It's the mid-year season of deals, and a Dell PC sale is joining the 4th of July sales party. While we like a good gaming bargain here at GamesRadar+, this particular group of offers goes beyond just that function, and there's a few more home or work-focused machines that prove great value too. So if you're looking for something cheap and cheerful or a good value gaming machine then you may well find it here.
As we said, we like a gaming machine, and we think the best value machine going is a Vostro 5000 desktop centred around a GTX 1660Ti graphics card. This desktop PC also features an i7-9700 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. For all intents and purposed, that's a gaming PC build hiding inside a home PC chassis. It's got a decent price tag of $1,139.
For something in the middle of the PC spectrum but for a bargain price, and if you're looking for something that's great for everyday use and won't break the bank, then a Vostro Small Desktop for just $509 is right up your street. It's got perfect, compact home machine written all over it, from its compact case, to its i5-9400 processor - which is good going for a little PC, really.
The very cheapest PC going in this range is not to be sniffed at either, though: you can get a Vostro Desktop Tower with 4GB of RAM, an i3 processor, and a 1TB HDD for the princely sum of just $389. It won't knock your socks off, but it just goes to prove that you could get something like this as a competent home PC for only a few beans, and keep it for home tasks, and also direct some funds to a gaming setup elsewhere.
