The best Black Friday PC building tools — save money on the tech to fix your tech

Building a PC is a great experience. We sit there with a spreadsheet and multiple browser tabs, poring over the best CPUs, the best GPUs, PC cases, RAM deals, and many more components. The package arrives, and we are excitedly tearing into the boxes, putting the parts on the table, and we are ready to build! We reach into the toolkit and dig out the rusty old screwdriver we used to open a paint can back in 2014. We then spill standoffs and screws over the floor, ready for an unsuspecting foot at 2am! But wait, it doesn’t have to be like this! I’ve done this, made the mistakes, and now I share my knowledge and that of the Tom’s Hardware staff so you don’t have to. Best of all, these products are all on offer for Black Friday. I’ve broken the tools down into categories, and you can use the navigation link to go directly to the deals that you want.
