Fantastic Black Friday PC Hardware Deals: Save Big On CPUs, Motherboards, Monitors And More
Although buying a new GPU is still incredibly difficult, now might be a good time take a look at what else can be upgraded in your system. We have some deals on CPUs, motherboards, monitors, power supplies, and memory. We have already covered SSD storage deals yesterday, so let's dive into these other PC hardware bargains.
Black Friday CPU Deals
We reviewed Intel's 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs recently, and were quite impressed with the performance. The P-cores (Golden Cove) are very fast for both gaming and productivity while the E-cores (Gracemont) help quite a bit with multitasking. If you are looking to upgrade your motherboard and CPU, Intel's 12th Gen processors are something you should strongly consider. However, as they've just come out don't expect to see deep discounts as you would with AMD's latest-generation processors (which still pack a punch, by the way).
Intel 12th Gen Processors
- Intel Core i9 12900KF $679.99
- Intel Core i7 12700K $419 (Originally $496.25)
- Intel Core i5 12600K $299 (Originally $342.50)
AMD Ryzen 5th Gen Processors
- Ryzen 9 5950X $718 (Originally $799)
- Ryzen 9 5900X $479 (Originally $549)
- Ryzen 7 5800X $340 (Originally $449)
- Ryzen 5 5600G $238.97 (Originally $259)
Black Friday Motherboard Deals
For motherboards you want to make sure they're compatible with the CPU you are buying. For AMD, B550 and X570 motherboards will work with Ryzen 5000 series CPUs. Some X470 and B450 motherboards will work as well but would require BIOS/UEFI updates in order to function. For Intel 12th gen CPUs you'll need a Z690 motherboard as Z590 user an older, incompatible socket.
AMD AM4 Motherboards
- ASUS B450M-A II $63 (Originally $80)
- Gigabyte Aorus PRO P $109 (Originally $149)
- ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus WIFI 6 $154 (Originally $169)

Intel Motherboards
Unfortunately at this time since Z690 motherboards just came out there are no special sales. However, we can mention some of the more budget friendly boards as well as older boards that are compatible with 11th Gen Intel Rocket Lake CPUs as well.
We would also recommend staying away from DDR5 motherboards since at this time DDR5 is out of stock everywhere (and being scalped for ridiculous prices on eBay).
- MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Edge WiFi $169 (Originally $229) - Works with 10th and 11th Gen CPUs
- Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Elite $164 (Originally $219) - Works with 10th and 11th Gen CPUs
