Compared to the Dell Alienware Aurora Desktop (ACT1250)this system offers a stronger overall package: it has a better CPU (AMD Ryzen 9 9900X vs. Intel Core Ultra 7), double the RAM (32GB 6000mhz vs. 16GB 5200mhz on dell), and twice the SSD storage (2TB vs. 1TB). You also get liquid cooling and better upgrade flexibility compared to Alienware desktop, which is more difficult to modify and reuse case later.
On the other hand, the Dell gives you a higher wattage PSU (1000W vs. 850W) and includes a Platinum-rated PSU versus Gold.
Another plus for this system is the 2-year warranty, which offers longer coverage compared to Dell's standard 1-year.
Overall, you're getting more performance and value with this build. Unless you have 10% coupon for dell and CB. Then dell can be had for around 2k flat.
From what I can tell, this is near the cost of building it yourself (at least when I used pcpartpicker). Also we have no clue what the pricing of these may jump up to over the coming weeks so if you're looking, I'd personally recommend buying.
The other parts are nowhere near $1400 if you shop around

Between this and the Alienware Desktop, which is better bang for your buck? Considering you can get the Alienware price down to $1800ish

Probably Alienware for fps/dollar. Especially if you have Dell offers on credit cards etc. The intangibles (longer warranty, less proprietary parts, easier returns) with this deal are not trivial and make this a good buy too. But fundamentally both computers will get within 5% fps, yet this computer is >20% more $. Both are pretty good overall though just depends on what you want. Replacing ram is extremely easy, and you may want to do that eventually with the Alienware. 32gb is 70 bucks.

Damn, got scared into jumping on the deal, wouldn't have done it a couple weeks ago for sure. I'm sure they probably did this on purpose

Facebook marketplace has tons of these
Most of the postings are fake and "ships for free" scammers from members joining in 2024. They're all bots. The real 5080 or 5090 postings are all with scalped prices and 100% markups

Quote from Oplix :
Wait till near Black Friday and there might be a $200-$300 off coupon. Bought mine with the same MSI build from Costco last year for $2300 ($2600 original price) but with Intel 14900f CPU, RTX 4080 Super, and 64gb memory. Costco started selling my PC build around this time last year and like clockwork, the coupon released right near Thanksgiving.
Are you suggesting waiting 6 or 7 months for this to go on sale? A $200-300 drop during that wait is the discount you get on older hardware by that point.
