Black Friday 2026 Gaming PC Builds, Priced Within the Last 24 Hours, RAM Included

Every build below is a curated, compatibility-checked parts list with its memory counted in the total, and each price shows the store it came from and the UTC time we recorded it. No price is more than 24 hours old when this page is generated, and each build's Amazon parts go into one cart.

Why RAM is included

A parts list can look cheaper by leaving the memory out, or by assuming you already own some. A PC will not start without it, so every build here counts its memory kit in the total.

  • In the 1080p Entry Build, the OLOy Blade 16 GB (2x8GB DDR4-3200) is 11% of the total (Amazon, Nov 4, 20:01 UTC).
  • In the 1440p Mainstream Build, the Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2x16GB DDR5-6000) is 24% of the total (Amazon, Nov 5, 02:02 UTC).
  • In the 1440p High-Refresh Build, the Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2x16GB DDR5-6000) is 16% of the total (Amazon, Nov 5, 02:02 UTC).

How we pick and price these builds

  • Curated parts. Each build is a fixed list of components, and each component has three or more parts we picked, each tied to the Amazon listing we checked it against. The build uses the lowest Amazon price that passes the checks below, or else the lowest price from another store we track.
  • Same-chip check. A price is shown only when it falls between 0.4 and 1.6 times the typical price of the same chip or kind of part (or, where too few of those are priced, of the listing's own price history), so a mislabeled listing cannot slip into a total. A price with nothing to check it against is not shown.
  • At most 24 hours old. A price older than 24 hours is not shown. Each one carries its store and the UTC time we recorded it.
  • Compatibility-checked. The parts picked for a build go through the same compatibility check as the planner. A build that fails it shows no prices or cart.
  • No Windows. A total covers the listed parts only: no operating system, monitor or peripherals.
  • No “was” prices. We do not print a former price or a percentage off. The launch MSRP beside a processor or graphics card is the price its maker announced at launch, with the month and a link to the announcement, for context only.

Frequently Asked Questions

How old are the prices on this page?

Each price shows the store and the UTC time we recorded it, and none is more than 24 hours old when the page is generated. Stores change prices often in November, and the price at the store when you check out is the one that applies.

Why is RAM included in every build?

A PC will not start without memory, so a total without it understates the cost. Each build counts its kit: 16 GB of DDR4 in the 1080p build and 32 GB of DDR5-6000 in the others.

What does the launch MSRP mean?

It is the price the chip's maker announced at launch, with the month, shown for processors and graphics cards as context. It is not a former price of the listing, and we do not work out a difference from it.

Is Windows included in the total?

No. A total covers the parts listed: processor, cooler where one is listed, motherboard, memory, storage, graphics card, power supply and case. Windows, a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse are extra.

Why does a build show no total?

A total appears only when every part has a price we can show: at most 24 hours old and within the range for its chip. Otherwise the build says how many parts have one, and its cart holds the Amazon parts that do.

When does the 4K build appear?

Only when every one of its parts has a price we can show, because a 4K total with a part missing is too far off to be useful. When it is not shown, you can price an RTX 5080 build in the planner.

How does the Amazon cart work?

The cart button adds a build's Amazon-priced parts to one Amazon cart, so you check out once. A part priced at another store links to that store instead. Amazon's price at checkout applies.
