Best case deals
For your PC to work and last a lifetime, you'll need a case. This is the chassis that houses all the components inside. Depending on what motherboard you have already or plan on buying, you'll need a case that can contain it. Motherboards come in different sizes, but so do PC cases. Mid-tower cases will usually fit Micro-ATX and ATX motherboards, while ITX cases will only fit Mini-ITX.
CORSAIR iCUE 220T RGB | $15 off at Newegg
The iCUE 220T was designed with lighting effects and cooling in mind. You can hook up six 120mm fans and four 140mm fans, and multiple radiator configurations with a 360mm rad in the front. There's a smart lighting hub located within for all your RGB needs.
Thermaltake V250 | 25% off at Amazon
This mid-tower case from Thermaltake comes rocking three pre-installed 120 ARGB fans, supports various RGB lighting moves, has a tempered glass side panel, can be used with all motherboard sizes (just not E-ATX), and up to a 360mm radiator on the front panel.
Fractal Design PC Cases | Up to 47% off
Fractal Design's Cyber Monday sale includes some excellent cases like the Fractal Design Node 804, Fractal Design Meshify C, and Fractal Design Define S2 Vision. If you need a new chassis, don't miss this deal.
Cooler Master MasterBox Q500L Micro-ATX | 25% off
This is an interesting MicroATX PC case, designed for ATX motherboards as well as the smaller Micro-ATX. How Cooler Master was able to do this was to reconfigure where the PSU and other components are installed. The top, front, rear, and bottom panels are perforated for maximum airflow and you can install up to a 240mm radiator for AIO solutions.
Cooler Master MasterBox MB320L ARGB Micro-ATX | 15% off
This good-looking case has plenty going for it, including mesh intakes that span each side of the front panel to provide additional airflow to the system, two pre-installed 120 millimeter ARGB fans that can be managed by the motherboard, tempered glass, and support for even a custom water-cooling loop. Again, although it's a Micro-ATX case you can fit an ATX motherboard inside.
Best motherboard deals
The motherboard is the heart of your PC, connecting every component. This is one of the most important parts of the PC building puzzle, and it's easy to mess things up if you choose the wrong one. If you already have a CPU at the ready, choose a motherboard that supports it. If not, go with whichever supports the CPU you plan on purchasing.
ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi)
ASUS TUF X570-Plus motherboard is excellent since it's rocking the latest X570 chipset, PCIe 4.0 support, good VRM, excellent power delivery, supports overclocking, dual M.2 slots, and other handy features.
ASUS TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS (Wi-Fi) | $20 off at Newegg
This motherboard may not be as great as X570 boards, but it comes with PCIe 4.0 support, can work with Ryzen 5000 processors, has excellent power delivery for the price, M.2 slots, HDMI 2.1, and even comes with a 2.5Gb LAN port.
MSI MPG Z390 GAMING EDGE AC | $40 off at Newegg
The MSI MPG Z390 Gaming EDGE AC may be an older motherboard, but if you want to use an 8th or 9th Gen Intel processor, this is a stellar board to use for your next PC build. It has solid VRMs, M.2 slots, and other notable highlights.
MSI MEG Z490 ACE | $60 off at Newegg

Best CPU deals
The CPU is what handles all the processing your operating system tasks the PC with. It's what determines if you'll be able to run games and more demanding software smoothly. The older or less capable the CPU, the more performance restrictions will be put on your PC. It's best to spend as much as you can here to save upgrading sooner rather than later. You'll need to match the CPU with the motherboard.
Newer Intel Core processors (10th Gen) will work with 400 series Intel motherboards. Previous 8th and 9th Gen processors will work with 300 series Intel motherboards. AMD Ryzen 3000 series and the majority of Ryzen 5000 processors will work both 400 and 500 series AMD motherboards.
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X | $35 off at Newegg
This third-gen Ryzen processor is an 8 core beast with 16 threads on offer for smooth gaming and productivity. It's not the latest and greatest from AMD but will work fine in 400 and 500 AMD motherboards. It has a whopping 32MB of cache and a thermal rating of just 65W.
Intel Core i7-10700KF | $71 off at Amazon
Clocked at 3.8GHz, this 8 cores and 16 thread processor is a monster for gaming and productivity. It requires a newer LGA 1200 motherboard, but you will be able to enjoy a boost speed of up to 5.1GHz if you match this CPU with equally brilliant cooling.
Best GPU deals
The GPU is the most important component of PC gaming. Without one, you're left with whatever comes with the CPU — and not every CPU comes with integrated graphics processing. Like the CPU, spend what you can here to make sure you have the best available to your budget. And be sure to have a look at our dedicated roundup of the best Black Friday graphics card deals for more options.
MSI Mech RX 5700 XT | $20 off
MSI's Mech version of the RX 5700 XT has a dual-fan design and sharp silver shroud. No matter what, it's a great way to crush 1440p gaming and dabble with 4K. It's currently $20 off at Best Buy, and it includes a free copy of both Godfall and World of Warcraft: Shadowlands.
PowerColor RED DRAGON Radeon RX 570 | $10 off
PowerColor's RED DRAGON Radeon RX 570 may not be the latest and great from AMD, but it'll still be able to play a whole host of PC games at 1080p on high settings. If you want a good budget GPU to get you started, this is a solid deal.
Best RAM deals
RAM is what's used by the system to store data for quicker access. Even the fastest SSDs aren't as speedy as RAM modules, which are positioned right next to the CPU and have amazing levels of bandwidth. 8GB is recommended as the minimum for Windows 10 and Linux, though we'd recommend 16GB if you plan to play games. Your CPU will have a maximum speed it can support. Most modern CPUs work well with 3200MHz DDR4 modules.

Any chance to get one of these with some savings is a chance worth taking.
Seagate FireCuda PCIe 4.0 1TB | $180 at Amazon
PCIe 4.0 SSDs are still only relevant to Ryzen-based PCs but considering Ryzen is the best platform to build a new rig on, you'd be foolish not to take advantage. They're a little pricier than PCIe 3.0 drives, but the performance is leaps and bounds better than anything you've ever seen. So when there's a deal to be had, don't miss out.
SK Hynix Gold S31 | $46 at Amazon

Best PSU deals
The power supply unit (or PSU for short) is the most important part of the PC. It's what delivers stable power to all your components, converting alternating current (AC) to regulated direct current (DC) in the process. If you buy a cheap PSU from an unknown brand, you run the risk of damaging your components.
