Dell XPS 8910 desktop PC - $670

If your desktop PC is getting a little too old to handle today's hardcore games, we've got a solid upgrade for you. This Dell XPS Tower isn't quite VR friendly, but it should run most 2D games with ease for less than $700 with a discount code. Spec wise, it has a 4GHz 6th Generation Intel Core i7, Windows 10 Pro, a 1TB hard drive, Nvidia's 2GB GeForce GT 730 graphics card, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and 16GB DDR4 RAM. You'll have to supply your own monitor. Dell's online store has the Dell XPS 8910 Tower Chassis for $670 (Discount Code: XPS669, List Price: $900).

Other great deals:

Powerful laptop for less than $600: Dell has a decent sale going on its new Inspiron 15 5000.

More impressively, it runs on a 7th Generation (Kaby Lake) Intel Core i7 processor, has a 15.6-inch screen, 512GB solid state drive, and 8GB DDR4 RAM. This configuration is normally $910, but with a discount code on Dell's site, you can order the Dell Inspiron 15 5000 for $580 (Discount Code: EXTRA320SAVINGS, List Price: $910).

4K TV for less than $500: Vizio TVs tend to give shoppers an excellent balance of picture quality and value. This 50-inch 4K LED model is no different. Dell has the Vizio E50-E1 4K TV on sale for $470 with a $100 Dell gift card included (List Price: $500).

4 USB charging ports for $8: This little dongle will turn your car's useless cigarette lighter into four useful USB ports. It's even future proof, with a USB C port included.

Secure your home with Alexa: We posted this deal over the weekend, and it's still valid. If you're eyeing a way to keep an eye on your property, this five-camera Netgear security system should help. It's compatible with Amazon Alexa, has night vision, and can send motion-activated notifications or emails straight to your phone. Or you can view a live feed, if you're in the mood. It's especially good for outdoors use, thanks to each camera's wire-free, waterproof design. The system costs more than $100 per camera new, but this certified refurbished model is on sale for much less. You can buy the Netgear Arlo 5-camera Security System for $360 (List Price: $550).
