Happy festivities time, people. Hope you all had a great Christmas, if that's your jam. If you have some present money burning a hole in your pockets there are some good deals coming out in the after Christmas sales, and I'm checking out the best ones.
Despite there being a bunch of new graphics cards on the horizon for 2025, the actual mid- and lower-end GPUs are unlikely to launch until the middle of next year. So, if you're after a good, affordable gaming PC today, the RTX 4060 is still going to be about your best bet.

MSI Codex R2 | RTX 4060 | Core i5 13400F | 16 GB DDR5-5600 | [[link]] 1 TB SSD |
This is the cheapest RTX 4060 gaming PC I've spotted in the post-Christmas sales, but it's a solid spec from a pretty reliable brand. The Core i5 CPU is a couple generations old now, but it's a 10-core, 16-thread chip, which will deliver gaming performance on par with that Nvidia GPU alongside it. The 16 GB RAM, and 1 TB SSD combo is pretty much the minimum we'd recommend, but is still absolutely a great spec for the money.
The when it first launched, and there haven't been any of the most recent Logitech G releases which have changed that impression. It's still a fantastic gaming mouse that delivers all that you could want from a speedy rodent.
The Hero 2 sensor is still great, with outstanding acceleration, and gaming response. And at just $80 it's a bit of a bargain.

While not a massive step on over its predecessor, the Superlight 2 is still a fantastic lightweight gaming mouse with the specs to back up its original listing price. Now, at this heavily discounted price it's an outstanding wireless gaming mouse for the money.

Back down to its pre-Black Friday price, this last-gen Zephyrus G16 is stil a great laptop, even if it doesn't have the latest Asus ROG all-metal chassis. It's still an impressively thin device, and [[link]] copes well with the RTX 4070 GPU inside it. If you're after a skinny gaming laptop, then the old Zephyrus G16 still fits the bill.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 | RTX 4070 | Intel Core i7-13620H | 16-inch | 165 Hz | 1080p | 512 GB SSD | 16 GB DDR4 3200 |
There's a couple of caveats here to be aware of, but this thin, light and powerful little laptop is still a superb deal. You get a 120 W RTX 4070, a 10-core (six Performance, four Efficient) Intel chip, and 16 GB of DDR4. That 512 GB SSD is on the small side, but there's two M2 slots so it's easy to drop in some extra storage—and while that screen is only 1080p, it's still a vibrant and fast panel.

Matching its Cyber Monday price, this Lenovo LOQ machine is packing a 115 W RTX 4070 and an octo-core AMD CPU, and will make for a quality device if you can cope with its chonky looks.

Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 | RTX 4070 | Ryzen 7 7435HS | 15.6-inch | 144 Hz | 16 GB RAM | 512 GB SSD |
This is the cheapest RTX 4070 gaming laptop I've seen so far this Black Friday/Cyber Monday period. Not only that, but it doesn't entirely suck in other ways. There's a reasonable amount of dual-channel memory and a speedy IPS screen. The 512 GB SSD does, however, suck, but you can easily upgrade it with the spare NVMe slot inside.
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 mobile (115 W)
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS (8c/16t)
- RAM: 2x 8 GB DDR5-4800
- SSD: 512 GB PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD (2x NVMe slots total—1x 2242, 1x 2280)
- Screen: 15.6-inch, 144 Hz, 1080p IPS
- USB ports: 1x USB Type-C (10 Gbps) + 3x USB Type-A (5 Gbps)
On offer for the same price it was around Cyber Monday, this 1440p gaming monitor is serving the sort of specs that just a few short years back would have been considered cutting edge for a top-end screen. Today it's well under $150 and will deliver a great gaming experience for your new rig or new GPU.

ASRock Phantom PG27Q15R2A | 27-inch | 1440p | 165 Hz | VA |
ASRock's gaming monitors are always so darned cheap—we love them for that. This 1440p panel offers resolution and a rapid refresh rate for a potent PC gaming combo, though [[link]] the built-in Wi-Fi antenna helps it stand out from the crowd. That's hardly essential, but could come in use for some.
This is a ludicrous price for my absolute favorite gaming keyboard, the . It was a great price around Black Friday when it was $40, but now it's even cheaper down at just $30 it's an total steal for a hot-swappable, lubed, stabalised, dampened gaming keeb.
Buy it, you won't regret it. But I'd suggest also picking up the hot-swappable numpad, too. That's just right now.

Mountain Everest 60 | Mechanical | 60% | RGB |
The Mountain Everest 60 is a perfect example of not having to spend a lot to get a cracking keyboard. Not only does it have hot-swappable switches and RGB, it's also wonderful to type on thanks to a plethora of enthusiast design choices such as great foam dampening, pre-lubed switches, and PBT keycaps. Oh, and you can snap on modular magnetic upgrades down the line, too, such a a numpad.
Just a quick reminder that Corsair's excellent budget gaming chair is still available for a bargain $180 all over the place. We gave it a heady 86% when we first reviewed it at $250, and at this price it's an ace deal you will find hard to better when it comes to gaming chairs at this price.
