Meh. They just had this same set up with the 4090 for $2399 without the 10% off coupon.
Speaking from extensive research after getting really lucky on the 4090 setup at the exact same price, here are some suggestions:
Order a second SSD right away. That 1TB will fill up surprisingly fast, and you're going to want to reserve that first drive for your OS and go-to applications. After that, everything else can go on a second SSD.
For me, I'm going with a 4TB Western Digital (WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe™ SSD). From my research, it seems like this drive and the Samsung 990 Pro are the drives of choice. They are typically priced the same, with WD often slightly cheaper. Right now, the WD is $319, but if you get really creative with coupons and cashback, you can knock a full $100 off that price before taxes. I deliberated settling on a 2TB drive, but if you're paying $120-$150 for 2TB, why not just spend the extra $70-$100 and double your space? For me, it's a no brainer since I also edit video and have a huge Steam library for gaming.
Oh, also, don't forget to buy a heat sink to cool off these drives! I'm a sucker for RGB. If anyone has any suggestions on a cheap but reliable solution, I'm all ears.
For RAM, if you're looking to upgrade, I can only find one kit that seems to play nice with this particular motherboard (please please please correct me if I'm wrong on this). That is the Crucial Pro (Crucial Pro 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR5-5600 UDIMM
CP2K32G56C46U5). It's on sale right now for $140 through Amazon and Crucial. No real cashback opportunities that I can see. For that reason, I'm actually holding off and am going to watch the market closely. I don't see any major rush to upgrade from 32GB to 64GB. It may be fun to see a performance jump if/when I do finally upgrade.
Hope this helps. I've been very active in Reddit and here in the SD forums, trying best I can to get as much info as possible about these rigs.
Just the MOBO and PSU. Everything else is upgradable.
That's a bit disengenuius because gen 15 is not going to be backwards compatible with current boards. And being that this machine has a 14900 there is zero upgrade path in the future.
The case is also proprietary so it's not like you are going to be able to swap in a new motherboard.
The lowest I could get it to was $287.99, with the NVMESALE code; the other first-timer code only gave 10% for me and was applied to the MSRP. I think I'll wait a bit more, maybe for a deal on the 990Pro.
Judging from SD posts in the past, I think that's a good idea. I think I've seen both for about $240. Keep in mind there are cash back options out there too.

A 13900k or 14900k would last you at least 5 years with still good perfomance. Why would someone need to upgrade cpu yearly.

Ok pedant. What you state about the 15th Intel gen would be the case for literally ever other PC, so why bring it up?
The poster I replied to was asking about proprietary parts. I did not mention the case as I figured that was assumed since you can look at it and see it is custom.
Every other part besides the case, mobo and PSU is not proprietary. Is that better?
I'd probably get the Lenovo one also on the front page vs this one, despite this having higher performance parts. Because at the end of the day, you'd be getting a Dell. I don't enjoy my thought process, but Dell taught me as much.
Gigabit ethernet? I know it doesn't matter to most people but there are many people who have spent money upgrading and running cable to be at 2.5 or even 10gb networks... I just can't imagine less than 2.5gb "fast" pc such as a gaming computer anymore.
Seems like an older motherboard inside of this or else it would be a solid deal.
I have one gig and it's always been great for me. Any higher and they would have to add more cables. I was almost sold until the technician told me he was just going to run the cable all across my house and staple it to the ceiling. Hard pass.
Looks like a solid deal. After tax, CB, Coupons and credits looks to be about $1,880 for me when the dust settles. CPU & GPU + tax alone is pretty close to that.
They are referring to the 10% off coupon you can sign up for at Dell (first be a first time user), the Dell Credits they likely have from previous purchases (you should get roughly $70 in Dell credits if you buy this PC), along with Cash Back that I cannot mention or link here. But if you google Dell Cashback, hopefully you can find a site with 10-25% CB. I got $374 cashback for my purchase.

The previous 4090 deal also killed the 15% cash back for dell

You're thinking of Apple.

Valid point. Both are very comparable. Splitting hairs, but the Lenovo has a 4080, not a 4080 Super, and a 850w PSU, not 1000w.
That said, I'm there are pluses to the Lenovo. Does anyone want to chime in regarding the case, airflow and cooling, warranty, etc?
