Just a heads up that a few months ago you could get this with a 1660 Super for only $50 more. You're probably going to get a lot of thumbs down.

I'm out of the loop as far as wifi; haven't researched WiFi 6 yet. Is there that much of a difference between the 1650 and 1650i? Thanks in advance

I believe you are talking graphics cards and Wi-Fi cards. Like apples and oranges, though neither is edible (unless you are a large lizard, perhaps).

Oh I thought he was referencing the WiFi since the specs state AX1650i and he mentioned a 1650.

Anyone know if this case is big enough to fit a full sized video card?

Thanks. I figured so. I'm not a gamer but I want something that will last a few years. Just wanted to see what the consensus would be.

I bought a similar config a few months back, only I had a 2060 super in mine along with some extra storage. The cooler the Dell uses is insufficient and I had temp problems, CPU ran around 60 to 70 during idle times and would run up to 90 to 100 under any type of load. I replaced the cooler and was able to get temp significantly down.

Yes, should be, but if your buying a nice big video card, you can probably do better with one of the other bundles - like this one https://deals.dell.com/en-us/productdetail/bcfs (25% off) or this one https://deals.dell.com/en-us/productdetail/bcfy (29% off)
