PC gaming on a budget is possible thanks to these Black Friday deals

Let's face it, PC gaming can seem intimidating. The hardware is generally expensive and complicated and for someone just looking to get into PC gaming, or if you want to buy someone a gaming PC as a gift but don't have a whole lot of money, you might think that even the best Black Friday PC gaming deal will be out of reach.

You'd be wrong though, since the best budget gaming PCs often have the best Black Friday deals going, like this HP Pavilion gaming PC for just $549 over at HP, or this ABS Challenger over at Newegg for $899. Even Dell has a great XPS desktop for $999 that comes with all the hardware needed to jump right into the best PC games out there.
