RTX 3050 is more than enough for you to get by on for a start.
Specs: Intel Core i5-14400F, RTX 3050, 16GB of DDR5, 1TB of SSD

Ok, in fairness, this one isn't so bad either...
Alright, so there may be a few more 3050 builds appearing in Cyber Monday sales than there were for Black Friday. I'd still argue you should get the one in my previous post if you can afford it, but this is a good deal too if you're on an even tighter budget.
You still get a nice DDR5 motherboard, memory kit, and processor, and the RTX 3050 to hold it all together. I'd look to upgrade that 500GB SSD as soon as you can though, because 500GB will disappear immediately once you start downloading a few games. All that, and it's only $599.99 at Best Buy.
Specs: Intel Core i5-12400F, RTX 3050, 500GB SSD, 16GB of DDR5
MSI Codex R2 | $749 $599.99 at Best Buy
Another RTX 4060 build under $1,000
There are plenty of great 4060 machines going for under $1,000 right now, so if you're on a budget but you'd like a little more than the last-gen RTX 3050 GPU can provide this Yeyian Pheonix Iron Mesh might be of interest.
Specs: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, RTX 4060, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD
Yeyian Pheonix Iron Mesh | $949.99 $879.99 at Best Buy
IPASON with a monster mid-ranger
This IPASON desktop looks like the evil lair of the next Ratchet & Clank villain thanks to its red lighting. It is, in all honesty, a powerhouse mid-ranger and I love its price-to-power ratio.
I've barely seen any gaming PCs with Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs on offer for Black Friday or Cyber Monday, and this bucks that trend with the Ryzen 5 9600X. That processor is cooled by a 240mm AIO, and 32GB of DDR5 sweetens the deal. The GPU is an RTX 4070 - another rare sight in this year's deals aisles. For under $1,450, that's a great offer.
Specs: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, RTX 4070, 32GB of DDR5, 1TB SSD
IPASON Gaming Desktop | $2,699.99 $1,399 at Newegg
My favorite iBUYPOWER offer is out of stock, but this back up isn't bad either
One of my favorite deals from the past week has been the iBUYPOWER Slate Mesh at Walmart which costs $699 and gives you liquid cooling and an all-round quality RTX 4060 machine for that price. Its "buy now" button has since changed to a "shop similar" one though, so I've had to find a backup.
This Trace Mesh instead sports an even better RTX 4060 Ti, an AMD Ryzen 7 processor, and the same liquid cooling goodness. For that $999 sweet spot, that's not bad at all.
Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 7700, RTX 4060 Ti, 16GB of DDR5, 1TB of SSD
iBUYPOWER Trace Mesh Gaming PC | $1,199 $999 at Walmart
A well-balanced RTX 4070 Super build for under $1,450
I believe I mentioned it in an earlier post, but gaming PCs built around the RTX 4070 Super have been going for the $1,499 mark in the lead-up to Cyber Monday, so seeing this Skytech Shiva at $1,399.99 at Newegg shows why waiting for the actual starting date can sometimes be a benefit.
I wouldn't wait too long to pull the trigger on this though, because there aren't too many white gaming PCs at Newegg right now, and this one is a lovely mid-range machine. if the RTX 4070 Super doesn't win you over, this has liquid cooling, 2TB of SSD storage, and 32GB of RAM.
Specs: Intel Core i5-14400F, RTX 4070 Super, 2TB SSD, 32GB of DDR5
Skytech Shiva Gaming PC | $1,799.99 $1,399.99 at Newegg
The most affordable 4070 Ti Super PC this Cyber Monday?
I can't say I've heard much noise coming from Nignmei as a manufacturer, but its RTX 4070 Ti Super build at Walmart is right on the money. It's by far the cheapest build with this GPU I've seen throughout Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
You'll take a bit of a hit when it comes to RAM since this has DDR4 out of the box, but you do get 32GB, and the motherboard should be DDR5-compatible for when you feel the need to upgrade. On top of that, there's a very funky-looking AIO cooler in here too.
