For gaming specifically I don't think anyone wants this particular processor. Think of this build as a $1500 GPU with a computer thrown in. Is the computer worth $750? Yup. Therein lies the deal.
You can't just drop that without explaining, haha.

There's nothing on there that means anything to me. Item number is 490-BKXB. Description is "Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7".

I guess I get to learn Windows 11 today. Sort of forgot about that part...

if you Google that part number, you can see detailed pics of one somebody has listed on eBay. Those pics also don't tell me anything about make/model.

I was trying to do that and had the exact same experience - the only chat was sales chat but they could only help with new sales, not existing orders. They offered to refund me, but I could not get to sales support chat. So, I emailed them and got this back:

"However, as a valued customer and as a token of goodwill, I am pleased to offer you a one-time exemption in the form of a coupon upto $200 considering your order dollar value, subject to final approval from our finance team. "

That was more than good enough for me. Guess between that and the Dell Advantage $$$ I will get from the order, I'll be looking for a deal on a new monitor.

The card might be a MSI card in Dell branding.

I mean, it's obviously not branded. It may be amazing, or it may be subpar. But clearly, Dell does not manufacture it. Someone does...
