Best Cyber Monday PC gaming UK deals 2025: The yearly tech discounts will be rolling through Black Friday weekend and beyond

This is a great price for all you SFF (small form factor) lovers. You’re getting an older and not very powerful CPU, and only 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, but for a cheap, portable gaming system these should serve just fine alongside the RTX 5060. Usually you have to pay the SFF tax for a mini PC, so it’s great to see such a low price on this one. Don’t expect miracles with this hardware, but for some light gaming and a small physical footprint, look no further.

If you thought decent ultrawides were expensive, I’m happy to prove you wrong. VA panel, of course, but otherwise this wide boi has very little wrong with it for the cash. That 180 Hz refresh rate is very nice to see at this price.

It might have a slightly meagre 80 W power limit on the GPU, but this laptop should should still do fine pumping plenty of pixels at a 1080p display. It’s a 17.3-inch panel, too, so this is definitely a deal for those who don’t plan on moving their machine around much. Still, the AMD chip is a decent eight-core, 16-thread model, and you get a proper 1 TB SSD for a few large game installs. Not bad for the cash, I reckon.

The RTX 5070 is a good deal faster than its predecessor, the RTX 4070, and it’s priced very similarly. Other 5070 models are more expensive than this one, so don’t waste your money on them. This one will do everything you need, and it’s well under Nvidia’s MSRP.

Key specs: 6144 shaders | 2557 MHz boost | 12 GB GDDR7

It’s pretty wild what you can get these days for a relatively small sum of money. This is a 27-inch monitor for roughly the same price as some smaller 24-inch panels, and it still rocks an IPS display, 1 ms response time, and a 165 Hz refresh rate. Fantastic for gaming on a budget.

Key specs: 27-inch | 1080p | 165 Hz | 1 ms | IPSView Deal

Presenting only small gains over the SN850X, this SSD is no slouch and still offers some of the best in class 4K read performance (read our full review here). Though this drops the DDR4 DRAM cache and instead opts for a single-sided drive design, it’s still got the same versatile form factor that perfectly suits this heat-sinkless drive to PCs, consoles, and laptops.

The Lenovo Legion 5i is often on discount, which is a great thing for laptop deal hunters. This model is one of the cheapest RTX 5070 gaming laptops you’ll find in the UK right now from a major manufacturer, and one that’s worth some serious consideration. It’s got a speedy Intel chip, a 115 W variant of Nvidia’s mid-tier mobile GPU, and a proper 1 TB SSD, making it quite the catch. We love a Lenovo lappy, and this one makes a whole lot of sense.

This isn’t the most up-to-date spec, with a Ryzen 5000-series CPU and 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, but you are getting a good budget GPU with the RTX 5060 Ti, and importantly, you’re getting absolutely everything else with this build. It comes with a 24-inch monitor, headset, keyboard, mouse, and mouse pad. So, if you’re getting into PC gaming for the first time, or buying for someone else who is, this should have everything you need.

Key specs: Ryzen 5 5500 | RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB | 16 GB DDR4-3600 | 1 TB SSDView Deal

We now have some entry-level RTX 50-series graphics cards on the market, and with it we’re seeing builds like this pop up which should offer decent current-gen gaming performance without breaking the bank. The RTX 5060 Ti in this is paired with a previous-gen Intel CPU that has 6 P-Cores, which should be more than enough for mainstream gaming. Just bear in mind you’re only getting 16 GB of DDR4 RAM here. It’ll almost certainly be worth upgrading to 32 GB of fast DDR4 RAM when you can.

Key specs: Core i5 14400F | RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB | 16 GB DDR4 | 1 TB SSDView Deal

You might not be getting Nvidia’s latest Multi Frame Gen (MFG) tech with this AMD build, but you are getting 16 GB of VRAM in the RX 9060 XT GPU for a very reasonable price. The rest of the gaming PC is pretty spectacular for the price, too—it even comes with 2 TB of storage.deal

This is a great price for a solid midrange gaming PC. The RTX 5070 at the heart of this thing is surprisingly one of the best-value GPUs of this generation, and it’s great for some 1440p gaming. One thing to note, though, is that you’ll almost certainly want to upgrade that memory to a faster DDR5 kit as soon as you can, as 4,800 MT/s is quite slow.

