I just looked on eBay and the literal cheapest current listing for a new RTX 4090 is $2600 + tax. With just a single CB site, you could get this entire system for almost $175 less than that. If you have additional offers through Chase, C1, AMEX, etc., it could be potentially a hundred (or more) cheaper than that.
It would cost you at least close to $4k to build something similar to this desktop that can be had here well under $2500. While upgradeability is nice, for the most part by the time people want to upgrade something other than an SSD or ram, they're going to want a new CPU which in 4 or 5 years will probably also mean a new socket (so a new mobo) and a new GPU. At that point, who cares if you have to buy a whole new computer?

So if you would have read the post or even the title. You'd know you have to apply the 10% coupon to get that price...
Edit: looks like OEM, Dell outsources to partners like PNY and MSI. Might be the cheapest path to a new 4090.

Microcenter (powerspec) and newegg (abs) prebuilts are all standard parts. Cyberpower, starforge, ibuypower as well.
If you want to build a computer, go for it. That said, I find these conversations hilarious when we're talking about a desktop that has an RTX 4090 and costs the same price as just a 4090 on the secondary market. Buy vs. build discussions make sense when you can build something cheaper than you can buy it pre-built and/or pick your parts and get exactly what you want for about the same money as a pre-built and end up with something that's more upgradeable and/or higher quality parts. I have built a computer from scratch before. It can be fun, and it can be a cool project to do with your kid. I get it - I really do. But with pricing what it currently is, anyone looking at these recent Alienware deals - especially if you have 1 or more significant cash back offers - and thinking that ANY other deals (or going the BYO route) make sense is just not thinking rationally.
