Customer Ratings & Reviews

The price is a little too high but when you have to have a PC, you have to sacrifice the extra spend. The PC hardware is OK with the exception of Windows 11 - Windows 11 IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. Automated system updates completely bricked a brand new system! Ubuntu Linux ran like a champ from the get-go (proved the hw is fine). I had to install Windows 10 in order for the PC to function as expected. It's been great since Windows 10. And DELL - What happened to your support portal? ALL updates are limited to .exe files?????? Can't update a (dead OS) system bios using .exe files!!!! Issues: - Dell seems to have dropped the ball in their support portal. It's not the Dell I remember! - MS - Why are you pushing alpha/beta quality software on new hardware?????????? People spend 2k on decent hardware only to run into a dead end because you Windows 11 !!!! At least give the consumer a choice to "upgrade" to Windows 10 when 11 is so bad.

The machine offers great value for the price given the current gpu market. Personally got it for less as it was on sale with a code which made it very hard to beat by building. I found that the PC does run pretty hot, i replaced the air cooler with a small water cooler and added a hest sink for the vrms. Bought two sticks of ram as it come with a single 16gb stick and the same module is sold by dell for 200 so i just bought another pair from bestbuy. Overall handles all my games easily maxxed out on a 1440p screen. I would recommend buying it if youre willing to tinker with it slightly. Easiest way to get a 30 series card wothout overpaying today.

This is a great pc in general. My biggest complaint is that it gets hot quickly and that means it gets loud frequently. You can also not upgrade any parts of the PC which tends to not be the best for some people. Works great though never any serious issues or malfunctions. Can run pretty much any game at a solid 60fps.

Good gaming system overall but as other reviewers mentioned this unit in original spec does get very warm during gaming. This was cost effective (at time of review) to get my hands on a 3080 machine that was in stock and with the minor upgrades still kept it within or lower than average pre-built PC price range and definitely cheaper than building a system with the rare, inflated priced 3080 card. After replacing the CPU fan with a AIO liquid cooling and adding a VRM heat sink which is fairly simple even for me being a non PC builder, the system runs cooler and quieter. Warzone and Halo runs smooth with average 120 FPS on my gsync 1440 monitor. The AIO radiator does get hot but it keeps my CPU around 80s C during intense gaming, before with the CPU fan it was running in the 90s C near the CPU TJ Max of 100 C.

Rock solid performance, looks great, superb support and update service through Dell keeping drivers etc up to date. Only downside is fan noise when graphics card is working hard in games.

Pros: - Blazingly fast on anything you throw at it - RTX 3080 graphics - whisper quiet when not under load - Appealing design - Perfect host for Vive Pro VR system Cons: - Loud under load. Cools down quickly when load removed, but fans are simply too loud. - Bloatware! Dizzying array of overlapping and redundant Dell apps that add little to no value. - Bloatware apps don't work particularly well. Windows update was flagging out of date drivers when Dell was saying all was well. - Windows 11. Ugh.

I bought this at the end of 2021 only wanting the 3080 inside. I do not regret my decision. I never turned it on, just got it and gutted it. The card is a reference 3080. I removed the fans first thing and slapped a water block on it. I game with it and mine with it to help pay it off. It overclocks and under powers very well. I love the card. The case was really annoying to take apart, and I couldn't see myself enjoying it. Way too cramped inside, air flow would've been terrible or very precise. The major components sold really well. Ive already paid off a majority of the pc with sales from them. I did test the Power supply though. Its very loud when the 3080 is demanding power. Mouse and keyboard are nothing special, but if I could've customized the order to not include them to save money, I would have. This is about as honest of a review as I can leave. I bought this PC for the card just like everyone else who bought this pc.

Dissipointed for a $2,200 computer. Runs hot and loud! Still a competitive computer for the current market, unfortunately. +Case and accessibility +3080 GPU +Alienware Command Center (still need afterburner) +availability +heats my house in the winter -price -runs hot and loud -poor gaming performance (limited testing) Halo Infinate cannot keep 60FPS in 4k on ultra, and has terrible frame drop. (LG 48" C1). Long story short, my new xbox series x runs halo infinate better. Maybe I need more time to adjust some settings. I have not had time to test other games, but it will be useless if it cannot push higher & consistant FPS in ultra 4k. The computer runs very hot and the fans are extremely loud. 78-80C GPU temps on Halo Ultra. After making some recommended changes, gpu temps in the 67-70 range. After the dissipointment with gaming performance, I tried mining ethereum and vram hit 104C instantly mining 81MH/s. After recommended fixes, vram came down to 82C at 99MH/s (Non-LHR). Had errors completing performance benchmarks which was also annoying.

First thing is the memory cooling issue. Is does get hot. It is also loud. It is a fast gaming PC not sure why Dell didn't put a liquid cooler in this version which would solved alot of the heating issues. Meh. Other than than than it everything else is good.

Had an asus with a HDD, 8gigs of ram and a gtx 1040. This computer definitely was a night a day difference. I’m able to play games on full settings with no issue. I upgraded the ram to 32 gigs instead of 16, and I’ve had no issue since date of purchase.

non-lhr 3080 with big gpu memory temp problem. 96Mh with over clock at first run, got 60 degree gpu temperature but 110 degree memory temperature. After adding thermal paste to the area around the memory chip, now it’s running with 56 degree gpu temp and 92 memory temp.

I'm not quite sure why this has some negative reviews. I bought purely to fly Microsoft Flight Simulator and it's really the first computer that plays the simulator flawlessly. I'm probably a pretty average daily user and have had no issues. My son also plays a couple of games on here and no issues. I was a little concerned about the reviews of the machine getting hot and not doing what it was supposed to do. I play the flight simulator sometimes for hours on end and haven't had a single issues, it's a ton of fun. I didi have to update the drivers out of the box for MSFSM to run, but figured that out pretty quickly. I know there a lot of "experts" out there but the peeps that built this machine have been doing it a while and seem to have created yet another great machine. I have this paired with a 49 inch ultra widescreen monitor and it's amazing!! If you're a normal day to day user / gamer, this machine rocks!! I'd guess if you play games 24/7 or mining for coins, you might have to make some modifications.

Good for the money. 3080 is hard to get these days. Could get better cooling. This one is not water cooled thats why 4 stars.

Love it. Make sure you have breathing room. It’s got god parts and they did a good job of added value in combining the pieces. If you like PC game and have no desire to build but still want to be competitive this is a great option.

It performa pretty well but the VRAM gets well into 102 degrees celsius with fans on 100 and even external fans pointed at the vents. I wouldnt recommend unless upur are desperate or capable of modding then it should be too big of an issue. Otherwise you would be worries about longevity with heavy use as a gpu that could boil water its so hot may not have a life as long as it could if it ran cooler

Runs great. Looks beautiful. Also has a very strong GPU for the leice point. I cant think of anything i dislike.

10/10 best prebuilt ive purchased. Low gpu temps when being pushed. Just buy it!

Best pc within this price range. However, fan starts to works all of a sudden.

Poor airflow and very cramped interior. The mobo looks like its from the 1990's. M.2 is Gen 3 and 3080 is LHR.

I returned this PC due to horrible thermals. The unit itself does come with quality parts but as a prebuilt, Dell failed to meet the new standards for gaming. If bought I would imagine this PC lasts less than a year if you plan gaming consistently.