Key specs: Core i5 14400F | RTX 5070 | 32 GB DDR5-4800 | 1 TB SSDView Deal

We’re now in the new generation of GPUs, and at this price point it makes sense to opt for an RTX 5070 or RX 9070 gaming PC. This build in particular is pretty well-rounded for a circa £1,600-£,1700 rig. The Ryzen 5 7600 is more than adequate for gaming today (though don’t expect miracles) and 32 GB of DDR5 memory and 2 TB of storage is the sweet spot for midrange and even high-end gaming PCs.

** 25/11/2025 – NOT WORTH IT NOW THERE’S THE SCAN ONE **View Deal

The RX 9070 XT is AMD’s top-end GPU offering right now, and with it you’re getting RTX 5070 Ti-competing performance. That means high-end mainstream gaming at 1440p. Combined with a decent mid-range current-gen CPU you’re getting a powerful setup, here. You’ll probably want to double up that RAM and storage capacity before too long, though.

Key specs: Ryzen 5 9600X | RX 9070 XT | 16 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSDView Deal

With the RTX 5070 Ti at the heart of this gaming PC, you’re getting something that’s brushing the edges of high-end territory. It can handle 1440p gaming a breeze, and it can even give 4K a good shot in many games. And while new Ryzen 5 7600X3D in this gaming PC isn’t a productivity powerhouse, it has plenty of 3D V-Cache, which games love churning through.

Key specs: Ryzen 5 7600X3D | RTX 5070 Ti | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 2 TB SSDView Deal

This Horizon build is like the one above, except it packs in a current-gen Ryzen 5 CPU and an RTX 5070 Ti, which is not insubstantially better than the RTX 5070. This is definitively high-end territory, and you’re getting it for just over £2,000, which isn’t bad in the current (admittedly pretty poor) market.

** NOT AS GOOD AS OCUK ONE – 25/11/2025 **View Deal

Unless you’re willing to pay a significant extra premium for an X3D chip, this is about as ideal an RTX 5080 gaming PC you can get. It’s got a decent eight-core CPU and 32 GB of fast DDR5 RAM, so the RTX 5080 shouldn’t be bottlenecked at all. And that means great high-end performance at 1440p and 4K, even if you don’t enable Multi Frame Gen (MFG).

Key specs: Ryzen 7 9700X | RTX 5080 | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 2 TB SSDView Deal

RTX 5060 gaming laptops are finally dropping well below the £1,000 mark, and this little Acer machine is now going for the same price I’m seeing many RTX 5050 laptops retailing for. It’s a 75 W variant of Nvidia’s budget mobile graphics chip, so it’s not the most powerful, but when paired with a 1080p screen, it should still deliver good gaming performance on a tight budget.

Key specs: RTX 5060 | Core i7 13620H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 165 Hz | 16 GB DDR4 | 1 TB SSD

Price check: Amazon £799.99View Deal

This Alienware lappy does have a pretty heavy caveat—a 1600p screen represents a whole lot of pixels for an 85 W RTX 5060 to pump out. That being said, if you’re prepared to lean on DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation, it should still do fine in most games—and the rest of the specs are reasonable for the price, too. It’s not quite a monster of a gaming machine, but for under £1,000, it still makes for a very tempting offer.

While this Gigabyte lappy has a relatively low-power variant of the RTX 5070 at an 85 W TGP, the fact that it’s also been equipped with an easy-on-the-GPU 1200p screen stacks the odds in its favour. We’ve already reviewed the RTX 5060 version and called it good—if a little underpowered, thanks to that entry-level GPU. This one? Much more like it for the cash.

With a full-strength 140 W RTX 5070 Ti at its heart, alongside a 14-core (eight Performance, 16 Efficient) Intel chip, this lappy has a sizeable amount of grunt contained within its frame. The 240 Hz 1600p display is a bit beastly, too, although if I was being picky with the specs sheet, I’d like it to have more RAM. Prices are running rampant on memory at the moment, but I’d still happily pick up this gaming laptop at this price and keep an eye on my background apps.

