The pricing in 2020 was a big bad, covid was active and people needed computers and things to do isolated.

- Cutting storage back to 1TB. The upgrades are too expensive
- Cut the RAM back to 16GB and buy aftermarket. The 64GB is 5200MT/s. That's a $140 RAM kit
All in all, comes to like $2100 plus tax minus coupon. Still pretty good.
My old Alienware R12 was showing some age.

Would agree about the storage. Meh about the RAM, improving latency and speed on Intel processors isn't as critical and if someone is that hardcore about gaming they would just get the 3D cache AMD processors and skip Intel entirely. But yes DIY'ing the memory upgrade is cheaper.
As stated, Intel isn't great for gaming but this isn't bad in terms of Intel options. Serious gamers should just avoid this entirely but someone looking for productivity this isn't a bad deal.
newegg has 9800x3d + 5080 prebuilt for $2599, and it comes with a free $259 monitor. sell the monitor for $200, and the final cost will be $2399
