Almost nobody buying a 5080 is playing at 1080p.

Go watch it on youtube. I dont want to "try" too lazy. Video is there. I thought about doing 265 but quickly changed my mind. Got the mb, cpu, and ssd combo 9800x3d. My 5070 reference card is coming tomorrow. My gaming is set for now
Can you show me where you can get something like this for $1300?
You cannot build a 9800x3d and 5080 computer for $2000. Doesn't exist. 5080 at msrp is not a thing. Additionally it would be $2000 to build a 9800x3d and 9070xt and the 9070xt isn't as good as a 5080.

I have a very similar config to this one and I think you would be silly to not add another $50 for water cooling. I can't speak to the air cooled version, but my water cooled one is very cool and super quiet, even under significant load.
I got this desktop back at the end of April when the CB was 12 or 15%. My word of caution, DO NOT rely on it. Dell still hasn't paid the CB from my order, even though I followed the rules exactly. They haven't responded to me or the CB company's email inquiries. Read on the internet and you'll see that happens more often than not. Really disappointing.
That said, I know people crap on Dell and Alienware these days, but this desktop has been nothing but solid. Handles everything I throw at it without a problem and I almost never hear any noise from the system. The fans have been super quiet, temps have been awesome, I'm just overall pleased. I did upgrade the RAM to 64GB DDR5 5600mhz from Crucial since this motherboard is able to read it natively without tweaks.

Agreed on the desktop. Sorry to hear you're having issues with that Cashback. Mine was recently paid out, a little over $300. Other than having to wait almost exactly 2 months, I had no issues with it.

I don't see this in my Alienware Desktop an option to upgrade memory to 6400. It has defaulted to 4800 after i changed the 16GB Ram.
As per the Forum that a Dell community manager suggested.
"
So you removed both of the Dell OEM non-OC GDGT0 8GB memory sticks and installed two retail 16GB memory sticks? My guess is that will run at 5200 and be non-OC even if they were XMP because our BIOS is going to look for our memory.
Dell only tested/validated our OEM memory sticks as shown in the FAQ Aurora ACT1250 ="
