It's back! Dell is offering this Dell XPS gaming PC equipped with an Intel Core i5 processor and RTX 3060 video card for a really low price of $999.99. This is one of the very few (if only) RTX 3060 PCs you'll find at this price range or less. The RTX 3060 alone sells for about $600 on Amazon. In this case, you're getting a complete, well-rounded RTX 3060 gaming rig, as well as a 1 year warranty, for only $400 more.
Dell XPS RTX 3060 Gaming PC for $999.99
The Dell XPS gaming PC is equipped with an 11th gen Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, and the RTX 3060 video card. For faster performance, we'd definitely recommend adding in an SSD as your boot drive. The low price tag might imply that the RTX 3060 is not up to snuff, but nothing could be further from the truth. The RTX 3060 is about 20% faster than the RTX 2060 SUPER and is on par with the RTX 2070, but with the advantage of better DLSS and Ray Tracing compatibility. That means it handles 1080p gaming beautifully and has the chops to take on 1440p and VR gaming as well. That's pretty impressive for a budget $999 gaming PC no matter how you look at it.

Note: This config comes standard with a 1TB HDD. We recommend upgrading to a 512GB SDD, either through Dell (+$80) or on your own.
The RTX 3060 is no slouch; its performance is superior to the RTX 2060 SUPER and almost matches the RTX 2070 SUPER in some games. It will easily handle all of your games at up to 1440p. If that's all you need, you'll still save almost $200 compared to the price of the RTX 3070 config. It's paired with a AMD Ryzen 7 5800 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD.

Although the RTX 3060 is a fine card for 1080p gaming, the RTX 3060 Ti is a substantially faster card. In fact, the RTX 3070 is not much better, and most of the time the RTX 3060 Ti is recommended over the RTX 3070 in terms of price vs performance. This card is powerful enough to handle 1080p or 1440p gaming, even if you're gunning for 144fps. It's about as powerful as the previous generation's RTX 2080 SUPER.
Alienware Aurora R10 RTX 3070 PC for $1499.99
This is the first time we've seen an Alienware Aurora gaming PC equipped with an RTX 3070 priced at under $1500. The RTX 3070 is even more powerful than the previous generation's fastest video card, the RTX 2080 Ti. This is the card to get if you want to push 144Hz frame rates or ultra high settings (or both) at up to 1440p. It's powerful enough to handle most 4K gaming as well. It's paired with some great specs, like a liquid cooled AMD Ryzen 7 5800 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD.