Specs: Intel Core i5-12400KF, RTX 4070 Ti Super, 1TB SSD, 32GB of DDR4
Ningmei Gaming PC | $2,199 $1639 at Walmart
Okay, who did this to an RTX 4080 Super build?
Ok, Thermaltake makes some very "extra" gaming PC cases, but this one really takes the cake. It's such a distinct design that I'm actually not physically able to remove its background to add to my image template and show it to you. It looks like an open design, with a clear glass panel holding its parts together? And it has little robot feet!
This is an RTX 4080 Super PC, so it's going to be one for those with a bit of a generous budget to play with, but even if you can't afford it, I'd recommend checking out how ridiculous this design is.
I don't know if I like it - maybe I like it? Does it look goofy or cool? Tell it to stop looking at me like that.
Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, RTX 4080 Super, 32GB of DDR5, 3TB of SSD
Thermaltake Shadow 480 R4 | $2,799.99 $2,399.99 at Best Buy
Something else you don't see everyday...
I almost never see Intel's Arc GPUs inside prebuilt gaming PCs, but NZXT has given one a super reasonable Cyber Monday price I think budget buyers should know about.
There are some decent components inside this Player One build that are worth the money for gamers looking to target 1080p and light 1440p numbers, and there are some solid bundles you can opt into if you want some extras. For $749 this is not a bad starter PC.
Specs: Intel Core i5-12400F, Intel Arc A750, 16GB of DDR5, 1TB SSD
NZXT Player One Intel Arc Edition | $799 $749 at NZXT
The big brands aren't always the priciest
Often, the biggest brands will charge a premium for their gaming PCs when it comes to Cyber Monday, which is why the lesser-known ones sporting the parts you know can sometimes be better value. MSI is the exception to the rule though, because its pre-built gaming PCs are often in the discount aisles and don't cost more than they should.
This Codex R2 is one such computer, and its $959 price tag gets you RTX 4060 specs as cheap as the smaller brands are offering.
Specs: Intel Core i5-14400F, RTX 4060, 32GB of DDR5, 2TB of SSD
MSI Codex R2 | $1,099 $959 at Newegg
Go Team Red this Cyber Monday
The GPU I use in my own rig is the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, which gives me all the power for 4K gaming I need. It's not a graphics card you see often in the prebuilt gaming PC world, so anytime I do I'm immediately intrigued.
This iBUYPOWER TraceMesh at Newegg is fully on the AMD side of the war, and versus a lot of the RTX 4070 Super options out there, I'd say it's just as good, if not better value. Then again, I am a little biased for this GPU in particular.
Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 7700, AMD Radeon RX 7800XT, 32GB of DDR5, 2TB of SSD
iBUYPOWER TraceMesh | $1,599.99 $1,329.99 at Newegg
Player Two has entered the game
Jumping back to the Nvidia side of things (GPU-wise), gamers looking for more power might be interested in the NZXT Player Two Prime, which is also discounted in the brand's Cyber Monday sale.
It's more pricey than the RTX 4070 Ti Super configuration I highlighted in an earlier post, but it's a lot more balanced, meaning it'll take a lot longer for you to feel the need to upgrade any of its parts.
Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, RTX 4070 Ti Super, 32GB of DDR5, 1TB SSD
NZXT Player Two Prime | $2,099 $1,949 at NZXT
What about a handheld gaming PC?
If you want that portable kick, the Asus ROG Ally is a wonderful option to pick - yes, I did want that to rhyme.
This is the Z1 Extreme version (the more powerful one that tends to cost more), and with its Cyber Monday shirt on, it's epic value versus the Steam Deck.

Where can you find the best Cyber Monday gaming PC deals?
I'd argue Newegg is the best source overall for gaming PC deals this Cyber Monday - as you might guess from the number of posts so far in which I've highlighted its wares. For prebuilt machines, it has the best prices on average, and even if a couple are more expensive than comparative ones at other retailers, it has the strongest selection of builds to choose from. There are some decent component deals too.
Walmart and Best Buy are great for availability. Both retailers has some solid selections of gaming PCs, especially on the entry-level end of the equation. Best Buy has some good GPU deals as well, so if you're shopping for one of those individually, schedule a stop on your schedule there.
