Alright price for an all built warranty supplied gaming desktop, with liquid cooling albeit older hardware but for those not interested in building your own this is a good price.

Of course you need to check specs, but Dell offers prompt after sales service, I just want to clarify that, and replacement parts are overnight shipped if you choose to be your own tech (If you are qualified they will send you the parts). If you buy wrong spec'd rig for future update, that is on you really, a quick check on case size, PSU wattage and motherboard type before purchase of any prebuilt PC is due diligence, and advised.
You do realise that this is a HP computer, not Dell?. You are dealing with HP here for parts.
nah - brain fart again, but you cant blame lack of due diligence on the supplier is my point, like if I had bought a HP thinking it was a Dell :P
Not that worth the price for $1.1k :/
- Liquid cooling with a locked processor
- 2 gen old GPU
- DDR3 RAM
- No brand PSU
You can get much better value for money building one, even if you pay someone to do so.
- 3 gen old GPU
Given the 1070 is out in a week
Liquid cooling on a stock processor is still good and is rather inexpensive, it will definitely keep the temps down under load. The rest of the arguments are definitely strongly against it though.
Particularly helps in a poorly ventilated case, combined with Australian summer temps
Better than air cooling but not needed. That's $100 they could put into getting an LGA1151 mobo and DDR4 RAM
I can't imagine these machines are flying off the shelves, they probably built them to clear old hardware stock.
Better to go custom build and build something with DDR4 for future proofing (can re-use your RAM in new builds) and drop the i7 to an i5 and put the savings towards a GTX1070. The GTX 770 is rubbish for gaming.
It's an ok deal for those who don't want to spend a little time and effort.
If you do your homework you can easily get something more powerful for less, with more quality components.
Also anyone notice the 16gb ssd? That will barely fit an OS
Be wary if you plan to replace parts, HP computers are very finicky with what you can use. We bought a high end workstation at my work and planned to replace the stock Quadro card with a 980Ti, but there was not enough power adaptors for the card and also the side of the case wouldn't fit with it in there. They do everything to make sure you can only use what they sell you.