Key specs: RTX 5070 Ti | Core Ultra 9 275HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 240 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSDView Deal

RTX 5080 machines are still eye-wateringly expensive for the most part, but we’re big fans of this Vector lappy, especially because of the price. It might not have the prettiest chassis, but it’s as fast as a very, very fast thing for a fair bit cheaper than most of the competition—with a speedy 240 Hz IPS panel thrown into the bargain, too. That makes it a genuine value proposition in a laptop market filled with extremely pricey equivalents. It’s a smart buy, no doubt, although I’d stick a touch more RAM in it for cheap to really bring it up to mega spec.

Price check: Overclockers UK $2,399.99View Deal

Intel’s budget B570 is only a fraction slower than its last-gen range-topper Arc A770, so at this price, it’s well worth considering. The drivers are in a much better state than they were at launch, though there are still a few games that cause problems. When it’s all working fine, though, you’re getting a lot of GPU for the money.

Key specs: 2304 shaders | 2660 MHz boost | 10 GB GDDR6

Arc B570 price check: Overclockers £179.99 | Amazon £232.26View Deal

Nvidia’s newest member of the RTX 50-series family isn’t going to win many awards. Roughly on par with an RTX 4060 (sometimes slower, sometimes faster), it’s only worth considering if you must have DLSS 4. You’re better off just paying a bit more and getting an RX 9060 XT or RTX 5060.

Key specs: 2560 shaders | 2572 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR6

RTX 5050 price check: Overclockers £218.99 | Currys £219.99 | Amazon £223.99 | Laptops Direct £228.97View Deal

Although it can be really fast in some games, the B580 isn’t as consistent as AMD and Nvidia’s offerings. It’s priced very competitively, though, so it’s still worth considering, especially if you’re on a tight budget and want more than 8 GB of VRAM.

Key specs: 2560 shaders | 2740 MHz boost | 12 GB GDDR6

Arc B580 price check: Amazon £275.97View Deal

The RTX 5060 isn’t massively faster than its predecessor, the RTX 4060, but having full support for DLSS 4 is a big plus. Stocks are decent, so you should have no problem picking one up at the MSRP, but you’re better off saving more money and buying a 16 GB RX 9060 XT or RTX 5060 Ti.

Key specs: 3840 shaders | 2497 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR7

RTX 5060 price check: Scan £249.98 | Amazon £249.99 | Laptops Direct £268.97 | Currys £279.99View Deal

Nvidia’s RTX 5060 has superior upscaling and frame generation technologies, but AMD’s little RX 9060 XT has it beat on raw GPU power, including ray tracing. You’re probably better off saving more money and buying a 16 GB version, though, for when games start demanding more memory.

Key specs: 2048 shaders | 3150 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR6

RX 9060 XT 8 GB price check: Amazon £269.99 | Currys £269.99 | Scan £269.99 | Laptops Direct £278.97View Deal

The 16 GB version of the RX 9060 XT isn’t quite as fast as the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB card when ray tracing is involved, but outside of that, it’s generally on par. You don’t get as good an upscaling and frame generation system as with the Nvidia GPU, though. It is much cheaper, which counts for a lot these days.

RX 9060 XT 16 GB price check: Scan £319.98 | Amazon £322.10 | Currys £324.99 | Laptops Direct £349.97View Deal

The 8 GB version of the new RTX 5060 Ti is a lot cheaper than the 16 GB one, and while the extra VRAM will be useful in the future, it’s certainly not worth paying £60 more for it. This is a great little GPU for the money.

Key specs: 4608 shaders | 2602 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR7

RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB price check: Scan £333.49 | Amazon £334.98 | Currys £349 | Laptops Direct £352.97View Deal

While the specs suggest it should only be a little faster than the 4060 Ti, the use of super-speedy GDDR7 gives the RTX 5060 Ti a surprisingly healthy boost. Not worth buying if you already have an RTX 40-series card, but it’s a decent upgrade if you have a much older GPU.

The RTX 5070 is a good deal faster than its predecessor, the RTX 4070, and it’s priced very similarly. Other 5070 models are more expensive than this one, so don’t waste your money on them. This one will do everything you need, and it’s well under Nvidia’s MSRP.

The RX 9070 is a really solid mid-range graphics card, and now that it’s priced way more sensibly than it was at launch, it’s a better purchase than the RTX 5070. It’s a fraction more expensive, but it’s generally faster all round in games.

