Awesome deal, Im still running my Alienware Aurora R7 with liquid cooling from like 2018. Upgraded from a GTX1080 to a RTX3070. Not a single issue with this PC. I run it for about 8+ hours a day and often max out the CPU and GPU from gaming yet ive never had an issue with overheating even when my office was 90+ degrees

It's funny when the video card has as much ram as the motherboard.

At least ram is fairly cheap and easy to add.

I have the same, minus the liquid cooling.
It's just a shame Dell won't update the Bios to allow a 9th Gen CPU swap.
Known complaint.

Quote from brandonn4654 :
Did you look up all the reviews on the 5080. Also, to anyone buying a 5090, there are like 5 games that will even take advantage of the card, and cyberpunk is 4 years old now. There is not one game coming out this year where the 5090 is needed.

So we should wait and have to buy another PC next year because we only planned for this year... Sounds shortsighted to me.

Apparently you're unaware of the 4k gaming market.

That's not even remotely true if you play at high FPS on 4k or 2k. If it's needed obviously isn't the same, but most games other than esports games take advantage of it.

I would say go for 40 series deals but there really aren't any. Just helped someone buy a 4070 rig and those are still $1300 and up (one with an I7). The new Intel chips sucking and the new 50 series being a minor step up (performance not performance per dollar) over the 40 series is really hurting the market right now.

Just don't add it from Dell and checkout the price for the warranty. Insanity
