An honest entry-gaming buy: six cores and rec-bar flags
The Dell G5 5587 (2018) pairs a Core i7 8750H with a GTX 1050 Ti (4GB) and 32GB of RAM at $459. Its measurements read entry-tier against the modern gaming class — graphics 31.34 against a 78.49 median, reliability 25 against 53, RAM half the norm — but the flag sheet keeps it credible: a clean set of recommended-bar clears for the games it can realistically run.
What the 1050 Ti still clears
Overwatch, Grand Theft Auto V, and Rainbow Six Siege all clear their recommended bars, and Photoshop and Visual Studio Code clear their minimums. That is the honest envelope of a 4GB card of its generation: competitive titles at recommended settings, older or lighter engines comfortably, and creative work at minimum spec. The six-core 8750H and 32GB of RAM keep the desktop side of the machine more current than its GPU.
Price and value trajectory
From $1,800 at launch to $459 today, the 5587 has depreciated at 10.4 percent per year, with a projected $368 (a further 19.7 percent) in two years. Entry gaming hardware settles into its floor band early — this machine has little left to lose in absolute dollars, which matches its terminal capability tier.
Against its price neighbors
Above it sit the OMEN 15-ce018dx and the Inspiron 15 7567, both at $495; below it the XPS 15 9560 at $422 and the Inspiron 7567 at $434. The band is thick with the same GPU class. The 5587's edge over the cheaper pair is the six-core CPU and the newer card generation; against the pricier OMEN it ties on flags for $36 less. Solid middle of the band, nothing more claimed.
Bottom line
The G5 5587 at $459 is an honest entry-gaming machine: rec-bar esports flags, a genuinely strong six-core CPU, and a price that matches the measured tier. The 4GB VRAM and 32GB RAM are the binding ceilings for heavier use. For a budget 1080p gaming-plus-work machine, the data supports this one without exaggeration.
