When is the best time to buy a gaming PC? You can look for Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals in 2024 or buy anytime on Back Market. Here are some of our best discounts on gaming PCs just in time for your Holiday shopping.

Gaming PC Black Friday deals: what to expect this year

Gaming PC Black Friday deals are often eagerly anticipated, especially by gamers who need a new set-up. This time of year typically offers deals on gaming PCs like Alienware, MSA, HP, and Acer by major retailers and manufacturers.  

We’ve analyzed last year's deals to give you a good indicator of what to expect for 2024. For starters, you should expect gaming PC Black Friday deals as high as 40% off their regular prices for major brands. 

For example, Acer’s Niro computer models often see price cuts of between $899.99 and $1,100 for mid-range setups, and MSI's high-end models, like those equipped with the RTX 4090 graphics cards, often see price slashes of between $300 and $700 of their listing prices. 

Then there’s Alienware, a PC brand revered by gamers everywhere. Alienware gaming rigs often offer savings of up to 25%. In 2023, the Aurora R15 model was significantly more affordable during Black Friday, with retailers selling this gaming PC for between $1,300 and $1,600

Besides Acer, Alienware, and MSI, HP’s Omen gaming desktop PCs experience substantial price drops. In years past, these computers have been entry-level PCs for those wanting to get into the gaming space, and for good reason, considering their usual pricing of around $899.99 drops to about $649 over Black Friday. 

However, new gaming PCs aren’t the only contenders for gamers. If you’re in the market for a new gaming rig or laptop, you should consider Back Market. We’re a global leader in refurbished tech and offer discounts year-round—so there’s no need to wait for this shopping event.

Are Black Friday deals on Gaming PCs worth it?

When a deal looks too good to be true, there is a high chance it is. We all enjoy a good deal and seek out the cheapest prices, but what happens when the most affordable gaming PC pricing isn’t that cheap?

Sometimes major retailers increase their prices of gaming PCs ahead of November so that their Black Friday deals look better than they actually are. It’s not right, but it can catch shoppers off-guard, unless you’re carefully monitoring pricing at various retailers. 

Fortunately, our verified refurbished gaming PCs are here for you. Not only are our gaming PCs refurbished by industry professionals, but we also provide free standard shipping, a one-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee on your purchase.
