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
Obviously clueless... Maybe heat issues with earlier models, but not this one. Year solid so far, but I have Intel version.

And the PSU uses a proprietary power connector to the motherboard. You can take your pick of two possible motives for that:
1) They wanted to save a few pennies by mass-producing a cheaper power cable.
2) They wanted to prevent people from using non-Alienware power supplies or motherboards.
Either way, the result is the same. You get screwed.

Where did you buy all the components?
Repped.
Curious what RAM you expected them to "shove" into the system and do you know whether the RAM has XMP profiles for overclocking?
On Dell's site, 1455 people out of 1735 gave it 5 stars. Does garbage mean something different these days, like how fat means good?
Curious which Alienware computers you've personally owned?
It's weird that every photo is a render though. The interior cable connections look fake and goofy.
