Dell is currently offering a new Dell XPS Intel Core i7 RTX 4060 Ti gaming PC for only $1099.99. That's $540 off its $1550 MSRP and a much more affordable alternative to getting an Alienware PC. The XPS sports a more understated asthetic compared to Alienware, but don't be fooled; this is a well built rig with capable hardware that's perfect for 1080p gaming.
Dell XPS i7 RTX 4060 Ti Gaming PC for $1099.99
This Dell XPS model is equipped with an Intel Core i7-13700 CPU, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GPU, 16GB of DDR5-4800MHz RAM, a 512GB NVMe SSD. The 13th generation Intel Core i7-13700 Raptor Lake processor features a turbo boost clock of 5.2GHz with 16 cores, 24 threads, and 24MB cache. This is an excellent gaming and workstation CPU that won't bottleneck your GPU in games. Relative to AMD, it's similar in performance to the Ryzen 9 7900. By default it is air-cooled but we recommend you upgrade to liquid CPU cooling for $50.
The RTX 4060 Ti 8GB video card is the perfect GPU for 1080p gaming, although it's also capable of handling 1440p resolution as well. It's about 5%-10% faster than the RTX 3060 Ti and 20%-25% faster than the RTX 4060 (non-Ti) at 1080p gaming. Because this is a newer RTX 40 series card, it supports DLSS 3.0, which offers a significant fps boost with negligible reduction in visual quality.
The Dell XPS lineup isn't as flashy as its Alienware counterparts or other high-end gaming PCs. Instead you get a no-nonsense value-packed gaming rig that features a compact chassis with a sensible cooling layout and an easy to access interior with upgradeable components. This particular model ships out within the week, so you'll be gaming on your upgraded PC in no time.
