For serious gamers an elite gaming rig is a necessity, but anyone who’s shopped for one knows that it can get expensive. That’s why we were pretty excited that Dell dropped a huge coupon on a souped up XPS 8700 Special Edition desktop, cutting the price for this unit to $1000 for the first time.

This model packs a 4th-gen Core i7-4770 quad-core processor paired with a 2GB AMD Radeon HD R9 270 graphics card, both of which are high-end specs that will keep your frame rates high on current games. It also packs sufficient RAM and storage, at 16GB DDR3 1600MHz and a 2TB disk alongside a 32GB SSD.

As a mini-tower desktop, you won’t have to find space for a hulking tower, but it’s still easy enough to upgrade your components when you want to. There’s support for four storage bays (that’s three HDDs and one SSD), and while all four RAM slots are in use with the initial 16GB RAM, you can upgrade to as much as 32GB down the line. It’s not likely you’ll need to upgrade for a while if at all, but it’s nice to know it’s easy to do if you really want that extra speed and storage.

In terms of connectivity, a wide variety of ports can be found on both the front, back and top, including 10 USB ports (six USB 3.0), 7.1 channel audio, HDMI, Display Port and a 19-in-1 Card Reader. Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC and Bluetooth 4.0 are also built in, making it easy to connect to your networks and devices wirelessly too.

Dell also includes a keyboard and laser mouse to get you started out of the gate. A 1-year Enhanced Support warranty comes standard too. Right now you can save a whopping $450 with our coupon, so check it out while it lasts.

Dell XPS 8700 desktop with 16GB RAM and AMD R9 270 GPU for $999.99. Apply $300 coupon code NQQ?N0Z1RZJ8B? in shopping cart for total $450 savings.