Key specs: 3584 shaders | 2520 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR6

RX 9070 price check: Amazon £487.98 | Scan £499.98 | Laptops Direct £540.97View Deal

The RX 9070 XT is AMD’s best graphics card in recent years, so naturally, it’s hugely popular, resulting in high prices. However, this one is actually a little under MSRP and seriously undercuts the RTX 5070 Ti. Although the 9070 XT isn’t as strong when ray tracing is involved, it gives Nvidia’s GPU a good run for the money everywhere else.

Key specs: 4096 shaders | 2970 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR6

RX 9070 XT price check: Amazon £539.99 | Overclockers £548.99 | Scan £569.99 | Laptops Direct £590.97View Deal

At its £729 MSRP, the RTX 5070 Ti is an expensive but superb graphics card, so it’s an even better card when it’s cheaper. If you think of it as being like an RTX 4080 with DLSS 4 support and great overclocking ability, you’ll see why it’s worth the money. The only problem is that the RX 9070 XT is a lot cheaper.

Key specs: 8960 shaders | 2482 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR7

RTX 5070 Ti price check: | Overclockers £689.99 | Currys £729.99 | Amazon £749.99 | Laptops Direct £795.97View Deal

At this price, it’s below the launch MSRP, but it’s arguably still not worth the money, as the RTX 5080 isn’t that much faster than the RTX 4080 it replaces. You do get the full DLSS 4 suite, including Multi Frame Generation, but you might be better off waiting for a bigger price drop.

Key specs: 10752 shaders | 2655 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR7

If you really must have the most powerful gaming graphics card money can buy, then you’re going to need an awful lot of money. You’ll need a high-end CPU and PSU to go with it, but if you’re happy to spend this kind of money on a graphics card, it probably won’t matter.

The TC100 Relaxed is our favourite affordable gaming chair right now, following up on the popular T3 Rush with a great look and genuine comfort. And on a personal note, the fact that it allows you to sit cross-legged is a big plus for the TC100 and a big cross against most bucket seat style chairs.

We’ve been fans of Boulies gaming chairs for a while now for their quality and comfort, but it makes chairs of all types, even for the office dwellers among us. This mesh office chair has plenty of adjustability, an integrated lumbar support, and a breathable material that should keep you cool, comfy, and upright. Use code BF90 for an extra £90 off in its early Black Friday sale.

Key specs: Mesh fabric | Black or grey | Adjustable lumbar supportView Deal

With a wide base and a simplistic design, the Phantom 3 isn’t the most exciting-looking chair around, but it’s all about the comfort and reliable build quality. We know all about AndaSeat quality at this point, and they’re supremely robust chairs. The only real question about comfort is the pretty basic armrests and a bit of an awkward lumbar cushion.

Key specs: Extra wide seat | 2D armrestsView Deal

This is a gaming chair that wouldn’t look too out of place in an office, and it probably wouldn’t feel too out of place sitting on it, either. Its subtle black aesthetic is matched by its adjustable armrests and lumbar support, so you can adjust things to your liking and keep comfy over long periods.

Key specs: PU leather | 4D armrests | lumbar supportView Deal

The Boulies Master series performed very well in our review, and the model with the water-resistant fabric is covered under this discount as well. It’s got comfortable armrests, good lumbar support and is very stable in all positions, making this a chair you can really rely on to stand the test of everyday comfort.

Key specs: Ultraflex PU fabric | 4D armrests | Built-in lumbar support

Our favourite gaming chair does not come cheap, with the prices having risen consistently since the Titan Evo originally launched. To combat that, Secretlab has released the Titan Evo Lite, a chair that comes in at the same original price as the Titan Evo. It’s got the same essential design but lacks some of the luxury touches, such as adjustable lumbar support and the special magnetic neck pillow and armrests.

Key specs: Leatherette or softweaveView Deal

In our review of the XL version, we found it to be very comfy indeed with nice features like the magnetic snap-on neck support pillow and built-in adjustable lumbar support. The adjustment knobs might be a bit fiddly, but overall this is a great gaming chair with a host of features even some of the more expensive thrones would love to have.

Key specs: PVC leather or fabric | Integrated lumbar support | 4D armrestsView Deal

The Titan Evo is not just a gaming chair but a gaming throne, thanks to a comfortable seat, sturdy build, and great look. It is a tad more expensive than the previous Evo, but a £120 discount helps bridge that gap.

