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.

The 3060 is fractionally better than the 2060 Super, in fact, it really depends on what you are playing. In some games, the 2060S is faster than the 3060. It's almost a wash between the two.

Dell won't ship some Alienware desktops to California because of energy consumption.

"This product cannot be shipped to the states of California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont or Washington due to power consumption regulations adopted by those states. Any orders placed that are bound for those states will be canceled."

We ordered three in three different orders (different names and different credit cards for Amex statement credits) but under the same business account. The coupon applied to all three 8940's.

the 11th gen CPU is limited to 3200mhz.

So can I replace the current 16GB 2933mhz with 2*16 3200mhz ?

the chipset is H470 but it says the memory speed is limited by the CPU not the chipset. is it correct ?

Thanks OP. This is replacing a frankensteined ASUS desktop I bought 11 years ago, that literally the only original parts on it are the case and the mobo.

Yes I know this new one is much more proprietary, but I'm only using it for some light gaming (pinball, some older games like Hydro Thunder etc) and a plex server.
Plenty of USB ports for my external usb3 hard drives and love the graphics!
Excited to upgrade after a decade lol.

Must be luck of the draw. I ordered July 10th and mine still hasn't shipped and still shows an estimated ship date of Aug 2.
