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.

I have only received less than three in many years.
The current one got from this month expires May 24.
Like:
1. $590 = $120?
2. $599 = $120?
3. $599 = $120 ?
Amex gives you statements for each?
Using one Amex credit card?
But others can use 10% coupon, and the idea of leveraging Amex offers in conjunction with cashback (CB) is helpful for credit card churners.
Years ago, I got an Alienware from Dell with better offer stacked 10% + $120 Amex offer + $200 credit for each of three cards. The CB was also higher at 15% (22.5% when applied towards flight ticket purchases).
This R15 only supports 2 RAM with max of 64GB, which is a downgrade, so I'll wait.

Add in $75 of dell rewards too. I should have bought my ecobee premium from them not last week. But no sense of returning it since I used a 40 off of 200 dell Amex offer.

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.
