Most big name (Acer, Apple, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, ect..) budget pre-built computers like this come with propriety cases, PSU, and motherboards now a days. Everything else are standard size parts (CPU, drives, fans, graphics cards, RAM, ect..) and can be easily upgraded/replaced/swapped.

This Dell system would be a great fit, for home, office, students, coders, CAD, miners, video editors, graphic designers, and even casual gamers. Pretty much everyone except hardcore PC gamer enthusiast that like to build and maintain their own high-end $2000+ systems.

We have 3 of the G5 systems reviewed in that Gamers Nexus video. Ours have GTX1660 graphics cards, 10400F, 500w PS, 16GB ram, and a clean install of Windows 10. All are performing very well and we have not seen any heat or performance issues. My kids play the newest games on them daily (Doom Eternal, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Madden, HOI4, ect.) While simultaneously having YouTube open, a couple web pages, and messenger programs. I feel as though the build quality was quite good for the price I paid. I could not be more satisfied with our purchase.

If you are just an normal person (like 98% of the population) that wants to get a good deal on a good PC that will probably never be opened, and the only real maintenance you do is reinstall Windows ever couple of years to clean the system up. Then this system is perfect for you, and will serve you well for many years to come.

If you have a better deal on a pre-built system with similar or better specs available right now then post it.

Can anybody recommend a good and quiet cpu cooler for this one - it will be on 24/7 thanks!
Give this one a try, looks good: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1

I saw comments on a YouTube video and majority of the folks bought that and reported no issues with it. You can also search the Amazon customer reviews for other folks that used on the XPS 8940.

Good for mining crypto? Seems need to mine 2 years to pay off
Not good from a profit standpoint, but you could mine sparingly to earn back some money assuming your energy is free.

Ordered one yesterday together with the $99 monitor deal. Used two 120 off 599 American express offer. Hopefully $120 cashback will go through too. Did receive emails on all 3 $120 back confirmation. Depending on the market, might consider to sell the GPU.

This is very balanced system and you cannot find anything better at the moment. For same price, you can get HP pavilion with 3060, but only 6core Ryzen 5 and 8GB ram.

Got one 1200-150amx-110rak-32rewards=900$

If I can get back 600$ for selling the video card, net cost will be 300$ for the system. Seems pretty good deal.

Solid deal for those in the market for a gaming prebuilt. For those willing to take a chance, Newegg and micro center offer open box prebuilts at a steep discount. I just got my 3060ti rig for 1100, when shopping around I saw 2070s for 1100, and 3070 for 1300-1400.

Pretty good deal if you aren't too worried about upgrades later on.

I'm tempted to use my combined Amex benefits ($250) and sell the GPU and use this as a transcoding server or NAS or something in-between.

I can't find much on the motherboard, if there are any open ports - anyone got more info on that?
