Cyber Monday deals on gaming PCs are upon us. It’s an exciting, albeit competitive, time of year to buy gaming hardware, and if you want to make the most of the sale, it’s best to be prepared. Now that the chip shortages that plagued PC markets during the pandemic years are finally a thing of the past, we’d expect some of the best gaming PCs to be on offer. Additionally, with the staggered release of 40-series graphics cards right now, it’s likely that prebuilds with 30-series cards will finally come down in price.
In previous years, we’ve seen some nice discounts on gaming PCs during Cyber Monday. If you’re looking for an entry-level PC while transitioning from console, you’re definitely in luck. Discounts on entry-level configurations are common, but you never know what you might find this time of year. Even if you only have the money for an entry-level model, your budget may stretch beyond what you expect. We recommend keeping an open mind and not ruling out certain specs that may seem overpriced at the moment.
If you’re interested in more Cyber Monday deals, it’s worth keeping an eye out for Cyber Monday deals on gaming laptops, as well as the Cyber Monday CPU deals and Cyber Monday. Monday deals on gaming keyboard and mouse.
Cyber Monday Gaming PC Deals: Frequently Asked Questions
When Are Cyber Monday Gaming PC Deals Live?
Cyber Monday is over November 28 this year. While Black Friday and Cyber Monday have moved closer and closer in recent years, we recommend that you also keep a close eye out for the week leading up to Black Friday, which takes place on the 25th.
Should I wait until Cyber Monday to buy a gaming PC?
Since Cyber Monday happens right after Black Friday (which starts earlier and earlier each year), we personally wouldn’t recommend waiting specifically for Cyber Monday gaming PC deals. We don’t expect stock shortages to be as big a problem as in previous years, but Black Friday and Cyber Monday are competitive and we always bet on the early birds to catch the worms.
Whether it’s Cyber Monday or nothing – Smaller virtual storefronts, such as Newegg and Overclockers UK, are more likely to have deals and stock. Previously we have seen these two in particular offering customizable configurations of ABS and OcUK machines.

Cyber Monday gaming PC deals: what to expect
Amazon and Dell (in the US) are often at the forefront when it comes to hosting the biggest Cyber Monday gaming PC deals. However, the vast majority of big discounts on pre-built gaming PCs fly out of stores on Black Friday. Demand for gaming PC deals is rising every year, so if there’s a great offer that goes live on Friday, we’d be shocked to see stock last until Cyber Monday. That doesn’t mean there aren’t new deals available on Cyber Monday, but it’s something to keep an eye out for as the weeks count down.
With 40-series GPUs coming out next month and 30-series GPUs finally stable, we expect lots of deals and offers on solid gaming PCs. SSD is also in a fantastic spot price-wise right now, so we’re hopeful that Cyber Monday will bring some great deals for gaming PC buyers.
