Overclockers UK Black Friday Sale is Now Live

It seems that Black Friday has officially started early for Overclockers UK, as you can't move for epic deals on all things PC gaming. From ridiculous Radeon and NVidia-powered prebuilt gaming PC and Graphics Card discounts to every kind of monitor you'll possibly want to choose from, there's a deal to be had for everyone here.

I'll be keeping this article updated throughout Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but in all honesty the deals are already here. I'm not going to waste any time, let's get straight into it:

Nvidia is the cream of the crop for cutting edge GPU tech, with anything over a RTX 5070 being worth your time over Radeon 9070 XT. You're getting the latest and greatest GDDR7 VRAM-powered DLSS 4 Blackwell architecture, which is the best artificial frame generation tech you can use right now. It just all depends on your budget, and for solid mid-range cards I'd go for a Radeon RX 9070 XT every day of the week.

AMD Radeon cards are great mid-range cards, with the best one being a Radeon RX 9070XT. If you want to spend less but get the best performance for the price point, this is a great option. If you want more performance, better AI Frame generation/upscalling and GPUs with GDDR7 and better ray tracing support, Nvidia is your port of call (For a premium).

Intel ARC GPUs are actually pretty sound for budget builds, aiming at the low end to mid-range market. If you're building your kid a cheap gaming PC, this is a solid choice.

Let's kick off with my budget pick from the RTX 5000 series prebuilt gaming PCs on offer, OcUK Gaming Mach 1.1. It rocks a AMD Ryzen 5600 CPU, RTX 5600, 16GB DDR4 RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. All of that for £759.95, currently £40 off, isn't a bad deal at all. You're not going to get ray tracing, high settings and ridiculous frame rates, but this is a solid 1080p gaming setup for most titles. You've also got the benefit of DLSS4 frame generation and image upscalling to push this budget rig way past what it's physically capable of.

If you're looking for a mid-range beast, it's OcUK again with their Mach 5G rig. It has a far wmore capable 7600X3D and a GeForce 5070Ti 16GB GPU slapped in there for good measure. RAM is 32GB DDR5 @ 6000MHz with an 750W 80 Plus Gold PSU. It's £99.95 off and a solid performer for 1440p, at a push some 4K gaming but at sub-60FPS. This will dominate any game at 1440p with ray tracing thrown in, especially if you plan on taking advantage of DLSS4. Plus you'll have an upgraded 2TB NVMe SSD to store your backlog on.

For a high-spec 4K gaming monster, i'd go with the OcUK Gaming Beryllium Ore, featuring a stunning RTX 5080 with 16GB of GDDR7 and the powerhouse that is the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU. RAM and SSD is the same as my mid-range pick, but the GPU and CPU upgrade alone is going to take you into a very comfortable 4K Ray Tracing landscape with solid frame rates to boot. The Core Ultra 9 285K will be liquid cooled also thanks to the Tryx Panorama SE 360 cooling unit, featuring a 3-fan radiator. It's £3,499.99, so certainly a high-end setup price, but it's £300 off right now and you get a choice of two free games to go with it, including the brand new Battlefield 6.

There's not much choice when it comes to AMD Radeon RX prebuilt gaming PC, but the best GPU is out in force with this lineup, the 9070XT. Long story short, paying out the extra £100 on the Ryzen 7 7800X3D build is well worth the extra gains. You're going to see a massive 36% boost in 64-core speed, and is overall a much more popular CPU out of the two. You're also getting a bit more headroom with your power supply unit at 850W vs 750W. I'm not saying the Ryzen 5 7600X3D is a bad CPU, far from it, but if you're already spending this kind of money on a prebuilt gaming PC, an extra £100 isn't a dealbreaker when it's also £100 off. Winner.

In terms of what you can expect from the 9070 XT, it's a solid 1440p GPU and perfect for mid-range build and a spot of 4K gaming. I run a 9070XT and the sweet spot is deffinatley 1440p if only for the higher frame rates. I can push it to 4K output, but i'm hitting around 50/60 FPS.

So for a budget Nvidia powered gaming laptop, go for Acewr Nitro V 15 with an RTX 5060. It's rocking 16GB DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD, which is a solid setup for the price point, which is a Black Friday deal at £899.99 (£150 off). It also has a 165Hz FHD screen, which translates to this being a fantastic 1080p high FPS machine.

If we're talking mid-range, Acer Predator with a RTX 5070Ti stuffed in with 32GB DDR5 RAM is a cracking pick. It's one of the bigger Black Friday deals on Overclockers right now with £300 off and a pick of one of four free premium games from Intel. It has a brilliant 3ms response time, 240Hz 1600p panel, so this is going to be a lovely 1440p gaming machine that can push those 150+ frames per seconds highs. It's also packing a Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, which is over 30% faster than a Ryzen 7 7800X3D on all fronts.

The best deal in this lineup is also the highest spec one, and no, it's not the £3,799.99 Legion 7i Pro. Bearing in mind my top high-spec pick has pretty much the same specifications with an extra 60Hz refresh rate and sacrificing an OLED screen, OcUK Pinnacle is £2,699.99. That's £1,100 saved on brand tax. You'll get a Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 with 24GB GDDR7 VRAM, 64GB DDR RAM, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, 80Wh battery and a WQXGA 2560 x 1600 300Hz 16-inch screen. If that's not an absolute steal I don't know what is.

OK, so I made a section for ultrawide monitors below, so we're going to ignore that for a second whilst I tell you about my favourite pick from Overclockers 1440p monitor Black Friday deals. AOC Agons 34-inch 3440x1400 Ultrawide is OLED, curved, has 175Hz refresh rate, 0.03 ms response time and support for VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400. It's a beast and down from £669.95 to £488.99, that's a solid £180.96 saved.

In all honesty all of these monitors are good deals, it just depends on how fast and premium you'd like your 1440p screen to be.

Having used a MSI Ultrawide 1440p monitor for some time now, i'll all in with their value for money and quality gear, so the best deal for a 4K monitor for me personally is MSI 32" MPG 321URX for £698.99. It's a QD-OLED screen rocking a 3840x2160 widescreen 4K aspect ratio, 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03MS response time, Freesync Premium Pro and is £150.96 cheaper than the well-recieved LG UltraGear 32GS95UV. By the way, LGs alternative is exactly the same spec.

Now we're in the UltraWide realm proper, I'm going to go with MSI MPG 491CQPX for £898.99. If you're going to get an ultrawide screen over a standard 1440p monitor, you mightaswell go all in. Plus competitors like LGs alternative come in with similar specs and a smaller screen. This is 49-inches of 240Hz, 0.03 ms response time, curved OLED epicness.
