For gaming specifically I don't think anyone wants this particular processor. Think of this build as a $1500 GPU with a computer thrown in. Is the computer worth $750? Yup. Therein lies the deal.

It's pretty good if you don't mind the extra $200, you get an upgraded processor, 32GB RAM vs 16GB and liquid cooling vs stock cooler. Also, popular cashback site is at 12% for Dell right now.
