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....

What do you recommend for a desktop for a person using it for graphic design. Do I need a better graphics card?

An Inspiron is much cheaper than let's say the xps model which has the imbedded graphics card. Is it hard or expensive to install card afterwards? the price dif between the 2models for desktop is 449 vs 699

Not expensive to change later but generally speaking the xps is a better machine. Obviously it all depends on your budget but if you're doing heavy graphics get a solid processor.
