If your current rig is starting to show its age, it might be time to look out for a Black Friday gaming PC deal, and it just so happens that I have one in mind. The MSI Aegis R gaming desktop is just shy of $800 on Amazon, that’s a saving of around $150 which is the cheapest we’ve seen this particular tower. It doesn’t scrimp on the storage either, so you won’t need to set extra aside to allow for a bigger SSD. 

So what do you get for your money? Most importantly, the MSI Aegis R has an RTX 4060 GPU, launching you well and truly into the current GeForce generation, and the Intel Alder Lake i5 12400F processor means it won’t struggle to handle most tasks you throw at it. Thankfully, it also comes with 16GB RAM, which puts you comfortably within the minimum memory requirement: that is assuming you’re planning on running multiple resource-hogging programs alongside your games.

As mentioned above, this PC also boasts a reasonable amount of storage, which is pretty surprising considering that’s the first thing that usually gets sacrificed with regard to discounted gaming PCs. The Aegis R, however, comes with a generous 1TB SSD to house your favourite games. And if you need it, the Windows 11 operating system is also included, so there’s no need to fork out for an OS.

If the 1TB SSD isn’t enough for you, take a look at these Black Friday SSD deals for some other options.
