MSI GAMING TRIO GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB Video Card

In any case, some might have a 10% off AMEX benefit on their card for another almost $250 statement credit (I did).

Is Dell's motherboard lower quality than the low end board I included in the build? ASRock can make some good products, but I specifically went about as inexpensive and low end as possible.
As for the PSU, this should be it: https://www.dell.com/community/en...a8de1efdb9
That's for the 8950 (versus this 8960), but the PSU should be the same. If that's a terrible PSU for you, then don't buy the computer. You're welcome to build your own. I do, but that doesn't make this Dell a bad computer or a bad value. If you're worried, you can always put some of the cost savings towards an extended warranty if that helps you feel better.
