If you've been dragging your feet on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the good news is that it's not the end of 'discount season,' as Cyber Monday sales are still live at Walmart. In fact, of the entirety of the sales period so far, Walmart Cyber Monday has been one of the best sales going, so if you've been looking for PC components or pre-builts, today is a great time to claim them, before the sales events at Walmart wind down.

Gaming laptop deals are also pretty abundant this time of year, as Cyber Monday truly is the best time of the year to buy electronics. Walmart really has done a comendable job getting itself set up in the PC gaming marketplace. My local Walmart has legit gaming laptops from brands I recognize on display. It's a far cry from the early 2000's "Lindows" computers (look it up, it's awesome).
What to Look for in a Gaming PC
If you're looking to hop into the glorious world of PC gaming for the first time, or you're hoping to introduce the hobby to someone through the purchase of a Cyber Monday gaming PC deal, it can be pretty daunting. If you're already a seasoned PC gamer, you know all about it and congratulations for making this far in the article.
First of all, almost any new gaming PC will run games just good enough. Even the least-expensive gaming PC on sale at Walmart for Cyber Monday will handle most games, although they might need to have their graphical settings dialed down. But think about the explosion in handheld PC gaming: the Steam Deck, the ASUS Rog Ally. Those machines don't have dedicated graphics cards, and people love them. OK, it's more technical and complicated than that, but basically any new gaming PC in 2023 will run most every modern game at some level, and older games will run without issue.
