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....

Currently using that system w/ upgraded SSD and 2TB HD. Got @ BF for 629 (w/ 3 yr warranty :) ) and am satisfied w/ the purchase.

Don't believe it was available with 3 yr warranty for $629. You must've paid extra for warranty.  On a side note -  the BF deal came with Windows 7 pro, this one is only home
