Dell might have the best price we've ever seen for a prebuilt gaming PC equipped with a GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. Right now you can get a Dell XPS gaming PC with this coveted GPU for only $2294.99 shipped after a 10% off coupon code "10OFFCLEAR". RTX 4090 GPUs are currently difficult to find at MSRP; right now, a 4090 GPU on Amazon sells at a $300-$500 markup. If this is the GPU you really want, you will definitely save money by getting this prebuilt PC like this one instead of going the DIY route.

If the GPU is worth the $1600 MSRP (it's not, unless you are making money with the GPU, but that's where the market is currently), that puts the rest of the computer at $700. That is assuming you can buy a 4090 for MSRP, which isn't possible very often. You're looking at maybe $1800 minimum.

With current prices, you can build a comparable machine for about $2600 (plus money for Windows 11, a keyboard, and mouse). Dell's offering saves you about $300 over this:

Intel Core i7-13700 2.1 GHz 16-Core Processor
ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 72.8 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
ASRock B760M-H/M.2 Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
Crucial CT2K8G48C40U5 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR5-4800 CL40 Memory
TEAMGROUP MP33 512 GB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
MSI GAMING TRIO GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB Video Card
Thermaltake Versa H18 MicroATX Mini Tower Case
Deepcool PX1000G 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Total for that build with current prices is $2636.75.
I used to be a builder, now I'd go pre-made. Time > Money
some say this is ugly, but the RGB puke on every "gaming" PC looks ugly to me. This is a good deal for what it is. Can't build it cheaper.

So you don't have a 4090 in yours but you have an opinion? Dell isn't doing to sell a PC that is going to crash due to lacking power or cooling... ASUS is much more notorious for that these days. The first thing wrong with this machine is only having two memory slots. The second is that it's not a K processor, which is just what you get with an XPS. The gains you get from overclocking isn't so much so as to make it a deal breaker. Also, yes, I did upgrade my PSU in my last system to a 1000w without cooling modifications when I put a hungrier GPU in it. Never had any issues. The cooling designs in the upper end dell systems are not just some fans thrown in a box.. Quit with your fud campaign.
I'm confused because in another post you said:

"I put my last XPS machine in a NZXT case, upgraded the power supply for an upgraded video card. Upgraded..."

So you didn't just "upgrade my PSU in my last system to a 1000w without cooling modifications"...you put the guts in a new case (why?) and then added a PS and "hungrier GPU"???

Hopefully that "hungrier GPU" is a 4090, else I have no idea why you even thought you had a reason to have an opinion (to quote yourself).

Absolutely. Just give me a cheap case with airflow. If they still had Packard Bell cases that fit modern hardware I'd buy it. I don't need lights or glass windows. Just work.

It's most likely Della's own psu

Also

The newer Dell has their own shape… not traditional mobo shape

SD has become nothing but trolls going into a thread showing how superior they are for not buying the deal they clicked on. I remember when thread crapping was greatly frowned upon, now it's the norm.

Bank of America has 5 percent cash back (up to $100) on some of their Visa cards for Dell purchases. I used this since I had no Amex offers

Exactly the reason why I bought this machine a month ago (with 10% sign up coupon instead of the current one). Maxed out the ram at 64 gb. Very happy with the purchase, exceptional performance without the hideous RGB lights that seem to come pre-packed with any decent pre-built with a gpu carrying adequate vram.
I just got the email that mine shipped!

13th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-13900K processor (24-Core, 32MB Cache, 3.0 GHz to 5.4GHz)

NVIDIA(R) GeForce RTX(TM) 4090 24GB GDDR6X

32GB DDR5, 1x32GB, at 4800MHz; up to 64GB (additional memory sold separately)

512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive

They wanted too much to increase the ram and nvme so Amazon has already delivered the Samsung 990 Pro 4 TB and another stick of 32 GB ram.

FedEx says delivery won't be until Monday Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

DDR5 runs more stable and at higher speeds in 2 slots. You run the risk of DDR5 running at slower speeds when using 4 sticks.

Of course, ymmv as my DDR5 6400 is running stable for me.

It doesn't take that long to build a machine.

I bought a prebuilt HP machine during 2020 when the only way to get a decent card was to buy a prebuilt. First machine i bought or built since intel 6th gen. I could not upgrade the memory, cpu or add in a second NVME due to motherboard limintations. it was extremely frustrating. ended up just replacing it with an older gpu and sold the machine for cheap and built my own. If there wasn't a gpu shortage i would have been really frustrated with my decision.

Good deal if you can sell the thing for over $800 after you take the 4090 out.

Certainly wouldn't use it as is. Cooling looks bad, probably gets throttled. Also needs more RAM and more SSD space if you want it to last a few years.
