It depends on the GPU. Most of the board partner (made by companies other than Nvidia or AMD) 40 series cards won't fit because they're too big for this case. You also can't swap it over to a different case, because the motherboard, case, and power supply are all proprietary. You'd also have keep an eye on your power limit, as 750W will be really pushing it close with a higher end GPU and a 13700k. The RX 6700XT is already a more than capable GPU, anyways. It's plenty for 1440p high settings. If I had a 6700XT (I have a 3080), I personally wouldn't upgrade it right now. Also, keep in mind that these cases are basically hotboxes, and will run hot and loud. Dell PC's are also intentionally made with proprietary parts to limit upgradeability, so customers buy a new PC instead of upgrading. The only parts that are upgradable are the CPU, GPU, and RAM. The motherboards BIOS is also locked down and will run the RAM at a lower clock speed if you upgrade the RAM to anything but the make and model of RAM that it comes with (to try and force you to buy the RAM from Dell). Slower RAM reduces gaming performance by quite a bit on Intel's 13th gen, so you don't want that. You can buy it elsewhere, but you're limited to a specific model of Crucial RAM. If your intentions are to upgrade, you're better off with PC's that use standard parts, like Lenovo Legion, CyberPower, etc. Or, you could build your own. It's really much easier than you would think. Picking parts on PCPartPicker, a few minutes on YouTube, and a Phillips #2 screwdriver is all you need. I built my first one when I was 14 with no prior knowledge before YouTube was really an option, and it only took me about 2 hours. It's just a handful of screws and everything else plugs in.

Downgrade memory to 8gb for 100$ less, use amex 120 off 599, 2 extra hilton points (amex offer also), plus your fav cb site

Edit: found a 5% cb via Citi cards (double cash card) so plan is to split payment for 599 to dell and rest going to doublecash card.
Also 6% Dell rewards for those who have Dell Rewards account.

Anyone know when the SAVE10 code expires? I'm holding off buying, thinking maybe comes this week memorial holiday, the cb from r10 might increase.
Edit: Looks like SAVE10 expires in an hour, 4PM EST 5/26.

Don't know if they have fixed the issues with the XPS line. I have an XPS-8940 with a 3060 it's been a buggy nightmare. I won't ever buy an XPS again because of this one. After 18 months of ownership I think they finally have patched it enough where it doesn't freeze up and have to be rebooted daily. I am now going on just over a week since the last lockup.

That's funny as the one I bought my son has worked flawlessly for the last 18 months or so.
