Not thrilled with the upgrade pricing here on the RAM and storage though. The upgrade pricing to 5080 is also bad but that reflects the insane fact it's selling for $400 over MSRP at retail. The 5070 ti is the way.

Case
MOBO
PSU
Everything else is updatable/Upgradable. The brands themselves will be whatever Dell has available. My 2024 build came with sk hynix brand Ram and SSD. Dell produces their own GPUs which are generally solid.
that being said ... its a real salty comment just to be like
***rain rain rain rain rainnnnnn on that parade, hit them with some truth***
and then just like walk away?
Its not any help if you dont close it with actual insight of what to do instead , ya know ?
Yes it always is Dell brand GPU, that is what I said. But that can still be swapped out unlike the Case, MOBO, and PSU.
The sweet spot for DDR5 is 6000 speed @ CL30. This can be purchased for less than $100
I did not post those links. I am genuinely asking what about it as I am not super informed on this, however my research lead me to believe in a gaming setup the difference would be negligible for vast majority of games, but also that Dell PCs don't generally accept higher ram speeds without a lot of tinkering.
I'm sorry, I am not trying to come off as rude. I thought you were the one who posted the link to the two ram options.
So essentially for gaming you want 6000 speed, CL30. Jay 2 cents and Linus have both done videos on it and come to the same conclusion

The latest Alienware desktops do use a standard form factor and/or can be adapted for such purpose. They're still using a 12volt only system (all the stepdown conversions are done by the motherboard) but they're using the ATX 12VO standard, rather than whatever nonsense they were up to before. You could reuse this case with standard, off-the-shelf parts if you wanted, although you'd likely have to swap the motherboard and power supply together if you wanted to go to the more common ATX standard. Dell also sells a conversion kit that allows you to use their front panel and light control accessories with a 3rd party motherboard:

In my opinion, these new ones look like a HUGE improvement from the old proprietary hotboxes. I've seen a bunch of my friends get Alienware systems over the years (one guy I know is still rocking his Aurora R7 if you can believe it) and while most of them have had okay experiences, they knew upgradability was limited and that Alienware boxes didn't always play nice with other components.
design is sick

Thanks for the write up, really informative. That kit link it says is for their new area 51 chassis. Do you happen to know if it will work on the auroras like from this post? The Aurora was redone a few years back and it is a solid chassis now, stays super cool, not sure if everything you mentioned above applies to this as well or was all in reference to the new area 51 chassis.
You can get a 265KF + Z890 and 16GB RAM for $370 plus Star Wars right now from NE
1TB SSD+32GB RAM is $150 top. Or maybe another $50 for 16GB to runs 4 sticks at JEDEC specs like Dell does.
A quality case can be had for $80, another $60 for an AIO, 1000W unit is $150 give or take, cheaper when there is a good sale. (plus 850W Gold is more than enough, Dell is definitely overselling here). All these add together run for ~$800, $700-$750 if you look for deals like a SDer would do. All much better parts, better warranty.
I'm not here to debate prebuild vs DIY, but it would also hard for me to say the rest of the build is of $900 value

I had the older, ridiculous looking monstrosity (R12 maybe?). I bought it when there was a 3080 shortage and it was the only way to get one in 2021. It was an awful, awful case. Huge, ugly and the working interior space was smaller than my micro ITX 26.6 liter case.
This current one looks like a massive step in the right direction.
