This is about what it would cost to buy all the components yourself and assemble. Additionally, Alienware use proprietary motherboard and PSUs so upgrading would be difficult. However, since this is pretty top notch components, you probably won't need to upgrade for 5-7 years.

I would say this is a decent deal if you don't want to bother building yourself or care about upgrading.

100% correct, very proprietary, so hard to upgrade or change components.

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.

None of your scenarios make any sense. Since when do you have to buy RAM from Dell? I put RAM from Amazon in my Aurora R13. Works great.

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.

Cards promos. Potential cash back
Chase 5%. $69
Bofa 5%. $69
AMER $599 offer $120
Cash back site 10%. $276
Dell coupon 10%. $307

Before any cash back: $3,072.55
Total cash back: $841
Total after all said and done $2231.55

I don't have the Dell coupon but I signed up for it, if I get it. Anybody have one and no use for it?

The cash back site I activated and it's saying "10% activated" I don't know if it will be full 10%…

I just pulled the trigger on $2793 (with tax and the 10% new customer coupon) minus $120 Amex for a total $2673. Not sure what site offers an additional 10% off. Here is a decent review of this box: https://youtu.be/w8kprUGy57E

The only concern I always have with Alienware is I *think* they use a proprietary motherboard/case so you won't be able to upgrade them ever.
I have an Alienware and have never once had an issue upgrading anything that I wanted to upgrade (RAM, GPU, storage, etc)

I figured it out, you have the option to add multiple payment methods to the checkout, so you basically add one card for X amount (to match the promo), then the other card with the rest... Hope this helps!

Select multiple cards… and split the price… like 700$ with amex if you have the offer for 120$ and the rest with chase for 5%. Note that you need to select the offer before using the cards

Chase Freedom doesn't give 5% cashback on Dell this quarter though. Wonder which Chase CC you're referring to?

Original $2,899.99
After applying a 15% targeted coupon from Dell, the price drops to $2,464.99.
Subsequently, with a cashback (CB) of 10% or an effective 15% when considering the value equivalent to a flight ticket, the cost reduces to $2,095.24.
Further deductions through a $120 Amex offer applied three times bring the price down to $1,735.24.
Finally, utilizing $200 Amex Dell credits three times lowers the total to $1,135.24.

Final Price: $1,135.24 + Tax, with an additional benefit of earning 3% in 7,395 rewards points, equivalent to $70 redeemable at Dell in the future.


Given this pricing, should I proceed with the purchase? Probably not. I'll likely wait for the 5090 model, anticipating a price around $1,000 in the future.

The primary motivation for purchasing a Dell Alienware would be its price-to-value ratio.

What do you mean adding Amex multiple times?

Like:
1. $590 = $120?
2. $599 = $120?
3. $599 = $120 ?

Amex gives you statements for each?
Using one Amex credit card?
