Dell XPS game computers are very suitable for 1080p games after a small upgrade.

Since Dell acquired Alienware in 2006, it's easy to forget that Dell makes its own game PC. Its line of XPS desktops can be equipped with all the latest hardware, and although these chassis don't scream "players" like some boxes, they are still powerful systems. This more sober approach actually attracts some people, especially their apparent lack of RGB glitter.

Due to early trading on Black Friday, this particular model is now $400 below the normal list price, and if you buy a game system that costs less than $1000 on the market, it's worth considering. To do this, you can get an Intel 11th generation core i5 11400 with six cores and 12 threads, which can be upgraded to 4.4GHz.

You will also get the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which may be from AMD's previous generation graphics card, but it is still a powerful product and will rival the newer Radeon RX 6600 XT in most games. If you are looking for a 1080p game console, this is good enough. The only thing missing from its silicon arsenal is the ability to track light-hardly a deal breaker, because even AMD's latest graphics cards are still struggling.

XPS's low-key look will be attractive if you don't want to light up the room while playing the highest-quality 1080p game. The RX 5700 XT may be the last generation, but it can still punch, and the 11th generation Core i5 is a powerful work and entertainment chip. However, you need to upgrade RAM to take full advantage of the system.
