              @ln28909:

              1. Those CPUs are not equivalent, i7-10700k will likely perform slightly better.
              2. Good luck buying a 3070 FE new for $900 ever again.
              3. You're missing a HDD.
              • +1

                @Schmiddler: Okay maybe $2000 is a bit too close, $2100 is probably more realistic, still need a case as well, the 3070 is any random 3070, was $900 yesterday

                • +1

                  @ln28909: I think you've got it pretty close other than the missing case and HDD, and change in CPU, but once you factor in the building cost, warranty, etc. this deal is pretty solid.

                  I was just looking around for 3070s earlier and the majority of pre-order/in stock (rare) are all $1k+.

                  • +3

                    @Schmiddler: It's not a bad deal by all means, I upvoted the deal :) but to say other similar deals is at $3000 is a bit extreme

              • @Schmiddler: The 5600x is slightly better and with the faster memory it will outperform the Dell.

                • @[Deactivated]: Quite possible, I'm not in the market for a CPU right now, but I've seen them flip-flopped being better than each other on different performance metrics.

                  • @Schmiddler: Honestly, 3700x at about $420 is still better than either 5600x or 10700k

                    • @ln28909: Value-wise you mean? Or straight-up better performance?

                      I'm still rocking my 5ish year old i7-6700k and it looks like I'm not going to need to upgrade from that for a while.

                      • @Schmiddler: Yeah value wise, 5000 series performance is not worth the early adaptor tax, wait till they go on sale

                        • @ln28909: This this gen is time for my GPU upgrade, planning to go 970 -> 3070/3080 depending on pricing and availability.

                          CPU upgrade might be a couple years down the track after dropping a grand on that haha.

                          • @Schmiddler: Ahaha yeah upgrading cpu is not cheap since you would also need new ram and motherboard too

              • @Schmiddler: In what exactly will it perform better? Gaming wise it's on par with 10900k so not sure where Intel is slightly better? OC? Even extra threads are negated by the ipc difference in many scenarios.

              • @Schmiddler: Also you have to factor in genuine windows 10 key.

            • +7

              @ln28909: That's not the same PC parts, and you're missing quite a few things that are listed in the specs, and good luck getting that RTX 3070 Founders Edition. You can't build the PC above for $2000 because there's no way you'll get the prices that Dell gets for the parts as a consumer right now. If you can wait a few months and buy the parts 1 by 1 on super specials, yeah sure, you can do it. Then you have to put it together yourself too, and buy a Windows 10 key from eBay.

              I'm not buying this Dell PC for myself, as I like to build with better parts. But at $2000 right now, with a 15 days estimated delivery time. This is an absolute bargain for what they're offering. As long as the PSU is 700W+, which they haven't answered yet.

              • +2

                @ThatsCheap: Founder Edition was just there as an example of a 3070, 3070 have been $900 or less two times now

                Could also get a lower latency RAM for a similar price within the past 10 days

                All the other parts are not on special and with Black Friday coming up, you never know

                And yes $2000 maybe a bit hard, $2100 is more realistic

                Also fairly sure, the PSU is 500W

                • +2

                  @ln28909: Confirmed psu is 500w, Dell has informed me they tested the configuration for gaming. Otherwise you always have Dell warranty, it's pretty solid.

              • @ThatsCheap: ah ha I was right, it's below 600W, see the rep PCPP list https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/vkQ9K3

              • +1

                @ThatsCheap: PSU is 500w.
                Chipset is H470 :(

                They'll probably be all custom layouts… Dell aren't the best for these, but they do at least test the integration.

            • @ln28909: Good luck finding a 3070 FE, let alone buying one for $900.

              • @xuqi: probably a bad choice there, it was just meant to be any random 3070, was $900 yesterday

            • +3

              @ln28909: I giggled. Not even a comparative part picked build.

              • +1

                @LiMaaa: most people would agree, since we're looking at about 10-15% better at gaming I think

                also the PSU is 500W here right?

                • +5

                  @ln28909: To determine the value of this system, you should part pick the same parts where possible or closest options and determine if this is a good deal, not amd and then shout (amd more performance vs price > Intel). Imo. ^^

                  • +2

                    @LiMaaa: How come no one answer the psu question yet?

