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 wonder if they will do a price correction once the price drops to 1199 on the base unit?
thanks for heads up about the chat early access! thinking it might be hard to snag once the sale starts?
Now the only deal you can get is $1,229.99 for the doorbuster deal, $50 additional for the liquid cooling. Total $1,279.99
Not giving up. Got time on my hands. Will call over and over.
I will try like every other normie (lol) tomorrow for the $1200 price. If I get it, great. If I don't, $1310 before tax for a Wifi 6 version is still a Slick Deal these days!
The 3070 is 7% faster than the 3060-Ti: https://gpu.userbenchma
The thing to really consider is that the GPU won't be bottle-necked by either CPU so your max gaming performance will truly reside in which one has the better GPU... That is the Alienware.

I got an HP laptop, Z1000 I believe... Turns out they overclocked the GPU and it unsoldered itself from the motherboard. I spoke to an HP Rep I worked with at a government agency, he said their consumer products are garbage and he worked a deal to replace it with a compaq. Had a business class GPU... Didn't work well for gaming. I'll never buy HP again.
~$400 for a 3700X system to replace my i5-7400??
Sounds like a steal!
Else they'd be sold out of these RTX 3070s....
Right now you can get $8 a day mining with a 3070., power usage is like 31 cents day.
Literal money printer. Been mining with my 3080 and its been getting me $12+ a day alone and my 1660 Ti laptop, around $4 a day,
