Ok, then not too bad.
I'm looking at this PC for a Golf Simulator. Primary projector will be at 4K and the GPU will be powering atleast 2-3 more displays simultaneously.
Would upgrading the memory from 32 to 64 worth the extra $200?
Also, perhaps a stupid question - Is it worth upgrading the processor to the 3.7Ghz as well?

Personally, the R16 is as unstable as Charles Manson, if you ask me. I'm wondering if this newer model is any better?
I read all the fine print - didn't see any limit to the cash back and I read all the exclusions, and I definitely should qualify. That said, it's almost midnight on the east coast and it says that rate is only good for 3 more hours. Who knows...
If my math is correct, I paid:
$2250 after 10% coupon
I also had big cash back offers from both Chase and AMEX - sadly both capped at $50, but I split the payment so got $100 combined from those.
I should get about $310 from the 13% cash back
So, net total should be about $1840 + tax - in my case $1973ish for this desktop and $117.50 in Dell rewards, which I'm sure aren't going to be worth all that much, but whatever. Not sure much better than this is coming anytime soon since it looks like the GPUs are still basically $1500 by themselves on eBay and this CPU is nearly $600. Clearly, I couldn't build a similar PC anywhere close to this price, even if I somehow managed to score a 5080 at retail, which isn't happening.. I'm happy enough.
Edit: actually, I have $292.49 pending in cash back, not $310, so my total is $17.50 higher than estimated above. Still smoking imo. Sadly, it looks like cash back is back down to 1% or 2% this morning depending on the site, so a pretty significantly less great deal now.
Honestly with the new efficiency cores and actual cores on the I-9 I would go a different route if you need to run multiple virtual machines. Go with something with alot of normal cores

Thanks.
U can only split on 3 cards, right?
I personally snagged a FE 5090 for $1999 MSRP today.
In another month or two, the AIB partner models will be back to or below their original MSRPs. By fall/winter we may see them discounted like the 4090s eventually were.
Don't overpay guys.
