I'm looking to use this for gaming and youtube video editing. Will it support 2 monitors? Can I upgrade components (video card) later?

Looks like a decent deal. The i7 and 32 GB of RAM make this good for multi tasking.
To echo what some of the reviews have stated, the CPU cooler is very weak. And case cooling leaves a lot to be desired. The CPU cooler can be replaced for less than $50, and a case fan can be fitted up front as well. Neither modification is straightforward, but they are not bad and there are plenty of walkthroughs out there. Otherwise, a decent deal.
Can anyone that has bought this confirm whether the card is LHR?

If you price out parts... you're approximately getting the 3060ti for manufacturer list

So, if the 3060ti and processor fit your desires, it really isn't a bad deal.

Nice deal, been looking at the 8940 Special Edition all last week since it had the TI.

SE deal is $1,470. It has the same specs as the costco other than faster ram (2933mhz vs 2600mhz) and a larger SSD (1 TB vs 512gb). Oh and the SE won't ship until Dec 20th.

$170 difference and you get it nearly a month earlier.

Last week's Alienware R12 TI deal for $1,372 had half the RAM (16gb) and no secondary 1TB drive.

You can get basically the same thing at Dell for around $1324 with coupon code DPA10 (requires Dell financing). You only see the discount in checkout after selecting Dell financing as the payment. The one at Dell also has a 1TB SSD drive and includes a Bluray drive instead of DVD. Plus 8% CB is available along with Amex offers.

I can't get ​DPA10 to work with it even selecting financing. Talked to Dell support they said it won't stack with the $630 discount already on it.

How'd you get this to stack?

Try adding an expensive Alienware laptop that is not a part of BF sales to the cart with DPA10 and checkout. If you see the discount then remove the laptop and the discount should still show for the desktop.

Obviously. But it's pretty customary to put them in the OP, and makes life a little easier for everybody. Nobody wants to click through every link on SD to find out specifics of every item.

We only have to click on the offers were interested in. Sometimes we have to do things ourselves. Probably took more time to write asking for the specs than it would have taken to click the link.

He's new... not about my time, trying to help with a suggestion. If you're going to take the time to post, at least make an effort of it. No need for lazy posts. You click all the links you want.
