How is this horrible for specs when a 5080 is $1k at the cheapest if you can even get it? The CPU and GPU make up $1.3k at their cheapest. Add in another $500 and you get 1000W platinum power, liquid cooling, and a pretty good case all at cost essentially. Sure the board is proprietary and the RAM sucks but this is far from a bad deal.

Every comparison I have seen showing any significant difference is always shown at 1080p where it is biggest. The gap closes significantly/entirely at 1440p/4k in the vast majority of games, even CPU intensive ones. Also these comparisons do always cherry pick games that are extremely CPU intensive. The good review sites at least tell you this info upfront.

Almost nobody buying a 5080 is playing at 1080p.

Ok I'm in for one of these. I've been sitting on a specific Cyberpower build that comes in around $2600 with shipping (to an APO so no free shipping but still saving with zero tax). With this Alienware I can get it at $2506 with FREE shipping to APO, ZERO sales tax and a 5080! Sure its proprietary case but its a no brainer at my 2500 price point, right? Thoughts? Edit: forgot to mention the cyberpower was a 5070ti.

Do you really need windows pro and you can put in 64gb of ram for cheaper.

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.
Did you get the aio? Debating if this needs aio since the cpu runs cooler and is supposedly more efficient.

Yeah I saw the 64gb but it was lower speed memory. I didn't really do in depth comparison on how speed vs capacity would really affect the work I do. I don't think it'll be too bad to upgrade myself with matching higher speed memory in the future if I need it. As far as Win Pro, yeah I want native remote desktop, encryption, etc. Work is partially reimbursing me for the computer.

Yes, the version I got came with the liquid cooler for the CPU.

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.

Like i told you if you can hands on the nvidia reference card, it is possible. Video card situation needs to be nice to you. 😆😆😆
