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.

Well, its still a bit hard to price things because the OEM quality and features (or lack of) make it an apples to oranges comparison by default. But yeah, its perfectly reasonable to buy this machine, sell the gpu and buy a 3050 or 3060 or (maaybe a) 3070. I definitely don't think anyone should attempt a 3080 on this psu though. but I haven't done the math tbh.
Tried to upgrade the video card this past weekend.
1. EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING, 08G-P5-3767-KR - Will NOT fit. It's physically too long.
2. EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3 ULTRA GAMING, 08G-P5-3755-KR - Will fit, but it's a very tight squeeze. The card will not latch in the PCIE x16 socket, the metal backplate prevents the type of latch used on this motherboard from working. The backplate hits the latch, it needs a cutout to work. However, the card does seat all the way in and functions without issue. You may want to rig up some kind of support on the case lid, like a foam block that would prevent the card from rising out of the slot.
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 ?

Meh. Doesn't look like that's the case. 2060 Super is still decent, but quite a bit behind the 3060Ti. Not to mention, all 30-series will have much better ray tracing than 20-Series.

Compare it to this build and you get an extra 16GB (120) and an RTX3060 Ti
1100 + 120 = 1220, is the RTX3060 Ti really worth 380 more than the 2060? eBay has them selling for 1100, so that's right about even with this build value wise.
Dell is truly a warranty sales company. lol
Great peace of mind getting from Costco though. Wasn't even a bad price then either ($1,100: i7-6700K, 16gb RAM, 2TB HDD, GTX1070).
