Seems like a solid deal, just need to replace the 16GB ram yourself. +$200 for 32GB from the page is definitely not worth it

The new Intel CPUs can be cooled perfectly fine with good $30-$50 air coolers since they are far more efficient this generation and run cooler than AMD, the flagship Ultra 9 285k runs cooler than a 7600x (big change), but after looking at the default air cooler, I would agree with you. The 'free' air cooler they show is basically a stock cheapo one, not a quality third party one. Since adding the 5070TI requires the PSU upgrade anyways, paying $50 more for an AIO liquid cooler is worth it, as its the same price as a good air cooler and this case looks like it might be less ideal for air coolers in general.

Absolutely. The performance of this machine will probably be higher than you need TBH. It'll do 1440p ultra and 4k, and the CPU will chew through any prosumer workloads. As pointed out elsewhere though, upgrading the RAM to 32GB would be ideal, 16GB is usable but in some scenarios it might be the bottleneck.

If you need recommendations for aftermarket RAM upgrades, there are some tested-working kits in the wiki of this similar deal:

The 10% new customer coupon seems to apply only at email level. Meaning, I used my wife's email to get the 10% coupon. It's a unique coupon code that's emailed, but I was able to just copy/paste the code into my existing user account and take the 10% off that way.

I was ready to create a new account w/ my wife's email, but that was not necessary since the coupon worked on my account

Quote from tornadog :
is this a good desktop for work, movies and some casual gaming?
I would argue this PC is overkill for those needs. A basic gaming PC in the $800 range would more than meet your needs I would think. This is for AAA video games with intensive graphics that really need the horsepower of a ~$900 graphics card.

Quote from PowerPC :
5070Ti is $800-$900 retail
I highly recommended the liquid cooling upgrade +$50 over the air cooled 1k watt psu
Air is almost always better at cooling than water. Plus a lot less risk.

One thing I learned the hard way with Alienware pcs. You can upgrade the ram, but the MHz is locked unless it's their specific ram. I paid extra for 6000 MHz and it's locked at 4800

Can probably make your own system for cheaper. 5070 Ti is 850 from microcenter. 900 for the rest of the system is doable. Though with the business platinum amex Dell credit, Amex offers, and cash back sites, it's pretty good