Key specs: Black Stealth model | SmallView Deal

The NeueChair has long stood as our pick for the best office chair, and for good reason. It’s highly adjustable, incredibly comfortable, and it’s cheaper than many of Herman Miller’s lot. While it’s a lot to ask for a PC gamer to spend so much on a bland chair without fire decals or their favourite LoL character sprayed on it, we think it’s well worth it for a proper office/gaming room.

If you can’t dedicate a whole chunk of your room to your sim rig alone, the Challenge is a more compact sim racing cockpit than the Trophy. It’ll fold together easily, yet it still retains a solid base for your wheel and pedal set.

Key specs: Sim racing cockpit | Foldable

Price check: Amazon £149.99View Deal

If you can spare the space (this racing rig won’t pack down to a smaller size), this is one of the comfiest and most sturdy racing rigs I’ve ever used at home. There’s space for your pedals and wheel as standard, and everything stays firmly in place so you can really slam on the load-cell brake if need be while racing. Logitech isn’t selling it any cheaper right now, so worth a punt on Amazon’s discount price.

If you need a cheap second monitor, or just something to start off your PC gaming hobby for as little as possible, this 1080p display from Koorui is perfect. For less than £70, you’re getting an IPS display with a 200 Hz refresh rate. That’s just bonkers, mate.

Key specs: 24-inch | 1080p | 200 Hz | 1 ms | IPS View Deal

It’s true, 1440p monitors really are amazing value these days. Plus, a graphics card capable of running modern games at this resolution won’t cost you more than a car. This option comes with a very capable 200 Hz IPS panel and can be pushed another 10 Hz via overclocking if you so wish. Not bad for the price, eh?

Key specs: 27-inch | 1440p | 200 Hz | 1 ms | IPS View Deal

A 1440p panel with a super speedy refresh rate and a snappy response time, this is a bit of a banger for less than £140. Being 27 inches, it’s a bit small, but it’s still a lot of monitor for not that much. It does have a slight curve to it, though, so make sure that’s the kind of screen you’re looking for.

Key specs: 27-inch | 180 Hz | 1440p | 0.5 ms | VA | 1500R View Deal

A high refresh rate panel that doesn’t demand a powerful graphics card to make the most of it. That’s what this Lenovo panel is all about. It’s not going to be suited to everyone’s tastes—I’d rather a higher resolution, lower refresh panel myself—but the combination of 240 Hz and 0.5 ms response time might appeal to the competitive gamers out there.

Key specs: 27-inch | 1080p | 240 Hz | 0.5 ms | VA View Deal

If you thought decent ultrawides were expensive, I’m happy to prove you wrong. VA panel, of course, but otherwise this wide boi has very little wrong with it for the cash. That 180 Hz refresh rate is very nice to see at this price.

LG makes some of our favourite gaming monitors, and this 4K IPS panel is part of its UltraGear line, of which we are very much fans. The 144 Hz refresh rate might not be the fastest, but it’s still plenty speedy for most, and otherwise, this panel has near-flawless specs for the cash. Okay, it’s not an OLED, but it’s one of the best IPS around.

Key specs: 32-inch | 144 Hz | 1 ms | IPSView Deal

This Alienware is a good blend of resolution (1440p) and refresh rate (280 Hz) for competitive gaming without going full ‘turn your settings to low and sit two inches from a 24-inch 1080p screen’. It’s an OLED, with a lush picture quality, and the response time is a snappy 0.03 ms.

The code names given to monitors are often impenetrable, but the difference between this MAG 322UP and the MAG 321UPX is that this one has a 165 Hz refresh instead of 240 Hz. That’s the only difference between this and the more expensive one. If you’re not concerned about the refresh rate difference (and do you have the hardware to hit a matching 240 fps otherwise?), then this is where the smart OLED money is spent.

For just storing documents, this small SATA SSD is a lot faster than a traditional HDD and Lexar makes reliable and robust SSDs. You’re still better off getting an NVMe M.2 SSD for games and your operating system, though.

This is one of our favourite SSDs for gaming right now. Unlike the cheaper SN770, the SN850X encapsulates the best PCIe 4.0 offers in terms of performance (check out our review). That makes it a great fit for a boot drive with space to spare for your game library, and at this price, we’re happy to pay the premium for its higher speed.

