[Dell] G5 / i5-10400F / GTX 1660S 6GB / 8GB DDR4, 2666MHz / 256GB + 2TB / $774 + tax / Uniday (-10%) / Rakuten (-14%)

Deal Link:: https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/gaming- ... g5000_s62e
Price:: $774
Savings:: 24%
Expiry:: February 15, 2021
Retailer:: Dell

Standard model comes with 360W PSU, you can change it to 500W for $38 + tax.

I just added 500W psu and rakuten calculated on total price.

The exact calculation is:
( PC price * 0.9 (Uniday) + tax (13% for me)) * 0.86 (Rakuten)

This is what I paid.

This is a better deal than the BB last month that came with a 6GB 1660S and 1TB HDD. If one can get the 10% uniday.

Edit: Corrected GPU memory.

1000 * 0.90 (Uniday Discount 10%) * 0.86 (Rakuten Discount 14%)

Probably doesn't work out exactly that way because after tax discount etc. But that's the general gist of it.

good deal, upvoted consider how expensive video cards are nowadays,
but will probably need to put money in another stick of RAM, a bigger size SSD and probably need an adapter for upgrading PSU.

I think this is a great deal. My config is the following.

i5 10400F
8GB
256 nvme + 2 TB 7200RPM HDD
AMD 5700 8GB video
500W P/S

1799.99 - 550 - 125 (uniday)
1124.99
14% Rakuten and $33 Dell Rewards

Net is Under $1100

That's crazy with a 5700 vid card.

Nay sayers start chirping about custom M/B and P/S.... It is 500W platinum and TDP of CPU is 180W...and CPU 65W....PLENTY TO SPARE.

If worried about thermals, can customize easy enough.

Thanks OP!!!,

Test of the I5-10400f and the GTX 1660S. Pretty decent price if you get all the stacks to play a ton of games at 1080p at high to ultra settings. Though I think he bumped ram to 16gb 3200mhz.

Would have jumped on that deal. Unfortunately, my old dell refurb decided to die last week.

I believe it was confirmed from a couple of users that got it that the BB one was in fact a 6GB 1660S.

Edit: keep in mind they bump ram to 16gb, do some overclock and changes.
