As someone who doesn't have experience with building computers, how easy is it to upgrade the memory on this? Any hardware restrictions that have to do with it being a Dell?

It looks like the graphics card goes for $500 on Newegg. (I only did a really quick search)
This looks like a good deal to me!

:

Any word on the power supply? Enough juice to upgrade to a 3060 Ti when they're more available?

The i5 would bottleneck the 3060. You'd need at least an i7, more ram, higher PSU, better cooling

NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super should be less than $220. That's the retail price from when it came out ~1.2 years ago.

Coupon still works as of this writing
Be aware the 360W PSU is customized non standard form factor, any PSU upgrade will not fit in has to use external attachment

Sorry just got coupon to work but I can't figure out how to upgrade to 16GB ram. :-( I see another comment that says not customizable. I'm using photoshop- not for gaming. Just wanted 16 gb ram.

Of all things, memory is probably the easiest hardware upgrade. Make sure you buy the right type and ground yourself before installing it. Check YouTube for how to