Amazon's selection of gaming PC deals during Black Friday was pretty lackluster, but now during Cyber Monda,y it's even weaker. I'd argue that you should only really shop at Amazon if you're looking for component upgrades like CPUs or SSDs. You may find some GPUs going for cheaper-than-ever prices, but make Amazon the source of your smaller upgrades today.
A perfect DDR5 upgrader, but not much else
This gaming PC is great, but someone at CyberPowerPC forgot to put the graphics card in it!
I kid, of course. My guess is that this PC has been designed as a cheap way for an existing PC gamer to upgrade to a DDR5 system without overspending because they already own a GPU they're happy with.
For anyone else, I'm not sure I'd recommend this because for the same price and cheaper you can get a complete gaming PC, graphics card and all.
Specs: AMD Ryzen 5 7600, 16GB of DDR5, 1TB of SSD
CyberPowerPC Gamer Master | $899 $799 at Walmart
If it's a great value GPU you're after this Cyber Monday, Intel has you covered
It's easy to forget that Intel makes GPUs these days, and its Arc A770 graphics card is under $230 for Cyber Monday. You'll struggle to find a 16GB card for the same price that can provide good 1440p performance in new games, and while it's lacking in the AI upscaling department, this is a solid entry level option provides great results for its price. The version we've tested is a custom Acer number, but Newegg has a ASRock Challenger model that boasts the same abilities.
ASRock Challenger Arc A770 | $279.99 $229.99 at Newegg
This Alienware PC is rocking an RTX 4060 Ti and a $400 discount
If you're looking to just into PC gaming, or you have a younger player starting off their journey, this modest Alienware Aurora R16 could be a perfect build. It's not exactly low spec since it's armed with an RTX 4060 Ti and a watercooled Intel Core i7 14700F, but it's a perfect starting point for under $1,200. Plus, it's specs should accommodate future graphics cards like the theoretical RTX 5060 nicely if you need a boost later on.
Specs: Intel Core i7 14700F, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, 16 GB DDR5 RAM , 1 TB SSD
Alienware Aurora R16 | $1,599.99 $1,199.99 at Dell
Got a DDR4 compatible motherboard? This Corsair Vengeance RAM kit is cheaper than ever
Many rigs out there are still rocking DDR4, and if yours does too, you can take advantage of this Cyber Monday Corsair Vengeance 32GB RAM kit. You're getting two 16GB 3600MHz sticks for $62.99, which should come in handy if you need a complete memory revamp. Upgrading is also going to increase your chances of hitting recommended specs for new releases since 16GB is becoming a bare minimum, and this 37% discount brings this specific kit to a record low.
Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO SL DDR4 (2x16GB) 3600MHz | $99.99 $62.99 at Amazon
The Lenovo Legion Go is going for less at Amazon this Cyber Monday
Lenovo Legion Go prices have been pretty turbulent over the past few days, and while its current price isn't a record low, it's probably a last chance to grab it for less before Cyber Monday wraps up. Plus, it's current $484.99 tag isn't low enough to risk hikes back up to MSRP, especially since the lowest offer was $472.97.
TLDR - Grab the Legion Go for under $485 before Cyber Monday ends if you're in the market for a big olde Windows handheld.
Lenovo Legion Go (512GB) | $699.99 $484.99 at Amazon
Our old go-to is down to its best-ever price
Looking for your first DDR5 processor? Or an upgrade from a 12th-generation i5? The 12th Gen i7 is currently at its cheapest-ever price at Amazon, making it one of the best value chips you can throw into your desktop PC this Cyber Monday.
This CPU holds a special place in my heart because it was the processor that was in the official GamesRadar+ testing PC when I inherited it from my predecessor. And it's got some serious kick to it!
Intel Core i7-12700K | $224 $186 at Amazon
Looking to build your own?
Not liking any of the pizzas on this year's Cyber Monday gaming PC deals menu? Why not grab some ingredients and make your own?
Newegg's bundle picker helps you to choose the exact parts you want inside your PC, and it makes it clear what's on offer and what codes you can enter to grab the best deal. You never know, it could work out cheaper than buying a pre-made system.
