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

has it ship out for anyone who place an order today?

Got mine. Set it up. Works great, pretty quiet and great airflow. Not too many cons yet. The mouse that it came with is extremely cheap and doesn't track my table well, but the keyboard is nice and clicky.



In case it matters to anyone: the MSI motherboard does proper S3 sleep down to 0W at my smart plug. None of that Dell/Alienware Modern Standby nonsense.

Quote from Backhome77 :
I thought most CPUs and GPUs were made in Taiwan and South Korea. So they shouldn't get hit by the 125% tariff, right? Most of the other components will, though.

Motherboard, mouse, keyboard, case, heatsink, some final assembly of GPU. Actual GPU chip made by TSMC not in China. Also I don't think China fabs AMD CPU.

Also if the whole pc is assembled in China may also draw Tariff.

In the end if you buy from Costco, your hedging against tariff and worse case you erase the hard drive and bring it back to Costco within 90 days. That's part of the benefit of being a Costco member.

Quote from Adamm345 :
This is a decent deal, but don't let the tariffs lead you into panic buying them, yes China has a large Tariff, but what happens is that China just reroutes all their inventory through Vietnam to avoid tariffs, same thing happened in Trumps first term.

Panic buying of large item purchases is always a bad idea.

Costco 90 day return… if you get canned in the next 90 days you're covered. And if you are not financially secure and buying 2500 pc is going to impact you if you do get canned then you probably shouldn't be buying this in the first place.

Also buying at a reasonably priced low supply, high demand item is not panic buying.

Can't bring myself to do it. PC prices are just so outlandish if all you want to do is game.
I need it for responding to emails very quickly, too.

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz and 2080 super that I got during covid times, would this be a major jump in FPS? had to play AC shadows in low-medium settings to get smooth FPS

Yes extreme jump in performance.

I am actually surprised this is still in stock. Since it is almost impossible to find an MSRP 5080 this is getting close enough. Plus, coming from Costco, the return period is also way better than any other retailer.

Are scalpers having any luck selling them? It could be a case of there barely being any 5080s made and everyone willing to pay for it already did.

I think there had been some availability of 5080 and 5070 ti from retailers like newegg in the last few days.

if you only want the graphic card and want to save a few hundreds, here is 90% of the performance 5070 ti for $1,100 in stock right now
