      New low on a Dell XPS 8500 w/ Ivy Bridge Quad Core i7-3770 processor, 8GB RAM, and discrete graphics. At $660 it's cheapest ever by $20 and ties the cheapest XPS 8500 configuration at Dell with a weaker Core i5 processor.

        Thanks for the info. Yes, Dell has had many XPS 8500 desktops with 2GB GPU recently. But it looks like they must have stopped offering that option. We're re-checking all the available configs now. Typical Dell issue, randomly changing their specs without notice :/ Thanks for alerting us.

          Dell is really throwing some interesting deal curve balls at the market this Black Friday & Cyber Monday weekend. This config with a smaller hard drive was advertised at $699 on Black Friday, but you can now get it for $20 cheaper with an extra terabyte too. A decent deal to consider.

          This XPS 8500 deal was suppose to only go live on Black Friday next week, but someone at Dell must have accidentally flipped the switch early because its now live and can be ordered. Lowest price on an i7 XPS 8500, now with Windows 8. Currently not listed on Dell.com and unknown when they will turn the deal off.

          You gotta love it when coupons stack together when it shouldn't (or should?). XPS 8500 with Core i7 and a 23-inch Ultrasharp IPS panel for only $817. This is the lowest the combo has ever been add. First coupon takes $60 off the desktop, second coupon takes $23 of the monitor. Both stacks with instant savings. Score!

          Cheap desktop + monitor combo from Dell. The XPS 8500 desktop with Ivy Bridge Core i7-3770, Radeon HD 7570, 8GB RAM + 23" LED monitor drops to $840 after a new $60 coupon code. That's a new low by $10 - beating out the previous low of $850 last seen on Black Friday. Normally this combo goes for $900 and up.

          If you get past Metro it isn't all that bad but then again I haven't upgraded to Windows 8 myself too so I probably shouldn't defend it... there are rare deals with Windows 7 still but those are odd-ball inventories. All the OEMs are on Windows 8 now, whether they like it or not. Le sigh.

          Dell does have Win 7 (custom), but all the deals I can find on beefy CPUs only have Win 8. MSFT blew it with Win 8 - just read the reviews at AMZN or NewEgg. I can't wait for an Android OS for PCs to come ...

        This is the cheapest XPS 8500 desktop on Dell's site.

        If you're curious about upgrading to a Core i7 processor, it's actually a decent value. At time of writing, the price difference between this base config's Core i5-3350P and Core i7-3770 was about $110 if you just bought the CPUs from Amazon. Dell is charging $125 for that upgrade, so it's at least in the same ballpark, and you'll have it straight out of the box instead of having to swap the part on your own and then hope to resell your leftover Core i5-3350P, for which it would be hard to get full retail price from an individual buyer.

        However, DO NOT add on a monitor that Dell offers you. When you click to the customization page, Dell labels the 23-inch S2340L monitor as "Dell recommended" for $189.99. What a joke. We found they sell it separately for cheaper than that.

            New $60 coupon drops the base configured Dell XPS 8500 to $630 with free shipping. It's the lowest price we've seen on it in 2013 by $10. If you're looking to build a gaming rig and don't want the hassle of starting from scratch this is a cheap way to get started. Just add a new GPU, maybe more RAM and you'll have a pretty decent gaming PC.

            Dell's popular XPS 8500 desktop is now even more affordable with today's only deal beating out Black Friday and Cyber Monday pricing for the Core i5 config. They've paired it with the basic GT 620 GPU along with 8GB of RAM and plenty of storage. This is a great starter machine which you can easily get more out of when you eventually upgrade the graphics card.

            Ivy Bridge XPS 8500 base model is now cheapest ever at $670 since release date price of $750. Same config of 8GB RAM with 1TB hard drive. The big difference is it now comes with a GT 640 Kepler based GPU, which is a decent enough lower mid-range graphics card that can play most modern games.

            Dell finally has one computer line-up with the new Ivy Bridge chips. The desktop XPS systems are refreshed to the 8500 series (from 8300) and now comes with 3rd Gen Intel chips. Base line Core i5-3450 with GPU, 8GB of RAM and 1 TB 7200 rpm HDD is at $749.99 with free ship, while you can pay another $150 more for the i7 version. Speakers and monitors aren't included, but mouse and keyboards are, of course. The older 8300 with Core i5 2nd Gen is the SAME price, so why not buy Ivy Bridge?

            OH yeah you can totally wait for a better deal, there's no question the 8500 will be at least $50 to $100 cheaper in the near future. One thing though is Dell no longer lists the 8300 on their site, but I bet models will be available in the outlet.

            Simple Guide to Dell XPS Desktops

            Dell XPS 8500 is the current model of Dell's famous XPS desktop series targeting power users like designers (previous versions were even called "Studio XPS") and gamers who want the latest generation of Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors and capable graphics cards.

            Previous models numbers XPS 8300 and XPS 9100 have been discontinued. Also the 7100 series with AMD chips is no longer available. As of January 2013 Dell is just selling the XPS 8500.

            Sure, many computer geeks will tell you to just build your own desktop to get the best components for the best price. But if you're not quite ready to do that, or you just don't want to deal with the hassle that can come with DIY projects, then getting a Dell XPS desktop can be a good way to go.

            The XPS 8500 base configuration comes with Core i5 and 8GB RAM for around $700. Anything cheaper than that, we'll certainly have it posted at the top of this page. You can upgrade that base config to Core i7 for $125, which is a decent price considering that as of mid-January 2013 at retail prices Core i7-3770 cost about $110 more than the Core i5-3350P if you just bought the CPUs off Amazon. So at least you know it isn't a huge ripoff, since it's about the same price and upgrading on the Dell site means it will come pre-installed for you and ready to work out of the box without you having to loosen the screws.

            Can you get a cheaper Dell desktop? Sure. One option is the Inspiron 660 - check it -- but it's important to note that you can't get a Core i7 from Dell in the Inspiron 660. It tops out at Core i5.

            Tell Me About XPS 8500 Specs

            RAM / Memory: - Ranges from 8GB to 24GB, and the XPS has 4 DIMM slots so you might want to pop in your own memory.

            GPU / Video Cards: - Here are the GPU options for the Dell XPS 8500 desktop as of January 2013:

            • NVIDIA GeForce GT 620 1GB DDR3 - Low-end, entry level GPU. Its better than the Intel HD 4000 and but honestly not by a significant amount. You'll be able to play most games a generation behind but expect low settings for anything new-ish.
            • AMD Radeon HD 7570 1GB GDDR5 - Faster entry level GPU but not much faster than GT 620. You'll be able to do a bit more newer games with this GPU, but again, an entry-level GPU.
            • NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 1GB GDDR5 - The GT 640 is a lower-end mid-range GPU, offering speeds faster than the 7570 but you're still stuck with low/medium settings if you play modern games.
            • Radeon HD 7770 2GB GDDR5 - HD 7770 is a solid mid-range GPU that can play most modern games without a problem. Expect medium settings for some more intensive games.
            So if you're a gamer and you want a Dell XPS desktop, get a config with the Radeon HD 7770 2GB. You'll be happiest with that over the other options. Or, get whatever deal is cheapest and just upgrade the GPU on your own with the exact part you prefer.

            Storage / Hard Drive: - 1TB or 2TB at 7200RPM, and some XPS configs come with mSATA or "mSSD" add-ons for speedy "flash cache"

            The Bottom Line

            Dell’s XPS desktops look pretty good and can make a great PC for power users or even a very decent gaming rig if you don’t want to shell out for the Alienware Aurora.