                    And from the ozbargain perspective you should compare performance and try to find matching value parts instead of matching parts to parts since most of the time, oem parts choice are not great

                    For example, no one in their right mind would go and buy this cpu at $500 atm

                    • @ln28909: 500w psu.

                      • @LiMaaa: I was right, your welcome guys, I just save you from making a misinformed decision

                        You have to add that to the post description

                        • @ln28909: I believe op is helping people make informed decisions by getting information requested and providing as soon as it's available, but sure. Haha.

                          • -2

                            @LiMaaa: tbf, that's a lack of due diligence there, should have verified it before posting, as that component is particularly important to the system

                            • +4

                              @ln28909: I don't think so, op doesn't work for Dell, why does he need to do anything? He brought you a good deal, when people ask, he provides the best info he can. If you're expecting more from someone not employed, you should do it yourself. Nothing stops you from sitting on chat support all day and finding out the info you want. :)

                              • @LiMaaa: Well he marked himself as associated, so seems fair to say that he has access to Dell support much easier than your average joe

                                • +1

                                  @ln28909: FYI, you can be marked associated if you simply have friends / family that work at Dell or are associated themselves with Dell but not necessarily employed there.

                                  • +2

                                    @LiMaaa: Imo, once you marked yourself associated, you in some way represents that company.

                                    If this information was made available sooner, I guarantee that it wouldn't reach this amount of upvotes, but now, its the herd mentality lol, so I'm expecting many people to regret this purchase decision in the long run especially if they decide to sell it later on to upgrade, nobody is gonna touch it

                                    • +2

                                      @ln28909: You're wrong. You could have a cousin/friend that got a press release product from Dell years ago and have no connections internally and you'd still be required to mark associated as per ozb guidelines. I believe the whole purpose of store rep tag is to signify you represent the company.

                                      If you don't like the deal, you're not obliged to be here. :)

                                      • @LiMaaa: At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter to how you make the mistake, but a mistake was made (at least imo) that over inflated this deal.

                                        Don't get me wrong, I still upvoted this deal even knowing it has a 500W PSU as if I were to recommend someone a prebuilt, I much prefer dell than someone from techfast as Dell warranty is good

                                        But I upvoted the deal knowing the limitations of the deal while many other wouldn't and would have made a different decision otw

                                        • +4

                                          @ln28909: A mistake would be stating it has a higher watt psu when it doesn't, that didn't happen. Just because something didn't have specific information you think is beneficial (which I agree it is), doesn't mean a mistake was made. I could almost guarantee you even if psu was listed the up votes would continue, because… It's a really good deal regardless. Your opinion is not fact, it's simply your opinion, so try share it as such. Have a good day. ^^

                                          • +1

                                            @LiMaaa: Well its pretty easy to test that theory, make a bold statement of it in the description and you'll see what people say

                                            Posting on here is like giving out financial advice(sort of) people expected you to do some decent research beforehand so whether intentional or not, something wrong has occurred that wasn't clarify quickly enough

                                            So the entire fault is not on op but also on me and other here as well, maybe I should have neg the deal to signal this limitation instead of upvoting it when i know it was there

                                            • +1

                                              @ln28909: That is entirely your opinion.

                                              No one is at fault. People asked for psu specs, they received it and it was added to OP. To neg a deal because it didn't specify the information you think it should, when you think it should, would just be a breach of the rules anyway. A neg would require incorrect info to be specified in OP, which it wasn't.

                                              Perhaps dm me if you'd like to continue discussion, so we don't derail op's post.

                                              • @LiMaaa: You're focusing too much on the how, the thing that matters is the what

                                                And negging the deal for having 500W PSU is entirely valid since it is significantly below the recommended 750W by Nvidia and thereby fall into the category of negging due to something of concern with the product or "issue with the product" to be exact

                                                • +2

                                                  @ln28909: You are incorrect. This system has been tested and is fully functional as is, which would invalidate a neg vote based on issues with the product. Its entirely possible that the product uses oem/altered components that draw less power and therefore aren't bound to nvidia recommendations. On top of that, Dell 1 year warranty should squash any concerns users may have as they will surely rectify any issue with their products.

                                                    @KeRRR: I have previously owned an XPS 15 in the past, and as good as it looks, it is a terrible product lol, pretty much an oven, and I pretty much had the laptop replace twice during the 1 year period and I had to cough out some extra cash to add extended warranty due to how unreliable it is.

