For prebuilt gaming desktops, a few companies are reliable and widely available. Dell's Alienware division produces solid if sometimes pricey PCs that have a fan following. Asus's Republic of Gamers line hits the midrange and high-end markets with good machines. Acer's Predator line is also good, and HP's Omen models have their adherents.

Although plenty of "early" Black Friday deals have already gone live, there's really only one monitor deal that's worth jumping on right now. If that monitor doesn't fit your needs, I'd suggest waiting for better deals to come around.

Of course, Best Buy is be boasting early Black Friday deals on top electronics brands and products. It's literally in the name that it'll be bringing the sales and savings this holiday shopping season.
