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.

well...now you have time to get an SSD and ram? Smilie Which SSD are you going with? I picked up the 4tb Samsung 990pro with heatink from samsung yesterday. It arrives tomorrow....11 days before the machine, lol.
I went with this one:
https://www.newegg.com/western-di...6820250247

Only 2TB, but looks like a good drive at a decent price and I think 3TB total should be enough for the amount of games I typically have installed (no more than a couple new AAA titles at a time).

Nice. I had points to burn on samsung.com or I probably would have gone with a 2TB as well. $17 out of pocket for me and now I don't have to worry about the points expiring. Getting more excited by the day. I noticed if you build a new system right now (the same one we ordered) the earliest delivery date to my zip is 5/21, (which is my current estimated delivery date ) so I'm thinking anyone not canceled at this point is really in the clear.

No I just ordered one. Sounds like a lot of people either don't have CB showing, or it showed and then our accounts got deactivated… this is kinda shady

I purchased the system right as it became unavailable. I have not received any cash back email, but I submitted a request for missing points at the CB site.

My Dell order has stayed in Processing with expected delivery May 21. Today the order was updated with a new expected delivery date May 13.

And they dropped the cash back amount for Dell to 5%. I think they are planning to cheat us.

CB percentage is pretty dynamic, no? It changes all the time.

He was responding to the user who asked if anyone ordered more than one of this system. The thought was anyone ordering more than one quantity might be flagged as a reseller. This response was just to state that the user only ordered one, rather than more than one.

maybe try this, after you make sure the disk is installed correctly

Go to System Settings > Storage > Advanced Storage > Disks & Volumes. The SSD may show up there. Click Initialize. Now it will show up in Disk Manager.

Not there either. I think something to do with bios but I can't figure it out
