Best computer deals: Top picks from desktops to all-in-ones

An absolute killer limited-time deal on an Alienware Aurora R12 from Dell! It comes with a Core i7-11700KF, GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, 16GB RAM, and a 1TB PCIe SSD. For the Intel gaming fans, this is an excellent way to snag a stylish liquid-cooled Alienware on the cheap.

Alienware always delivers a futuristic design and cool aesthetics. But these PCs are known to be a bit pricey—and that’s why it’s best to wait to snag them on a deal. This Alienware Aurora Ryzen Edition R10 comes with a Ryzen 5 5600X, Radeon RX 6700 XT, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB NVMe SSD. The RAM and particularly the SSD are a bit less than most gamers want for their systems, but the CPU and GPU on this unit offer solid value.

The HP Pavilion 24 comes with a Core i5-11500T, GeForce MX 350, 16GB RAM, a 256GB NVMe SSD, and a 1TB 7200 HDD. The 23.8-inch display is capable of 1920×1080 resolution and the whole set-up comes with a built-in webcam and decently powerful speakers. Perfect for that new home office upgrade you’ve been looking for.

The HP Envy makes for a great home-office or family computer. Also, while it might not have dazzling RGB lighting or a futuristic design, this desktop will allow you (or your family) to play all of your favorite games at reasonable frame rates. It comes with a Core i7-11700, GeForce RTX 3060, 16GB RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD, and a 2TB HDD. Not bad for a no-frills tower.

This iBuyPower Trace5MR 1003Ti comes fully loaded with a Core i7-11700KF, GeForce RTX 3080Ti, 16GB RAM, and 1TB NVMe SSD. They also sweeten the deal with some liquid cooling and tons of RGB. While the 1TB SSD is a bit less storage than you would want at this price point, you can’t argue with that CPU and GPU combo.

Most might know Omen as HP’s premium line of gaming desktops. But they also have a line of more affordable gaming-focused options called Victus. This HP Victus 15L comes with a Ryzen 7 5700G, Radeon RX 6600XT, 16GB RAM, a 512GB PCIe SSD, and a 1TB 7200rpm HDD. It might be a little less flair than gamers are used to, but it’ll provide the same performance.

Skytech comes through with another solid discount. This time, the Skytech Chronos Mini offers a Ryzen 5 3600, GTX 1660 Super, 16GB RAM, and a 500GB SSD. This system definitely falls in the budget/entry-level category, but you get a solid amount of RAM and the added perk of RGB.

CyberPowerPC makes some great PC components and they have put together a respectable entry-level pre-built machine here. It comes with a Core i3-12100F, Radeon RX 6500XT, 8GB RAM, and a 500GB PCIe SSD. We wish it came with more RAM, but they make up for it with a decent-sized zippy PCIe SSD and a reasonable GPU for this price point.

All-in-ones are great for their ease of use and ability to save you precious desk space. This Inspiron 24 5000 comes with a Ryzen 5 5625U, AMD Radeon integrated graphics, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB NVMe SSD. The 23.8 inch display is capable of 1920×1080 resolution. It’s fairly basic build, but it’ll get the job done if you’re looking for an inexpensive all-in-one.

For those looking for a high-end gaming rig, CyberPowerPC is a great choice. With a sleek under-stated design, the Gamer Supreme 3080 packs some pretty great hardware. It comes with a Core i9-11900KF, a GeForce RTX 3080, 32GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, and a 2TB HDD. They even include a liquid cooling system in case you want to overclock—at your own discretion.
