UK Black Friday 2024 deals: PC components
It's a funny time for PC components right now. Everyone wants a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, but stocks are low, while Intel's new Core Ultra chips are readily available but not so highly rated for gaming. Meanwhile, new GPUs aren't expected any time soon, but fast NVMe storage is always in high demand - and after a price bump earlier in the year we're starting to see some historic lows on rapid PCIe 4.0 and 5.0 models plus quick portable SSDs and Micro SD cards for Steam Deck. Here are the UK highlights as things stand.

2024 is the year of the OLED when it comes to PC monitors, with Samsung QD-OLED and LG W-OLED panels offering higher resolutions, faster refresh rates, and better subpixel structures than their predecessors. If you don't fancy an OLED, then there are plenty of good Mini LED alternatives too. Plus, in the TV space, getting a high-end HDMI 2.1 set with 4K 120Hz support for PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X is more affordable than ever before.
