Black Friday isn’t just about finding the best deals on PC hardware. There are also deals on games to be had!
Here are our favorite Black Friday PC game deals from all around the internet.
Yes, you’re reading correctly. Amazon has continued its tradition of starting Black Friday earlier and earlier each year. You did not just wake from a cryogenic tube.
Every year, we round up the best Black Friday deals on PC hardware. Expect these posts every day for the USA and UK, whether you want them or not.
ARK: Survival Evolved is a game that bends the most impressive gaming PCs to its will. It is essentially impossible for even the most powerful consumer-grade PC to run the game at a smooth 60 FPS at 4K resolution. This is your warning: Your PC probably cannot run this game on full settings.
But for those brave souls who wish to forego the warnings and attempt to play ARK, we now have a guide for you: Building the Best PC for ARK: Survival Evolved.
Battlefield 1 will be releasing on PC Oct. 21st. And with great visual quality comes semi-great hardware demands.

However, even if you wait for the ultimate sale, you can’t guarantee that the exact things you want will get discounts.
Virtual reality is the next frontier of gaming, and PCs are the leading platform for experiencing VR. But VR headsets also require serious computing power to reach their full potential. In this video, we provide a basic understanding of the PC hardware demands for gaming in virtual reality:
Prices on Amazon for the RX 480. We do not recommend buying the RX 480 at these prices.
The RX 480’s launch has been met with a large amount of hype. Finally, a powerful, VR-capable graphics card is available for a mid-range price, and that has people excited — us included.
As a result, however, supplies have not been able to keep up with demand, and both the 4GB ($199) and 8GB ($229) models of the RX 480 have rapidly sold out through retailers such as Newegg.
Michael’s battlestation, complete with audio recording gear.
Logical Increments reader Michael recently put together a brand new video editing and gaming behemoth, which he dubbed the TuffBox. It includes newly released high-end components, with the GTX 1080 and Intel i7-6900K taking starring roles.
He wrote up his build story on PCPartPicker and gave us permission to repost on our blog. So, take it away, Michael.
