Get a Dell Inspiron desktop with a Core i7-8700 and GeForce GTX 1060 for $931
A burly gaming desktop configuration for under a grand.
There are some good deals over at Dell as part of its Presidents Day sale that is still going on. We highlighted one on Monday, an Alienware Aurora desktop with a variety of GPU options. If you're not into the Aurora's styling, however, Dell's Inspiron gaming desktop is also on sale, with a GeForce GTX 1060 configuration available for less than a grand.
The asking price for this setup is $980. If you apply coupon code 50OFF699 at checkout, it brings the price down to $931.
That gets you a burly Core i7-8700 six-core Coffee Lake processor paired with 16GB of RAM and a GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card (3GB model). It also has a 128GB M.2 SATA SSD and 2TB HDD (7,200 RPM) for storage chores, along with onboard 802.11ac Wi-Fi and of course Windows 10 Home 64-bit.
Compared to the Aurora, both systems can be had for $931, though the Alienware system drops the processor down to a Core i5-8400 and the storage setup to just a single 1TB HDD. However, it bumps the graphics card up to the 6GB version of the GeForce GTX 1060. You can also upgrade the GPU to a GeForce GTX 1070 for $98 more, or a GeForce GTX 1080 for $196 more.
