Components most changed/upgraded are RAM, SSD and GPU. All of them can be upgraded in this Dell. Comes with a 4090 and a 1000W PS. Why change power supply? 5600 DDR5 is bad? Just looking at a $2800 Lenovo Tower 7i with same CPU and they use DDR5 5200. Your unsureness on the cooling doesn't instill confidence you know what you're talking about.

This is a tired conversation. You want to build from scratch, feel free. You think there is better pre-builts, then LINK THEM to them if you truly want to help people.

anyone have a ram suggestion from Amazon to upgrade this to 64gb total. Just want something that will be compatible and match the specs of what the system will come with. I have 48gb in my current machine and run 3 VMs 24/7 for work purposes. Thanks.
Take a look at this Reddit. Seems people who want 64GB have luck with the Crucial Pro 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR5-5600 UDIMM. It looks like it will run at 5200mhz

the charge was flagged by my bank. it went through a few hours later but I can confirm the 15% reflects in my CB account.
exact same thing happened to me. It will auto-charge again (attempt) at the 4-hour mark. I had this exact same thing happen two weeks ago on the R15 deal posted here. After I told my credit card the charge was not fraudulent a few minutes after they denied it, the second attempt 4 hours later from Dell went through no problem.

Dumb how they have now pre configured systems where you can only change like Windows Edition etc.. Me think they added this configuration the other day (where it made front page) with the wrong full retail retail price of $2799 (same config but with i9-14900KF and 2TB SSD retail $3699)

Quote from SupacatNV :
I just noticed that as well as after ordering, I checked for the same system, and they don't offer the same speced PC anymore. Talk about lucky :-)

Reflects as pending, or as completed? Mine showed up as pending.
I cant tell if its confirmed or pending. I just have an email saying "Cha-ching! CB just hit your account" with the 15% back value.

Thanks. So does this mean I would need to pull out the 2x16 that are coming in the system, and can't just ad 2 more 16gb sticks?

I pulled the trigger on this last night after contemplating it for way too long: got 6.5% CB, 10% coupon etc. card was declined but it was supposed to try again today.

Saw this today at $400 cheaper and 10.5% cash back, and called to cancel my order. Went to put it in my cart and it was no longer working as of that moment.

All in all I estimate my savings to be $2700 and just for a few hours of work which is pretty slick.

Correct, unfortunately, only 2 slots on this MB. I would pull the 32 (2x16) that comes with it and either hold it until return period is over or just sell them on Ebay if you are keeping the system.

I was able to configure a system with the exact same specs...and yeah retail is now $3499 so it's now in line with their prices on those other R16 configs with RTX 4090.

Lucky you. Usually it does not hit until order ships.
