When going through chat you can do various upgrades. Some of these are:
Keep the stock 550W PSU and add AIO Watercooling (+$50)
Upgrade to 1000W PSU and add AIO Watercooling (+$200)
Add Killer NIC Wifi 6 Wireless Card (~+$20-$30)
There's more upgrades available. See the non-deal version of the R10 for possible upgrades here [dell.com] and rough prices.

NOTE: Dell's Memory used in this system is a PROPRIETARY MODEL manufacturered by Kingston. As such, if you want more than 16GB, you'll likely need to either purchase more memory from Dell or replace all of the memory with retail memory; NO MIX OR MATCH.
See this post for Memory Info (Thanks quantecipher! Make sure to give them rep!): https://slickdeals.net/f/14826469-1200-begins-02-11-alienware-aurora-r10-desktop-3700x-rtx-3070-16gb-ram-512gb-nvme?v=1&p=1452
Stock Dell memory seems overpriced for what it is and many users highly suggest, if upgrading to 32GB, to buy your own 32GB kit that's compatible with this PC instead of buying 32GB through Dell. See post on memory again since not all memory modules are stable with the R10 system.
Hope that helps!

I guess I was thinking something like this.. but you know in stock and maybe even less expensive lol.

This is overpriced, but it's in stock and not the price of a car down payment. After selling the 3070, you'd have a great computer for productivity and it would still game at 1080p.
I hope I can get in and cancel my other one in time and before it ships...

Very similar to past Auroras. I don't see any issue with undegrading the ram, nvme, PSU and video card (in the future). Removing the 120 mm should provide more room for a longer video card. Also, Ryzens are not very OC friendly so the cheap oem mobo isn't that big of a deal IMO.
If you dont mind sharing, how did you fit a3070 into the R7 case? What model 3070 did you use?
TIA
I just found this on their website: https://www.dell.com/support/manu...lang=en-us
It's the B550A, the renamed B450.
edit: Proprietary x570

if you could literally not obtain an item at anything lower than, say, 20% above MSRP, then people will jump at the item at MSRP. if you don't think that's a deal and you'd rather wait, then you do you, but your opinion will not change the fact that demand is high and people will pay more.
If that's the case the lowest buy it now price on ebay is also a deal lmao
Not sure if this is a partner card or nvidia card, but I can update to reflect.
