Cyber Monday is over, but there are still some computer hardware deals to be found If you missed the opportunity to get the tech you need or wanted it might still be on sale.
But not every sale is really a bargain. Do you really want to spend $3,899 on an RTX 4090 card? Sure, it's the fastest GPU currently on the market, but it's also usually in the $1,800 range and it's about to be replaced by an RTX 5090 / 5080 within the next couple of months. How about a Cyber Monday deal on a mushy, non-mechanical keyboard when you can get a mechanical one for around the same price?
To help you find computer hardware deals that you can really sink your teeth into, we're highlighting a few of our favorites -- those that you can still get -- below.

Grab one of the best (and brightest) mics for just $85
Speaking of great mics, you can still grab HyperX's fantastic QuadCast S on sale for just $85 at HyperX's website if you use code FLASH15 to get an extra 15% discount. This standalone USB microphone features four selectable polar patterns, a headphone jack for direct, zero-latency monitoring, and an awesome tap-to-mute feature, plus lots of pretty lighting (too much, some might argue).
The original HyperX QuadCast is also on sale, for $83, but it's not part of the extra 15% off deal. Both mics record audio at 16-bit / 48 kHz, offer cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional, and stereo polar patterns, and connect to your PC via USB.

Up your streaming game for just $43.49
The easiest way to up your streaming game, whether it's for Twitch or work meetings or chatting with friends and family, is to invest in a standalone USB microphone. Logitech's Yeti Orb is our favorite budget-friendly option, because it sounds great and retails for just $59.99 — and right now it's 28% off at Amazon, coming in at just $43 (was $59).
The Yeti Orb is a simple, ball-shaped condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern (great for one voice), and an easy-to-use, plug-and-play design. It comes with its own sturdy tripod stand and can be mounted at two different angles depending on where you want to position it (it can also be mounted on a boom arm or third-party stand — both attachments are standard). It connects to your PC via USB-C and features a customizable light-up logo with a hood so you can see the color even if it's facing away from you.
This is a great-sounding plug-and-play mic that produces warm, full vocals and picks up your voice even if it's not right next to your mouth. It records audio at 24-bit / 48 kHz and while it doesn't do the best job of keeping background noise at bay on its own, you can use Logitech's Blue Vo!ce software to adjust your vocals and turn on noise cancelation.

Future-proof your PC with Wi-Fi 7 for just $59 (40% off)
Sure, Wi-Fi 7 is just starting to gain traction. But even if you don't have a Wi-Fi 7 router yet, if you're looking to upgrade your PC's wireless connectivity anyway, you might as well future-proof your purchase -- especially when you can do so with the WiFi 7 BE9300 PCIe expansion card from TP-Link at its all-time low price of just $59.99.
This is a PCIe expansion card, so it's for desktops only. USB-based Wi-Fi adapters currently top out at Wi-Fi 6E (and this 6E USB adapter from TP-Link is also on sale for $49). But for desktop users with a spare PCIe slot, this card promises speeds up to 5750 Mbps on the faster 6 GHz band, and multiple features to reduce lag.
Of course, you'll also need a Wi-Fi 7 router to take advantage of all these features but the card is of course also backward compatible with older Wi-Fi routers. Just note that this adapter doesn't support Windows 10. But then again, Microsoft won't be supporting Windows 10 for much longer anyway.
You can still grab this glass mouse pad at an incredible 50% discount
If you've been thinking of switching to a glass mouse pad, this is your sign — you can now grab the Skypad Glass 3.0 mouse pad in XL (400 x 500 mm) for just $54.50 at Amazon, which is 50% off the retail price of $109.
The Skypad Glass 3.0 mouse pad features a micro-etched glass surface that works with most modern optical sensors and is smooth and ultra low-friction for a speedy but precise gaming experience. It's also easy to clean — just a simple slab of glass — so it's a great way to tidy up your desk (let's face it, regular mouse pads — even the hybrid hard surface ones — get pretty unsanitary pretty quickly).

This sale will literally blow you away
If you build PCs or just have a desktop PC, you know that it gets full of dust after awhile. That's why so many people buy canned air to blow the dust out. But canned air gets used up after a while and it's terrible for the environment.
A better choice -- and a great gift -- is the KiCA Jet Fan 2, a rechargeable blower you can use to remove dust from any surface, including the inside of your PC. It's so powerful that -- supposedly -- you can even use it to blow light snow off of a car.
The one caution we have here is that fast-moving air can generate static electricity so don't aim it directly at your PC. Instead shoot it at the empty areas of your case and hold (or tape) your case fan blades still so they don't rotate faster than they are designed to go if you blow it on them. The KiCA Jet Fan 2 is now just $56, reduced from $89.
Logitech's pretty aurora collection is finally worth buying
Logitech's white and pastel Aurora collection is pretty, comfortable, and lightweight, but it's also pretty expensive — it just wasn't worth the premium price when it first came out two years ago. But I still like it a lot — it's got a great aesthetic (and one that's different from your typical gamer aesthetic, without being too... overly pink), and the peripherals have held up in the past two years I've been using them.
And now the headset and keyboard are finally on enough of a sale that it's worth taking a look at the collection.
The Logitech G735 is a wireless over-ear headset with a white padded leatherette headband and interchangeable leatherette earpads and a detachable boom microphone. It features 40mm dynamic drivers with a frequency response range of 20 - 20,000 Hz (the standard range for human hearing) and connects to your PC via 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, or wired connection. It also offers simultaneous wireless connectivity, meaning you can mix the audio from both your PC and a Bluetooth device (such as your phone) without having to switch between the two.
The G715 Wireless is a wireless TKL keyboard that comes with clicky, tactile, or linear switches, interchangeable faceplates, and a whimsical cloud wrist rest that's surprisingly comfortable. It features dedicated media keys and a media roller, and it's a pretty durable keyboard, if a bit hollow-sounding. Both the headset and the keyboard feature pretty pink and blue pastel lighting effects that add to the overall aesthetic (these are, of course, customizable and can be changed to whatever you desire).

