If the rest of the deal is worth 900, then you're effectively paying close to a grand for a part that should cost 750. Still, factoring in the fact that it's a prebuilt takes the edge off a little, but Alienware has never been about the value proposition. So please, do your own independent research as well

Alienware customer service is very poor. I bought an Alienware computer in the past and regretted it.

Quote from DNAngel :

My buddy has a code for working for Dell to save 15% off (employees get 3 a year) do we suspect it'll be worth it then?

Sign up for their email through the Dell Home area and they'll send you a 10% off coupon.
10% --->> https://www.dell.com/preferences/...epp&~ck=mn

Sign up under their Work/Business site and they'll send you a 15% off coupon.
15% --->> https://www.dell.com/preferences/...bsd&~ck=mn

The coupons will only apply to carts under their respective section (i.e., you can use the 10% on Home Cart or Member Purchase Program Cart purchases, not on Work purchases, and vice versa).

Any suggestions for other pre-built PC vendors that sell easily upgradable PCs with 3080 or 3070 and name brand components for the important stuff? I'm starting to put the feelers out and looks like going pre-built might be a requirement to get these GPUs. Was thinking of just upgrading my GPU but the 4790k is getting long in the tooth too.

Cyberpowerpc had prebuilds for $1900.

They are oos now I think, but keep an eye they tend to come and go.
