"For those seeking to upgrade from the air-cooled model, there's a choice of standard liquid cooling or an Alienware Cryo-Tech™ edition liquid cooler—available for the first time on a desktop."

I have to disagree Lenovo is commie spyware trash. Its cheaper but Lots of bloatware.
You are describing microsoft.

China is more fascist than communist at this point, just like us!

You can and should just reinstall the os when you get the system.

Quote from Philsaurus :
Add code GAMING10 to drop the subtotal down to $970.19!

I'm not a PC gamer, so I can't say for sure. But just based on the components I think the deal is slick.
$300 Nvidia graphics card
$300 CPU
$100 PSU
$100 Memory and storage

That's $800 in components before you consider the chassis, motherboard, Windows 11, liquid cooling, keyboard, etc.

I think that's pretty good if you don't want to deal with building your own, or want to get a good gift for a teenager.
I don't think this has liquid cooling though, which leads credence to the people complaining about bad thermal or overheating issues.

My liquid cooled R9 has been awesome. Fans only kick on once in a while when things get really busy. I think you're doing yourself a disservice to write off Dell's. My machine has been fantastic for the last few years.
Everyone knows the worst of the worst is HP. I have not had any problems with Dell.

GamersNexus review aside, never buy an ATX sized tower with a proprietary power supply. It's okay to make exceptions for small form factor PCs. There's no good reason I've heard to make a full sized PC use a proprietary PSU and purchasing one sends the message that it's okay, which hurts the market. We moved on from that with PCs many years ago, leave that to Apple.

16 is good enough 32 is over kill
I would bring up that "nobody would need more than 640k of memory" thing, but it's a myth. Though the reason it's so strongly believed and widespread is because of just how silly of a thing it is to say. Overkill or not, there will be a time when 32 will be the bare minimum. Why not futureproof yourself? Hell, I remember when people were saying 2gb is overkill, yet here we are with video cards that have more vram than midrange systems.

You like it, buy it. Don't listen to these people. I'm personally building every one of my pc but my budget is different. "900 bucks I need 3090 and 6666 GB of ram this deal aint good!! it's a hot box!" blah blah blah. do you live in mid west or in floriduhh?

there are other factors to consider. The small PSU will limit u for upgrade later, and I don't know the detail of this pc if u can toss in a new psu but that would be my only concern.

I can't be wrong. They put themselves on display everyday and you just joined the chorus.

At this price, you should expect 32gb or 16gb with 3070
I paid 1200 for r11 system last year at thanksgiving, new generation processor and better look system. It was 16gb as well. 900 for this system it's very cheap
