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!

You guys calling them gotta stop repeating the stuff you read here. They are not advertising the $1230 price as coming with liquid cooling. Its probably a typo. When you ask for liquid cooling, they are probably assuming you mean a full water cooling kit for the whole system.

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.
simply put, this thread is one of the most popular/highly voted for a pre-built pc. you don't have to agree with it, that means more for others to enjoy.
Second one quoted me $1230 with the cooling upgrade without me even asking for it. Confirmed in order details. He auto-enrolled me in Dell rewards with % back too.

I'm just mad I didn't get it and got the "smart cooling" offered when i bought lol
I don't understand why there are so many inconstancies between sales reps.

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.investopedia.com/term...-price.asp [investopedia.com]
"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.
These cards are still being manufactured and sold at existing retail price. That's the market price. It's irrelevant what they are being sold on a completely different (after)-market.