This SSD is definitely a good bit slower than the newer SN5100 model. Still, plenty of space at this price point might make the compromise worth your while.

Prices for the XS70 are some of the most variable I’ve seen for an SSD, so it’s perhaps worth waiting to see if the price dips again before picking one up. It packs rather a large bang for your buck with its fast read and write times, at least. While the software side of things may be a little lacking, we were impressed with this drive’s overall performance and value proposition.

Presenting only small gains over the SN850X, this SSD is no slouch and still offers some of the best in class 4K read performance (read our full review here). Though this drops the DDR4 DRAM cache and instead opts for a single-sided drive design, it’s still got the same versatile form factor that perfectly suits this heat-sinkless drive to PCs, consoles, and laptops.

It’s a lot of money to spend on a storage drive but it’s actually great value for money. Trying to find a high-quality 4 TB SSD around £200 in the UK is pretty impossible right now but this Lexar is well worth the extra money. There are cheaper SSDs with the same capacity but they won’t have anywhere near the same performance or longevity.

Small, light, and very fast in the right USB port, this little SSD might be all you need for your external storage requirements. While we didn’t think it offered a great amount of drop resistance in our review, the SD810 is rated to IP68, so it’ll fend off dust and water ingress nicely.

Crucial is a big name in SSDs, and the Micron-owned brand is offering a small saving on this 1TB external model. The drive comes in an anodized aluminium shell with a rubberized base and is just 65 x 50 mm big. There’s an integrated lanyard hole too, if you want to wear it, which hides a drive activity light. If this isn’t enough storage for you, the 2 TB version is only £105.99 on Amazon.

If you need a small external SSD but don’t want to sacrifice capacity or performance, then Crucial’s X10 Pro is a great choice. It’s the same size as the X6 model but has double the read/write performance, though you will need to plug it into a 20 Gbps USB port to reach full speed.

JBL have an excellent reputation for superb audio quality, and this headset is rather good value at this price. Featuring JBL’s “Quantum Sound Signature”, memory foam ear cushions and a good quality detachable boom microphone, it’s difficult to think of a better value headset for the money.

Key specs: 40mm drivers | 20-20,000Hz | Closed-back | WiredView Deal

This Logitech headset is a lightweight marvel with memory foam earphone pads and a refined yet colorful aesthetic. The 40mm neodymium drivers are well-rounded and it comes with a handy in-line volume control on its extra-long wire. The microphone is nothing to write home about, but for this price these make an excellent entry-level set of cans.

This is a gaming headset that keeps cropping up in the deals, and it’s remarkably good value even at full whack. With 50 mm drivers that are great for music, gaming, or anything else you want to pump into your lugholes, plus a good-looking and comfortable design, there’s really not a lot to complain about here for the price. Maybe the green cable? Nah, I actually think it’s kinda cool.

This Logitech headset is a great entry point for those on a budget looking for a wireless solution, and comes with a surprising set of features for the money. There’s Dolby Atmos support, 18 hours of battery life, and a lightweight design, meaning these cans will stay comfortable for longer play sessions. The built-in microphones are not the best-sounding things we’ve ever heard, but are perfectly functional, and at this price, we think this set makes a solid budget option.

If you’re looking for a cheap pair of earbuds with some premium specs, the EarFun Air Pro 4 are much better than the name might suggest. They sound great and have excellent battery life, though the lack of a 2.4 GHz mode is a slight disappointment. Bluetooth with Game Mode is good enough, though.

HyperX make some of our most recommended headsets, and this Core edition of the Cloud Stinger has a load of great features at a very reasonable price. Virtual 7.1 surround, a swivel-to-mute-microphone, onboard audio controls and durable steel sliders make this a sleek and svelte package for a budget price tag.

SteelSeries knows how to make a lightweight and comfy gaming headset, and this one is no exception. It’s got the same chassis design as some of the more expensive models, all without skimping on the important bits, like accurate drivers and a good microphone. It’s removable, too, which means you can take advantage of the Bluetooth connection and wear it outside, all without looking like a prize plum thanks to its subtle design.

