Also check Amex offers as there are currently $120 off $599 deals out at Dell. Dell allows you to split payment as well if you have the offer on multiple cards.

Anyone know if the card is LHR? Some Dell desktops point out 3060ti LHR or 3070 LHR, this one does not mention LHR on the 3060TI though

Very solid deal, hoping for an i5 / Ryzen 5 version of this on Black Friday for cheaper.

This specific i7 runs really hot and I don't want to do cooler/fan replacements on this case.

Would have been great with liquid cooling, cooling shows once you add in cart still I am not sure about this one if I should get this one

After adding the PC to the cart is says "Dark Side of the Moon chassis with Low-Profile Smart Cooling CPU Heatsink and 1000W Power Supply." Since there was no upgrade option for a liquid cooler, you are stuck with the extremely noisy low-profile air CPU cooler.

I need just the system and not the video card (not a gamer and have a couple older cards that will serve me fine for productivity). I see tons of 3060 Ti and 3070 for sale on eBay, but the price range is all over the place. How do I tell which variant of the card the system comes with? Thanks!

Dell customer service via chat says online you can split in two, but if you use chat you can split in three. So if available, you could do something like DPA (with rewards money) + two other credit cards each with Dell benefits (such as Amex Business Platinum $200 statement credit or offers (such as Amex Platinum $120 statement credit on $599 spend) or whatever you have / are offered. + cash back sites.

I realize for $50 you can add a 2 tb HDD but I think it's ridiculous even at $1400 all you get is a 512 gb SSD (and is it an m.2 or 2.5" sata SSD?). That will be full after three AAA games.

Not to mention this is the low base clock i7, I'd much rather see the unlocked i5-11600k in this for gaming purposes (better single thread performance). That's just me, personally, and I suppose the i7 is appropriate for the price.

Overall I think this is around $100 more than it's worth but there's the Alienware tax. With some cashback offers if you could get it for net ~$1100 it's a deal.

Not much of a deal for a desktop at these specs. Even before BF there have been lots of deals better than this.

Need this with a 3080 and 32GB RAM.... Are they shipping to all states again or still limited dues to environmental legal concern?
