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.

Do you understand what a AIO even is? There's plenty of people who run a 120MM AIO on high end processors including 5950X and 5800X3Ds.
Do you understand what heat capacity means? Do you understand what relocating what is essentially a heatsink into an optimal air location means?
I don't think you've ever used a 120mm AIO. I think you just spread misinformation and pose as someone who is knowledgeable.
How long does it take from ordering parts 'til finished?

How good of a deal is that? Don't think you can find a 3080 system with that, I do wish it had DDR5. I am actually in the beta trial for CS2 and maybe because its beta but I got 300+ FPS with a Ryzen 2700X and a RTX 2060 Super and now I get 120-225 fps...
When it comes to returns there is Amazon (doing it right) and Dell (makes life hell for the customer).
Good luck.

I called and said, "this is more expensive than I originally wanted, is there any price adjustments you can offer?". And was offered to place a different order for something that fits my budget. I didn't want to deal with it so ended there.
My order hasn't shipped yet and I'm not sure if that factored. The person didn't seem to have the authority for price adjustments.
My goal now is to let it get delivered and see if I actually like to against my 1080 ti. I ordered the 6900xt as well and see if the system can exploit resizable bar and play nicely with my Freesync 2 monitor. Gsync seems to drop connection when connecting with my dell s3220dgf monitor