The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 is a remarkably good gaming headset, which came as something of a surprise to us given that we haven’t been huge fans of some of the other Turtle Beach offerings. It’s an understated, somewhat-stylish affair with a clear mic, excellent soundstage, and superb battery life. The headband could do with a touch more padding, but otherwise this is well worth some serious consideration.

If comfort and good looks are at the top of your priority list, you should definitely check out the Razer Kraken V4. Despite its weight, we found it to be a very comfortable thing to wear in our review, which combined with the excellent audio quality and reasonable price makes it a winner in our book. Oh, and that was at the full MSRP, so with a decent chunk knocked off? Even better.

This is technically the Xbox model of one of the best-selling SteelSeries wireless headsets, but it’ll work just fine on PC, and the subtle neon green aesthetic is rather pleasing regardless. It’s packed with features like the legendary ClearCast Noise-cancelling microphone, Dual Wireless connection, and a 20-hour-plus battery life, but the real rub here is getting a great-sounding SteelSeries wireless headset for a heavily discounted price.

An 8 KHz polling rate, Hall effect switches, rapid trigger, and nice double-shot PBT keycaps. To think you can get all of this, and a pretty unique aesthetic for just $63, makes the geeky hardware kid in me very happy. The Gamakay x NaughShark NS68 is noticeably a cheaper keyboard in feel, but those internals truly are phenomenal.

The Huntsman V2 gets all the Razer goodies into one desk-dominating package with Razer Chroma lighting, doubleshot PBT keycaps and Analog Optical mechanical switches. The magnetic wrist rest is removable, and it even features a handy dial in the top right corner that can be programmed in a multitude of ways. A big chunk of a fully-featured gaming keyboard, for a much-discounted price.

This one’s for all you low-profile lovers out there. The Falchion RX Low Profile is a smashing little keyboard—and I do say “little” because it uses a 60% layout, although thankfully it keeps the arrow keys. The switches you get are fantastic, though: pre-lubed and smooth as butter. The board even comes with volume controls along the top.

This is the absolute best gaming keyboard overall, and even a light discount is pretty good.

All for one of the best prices we’ve seen this keyboard going for.

Perfect as a starter or low-budget option with a list of useful features like 6 programmable buttons, Lightsync RGB effects and a ton of customisation via Logitech’s G Hub software, this mouse proves that you don’t need to go fancy to get a great gaming peripheral.

The Logitech G305 Lightspeed is our favorite wireless budget mouse—it’s nothing fancy, but it’s lightweight, has great battery life, and uses a killer sensor. The only thing to note is that this deal isn’t necessarily that out of left field—the G305 hasn’t been at full price for a while, but it’s still worth snagging if you need a nice budget option with no frills in time for the holidays.

This is a big discount on a tried and tested Logitech gaming mouse, with an astonishing amount of customisation potential. The G502 Hero uses the Hero 25K sensor for accuracy, 11 customisable buttons with onboard memory, and even comes with five removable weights to adjust the feel for even the pickiest of competitive gamers. The two main buttons use mechanical switch tensioning to make every click feel satisfying, and the programmable RGB lighting finishes off this comprehensive package of gaming mouse goodness.

The SteelSeries Aerox 3 might be lightweight with its honeycombed design, but it’s certainly not light on features. With a 200-hour battery life, dual connectivity, and AquaBarrier protection to ensure water, dust and dirt resistance, this is a mouse designed to take some abuse and keep on trucking. And with a £50 discount, it’s well worth considering next to the other options here.

This gaming controller remains our top budget pick for good reason. In our review, James was particularly impressed by just how much GameSir cram into such an affordable package, highlighting the controller’s Hall Effect sticks and 2.4 GHz connectivity. It’d be nice if that package also included a USB-C charging cable, but still. The build quality can’t stand shoulder to shoulder with Elite controllers, but for something both light in the hands and light on price, it’s tough to argue against.

We’ve already raved about Hall Effect joysticks and how they spell the end for the dreaded stick drift. In this wireless gaming controller, they’re a welcome feature, but this handful of gaming hardware packs a few quirky surprises too. For instance, the triggers also benefit from a Hall effect, but not only that, there are extra bumper buttons. They’re billed as fully remappable ‘Fast Bumpers,’ though their inner corner placement may not sit well for those with tiny mitts.

