Not as good as a few months ago when Cashback sites were WAY higher, but other than that, this seems great. Yeah, you may want to spend a couple hundred bucks on RAM and/or a bigger SSD, but the system is solid and a good price for 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.

Aside from gpu and psu, everything else has low specs. It's a decent price for a prebuilt if you only consider the cost of the components, which is a bad way of looking at it. it's the equivalent of Frankenstein monster in pc, and i wouldn't consider it especially given the fact that alienware often uses proprietary components

This isnt ideal for gaming. Get a pre build with 9800x3d. Intel is significantly slower in gaming and runs hotter
This is just fine for gaming. Especially at this price point

Go look at some benchmark they did on comparison on Youtube. Some games lose half of FPS. Large L3 cache is a big advantage when it comes to gaming.

Especially if you play a game that is CPU limited

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.

Don't worry, that person just doesn't know and is going off AW's rep from a decade ago.

Proprietary:

Case
MOBO
PSU

Everything else is standard off the shelf parts except GPU they make themselves, but it is still standard connections.
