[Hardware] Save $350 on this RTX 3060 gaming PC from Dell

[[M]anuel]

This understated Dell machine can be yours for just $1,250.

Dell had some cracking deals over the Black Friday season, particularly when it came to desktops and laptops. It's good to see that it hasn't run out of stock then, because this particular Dell XPS desktop deal still makes for a great way of getting your hands on some decent gaming performance.

The notable component in this machine is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 12GB graphics card, which will handle 1080p in the vast majority of games smoothly at the highest possible settings. There are a few exceptions, that tax the underlying Ampere a bit too much, but nothing a little settings tweaking can solve. 1440p gaming isn't completely outside the realms of possibility either, especially if you don't mind massaging those settings a little.

There are no nasty surprises hiding in the specifications for this machine either, with Intel's 11th Gen Core i7 11700 providing plenty of raw power to handle the latest games and also lend its hand to some serious number crunching when needed too. Alder Lake may have taken the shine of this generation of chips a little, but you're not going to get a new machine with Intel's 12th Gen chips in them for anything like this kind of cash just yet.
