For those thinking you need 750w for "future" GPU upgrades. Tell me what is the tdp of a 1070 vs 2070 vs 3070 vs 4070. Does your statement really make sense. Do you really need an extra 200 watt PSU...do you know how to calculate the PSU draw on a system? It's really not difficult.

Even if you have no clue, you can use the power of the Internet to learn. Believe it or not it's not there just for porn and looking at Taylor Swift gossip

Not 100% true, but even if it was, they would have replaced the PSU along with the MB.

Quote from brianS8024 :
Can you set up 2 monitors on the costco one ?
Not obviously. It has only one Displayport connection, and the USB C port is not video capable. It's possible you could do it with MST, but that might require specific monitors.

ETA: Looks like MST is a valid way to do it [dell.com].

Any faulty component in the board itself or cards plugged into the board can be the actual root cause of electrical damage. e.g. if a Voltage regulator on the motherboard is bad then it doesn't send the right voltage to circuitry which can cause damage. Thats a common cause of such failure.
A normal amount of power from a properly working PSU can cause the board to fail if the board has a circuit failure.
​So no, a fried board is NOT always the result of a PSU problem.

I've been out of touch with m.2 storage speeds and stuff. Is the m.2 this comes with among the faster out there these days or is there an inexpensive upgrade that would boost performance significantly?

I would ask what you're doing with this computer that typical M.2 speeds won't be fast enough. The fastest NVME drives currently available can hit 7GB/sec write speeds with PCIe gen 5, but for most people it really won't make much of a difference.

ETA: PC Mag reviewed this desktop last year [pcmag.com], and in the PCMark 10 Storage test, it finished mid-pack at 2477. Not sure how that number relates to real-world performance, but the fastest machine in the comparison was 3351, slowest was 2169.

Do you know the spec of the one that comes in this system? Is it 3rd gen? I'm using it for video editing and transferring large files

see the link I posted in the "ETA" of my previous response. I would assume it's 4th gen.

Quote from wherestheanykey :
It's an 80Plus Platinum rated power supply. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

If you don't understand the difference, you're probably used to overbuying wattage on an 80Plus Bronze.

That's fine, but your electric bill would appreciate the Platinum.
Quote from wherestheanykey :
Your interpretation is flawed.

An 80Plus Platinum is more efficient at power conversion, thus less overhead wattage (the peak wattage stated on the package) is required to meet the needs of the system.

That correlation in efficiency translates regardless of how much power is being used.

The takeaway here is that less overhead wattage is required to meet the needs of the system. Thus, there's less wasted power overall.

If you think the difference is negligible, you're probably not paying your own electric bill.
You make a false assumption and then exaggerate the benefits of that assumption. Your statements have nothing to do with the hard reality:
  1. There is no evidence that this is an 80 PLUS Platinum PSU. 99.9% it isn't. And we can stop the discussion here.
  2. In the very remote chance that it is, for any home PC user in the US who has the means and the time to sit at a $1000 PC with a mid-range graphics card and play computer games, the real difference in the electric bill specifically due to using a more or less efficient PSU will be inconsequential.
  3. And to realize the benefit of a potential difference, you do pay for it upfront (to get the better rated PSU). Once you amortize that over a potentially short life of your CPU, it's hardly worth the effort.
If you really "paid your own electric bill", you would know. it's a First World problem that doesn't really exist.

I had similar one with 12700. Most of internal components are custom and cannot be replaced down the line
Dell doesnt support cpu upgrades even if intel allows it. I couldnt install 13 gen when it came out.
Motherboard is non standard size.
So buy it if you do not plan on upgrades.

Quote from wherestheanykey :
This case won't accommodate a 4080.

So you're looking at buying a new power supply, a new case, and whatever harness is required to get an off the shelf power supply to work with this motherboard.

That leaves less than $150 to offset the cost of the 4080, unless you really skimp out on the case and PSU.

I really think you'd be better off just going for a deal that already includes a 4080 or assembling something piecemeal.
Doesnt dell sell the 4080 and 4090 for this computer though?
