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!

They changed back to $1199...good luck everyone!
You wanna hear something funny? I talked to a dell csr last night and said I wont be around on Thursday for this deal and if they would extend that to me today and they gave it to me last night for $1,230.00 (before tax) for the same system. So I already purchased it yesterday. I thought $30 over the deal price is fine. Now its cheaper than the deal price. Sick!
"the value of a used 3070 on the street is $800" you said earlier.
So a used 3070 on the street for $700 is suddenly a deal because they normally go for $800? This is the dumbest shit I have ever read. These aren't farking collectibles. This isn't a rare pokemon. More and more of the same exact thing will continue to be made and sold at a cheaper price. You are overpaying for convenience, not value.. Arguing otherwise is idiotic.
You are getting whatever proprietary garbage Dell throws in here to build at the cheapest possible cost. A last gen CPU that came out in July 2019. Only 16gb of ram that runs under 3000mhz. A random 500gb hard drive and some cheap piece of shit PSU that caps out at 550w. On top of this I'm sure it will encounter throttling issues and poor thermals because these prebuilt crap always do.
This is an awful computer, highway robbery.
