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.

I built PC's for over 20 years, and I gave it up, because I got tired of being tech support when it was an ID-10-T user software error. I was also the Dell tech that showed up to repair any of their warranty computers, desktop, laptop or servers. I finally broke down and bought an Alienware, I got tired of piecing computers together, even though they all still work. On my own builds, If I had a bad component, I would need to research and find the receipt, and then go through the RMA process. While I had other PC's and lots of spare parts, it was still a pain waiting, sometimes weeks, to get the replacement part. With Dell, I usually had the parts within 2 days, and the customer's PC was working in 3-5 business days.
Another thing I noticed in all of those homemade builds listed, they didn't include the price of the OS, so if you want a Legal copy of Win11, add an additional $150

Thanks for confirming you dont have a functioning PC from those part.
No shitte it isn't but that's a 7700X that'll blow the doors off the Zen 3 8 core. OEMs and SIs desperately trying to off load their overpriced 3000 series card but knuckle heads think it's a "SD".

lol I bought two i5's 8th Gen six core 1070 ti systems when they were still newish, i couldn't wait to throw those POS's out. Couldn't even sell them for 40% of what I paid not even a year later. You can upgrade almost nothing the air flow is trash, the gpu was shit. There was not one good thing about it, when the bios is locked down hard, ram runs at 2400. Please save your money, you can get a prebuilt from a much better company for a competitive price and believe me the performance and service life will be vastly better. Or you'll be better off burning your money to stay warm, although I suppose that pc will cause your home to overheat.

It's really not, if you bought absolute shit products like they did it will be cheaper. Even if you have to buy a 6800 / 6800xt to save 200$ for the same performance and you end up spending a free hundred more I can promise you that if you are not a fool, I will be thanked later. Go to another prebuilt company if you need to you don't want a locked down motherboard with low quality parts that will surely overheat. Just watch gamers nexus on Alienware's. Please do this before you decide, I care about you far more then Dell dose.
