Quote from SuplexCity :
DDR5 as it stand now does not add any significant benefit over DDR4 in a lot of use cases specially gaming. Not worth the price hike at least for some more time.
Yes but you cant swap it in otherwise I'd just put the 64 gb of ddr4 ram I have laying around

I wonder if you'd be better off upgrading nvme drive separately. No info on the mb but I can't imagine there would be a modern board without an m.2 slot. An extra $78 to upgrade is a bit steep and you miss out on that 1tb hard drive. +127 if you want the dual storage.

Maybe it's just me, but they should be knocking down the price with some of those choices.

512GB NVME? Come on.

1TB NVME Gen 4 + 1TB SATA SSD should come standard at this point.

Cool way to passive aggressive telling someone google. lol

That "let me Google that for you" crap is so pretentious and unecessary. This person is perfectly in the right for asking questions here. That's what this is for. And who knows, maybe it would have opened up into a more helpful, personalized discussion than just sending someone off on a Google search.

Quote from b00gersugar :
motherboard would need to go to. it's proprietary form factor. you're looking at a minimum of $400 that you'd need to spend, since ddr5 motherboards are still expensive

From everything I have found it's m-atx. Prove me wrong.

It is uATX and you are correct. People sometimes try really hard to generalize all the Pre-Built based on one example. What can be proprietary is the Power Connector which sometimes does not use standard 24 pin connector. However, that's pretty easy to solve as there are plenty of Adapters available at very cheap price in Amazon or eBay for converting the standard 24 pin connector to a compatible Dell one.

Quote from iDeadlyy :
Dell is garbage. Don't get this unless you absolutely want/need a 3080. There is literally no other reason to buy this or any dell.

I feel like I legitimately got scammed with the Aurora R10. I had to heavily modify it (out of my own pocket) to make it somewhat decent. Beware.

I just bought an R10 myself. Can you please share my details on what was trash and what you modified?
