But 5070 12gb cards, with 32gb ram has been lower at costco, or even prime day deals. A great deal for these specs I'd say is like 1400-1700. Also I believe now alienware is a HUGE downside, often times some of these pc's use odd OEM parts, or make it intentionally hard to upgrade or change components out.
I've seen 5070 12gb's with 32gb ram and 1tb ssd's at like 1400-1500 but they just sell out crazy fast. Which makes sense.

This Alienware Aurora is a compact prebuilt gaming desktop with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF, RTX 5070, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, and the consensus is that the hardware is solid for the money. The price is seen as decent rather than exceptional, especially since similar Alienware systems often list much higher, and the parts alone already account for a large share of the cost. The main drawbacks are the 1TB drive, only two RAM slots with a 64GB ceiling, and the usual Alienware upgrade headaches from proprietary parts. It is a better fit if you want a ready-made system than if you plan to tinker or expand it later.