If you don't need the RTX 4060 Ti, save yourself $50
The HP Omen 35L selections at Best Buy are great, but if you can't afford the RTX 4060 Ti version we mentioned earlier, this might offer you a slightly cheaper alternative.
As a reminder, the HP Omen 35L is still brand new, only launching later on in 2024. This model comes with a great processor to accompany its RTX 4060 GPU.
Specs: AMD Ryzen 5 8500G, RTX 4060, 16GB of DDR5, 1TB SSD
HP Omen 35L | $1,299.99 $949.99 at Best Buy
The SSD prices I've been waiting for all year
Since I also review SSDs and storage devices, I've been watching the very disappointing prices of those this year too. This time last year you could easily find top Gen 4 drives in 2TB form for $120, and this year you'd be lucky to find them for anything under $140.
This 2TB WD Black SN850X is down to $114 at Amazon though, which is very worthy of your money if you want more storage space.
WD Black SN850X 2TB | $139.99 $114.99 at Newegg
Another solid RTX 4060 build under $1,000
This Skytech (not to be misread for Skynet - like I just did) Nebula over at Walmart is another great example of an RTX 4060 build you can grab for under $1,000 right now.
I've highlighted a few options that are more affordable with similar specs, so this is one I'd recommend if those start to run out of stock. Even so, this is the sort of deal you should be making the most of this Black Friday.
Specs: Intel Core i5-12400F, RTX 4060, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD

You don't need to use a mouse and keyboard you know
I don't know about you, but I've never liked gaming with a keyboard, which is why I swapped mine out for an Azeron Cyborg. That was a few years ago now, and I've never looked back. This is the newer Azeron Cyborg II, which only launched in September, and it's one of my favorite gaming peripherals of all time.
For a limited time, you can grab one in its first-ever discount. It's currently only $216 at Amazon, and there are a few colors you can choose from.
Azeron Cyborg II | $240 $216 at Amazon
My favorite RTX 4070 PC deal this Cyber Monday
I think the RTX 4070 category of gaming PC has been one of the best this Cyber Monday and Black Friday. I've watched RTX 4070 Super machines drop from the $2,000 mark down to the $1,449 price point, and now, there seems to be no limit to how far they're dropping. Just remember you don't have much time to wait and see anymore. If you can afford these excellent and versatile mid-rangers, pull the trigger now before the clock strikes 12.
This Yeyian Tanto that I highlighted above only sports the RTX 4070 in its base form, which gives it even more bang for your buck if you're working on a smaller budget. $1,149 is an excellent price to pay for a PC that also gives you 32GB of DDR5 and a processor that's only a year old.
Specs: Intel Core i5-14400F, RTX 4070, 32GB of DDR5, 1TB SSD
Yeyian Tanto | $1,499 $1,149.99 at Newegg
Turn up the volume this Cyber Monday
If you're a current PC gamer and you're saddened to learn that Cyber Monday gaming PC deal prices are still out of reach, don't fret. Your savings could always go toward some smaller quality-of-life upgrades that'll make your setup feel new.
The SteelSeries Arena 7 speakers sound excellent, which is to be expected from this brand. They also have a subwoofer to give you that extra hit of bass for the music you listen to or the epic scale of your favorite gaming soundtracks. As you'll see from the image above they feature some nice RGB backlighting too, which can add some ambience to your setup.
SteelSeries Arena 7 Speakers | $299.99 $239.99 at Amazon
If you've just joined me: This is the cheapest I'd go for this Cyber Monday
The clock is ticking, and you're running out of time to bag a decent gaming PC deal this Cyber Monday. As a quick reminder of where we're at, this Acer Nitro 50 is the cheapest gaming PC I'd recommend to you at the moment. It has an RTX 3050 graphics card which is the most affordable of Nvidia's last generation options. It does, however, come with a DDR5 motherboard and up-to-date parts, which means you can save money while still getting decent future-proofing. Here are the specs:
Specs: Intel Core i5-14400F, RTX 3050, 16GB of DDR5, 1TB of SSD