If you really want an RTX 4090, this is the way to get it
With the RTX 5090 and 5080 cards likely to arrive in January and with prices on the current-gen skyrocketing, this is a terrible time to buy an RTX 4090 card. We've seen the cards going for well above MSRP and often closer to $2,300 or even $3,700.
However, if you want a desktop with top-of-the-line graphics, you can get good value for the money by purchasing this Alienware Aurora R16 desktop that has an RTX 4090 inside. For $3,700, you get flagship specs to surround the 4090, including a Core i9-14900KF CPU, a 4TB SSD, a 1,000-watt PSU and 64GB of RAM.
RTX 4070 for just $499
If you want a mid-range card that's capable of really strong 1080p and solid 2K gaming, Nvidia's RTX 4070 fits the bill. Now, you can get a dual-fan Zotac RTX 4070 card for just $499, which is a really great deal.
You can build a 1080p Gaming Rig for $700
With all of the sales on CPUs, GPUs and storage, you can easily build a gaming PC that's capable of 1080p gaming for just around $700. In fact, here's a parts list we put together to do just that.
| Component | Name | Price |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 7 5700 | $129 |
| Cooler | AMD Wraith Spire | Included |
| Motherboard | MSI B550 Gaming Gen 3 | $99 |
| GPU | ASRock Challenger Arc A770 16GB | $229 |
| RAM | Crucial Pro RAM 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 | $47 |
| PSU | Thermaltake Toughpower GX2 80+ Gold (600W) | $49 |
| Case | NZXT H5 Flow | $59 |
| SSD | MSI Spatium M482 (2TB) | $89 |
| Total | Row 8 - Cell 1 | $701 |
The real key to this list is the Intel Arc A770 GPU, which goes for just $229 and yet has enough power to get through our 1080p Ultra gaming tests with a full 76.9 fps.
That's a lot of performance for very little money.
2TB of high-speed SSD for only $89? That'll do.
Probably the best 2TB SSD deal you'll find today is MSI's Spatium M482 2TB for just $89. It uses a combination of the Phison E27T controller and Kioxia TLC NAND to deliver sequential reads and writes of 7,300 and 6,400 MB/s respectively. That's plenty of performance for a drive this cheap.
If you're building a PC, you need a power supply for it and, if possible, you want one that's 80+ Gold certified for power efficiency. And it has to be from a name brand. In general, if you're building a budget system with a budget GPU, you need 600 to 650W of power. A mid-range system can get by with 750W and a high-end system should have 850W or more.
Fortunately, there are a lot of PSU deals right now. Here are a few of our favorites.
AMD's gaming-specialized Ryzen 7 5700X3D is the best upgrade for AM4 systems and it's now cheaper than ever
If you're looking to upgrade an AM4 system focused on gaming, you won't find a faster gaming CPU than the Ryzen 7 5700X3D — it's the fastest gaming chip in the ~$200 price range, bar none. For Black Friday, you can find this surprisingly potent chip for $196, well below its $250 MSRP.
The Ryzen 7 5700X3D replaces the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which was slightly faster but is no longer available. The 5700X3D has always been the far better deal, though: The 5700X3D has the same number of cores for 35% less cash while delivering 91% of the gaming performance of the expensive 5800X3D, a win for value gamers that brings AMD's vaunted game-boosting 3D V-Cache tech to a new lower price point.
As you can see below, this chip handily beats all comers in gaming at its price range, and it drops right into existing socket AM4 motherboards dating back to the 300 series, which debuted in 2017. Thus, it makes a great high-performance drop-in upgrade for Ryzen owners on the AM4 platform. You also won't have to worry about buying new RAM or other additives if upgrading. However, the chip doesn't support the newer PCIe 5.0 or DDR5 interfaces.
Like all of AMD's gaming-optimized X3D chips, the Zen 3-powered 5700X3D doesn't deliver as much horsepower in heavy productivity applications as standard CPUs. However, with eight cores and 16 threads operating at a 3.0 GHz base and 4.1 GHz boost, there's plenty of gas in the tank for its low price point. In our album above, you can see how it fared in single- and multi-threaded workloads.
