FYI
Good idea to do a clean install of Windows every now and again. That's why Microsoft has made it so easy (Start > Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > "Reset this PC") and 20 minutes later you are good to go.

I just scratch my head when people dismiss the GN video as rubbish - everything they say is true - granted, not totally relevant to the average SDer, but definitely relevant for those who are in the business and in the know making recommendations to those not in the know. I just don't know why some people are advocating to actively dismiss the experts when there are no other counter points from reputable reviewers - if you can get around the issues with the build, great, but must most people won't even know there are issues, won't install a new OS, don't know how / want to swap out CPU coolers, etc. which is needed with this pre-built.
You're also right that if any SDer here is unwilling or incapable of swapping cpu cooler, other simple mods, or even reinstalling fresh copy windows then they may wanna think twice… about buying ANY PC lol. Probably better off with Mac.
for the "build your own" enthusiasts, yes this is poor quality, but if you need something to play games on, it's not a bad deal (especially with the amex $120 offer if it hasn't expired yet).
if you need upgradeability, look elsewhere, since it uses proprietary parts.
i'm also hearing that gpu prices are slowly starting to normalize. God knows how long before they're fully down to MSRP, but if all you need is a gpu or if you're trying to resell the gpu, might want to do a bit more research.
Look at Linus Tech Tips or Gamers Nexus about these machines. You don't need a lot of computer know-how for it, just see the conclusion or Dell specific sections on their prebuilts. Dell as a company and the way it treats its customers is a train wreck. Also, the computer, the parts, build quality, and fit and finish are in general terrible too.
Use, literally almost anyone else, if you're in the market for a prebuilt. It isn't even about how hard/easy it would be to source the parts, Dell is a complete no go and 100% stay away from.

Guess what, I'm mining now with this dell system for a month 24/7 and I swear I'll go to his YouTube next year and tell him my dell is still running and it has paid itself off.
He shows it with and without the preinstalled crap and performance that it eats up is massive and inexcusable.

Just make sure to do a clean reinstall of Windows to best use the new chip.
