Not considering the thermal issues with case, you can probably build a comparable build for around the same price. You can find a deal on a 3080 currently for around $800 and you can find cpu aroung $300. That leaves roughly $500 for case, cooler, mobo ram and storage.

I have an Alienware computer for the past 5 computer and it always has over heating issues. Bad air circulation and it keeps thirmal throttling when I try to livestream. I have an GTX1080TI with an I7-8700k. Not OC. I tried to over clock a little, but it just made the system crash. I upgraded the fans to help keep the Temps down, but now I get a warning every time I start the computer. It doesn't like that I replaced the stock fans.
Also please not that MOBO, and PSU are proprietary and can't be put in other cases.

You want a different pre-built to make this okay, a non Alienware. I'm no anti Alienware but the aurora cases are noted to be very bad for thermals and as Dell uses a propriety motherboard that won't fit into another case easily, you can't e even buy this and put it all easily into a new case with better airflow.

I've had 1 dell xps, and 2 Alienware systems in the past, this time I went with cyberpower, picked the parts I wanted and had them build it and ship it over, I got lucky and didn't have to pay pandemic surcharges.. system is easily upgradable, better cooling, non proprietary parts.. for this kind of money.. get something with proper motherboard and psu..

It's not a terrible deal, there are just better options to spend your hard earned money on than a proprietary parts system that is not easily upgreaded it future. You will be stuck with this configeration on this computer till it dies. Zero upgrades in the future.