                                                    Or take the XPS 15 2020 release for example, there was so many QC issues with them from clicky trackpad to screen issues. You can say that precautions have been taken in the development, but no way guaranteeing a faultless product.

                                                    Now, say this product has been altered to draw less power, that generally means that the product won't perform as well as other similar 3070 due to being power limited, so that is also another source of concern that you have brought up

                            @LiMaaa: Is it possible to add more RAM?
                            Also if I want to add an internal HDD later on, will this be possible?

                            • @ToleranceDota: As per manual I believe you have 4 slots udimm up to 128gb. So you should be able to upgrade memory.

                • @ln28909: Confirmed psu is 500w, Dell has informed me they tested the configuration for gaming. Otherwise you always have Dell warranty, it's pretty solid.

                  • @KeRRR: Please add it to the description, I think it should be sufficient for most people since they don't overclock, but this would pose as a red flag in them making the purchasing decision so it would be helpful to have

              @ln28909: Missing Windows.

              • @odysseus: Yes missing Windows, case and 2tb hdd, so you're looking at $2100 for parts

            • @ln28909: Add OS and case?

              • @bondiben: Yes probably shouldve mentioned it in the same comment, you're looking at around $2100 for parts on something that should be a little bit better in gaming and higher resale value

            • @ln28909: Nice homework!

            • @ln28909: 3070 aint gonna be $900 lmao

      • Don’t know why you got neg. $3000+ is about right and self assemble plus bloody no warranty on the whole thing. This Dell is well worth it.

    • Dell PC have always been bad with cooling…

    I'm curious, how does a 3070 and a 10700k run on a 500W PSU?

    • Intel 10 are power hungry as well…

      • Like I think should be okay, since 3070 pulls about 250W and i7 probably 150W max, but too close for comfort there

        • i7 will pull 150ish at full load yes, but in gaming that never ever happens

    • +2

      Nvidia PSU recommendation have to take into account all the garbage PSU out there. Dell will use their own gold equivalent.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/DellXPS/comments/hw0hxz/dell_xps_89…

    It seems Dell may be struggling with heat dissipation on their laptops AND desktops?

    • I have had two dell laptops, and I tend to agree with the above. Wasn't sure if they have same issues on their PC lineup too?

    Any Dell desktops units under $1000? thanks

  • if theres a deal for $2500 with 3080, is it going to be better?

    • no

      • just googled some comparison and they say 3070 is best for 1440 gaming, but 3080 has ray tracing.

        • i am fairly sure 3070 also have Ray Tracing; even its predecessor (2070 Super) has Ray Tracing.

        • 3070 does have ray tracing, it's an RTX card. Technically any card can do ray tracing it'll just suck the performance out of it.

  • The ad lists a RTX2070 Super but the listing on Ozbargain suggests it comes with a 3070?

    • It comes with an RTX 3070.

    • Probably just a poor copy and paste job from their website where they don't offer the 3000 series. If it turns up wrong just send it back since you are protected by eBay.

  • Shame you can't change the power supply. Otherwise I'd be all over this. Then take everything out and put it in a Corsair case.

    • Why you can not change the power supply?

      I had one dell before , MB is so customized and intentionally design fff up you can hardly fit into another case.
      Had to buy a PCIE cable to connect my VGA, theoretically good idea but when you open dell case you hit road block straight away.

      • that sucks… cause these dell cases are ugly af..

          Good thing is if your home gets broken in to, no one will bother stealing it.

      • Thanks. I have never bought branded computer before.

      • Yeah, that's what sucks about it. Ah wells, will just build mine over a longer period finding deals here and there.

        • I know , I did the same as well.

          one more thing : because it's customized and they dont publish the full spec you don't know how many free ports are available.

          For example in the one i had , MB had only 2 SATA ports…..wtf?!?!?!?!
          One was used for SSD and one was used for DVD-Rom , i had to buy a PCIe card to install my NVMe on it…at least made me to think and innovate …hahaha

          to be 100% sure , is to check the model , check the MB layout spec and what it can do then go for such plan.

          I went for @he11bent plan and had myself ffff badly…lol…..after that would never ever touch any brand machine unless i know exactly what I'm dealing with.
