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!

As far as I know they have free return shipping labels, and the rep told me no restocking fees.
I was worried about the expandability of it, so I did some research; ton of YouTube videos on teardowns and such. Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOQoN_r
The tl;dr is
4 DIMM slots, only 2 are used (2x8gb) so expanding it isn't difficult.
3 2.5in slots (2 bottom, 1 in front).
1 NVMe slot on mobo (kind of a bummer)
Honestly much better than I expected, that's basically every upgrade you'd want on a pre-built. I doubt you can replace the video card in the case though, it seems to be very small (and so the video cards are custom built to be smaller by Dell)
The fans are;
1 fan on top (replaced by AIO cooler radiator/fan combo if you pick watercooling)
1 fan on front
Kind of lackluster, but it IS possible to remove the front 2.5in hard drive caddy and add another fan there, which is what I plan on doing.
Honestly, great deal, reading reviews on the case and expandability left me excited for the delivery. Which, according to them, is supposed to be in 2 weeks, since I am now a Dell Reward member (free shipping, expedited delivery, and sign up is free).
Some relevent threads, which are for R11, but also makes reference to the same XN205T-MIE shown in the video:
