Cyber Monday PC components deals: what you need to know

On previous Cyber Mondays, a number of retailers cut the prices of their PC components, most noticeably Amazon and eBay. Specialist component websites like Overclockers, Scan and Ebuyer also offer some brilliant component deals on Black Friday.

This makes Black Friday and Cyber Mondays possibly the best time to buy components to upgrade your PCs. Not only do websites cut their prices, but because they are online stores, you can quickly compare prices and specifications from a range of stores easily, helping you make the best purchasing decisions.

Also, it's worth noting that big component brands like Intel, AMD and Nvidia have all recently released new generations of their components, which means last year's models could see more than decent Cyber Mondays deals.

However, buying PC components can be more complex than other products, especially in a fast-paced and hectic day like Black Friday or Cyber Mondays, where the pressure is on to find the best deals. So, before the day itself, do a bit of research into what components you're after, and make sure you know what is compatible with your setup.

Best PC component deals predictions for Cyber Monday 2018

We've been covering Black Friday for long enough now that we can come up with some decent predictions for Black Friday 2018, and considering what the component market is like these days, we think we've got a good guess on the kind of deals you'll be seeing this year.

We think there's likely to be some great Black Friday deals on Nvidia and AMD graphics cards. Last year's Black Friday was in the midst of the crypto-currency craze, which meant graphics cards were all but sold out, due to people buying them up to mine cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

While cryptocurrency mining is still popular, it isn't as crazy as last year, and with graphics card manufacturers increasing production to meet demand, there shouldn't be any GPU shortages. The good news is that this means there are more likely to be deals!

As we mentioned earlier, Nvidia recently launched its newest generation of graphics cards, the RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080 and RTX 2070. While it's highly unlikely that these new GPUs will get discounts on Black Friday, it does mean we'll likely see the older generation - which are still very impressive graphics cards - get price cuts.

So, if you fancy a GTX 1080, GTX 1080 Ti, GTX 1070 or GTX 1060, it may be worth holding off until Black Friday to see what kind of deals you can get.

It's the same for processor deals, at least for AMD. It's second generation Ryzen and Threadripper CPUs are now out, which means we may see some great Black Friday deals on last year's offerings.

As for Intel, things are a little bit different. While it has recently launched its 9th generation of Core processors, it has also experienced stock shortages due to its 14nm process. This might mean that older Intel CPUs are harder to get hold of, so we may not see quite as many Black Friday deals for them. Let's hope we're wrong on that count.

Previous Black Fridays have also brought price cuts to other components such as motherboards, RAM, hard drives and PC cases, and we expect Black Friday 2018 to be no different.
