SpecPicks scored Dell XPS 8960 Tower Desktop Computer using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to our editorial and benchmark analysis across the prebuilt gaming pcs category. Dell's prebuilt gaming pcs lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
