The last big shopping event of the season is looming over the horizon and it'll soon be stampeding towards us. We're talking Black Friday of course, and it's always a good time of year for PC gamers to get their hands on new gear.

It's also one of the best times of the year to look for those big-ticket items, and there are sure to be deals to be had on today's best gaming desktop PCs.

The even better news is that retailers aren't waiting for Black Friday to actually begin. There are already early deals being seeded, and some retailers, such as Best Buy, have price guarantees in place already so you can be sure you're going to pay the best price possible. We'll be tracking all of the deals as we get closer to Black Friday so you'll always know what to buy.
