We’re not going to come here and try to tell the PC Gamer readership that your rig isn’t primarily built for gaming. That’d be foolish. But in the off-hours between intense online shooter sessions and grand-strategy scheming late into the night, it’s important to know when to call it a night, close down Steam (no, leaving it minimised ready to reopen at any moment doesn’t count!), and turn that rig into a workstation.
The hardware of a gaming PC won’t struggle to run spreadsheets or writing software, but you’ll still need the right software for the job, and few will dispute that Microsoft Office remains the greatest package out there. Well now, courtesy of GoDeal24 (opens in new tab), you can get the latest versions of Office Professional (and Windows 10/11 Pro) for some unthinkably low prices (sound too good to be true? We’ll explain how it all works at the end of this article).
The site is currently having a Flash Sale, with the pick of the deals being a bundle of Office 2021 Pro Plus 5 PCs, the price is as low as $13.05/PC! For the uninitiated (we’re sure there’s someone out there), Office Pro contains those critical apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Publisher, as well as handy extras like VOIP app Teams, Access, and OneNote.
Here are some of the incredible Office bundle combos on the site:
Need a copy of Windows 11 for your new no-OS rig? You won’t find a better deal than this. If you want to save a bit extra, or just keep things old-school, you can even buy Windows 10 then get the free upgrade to Windows 11 via the OS when you’re ready.
Here are the best Windows deals at GoDeal24:
Or you can bundle up and get both Windows and Office Pro in one big package:
There’s a lot more happening in the GoDeal24 Flash Sales, so head over to the site and check it out yourself.

With a solid 4.9 rating on TrustPilot from nearly 3000 reviews, you’re in good hands.
How is it so cheap? What’s the catch?
Normally, when you as a consumer buy Microsoft products, you buy the ones using a commercial license from the Microsoft site, which can be activated on multiple devices. GoDeal24, however, sells OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) licenses, which are tied to hardware and can only be activated on one device.
The reason for this is that the EU ruled that unused OEM software keys can be sold in the EU legally. GoDeal24 buys these keys in bulk off of the OEMs, then sells them on. These OEM keys are then tied to the machine you activate them on, even if you change hard drives. The only way the key becomes invalid is if you change your PC’s motherboard, so you’re pretty secure there!
So head over to GoDeal24 (opens in new tab) and find the right Microsoft package for you. But be quick, because Flash Deals don’t last forever!
