Santa’s been, the turkey’s decimated, the drinks have been drunk, and the hangover’s starting to abate. So, now what to do with that Christmas money your great aunt stuffed into a weirdly archaic card? And if your great aunt didn’t hand over any cash, what should you be spending your own money on because you didn’t get what you really wanted for Christmas?
This is what we’re here for, to give you great buying advice and tickle your consumerist fancy with tempting deals from a host of different manufacturers that we genuinely believe are great ways to spend your money.
The end of the year/January sales ought to be a good place to bag a bargain given that we’re expecting a slew of new product, from new graphics cards to gaming laptops, in the coming weeks and months. So, the last-gen stuff still on sale ought to be a good price.
The counter to that is, should you find the deals on the goodies you’re after to be particularly tantalising, then save your money. Because if you are looking at getting yourself a new GPU or laptop, it’s entirely possible that—especially at the high-end—you’re going to be better off waiting for the new generation to drop at the start of the year.
But for peripherals and gaming monitors, we’re not expecting a lot of movement in the coming months, so this may well be a great chance to get yourself a new screen to make the most of your current gaming PC setup.

In his time he’s tested every type of PC component, peripheral, and accessory you can imagine, and probably some you can’t. That makes him perfectly placed to recommend the best deals, and the ones you need to steer clear of this Black Friday.
