I would say this is a decent deal if you don't want to bother building yourself or care about upgrading.
If you have a Microcenter close to you, you are way better off getting a custom system for roughly the same price.
Also, if you want this for gaming, you are way better off with a 7800X3D vs. the 7950 in this unit. If you are getting this for a creator PC with no intention of upgrades besides memory later, this is fine.
Why can't you upgrade to a 5090 or 6090? It's a card. Take out the old, put in the new.
Your comment about MB or PS makes no sense. What are you trying to say? I didn't say you can't upgrade either...I said you won't have a need to for years and by then you're going to have to buy newer parts to go with that new MB anyways, so might as well buy a new system.
If you're a tinkerer, then sure, go buy 20 parts from 20 different manufacturers and tinker away. Most people don't want to do that. I, like many, prefer having all the parts under one warranty that can be repaired quickly.
FWIW, I was building computers probably before you were born. I know a thing or two about the pros and cons of building vs buying prebuilt. You can have an opinion about what YOU prefer, but blanket statements that nothing can be upgraded is pure misinformation.

Save yourself the hassle and money. Build your own
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank
You can bring your own parts, but I think they charge more for building it.
You can also select any of their pre-builts, but I like to have complete control over what goes into my custom system.

CPU is 500-530…psi, ram, motherboard, cooling equipment, and cabinet are hard to find under
Building means chasing down RMA for parts the do not work or do not fit. Not having spare parts around to troubleshoot when something doesn't work, and of course not have the experience to know what could be wrong can be very painful, Google and Youtube can only get you so far when it doesn't boot. This is why I would recommend working with someone that has built a bunch of PCs and has those resources.

I also wouldn't say Alienware is known for using "top notch components" as the other user stated, and they haven't received great reviews in recent years from reputable sources, like Gamer's Nexus. Sure it's better than standard desktop components from OEMs, but that isn't saying much.
These machines are laden with relatively cheap and propriety OEM parts. I could build something with actually premium components for the same price that will outperform this and last much longer. In fact, if I emphasized cooling and went with a 4080S instead, it may run faster than this machine with a 4090 in real world use, and easily be $1k less all in.
If one doesn't know how to build, go into a microcenter and ask for help.
A good PRICE for this machine OP, but not a good VALUE IMO.
Is it fun? The first few times, IF you're into that stuff. My daughter has no interest in building one, so an Alienware was perfect for her.
Plenty of things can be upgraded on this prebuilt -- CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD, and WLAN card.

When you buy a high-end system like this, what is it that people upgrade that can't be upgraded here?

Because if you mean most expensive parts you can find as "top notch components", your DIY costs will be much higher than this deal.
No one talks about what happens when your MB dies or SSD dies or PS craps out? You have no system while you ship parts back, wait for warranty replacement and shipping back to you. At least with Dell, you get 1-2 day ONSITE repair and you're back up and running.
Please look at any Gamers Nexus, LTT, or other review of Dell/Alienware computer.
For your info, unless you buy from Dell directly, no you can't upgrade the Motherboard here, no you can't upgrade the PSU. Depending on what memory they put in it you may or may not be able to upgrade the Memory here without buying it directly from Dell.
You may upgrade once every seven years, but a lot of us upgrade much more regularly than that, especially gamers. I have a 4090 now, and I'll have a 5090 or 6090 next. I won't be waiting seven years to upgrade.
You may be TIRED of hearing it but it gets repeated because it's true. I was fair to this system. If you are a CREATOR, it will work well for you. If you are a serious gamer, I would pass.

Looks like build yourself maybe the answer, but any thoughts on:
AMD RX 7900 XTX at $2399
https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/d...aur15amd04
1TB vs 2TB, but not sure of everyone's thoughts on AMD.
Thoughts?

If you like to tinker with cars, don't buy a Tesla, right? It doesn't make Tesla a bad car, it's just not the car for people that like to tinker.