Though a little on the narrower side, this well-balanced controller remains comfortable to play through long sessions. A 20-hour battery life, plus the option to game while you charge (even without using the included dock), ensures this gamepad won’t leave you high and dry when you need it most.

The original Razer Seiren Mini was a great little gaming mic, and the V3 version promises much of the same. It’s a tiny little “egg-in-an-eggcup” style design that should fit on your desk with little issue, and it’s cute as a button. You also get tap-to-mute functionality, a built-in shock absorber, and plug and play functionality. No noise cancelling, though. Shame.

The SteelSeries Alias is a powerful little pill-shaped microphone that tucks straight into most desktop setups with ease.

Plus, SteelSeries Sonar software comes with excellent noise cancelling, to filter out unwanted audio nasties.

If you feel the need for some RGB, they don’t come any prettier than this HyperX microphone.

The SteelSeries Pro has nearly everything you need to control your next stream, including an XLR to USB Type-C interface with programmable buttons and dials for easy audio switching and adjustments. It’d be nice if it included a boom arm, though, as the microphone provided is good in a desktop position, great up close. Still, grab yourself a cheap one of those, and this makes for a great miniature recording and streaming setup.

This is basically a slightly slower Ryzen 5 7600X without an integrated GPU (which isn’t very good, anyway), so that makes it ideal for any budget gaming PC. To be honest, it’ll even be fine for any mainstream build. Note that this is an OEM model, so it won’t come in retail packaging or with any kind of a cooler.

Key specs: 6 cores | 12 threads | 5.0 GHz boost | 32 MB L3 cache | 65 W TDP | AM5 socketView Deal

Somewhat disappointing at launch, the Ryzen 5 9600X has improved considerably thanks to a host of BIOS, microcode, and Windows updates. Still a little pricey for what it is, this little CPU is excellent in games and sips at power. With only 12 threads, though, it’s not so great for content creation, such as Blender or video editing, though you’re better off using a GPU for those tasks anyway.

This isn’t much of a deal, and that’s because Intel’s last generation of Core processors is still in high demand. While not the outright fastest of the series, the Core i5 14600KF is fast in gaming and not too shabby at other workloads, thanks to its 20 threads.

While it’s soundly beaten by AMD’s Ryzen 9000-series chips in gaming, Intel’s underrated Core Ultra 7 265K is actually great value for money. With 20 threads on tap, along with support for ultra-fast RAM, the 265K is ideal for anyone who wants an all-round processor.

Although it has been superseded by the newer 9800X3D, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is still a superlative gaming CPU. That’s why it’s still pretty expensive for an eight-core processor. It runs pretty hot, so you’ll need a decent cooler to go with it.

This might seem quite pricey for a last-gen Intel LGA1700 motherboard, but it’s a really good one, with lots of connectivity and expansion options. If you’re going to stick a 14th Gen Core i7 or i9 in it, make sure you update the BIOS to the latest version.

This is a nice saving on a great MSI motherboard that’s perfect for a budget AM4 Ryzen gaming build. You don’t get many USB ports on the rear panel and there are only two M.2 slots, but the wealth of PCIe slots means you can have more ports and storage with expansion cards.

With Intel’s LGA1851 barely one year old, great deals on motherboards with this socket are quite rare. So it’s especially nice when this excellent board has a big discount. If you want a Core Ultra 200S build, this is all the motherboard you’ll need.

Building a budget gaming PC that uses an older processor from AMD and Intel? Unfortunately, the RAM price increases have hit DDR4 just as much as DDR5, but you can still get some good kits that aren’t outrageously expensive, like this set from Corsair.

If you must have 32 GB of DDR4, either for a new budget gaming PC or an upgrade for an AMD AM4 rig, then this set from Corsair is your best option right now. It’s plenty fast enough and looks pretty nice, too.

With RAM prices increasing so rapidly, if you’re looking to build a new gaming PC this Black Friday, you might want to stick with a 16 GB kit for now. This set from Kingston is pretty fast, and the CAS 36 rating won’t affect games too much, unless they’re really sensitive to RAM timings.

If you want a nice 32 GB kit of fast DDR5 at the moment, you’ll either have to pay a small fortune or make a few sacrifices somewhere (and still pay a lot of money). This kit from Crucial doesn’t have the absolute best in RAM timings around, but it’s more than quick for most PC gamers.
