Short answer : No.

Long entertaining answer: https://youtu.be/UnvxSkqJ8ic

My 2cents: Get individual parts and build your own. Don't go through the hassle I went through because I bought an Alienware. I ended up ditching the entire thing and taking only the GPU and CPU. Built my own.

I tried dell support to solve the stuttering/throttling problems I had due to their case being effectively a proprietary cheap oven. Their proposed solution? Lowering the graphics. The truth is that the only solution was to ditch Alienware. Alienware with liquid cooled CPU at + 90 C, GPU at +80 C.

With my DIY build, CPU and GPU are overclocked. CPU nor the GPU pass 70 C under stress tests. No stuttering or throttling while gaming or dumb issues like the Alienware had.

This computer is probably straight garbage I bought a very similar Alienware and it seems like a great deal until you actually look inside the motherboard is garbage and can't be used in other builds because the front connectors are proprietary. They use Intel mounting for CPU cooling for amd CPU the case has terrible airflow and also you can't use the case anywhere else due to proprietary power switch. Basically once you realize that all your parts are insanely hot your out a case motherboard. I recommend Lenovo they don't do that crap

With prices falling below MSRP, we've swung back into normalcy, where it's cheaper to build your own gaming computer than to buy a prebuilt. It's really not very challenging to build your own and there's lots of good videos and articles out there that will walk you through exactly how to do it. Also, it'll make it easier and cheaper to upgrade as time goes on.

Save 10% with email sign up code (use any email). Lot's of hate on Alienwares for propietary parts and overheating. Have they resolved the cooling with newer ones?

Price seems reasonable, but you can probably build it yourself. 5800X is around $200 and a 3080, pricing varies, but looks like you can get one as low as $800. That leaves roughly $500 for mobo, cpu cooler, ram, nvme drive, psu and case.

I'd assume this one is better than the HP at $1220?

Just scored a new Noctua NH-U12A chromax for my 7700x for $74. Depending on your usage, the DeepCool AK620, Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 or others should also work really well assuming you want an air cooler.
