Seems like a solid deal, just need to replace the 16GB ram yourself. +$200 for 32GB from the page is definitely not worth it

The new Intel CPUs can be cooled perfectly fine with good $30-$50 air coolers since they are far more efficient this generation and run cooler than AMD, the flagship Ultra 9 285k runs cooler than a 7600x (big change), but after looking at the default air cooler, I would agree with you. The 'free' air cooler they show is basically a stock cheapo one, not a quality third party one. Since adding the 5070TI requires the PSU upgrade anyways, paying $50 more for an AIO liquid cooler is worth it, as its the same price as a good air cooler and this case looks like it might be less ideal for air coolers in general.

Absolutely. The performance of this machine will probably be higher than you need TBH. It'll do 1440p ultra and 4k, and the CPU will chew through any prosumer workloads. As pointed out elsewhere though, upgrading the RAM to 32GB would be ideal, 16GB is usable but in some scenarios it might be the bottleneck.

If you need recommendations for aftermarket RAM upgrades, there are some tested-working kits in the wiki of this similar deal:

What do you all think of the base config of $1249? Is that itself a decent deal?

Any idea how many memory slots on the mobo?? From what I can find it says mobo only has 2 memory slots which will be occupied by default 2 x 8 ram modules. That's crummy. No way to add memory only to replace the whole thing, a waste. In this case wish they had an option to "no memory" to save some money.

5070Ti is $800-$900 retail
I highly recommended the liquid cooling upgrade +$50 over the air cooled 1k watt psu

Is forced air not good enough? It's only 1kw max, I doubt it ever hits 300-400 consistently

Mine is air cooled and VERY loud. Air cooled works fine but I'd opt for the water cooled for the noise factor alone.

Any chance we see 10%+ cash back soon to stack with this deal? I took advantage of the February deal with the 5080, the cash back finally went to confirmed status a few days ago.

The 16GB isn't worth that much to be crying over -- buy a 64GB Crucial Pro kit for $135 and try to sell the 16GB for $30. Win-win. And the Crucial runs at 5600MT/s.

16gb is not enough
I think the box we purchased back in Sept 2024 was a much better deal at around $1200 after tax. Ultra series Intel is not that great for gaming compared to the 14th gen procs, especially that slimy 14700. The 5070 Ti is also not much of an improvement over the 4070 Ti Super. The AMD options are worse as usual. Ram is cheap of course, even if we got the slow 5200 @ 32GB this is weak.

yeah for sure

that deal was insane, esp with the 10-15% cash back too!

For those that care this Ethernet port is 2.5G (Killer E3100G Ethernet controller integrated on the system board) according to the field service manual (https://www.dell.com/support/manu...lang=en-us)
