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!

AmEx offer page says it's only valid for online and phone orders only, which I'm not sure what the difference would be between chat and phone as both are manual orders.

When people are saying it's not upgradable they're referring to the case right? What would stop you from putting the parts in another case and upgrading later?
If someone could explain I'd appreciate it so I know going forward. Thank you
If you want to do an upgrade you'll need a new motherboard, case, and power supply.
It's not necessary to upgrade if you are in the market for a computer this is an AMAZING buy but it's going to sell out very quickly. Resale value is $1500 at least.
Also not sure if the 3200 for $50 is worth it. Someone on the other thread mentioned a specific RAM that works well though apparently there's an AMD version that is supposed to be a little better https://www.dell.com/community/Al...-p/7534537 [dell.com], though I see ~$190 for 2x16GB for Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro AMD CL 16-18-18-36 CMW32GX4M2Z3200C16. Probably other cheaper DDR4 RAM will also work fine, I think I recall reading someone mention $125 for 2x16. Maybe upgrade to 16 3200 now and then add another 32 later? Any thoughts from someone with more experience?
Not sure if it's worth paying extra $80 to get the liquid cooling when the pc actually will be on sale for $1199 tomorrow (that's if I can get it.)

With as many they have sold early, I wonder how many they will have tomorrow anyway
