I enjoy hunting for deals during Black Friday. I specifically like poking around for solid PC parts that I can combine for high-quality-but-affordable gaming PCs. I love it so much that I’ve sat down every year since 2016 to write up my findings—and over the last nine years,

If you’re alright with stepping down to the RTX 5060, halving the RAM, and swapping out the AMD processor for the similarly powerful Intel Core i5 14400F, Best Buy ’s version of the Element SE is currently on sale for an all-time low $779.99 ($260 off). It ships in the same case, with the same 600W 80 Plus Gold power supply, too.

The Black Friday sales are here, and honestly have been since last week.

It runs on an AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 6850H processor alongside 32GB of DDR5 RAM, which pretty much means it’s a rocket that’ll quickly and efficiently help you handle all the tasks you need done. Throw in the 2TB SSD and you have an insane amount of storage space for your files at this price.
