My hand-built machine is at parity, if not have slightly better specs in most areas (CL timing, better case, cooler, etc.) and ease of upgradability, but had I chosen a RTX4090, it would've jacked the final price up to beyond $3100. And I thought I got some great sales, such as 2TB SN850X for $120.
For $2,388, it is very tempting. Calc below. YMMV b/c taxes.

Since they are pretty much new CPUs not being pushed outside Alienware installing windows, you can setup windows, and install the latest R16 bios that has the intel microcode update included.
It's 2.12.0 (Rev. 0x12B microcode for the CPU) https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=dwrn8&oscode=w2021&productco... [dell.com]

But with the new Nvidea chips "around the corner", I might hold back till some deals pop up in Q1 or Q2 or 2025 (fingers crossed they are out then and there are some preorder deals for prebuilts or something).
also keep in mind arrow lake and the 5xxx series of Nvida gpu's will be out in a few months, I hope it leads to a price drop for 4 series gpu's and current pc's.

Between EDU discount, split across two cards got it down to $2,500.
I know the 5090 is around the corner, but I'd wager that's close to how much I'd have to pay for the card alone.
