Meh. They just had this same set up with the 4090 for $2399 without the 10% off coupon.
Speaking from extensive research after getting really lucky on the 4090 setup at the exact same price, here are some suggestions:

Order a second SSD right away. That 1TB will fill up surprisingly fast, and you're going to want to reserve that first drive for your OS and go-to applications. After that, everything else can go on a second SSD.

For me, I'm going with a 4TB Western Digital (WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe™ SSD). From my research, it seems like this drive and the Samsung 990 Pro are the drives of choice. They are typically priced the same, with WD often slightly cheaper. Right now, the WD is $319, but if you get really creative with coupons and cashback, you can knock a full $100 off that price before taxes. I deliberated settling on a 2TB drive, but if you're paying $120-$150 for 2TB, why not just spend the extra $70-$100 and double your space? For me, it's a no brainer since I also edit video and have a huge Steam library for gaming.

Oh, also, don't forget to buy a heat sink to cool off these drives! I'm a sucker for RGB. If anyone has any suggestions on a cheap but reliable solution, I'm all ears.

For RAM, if you're looking to upgrade, I can only find one kit that seems to play nice with this particular motherboard (please please please correct me if I'm wrong on this). That is the Crucial Pro (Crucial Pro 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR5-5600 UDIMM
CP2K32G56C46U5). It's on sale right now for $140 through Amazon and Crucial. No real cashback opportunities that I can see. For that reason, I'm actually holding off and am going to watch the market closely. I don't see any major rush to upgrade from 32GB to 64GB. It may be fun to see a performance jump if/when I do finally upgrade.

Hope this helps. I've been very active in Reddit and here in the SD forums, trying best I can to get as much info as possible about these rigs.
The one with the 4090 was the same price (w/ 10% off) a few days ago https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/fp/951903

Assuming it's the same 4090 deal they attempted to deliver mine yesterday when I wasn't home

Yeah it's the same one, I'm pretty excited about it since my current comp has a 1070 lol

Was it? I actually got it. It seems like they're honoring the deal because they haven't cancelled it. It's supposed to be here Sunday

Mine was delivered yesterday. It was 100% a unicorn price mistake. We lucked out.

After all the coupons, cash back from that site and my CC, and dell rewards, for me it ended up being less than most i7/4070ti builds I have seen. Less than a 4090 alone would have cost me lol.

Are they still making these with proprietary parts?

Just the MOBO and PSU. Everything else is upgradable.

This was a mistake. Was remove right away and listed the same item with a 4080 super

There was about a 3 hour window where people did get in orders and they are delivering. That is probably a pricing mistake given it was cheaper than other 4080 R16 configs.

Gigabit ethernet? I know it doesn't matter to most people but there are many people who have spent money upgrading and running cable to be at 2.5 or even 10gb networks... I just can't imagine less than 2.5gb "fast" pc such as a gaming computer anymore.

Seems like an older motherboard inside of this or else it would be a solid deal.

How fast is your internet connection? Think about that for a second

Is there any code that combines with the NVMESALE for the SN850X?

No shame there at all, that was a good GPU in its day. A friend of mine just bought a new ABS system from NewEgg with a 4080 Super. His prior machine had an 1070 that served him well and was still doing just fine for the most part - however, he did say that the jump to the 4080 super was a dramatic upgrade.

The better code is the one you get as a first-timer on the site. I think it's a unique code.

EDIT: And those codes wouldn't stack for me. About a $10 difference in those two codes.

Advertised does not mean actual, have a r15, with 1gig, but is a 2.5. Speedtest with my 2gig frontier i get 2300 consistently.

The lowest I could get it to was $287.99, with the NVMESALE code; the other first-timer code only gave 10% for me and was applied to the MSRP. I think I'll wait a bit more, maybe for a deal on the 990Pro.
