I’m sure everyone’s feeling a bit of Black Friday fatigue by now (trust me, I want this all to be over just as much as you do), but in the interests of those after that one, last, final deal to end all deals, I present to you our newly refreshed Black Friday and Cyber Monday PC gaming deals hub. I’ve cleared away all the deals that have been swept into oblivion by the almighty wave of discount-grabbers, leaving you with the best of the best PC gaming deals that are still available. Whether you’re after a new graphics card, monitor, SSD, gaming headset or even a new CPU, mouse and keyboard, your deals herald will provide.

A lot of the best Black Friday gaming mouse and keyboard deals may have already been and gone now, but with fresh deals fest Cyber Monday just around the corner, you can be sure there will be plenty more savings to be had over the next 24 hours. Indeed, there have even been a couple of new Black Friday deals cropping up today to take the place of the ones that have passed us by, giving you ample time to stock up on today’s [cms-block] deals and all the [cms-block] deals taking place this very second.

With the sound of the Black Friday deals bell fading into the distance, a new deals clanger is slowly taking its place. That’s right, it’s very nearly almost Cyber Monday time, the final gong of the pre-Christmas sales frenzy before we do it all over again over the New Year. Before we get there, though, there are still plenty of the best Black Friday gaming headset deals available at the moment, making it a perfect time to pick up one of our [cms-block]s for less than normal. A couple of headsets have since gone out of stock, but all the prices below are present and correct at time of writing, so hopefully there should still be something for everyone here, regardless of whether you’re after a cheap wired job or a fancy pants wireless one. Here are all the best Black Friday gaming headset deals going right now.

As the sun continues to set on this year’s Black Friday deals jamboree, we now turn our attention to Cyber Monday and all the best graphics card deals therein. To be honest, most of them are exactly the same as before, but stock levels on certain cards are now running quite low, so the time to get one with a big fat juicy discount stick on it is closing fast. As such, you’ll probably notice a few gaps in my Black Friday and Cyber Monday graphics card deals list below, as prices for the cards in question have now all gone back up to normal levels. Still, most of today’s [cms-block]s can still be picked up with some hefty savings attached to them, so here are all the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday raphics card deals still going on.

This year’s Black Friday might be drawing to a close, but there are still plenty of brilliant SSD deals to be had right now, including a couple of SSDs that are actually cheaper now than they were on Black Friday itself. How very cheeky. Only by a couple of quid in most cases, but hey, a deal’s a deal. If you haven’t yet taken the plunge on bagging one of today’s [cms-block]s on the cheap, I doubt prices will get much better than this. So, why not nab yourself a bargain with the Black Friday and Cyber Monday SSD deals available.

After months of build-up, this year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals bonanza is almost over. This time tomorrow, a lot of the best monitors deals will be winding down to go an hibernate for a bit, but there are still a couple of great monitor deals to be had if you haven’t quite got round to it yet. I’ve cleared away all the deals that have either gone or no longer in stock, leaving you with the cream of the remaining crop. If you’ve been looking to upgrade your monitor to one of the screens on our bestest [cms-block] list, you better act fast before they’re gone.

Sundays are for moving. Actually at this point I’ll already be blinking in the Brighton sun, acclimatising to southern life. And maybe reading the best writing about video games from the past week.

I love this one. As Patrick Klepek reports for Waypoint, Spelunky scientists recently made a breakthrough that s revolutionised the high-score scene. Also, Spelunky scientists are a thing. This is a great writer, telling a fantastic story.

Space, man. Chris Roberts always wanted you to go into space, man. (Intergalactic Christ.) That’s why the Wing Commander designer’s shiny new space sim Star Citizen has launched a free trial week, inviting all and sundry to poke around and kick the tyres, seeing what they’ve done with six years of crowdfunding. These days, that includes flying spaceships, running spacemissions, spacemining, pootling around a planet with a big ol’ city, and doing a little first-person face-shooting. The trial will run until Friday the 30th, so you’ve a while to download it all.

I’m adrift in time, tossed on waves of sales which hide landmarks and leave me lost as to when it is. I had thought to blurb this intro with something about Bonfire Night coming but… that has already happened. I mean, it is still coming, but not for another 49 weeks. I used to be able to sail this timesea based on a few distinct sales but now I am lost.

What are you playing this weekend? Here’s what we’re clicking on!

Black Friday is a brilliant time for upgrading your PC on the cheap, but arguably it’s an even better time for first-time PC builders looking to assemble all the necessary parts for the lowest price possible. Now I’ve already cribbed together a PC for UK builders that can play Plunkbat and Battlefield V on max settings at 1080p for under 600, but for US builders I thought I’d try something a little bit different – the best budget PC you can build from Black Friday deals that’s just a generally good 1080p machine.

So, if you’re looking to build a PC that will play games for the least amount of money, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s what you can get for just $588.
