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 build my own computers 99% of the time and always prefer custom building myself. but this is definitely a great deal at the moment. Even if all the parts were at PRE-tariff MSRP, it still wouldn't be cheaper to build.
Remember, the value of something is based on how much consumers are willing to pay for it.
If that's the case the lowest buy it now price on ebay is also a deal lmao

Also went through the 17R4 issue with thermal pads, but took it apart easily and it was rock solid until sold.
Oh and my xps 12 is still alive after 8 years, although the CPU is useless it's fine as a guest Netflix machine.
Also had an X51 with no issues.
Oh and I got my ex a XPS 13 which needed a battery replacement that went bad, so they replaced the whole laptop.
Just my personal luck I suppose. And the other guys personal badluck. Shouldn't generalize either way 😛
Come to think of it, I'm a Dell fan.
TIA
