I genuinely didn't expect to be here in late October telling you about UK Black Friday deals, but here we are. Fortunately, if you're a PC gamer or simply looking to dive into the PC gaming ecosystem, you've come at the right time; to give you a good idea of the deals available, the Stormforce MX360 RTX 5060 gaming PC is currently £799 (previously £899) on Very UK, making it one of the most affordable entries into PC gaming you can find.

Taking it a step further, the PCSpecialist Fusion 20 RTX 3050 gaming PC is now available for a very affordable £599 (previously £749), which is bundled with a PCSpecialist 1080p 100Hz monitor, a gaming headset, alongside a mouse and keyboard. Surprising right?

Today's best early Black Friday gaming PC deals on Very UK

PCSpecialist Fusion 20 RTX 3050 Bundle

PCSpecialist Fusion 20 RTX 3050 Bundle: was £749 now £599 at very.co.uk

Powered by Nvidia's RTX 3050 GPU and AMD's Ryzen 5 5500 CPU, this is one of the easiest and most affordable gateways into PC gaming for newcomers. While the RTX 3050's 6GB of VRAM isn't desirable for modern-day games, it's still capable of decent frame rates at a 1080p resolution, and can even run at 60fps in titles like Cyberpunk 2077 on high graphics settings using DLSS 4. This bundle is more than worth it, especially as a stepping stone for a future GPU upgrade

With the RTX 5060 at your disposal, 1080p gaming will be a breeze with the Stormforce MX360 gaming PC. Again, 8GB of VRAM isn't preferred with increasing hardware demands from modern games, but with DLSS 4 and its Multi Frame Generation model, there isn't much to complain about, especially at the £799 sale price.

CyberPower PC Ark RTX 5060: was £999 now £899 at very.co.uk

If you're willing to spend slightly more for a CyberPower RTX 5060 gaming PC with a stronger CPU, then this fits the bill. The Intel Core i5-14400F is a 10-core and 16-thread processor, ready to fuel your multitasking activities, and also give the Nvidia GPU the power required to provide great performance at 1080p or possibly 1440p.

PCSpecialist Fusion 40 RTX 5060 Ti
Save 11% (£150)
PCSpecialist Fusion 40 RTX 5060 Ti: was £1,399 now £1,249 at very.co.uk

Taking it a step up from the RTX 5060 gaming PCs, is the PCSpecialist Fusion 40 using Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti. This is a GPU that utilizes 16GB of VRAM, ensuring gaming at 1440p is possible, especially with the help of DLSS 4's Super Resolution and Multi Frame Generation. For around the same price as some of the new handheld gaming PCs from Asus, Lenovo, and MSI, you can gain great performance results at £1,249.

PCSpecialist Fusion 50 RX 9070 XT
Save 18% (£300)
PCSpecialist Fusion 50 RX 9070 XT: was £1,699 now £1,399 at very.co.uk

Perhaps the most generous deal here is the PCSpecialist Fusion 50, powered by AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU. It's a GPU that easily trumps the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti gaming PC offerings, as 4K gaming is possible at frame rates over 60fps. With £300 off, this is a no-brainer deal that I would take if I had to upgrade.

The easiest choice here, based on pricing, would obviously be the PCSpecialist Fusion 20 RTX 3050 Bundle, but if you want the best performance and you're willing to spend a bit more without going over the £1,500 price region, then the PCSpecialist Fusion 50 RX 9070 XT is the one to opt for.

It's the most powerful gaming PC on the list of those I've highlighted on sale, giving you the extra edge required to game at much higher resolutions over 1080p. It's using a 4K-capable GPU, comes with 1TB of storage space, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a Ryzen 7 AM5 processor, so this would be the ideal entry for anybody considering a gaming PC.

There's bound to be more impressive deals between now and Black Friday (and Cyber Monday), so keep your eyes peeled!
