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 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
Was originally intending to build a PC, but at this price, It's probably better to order this than camp outside Micro Center all night hoping to get a 3060 at launch.

Because that's exactly what the rep sent me before quoting me the $1230 price

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.

Thx OP and thx to those who provided the tip about the chat. Well worth the slight premium for me.
