Amazon’s annual Prime Day October sale is happening this week, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find better deals elsewhere. Rather, Dell is having its own “early holiday sale” that starts today and, frankly, several of these deals are incredible. One of the main reasons is that the price of Nvidia graphics cards has been falling quite steadily lately. This is a great opportunity to upgrade your gaming PC just in time for some high-profile game releases like Battlefield 6.
