Whats a Desktop Deal:

There are many factors you need to take into account in order to make something a deal. Manufacturer, Product line, Specs and warranty are usually what to look at when figuring that out. You need to consider prices as well, sometimes you get a price so hot that it doesn't matter what company it is.

Generally speaking here are the guidelines for Intel processors:

i3 8th Gen processor - Under $300 is usually a hot deal, Under $350 is decent
i5 8th Gen Processor - Under $400 is a Usually a Hot Deal
i7 8th Gen Processor - Under $600 is a Usually Hot Deal

to be continued....

I am new to the forums and saw this site had some deals on PC's. I missed those but found this thread in the forums so thought I might post here. I am a student looking for a desktop and since I do play some games I am looking for some higher specs. Dell is having $200 egift for certain PC purchases for students and was thinking of getting one of their machines -
XPS 8700, Windows 8
4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-4770 processor (8M Cache, up to 3.9 GHz)
8GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz - 2 DIMMs
AMD Radeon™ HD 7570 1GB GDDR5
1TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive 6.0 Gb/s (sorry left that out in original draft)

for $800 (and I would get $200 gift certificate).
Is this good deal or should I wait a bit for something better?

300 dollars, after attaching this mistake coupon: 24181 (Only suppose to work for desktops over 500)

ETA: Not a mistake, as the coupon refers to items regularly priced 499.99, which fits this exactly.

no specific budget. Something between $400-$700 I would say.

Check if your card has the OPEN Logo on the back.
