I bought this PC as part of a bundle with the Oculus Rift. Overall, the PC performed as expected and, as advertised, was Oculus Rift compatible. However, having previously built video editing PCs, I expected this "gaming" PC to be more powerful than it turned out to be. Again, overall, setup was easy and it worked as advertised, just not as powerful as I had hoped for.

I was looking for a desktop with good graphics and settled for this model which had the 1070 Nvidia card rather than the 1080 I wanted. Nevertheless, it was an expensive machine. The disk drive is not only flimsy and cheesy, the PC detects it only about once every 10 times. It also has a lousy opening mechanism and no powered closing mechanism. The keyboard and mouse supplied were marked alienware, but looked not too different from the plain vanilla devices that come with cheap PCs. They, of course, were not wireless or back lighted and had no special keys or features. Why would Dell take such cheap shortcuts on such an expensive gamer PC?

Amazing for a desktop gaming station!
I came from an MSI Laptop that was very awesome. I wanted to avoid a noisy tower. But this thing is sooo quiet and is performing like a champ. It was setup in less than an hour and came with a Keyboard and Mouse. (Didn't use them. But Still...)
Runs 4K smoothly and the onboard customization is OP for my needs, but I'm glad I have it.

Exact description of the R5 shows water cooling directly on dells site, and also a modular power supply.... opened this up, and no water cooling or modular power supply... 1600.00 out the door and not same item as dell/alienware website.
ATTACHED PICTURE SHOWS WHAT INSIDE SHOULD LOOK LIKE.
VERY DISSAPOINTED!!!!
