One value in those newer 3070 systems is that those newer models natively support Windows 11 (unlike the Skylake systems). Additionally, for much less than the asking price commanded by Dell Refurbished, you could buy a CPU upgrade to an i5 or i7 via eBay for $100-150 and have a solid, long-term productivity box on your hands.
Obviously, you might do better with Dell Refurbished to simply wait for better deals on systems already equipped with said i5 or i7 series CPUs. For now there's a huge jump from the Pentium Gold equipped PCs (around $150) to their i3 ($340) and i5 ($360) equivalents. Perhaps there's another coupon(?).
Good luck!

One app that's consuming lots of CPU cycles is converting video files from x265 to x264.
Also, the XPS 8100 allows me to connect to *two* monitors via HDMI and DVI.
Thanks.

Toss in some extra storage and you will have a solid productivity/browsing machine that can convert videos easily too, especially if your conversion software can utilize Quick Sync.
