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.
R10 Specs (Updated 11/2020; Also attached to post): https://dl.dell.com/topicspdf/ali..._en-us.pdf

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!

Just call Dell about this offer, you could also do customization when making order
now, that's different than if the price were to fluctuate heavily (say, between 600 and 1000 with the average being 800), and it's only been $800 for a short period of time. if it then drops down to $700, while that's still below average, the high variance would suggest that you could do better.
it doesn't HAVE to be below MSRP for it to be a deal, because basic economics (supply vs demand) will trump any MSRP.
so my point is that prices and "deals" are relative. similar to the way stocks or assets work. if someone tried to sell you a bitcoin for $10k in 2013, you'd say they're nuts, and you wouldn't buy it. but if someone tried to sell you a bitcoin today for $10k, you'd still say they're nuts but you'd buy it in a heartbeat.
you can stick to your understanding of economics if you want, but if you're trying to purchase something that's in extreme demand and low supply at the price that YOU deem fit, then you might end up waiting for quite some time. not that that's wrong, but that's just the reality.
and you calling all the components essentially garbage does not detract from the fact that anyone can have an excellent gaming experience with this pc at this given price.
The retail price for a 3070 is the same price that it has always retailed for and will continue to retail for unless it gets cheaper. YES i know tariffs happened and the price technically did go up but that's a completely different and entirely unique situation. Asus, EVGA, nvidia themselves, and any other brand HAS NOT increased prices due to supply and demand.
Stop talking about economics when you are completely clueless. Consumers are not setting the market price for these cards. Whatever you want to pay after market from a third party unauthorized vendor is simply for convenience or just idiocy.

Whatever price you can buy a 3000 series card for right now with immediate availability is the current market price. That's the price at which supply and demand have reached an equilibrium and the cards don't sell out immediately.
The true inefficient, non-free-market determined price is the MSRP, which is so much lower than demand dictates that it sells out literally faster than a human not aided by a computer can purchase. That is not the market price, unless you're really able to buy as many cards as you want for that price - in which case, if you are, let me know and I'll pay you a 10% markup/profit on literally as many of those cards as you're able to get me for the 'market price'.
Literally read this: https://www.investopedi
"The market price is the current price at which an asset or service can be bought or sold. The market price of an asset or service is determined by the forces of supply and demand. The price at which quantity supplied equals quantity demanded is the market price."
The price at which there is sufficient quantity to supply to meet quantity demanded == market price. MSRP is so low that there isn't remotely close to enough sufficient quantity to supply to meet quantity demanded. The real market price is the eBay price. Learn some economics yourself before blasting others for not understanding economics, buddy.

The problem is after 6 months or so, there should be much better deals available.

I logged in to my Dell.com home account from mobile phone. Clicked chat icon from mobile Dell website and referenced the deal door buster link.
Thanks! Gladly pay an extra $50 for not waiting for a loading page and similar heartache. I still have PTSD from all my PS5 attempts.
too many things are squeezing a single foundry to make their chips, plus the stupid trade war with world's largest manufacturering country, no way it is going any better soon.
I was just able to order for $1230 as well. I just said I wanted to upgrade the cpu to water cooled, and the rep said
"Dark Side of the Moon chassis with High-Performance CPU Liquid Cooling and 550W Power Supply"
and it came out to the $1230 price
