Depending on the RAM kit you want, buying it right now might be too costly to justify, an unfortunate trend that my colleague Sean Hollister recently pointed out. You can either wait out this period of surge pricing, or if you’re jumping into PCs for the first time and want to play games at 1080p, get a nice deal on a prebuilt gaming PC that has some decent specs for the price.RelatedThe best Black Friday deals you can still shopThere’s still time to grab a PS5 or PS5 Pro for $100 off for Black FridayWe found 40 surprisingly good Black Friday deals for $30 or lessThe builders iBuyPower has a couple of machines selling at a discount, including its Element SE, which is down to $999 ($300 off) at Walmart.

During Black Friday 2025, iBuyPower is offering a pre-built gaming PC for $999 that includes a substantial amount of hardware suitable for 1080p gaming. This deal incorporates 32GB of DDR5 RAM clocked at 5,200MHz, alongside a Ryzen 7 8700F processor and an Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti GPU with 8GB of VRAM. The system also features a 1TB SSD, all housed within a tri-panel tempered glass case. According to Cameron Faulkner, editor for The Verge’s commerce section, this represents a viable option for first-time PC buyers seeking a system capable of running games at 1080p. However, Faulkner notes that component prices have surged, making individual purchases considerably more expensive. He points out that colleague Sean Hollister had previously observed this trend. iBuyPower offers two variations of this PC; one utilizing the AMD Ryzen 7 8700F and the other swapping the processor for the Intel Core i5 14400F while halving the RAM to 16GB. Both configurations ship in similar cases with 600W 80 Plus Gold power supplies. The iBuyPower Element SE, which includes the Ryzen 7 8700F, is currently available at Walmart for $780 and at Best Buy for $780 (with the RTX 5060 Ti). The Intel Core i5 14400F version is listed at $779.99 at Best Buy, representing a $260 discount.
