At this price, it's pretty hard to argue with. I mean, it's no full-blown gaming PC; it features some proprietary parts and is not super convenient to upgrade, but for under a grand with an RTX 3060, 512 GB NVMe SSD, and 11th-gen Core i5, it's hard to do much better with any of the bigger brands.

2 upgrades are needed for this:
1) memory: add another 8GB. Dell is picky, go with this: https://www.crucial.com/memory/dd...ct19034851
2) CPU cooler is bad, change it with Vetroo V5 (easy to change and fits in the case)

$30 each

Not bad.

Would be worth mentioning in the description that it also includes a DVD Writer.

Try to get a gaming PC that I can stream with also and use for video editing and 3D modeling. Would I have to add more RAM to it? And how much?

12th gen XPS just got released so 11th gen should start to go down as they clear them out.

But, the increase in performance and new cooling option, I wonder if it's better to wait a little..

These cases are way too big for the included components. Opening up one of these you see mostly air. Small drives, MB, PSU, etc. it's like they are trying to sell you on a larger case equals more processing power.

I bought this HP a few weeks ago for $900.... https://slickdeals.net/f/15456208-hp-pavilion-gaming-desktop-rtx-3060-ryzen-7-5700g-16gb-ddr4-512gb-ssd-900-free-shipping?src=SiteSearchV2Algo1

Same graphic card, but overall specs a bit different... Should I get this DELL instead??

The Costco deal is phenomenal if you can get one, but it seems sold out/unavailable at most locations.
I picked up 4 day before yesterday.

Quote from Solandri View quoted comment :
To quantify "light years above"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis..._30_series [wikipedia.org]

The 3060 is 3584 shaders, the 3060 Ti is 4864 shaders, the 3070 is 5888, 3070 Ti is 6144, 3080 is 8704, 3080 Ti is 10240, and 3090 is 10496. The number of other processing units is proportional to the number of shaders. So the amount of hardware you get in each card is:

1.00 - 3060
1.36 - 3060 Ti is like getting 1.36 3060s
1.64 - 3070 is like getting 1.64 3060s
1.71 - 3070 Ti
2.43 - 3080
2.86 - 3080 Ti
2.93 - 3090

So you can see the big jumps in the amount of hardware you get are at the 3060 Ti, 3070, and 3080. The other models represent a much smaller increase over the previous.

This ignores clock speed and memory bandwidth differences, and differing amounts of VRAM, Going from the 3060 to the 3060 Ti also bumps up the memory bus from 192 bits to 256 bits (33% faster memory access), so you should see a significant speed boost from that as well. (Next step up is the 3080, which gets a 320 bit bus.)
Thank you for the informative comparison.
Any recommendations for pre-built 3080 or 3080ti?

Hi there, folks. This was my first purchase through the SlickDeals addon.

I was sure to be logged in here and within the addon, and I used the link to order. However, I also went through with financing, and there didn't seem to be a ref code in the URL anymore when I checked out.

I also don't see the purchase in my SD history, but I know it says it can take 2-10 days for it to appear there.

For those with experience doing this: should I be fine or should I re-order?

Thanks.

Anyone know how large the 3060 is or have pictures of it? I want to stick it in my ITX rig and give the rest of the system to my dad for office work

Yes, HP is second rate quality, at best.

Could you not use this link [dell.com] instead for 15% cash back from Dell Home and Office?

EDIT: That's weird. The frontpage deal shows 2.5% cash back from Dell EPP, but the actual post shows 15% cash back from Dell Home and Office.
