Dell might have the best price we've ever seen for a prebuilt gaming PC equipped with a GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. Right now you can get a Dell XPS gaming PC with this coveted GPU for only $2294.99 shipped after a 10% off coupon code "10OFFCLEAR". RTX 4090 GPUs are currently difficult to find at MSRP; right now, a 4090 GPU on Amazon sells at a $300-$500 markup. If this is the GPU you really want, you will definitely save money by getting this prebuilt PC like this one instead of going the DIY route.

With current prices, you can build a comparable machine for about $2600 (plus money for Windows 11, a keyboard, and mouse). Dell's offering saves you about $300 over this:
Intel Core i7-13700 2.1 GHz 16-Core Processor
ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 72.8 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
ASRock B760M-H/M.2 Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
Crucial CT2K8G48C40U5 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR5-4800 CL40 Memory
TEAMGROUP MP33 512 GB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
MSI GAMING TRIO GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB Video Card
Thermaltake Versa H18 MicroATX Mini Tower Case
Deepcool PX1000G 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Total for that build with current prices is $2636.75.

I built a new system and now everything costs more.....
My PS5 is enough.
I don't even PC game anymore.

The value of these components will be less than a self-build as there is no upgrade path for any of it. You can't reuse the case or carry over the power supply for a future upgrade. Dell will not send you a new bracket for water cooler heatsink to make it compatible w/ future sockets. Every component inside will essentially be single use. This adds up to hundreds of dollars of expenses on your next PC build (unless you just buy another prebuild).
I love my fractal North case. Good brand for those that don't love rgb.

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.
I've had Dell desktops with name brand mobos in them where Dell had the manufacturer leave off components. On one, Dell advertised a certain model of mobo, but was not exectly the same as the retail mobo I saw at the store.
First, 16gb ram, and the motherboard only has 2 ram slots (WHY microATX?!?!). You're gonna need at least 32gb if you want to do any sort of multitasking or like opening 41 Firefox windows like me (currently utilizing 24gb of 64).
Second, the hard drive is way too small. Many AAA games (that you'd need a 4090 for) these days are >100gb. Along with Windows, you'll only be able to fit 2-3 games on it. My previous rig had a 500gb SSD and I had to constantly uninstall old games to play new ones.
Dell charges an arm and a leg to upgrade these, ($300 for a 2tb nvme, $450 for 64gb of ram?!), which you can buy yourself for roughly half the price. As others have already posted, the rest of the components are highly proprietary and usually very low quality (they don't even list the model number in the specs), which makes upgrading or even replacing certain components a nightmare. If you're tech savvy enough to do this on your own, you'd probably be able to build yourself a much better machine for just a few hundred dollars more if you are scouring PC hardware deals. Dell is putting the 4090 carrot on a stick and baiting people into overpaying for basic QoL upgrades.
Finally, you don't *have* to buy a "gaming" case with a tempered glass side panel. There are many muted case options if you're seeking a sleek professional look, and not have to compromise on cooling. Check out the Fractal Design North or beQuiet! cases for example.
The value of these components will be less than a self-build as there is no upgrade path for any of it. You can't reuse the case or carry over the power supply for a future upgrade. Dell will not send you a new bracket for water cooler heatsink to make it compatible w/ future sockets. Every component inside will essentially be single use. This adds up to hundreds of dollars of expenses on your next PC build (unless you just buy another prebuild).
After that time, reusing the power supply or case should be of minimal concern.
