Ah, good. I wasn't sure since I haven't owned a consumer end Dell in many years, and a Google search shows that as late as at least the 4th gen i processors, they were still using a proprietary...

The "non PCMR general public" should buy something cheaper. Anyone buying an 8700k with a GTX 1080 is probably intending to do some gaming or other intensive tasks. This system hits 85°C very...

It might be terrible for you, but for the rest of the non PCMR general public, it's perfectly fine. They have a separate enthusiast line for a reason. I bought a similar system last year with a 6700k...

It's not that it's a terrible price, it's just that it's a terrible system.

There are still deals out there, but we're also in a period of transitioning to *drastically* better CPUs in the case of Intel 8xxx stuff. Right now you can't buy a cheap B360 motherboard to pair...

Folks, you do not want this computer. I bought the same config a month ago but with more memory, hoping it would perform as admirably as my XPS 8700 from a deal four or five years ago.
Nope.

I don't hate Dell, but I have to admit that this isn't exactly a deal. That case has minimal airflow (which is fine for normal computing, but certainly not for overclocked gaming units), the PSU is...

I see the 15% off codes pop up somewhat frequently for Dell. Has anyone seen a 20% or 30% lately? Now that would be a slick deal on any of the XPS special edition line.
