Dell is offering its G5 Gaming Desktop with i5/8GB/512GB for $599.99 shipped with the code DTG5AFF28 at checkout. Down from its $900 list price, this is one of the best prices that we’ve tracked all-time for a similar setup. It includes the 6-core i5-10400F processor, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, a 512GB NVMe SSD, and a GTX 1650 Super 4GB GPU. This is more than enough horsepower to handle most AAA games at 1080p and is the perfect starting place for those just getting into PC gaming. Having recently set up a similar system for a family member, I can vouch for the power that this setup provides for mid-range gaming. Rated 4.3/5 stars.
Update 2/8 @ 7:2 PM: Amazon currently offers the Microsoft Surface Go 2 Intel Pentium/8GB/128GB for $499 shipped. Down from $549, today’s deal marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked and beats our last mention by $15. Rated 4.5/5 stars and you can learn more in our announcement coverage.
Now, since you’re saving $300 with today’s lead deal, why not put some of that cash to use? Well, since you’re only getting 512GB of storage here, adding an extra 1TB gives you plenty of room for additional games, updates, media, and more. Crucial’s 2.5-inch Internal Solid-State Drive is available on Amazon for $90, which uses just a fraction of your savings.
Another area you could upgrade is RAM. Today’s lead deal only ships with 8GB, and while that’s plenty for just starting out, you can pick up an additional 32GB for $138 on Amazon. This kit matches the memory that already comes in the G5 desktop for speed and expands you capacity to a total of 40GB, since four slots are available and only one is used up when you purchase it.
