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.

The Alienware is a better deal if you get the 10% off for a new account and use a c b site to effectively make it around $1800 like you mentioned . I picked one up and they've fixed their thermals (I had an old 1080ti 9th gen Intel liquid cooled one that ran terribly). It easily maxes out my 180hz monitor with ultra settings in Cyberpunk using the 1000w fan option. Cool and quiet. Smooth as butter gameplay even with path tracing on at 1440p (I don't have a 4k monitor to test). I ended up buying a second one either for the office or to pull the 5080 for a custom build and resell the chassis.
That being said, MSI makes great computers. I picked up a 14th gen i7 one from woot and put a 5070 in it and it runs great with everything except path tracing.
Just my experience running Cyberpunk, Overwatch, and Marvel Rivels. Cant go wrong with either but price for performance the Alienware wins on this round of deals. As always YMMV.
