Any gaming pc deals without the graphics card?

Hi all,

I currently have a i7 xps13 9310 with 32gb ram that I use with an ultra wide and an egpu 3070.

I get the feeling that the 3070 is bottlenecked by the epgu on this system. Probably the processor is also limiting.

Wondering if others think this is likely true?

Also, with this in mind, are there are good gaming pc build deals available but without the graphics card so I can slot in the 3070?

Looking to spend about 500. Would like a system that runs quiet and if possible a compact size. Should be able to play current games at medium to high settings.

Is this possible?
Thanks for any advice.

    A graphics card is the main thing which makes a PC into a gaming PC, so what you're looking for shouldn't exist. You may be able to get a customised PC from one of the build-to-order vendors, but you're as well going full DIY. Picking and assembling parts isn't difficult, and it'll likely deliver you a lot more from your budget than a service vendor will give you.
