        i7-6700 has a TDP of 65W, GTX 1070 has a TDP of 150W.
        Allow an extra 20W for SSD + HDD (generous) and 30W more for case fans etc.
        Total power requirement = 265W. Plenty of capacity for headroom and future upgrades.

        Incidentally, here's a similar pre-built system for $100 more. PCCG are pretty good with pricing, so I reckon this Dell is a decent deal considering their excellent warranty and the fact that postage is included. https://www.pccasegear.com/products/37857/pccg-pure-power-10…

        • Raynes on 19/02/2017 - 14:06

          The included PSU will not necessarily hit those 350-460W targets though, so in reality there wouldn't be a lot of headroom (if any under load).

          @BTRaynes: its the 460w in this machine would comfortably supply 380w

    • xuqi on 19/02/2017 - 16:55

      Not concerning at all.

      The newer CPU's / GPU's are far more efficient.

      I currently run the system below using one of their Dell 310W 80+ Gold PSU's (1x 6pin PCI-e cable).

      http://i65.tinypic.com/2uqyw40.jpg

      Dell Optiplex 7040 Midi-Tower
      i7 6700k
      16GB DDR4
      6GB Gigabyte GTX1060 m-ITX
      512GB Samsung 950 Pro M.2
      512GB Samsung 850 Pro
      8TB Seagate HDD

      I've used the system for the past ~6 months daily for browsing & gaming without any issues.

      Whilst the 1060 uses less power than a 1070, the extra 150W of the PSU supplied in this system is enough to cover its needs.

      • nick nick on 19/02/2017 - 21:53
        -3

        Running a 6700k and a 1060 on a 310W PSU is beyond idiotic, have fun when your PC explodes and your down 2,000 on parts because you were too cheap to spend an extra $50 on a proper power supply.

        • xuqi on 20/02/2017 - 01:05
          +2

          It's the PSU Dell installed in the system, with no physical space to install anything else in it other than the custom unit.

          The system is not overclock-able so the CPU never boosts past 4GHz, staying withing the required thermal spec.

          It's run perfectly fine for 6 months without a hitch. You;re missing the point here. If the 310W can take the spec, then the 450W will easily power the system that's on offer here.

        • FabMan on 20/02/2017 - 07:07
          +1

          You are wrong, so maybe rethink insulting other peoples actions when you are ignorant on the matter.

          Fully stressed i7 6700k system uses under 110W, a NVidia 1060 fully stressed uses 122W, so combined these use 232W. Games do not stress the hardware anywhere near as much, if the user never runs a torture test test on both CPU and GPU at the same time, a well built 310W will not get to 90% load with peak power pulls.

    The listed "Video ports by graphics card" (GeForce GTX 745, GTX 750, GTX 960) do not apply to the model in the deal, as it contains a GeForce GTX 1070.

    • Dual Link DVI-I
    • HDMI 2.0
    • 3x DisplayPort 1.4

        • jlc123 on 19/02/2017 - 10:13

          There's been a few Metabox laptops with 1060s posted here over the last few months for less than 1.8k and 1070s for ~2.2k. Laptops aren't that more expensive anymore, probably due to them being the large majority of the market vs desktops now. Keep in mind that the laptops mentioned come with a screen, keyboard and often a service plan which would make up a part of the price difference. The advantage with desktops is now mostly to do with customisability and scraping out the best performance at the high end.

      That's also a decent deal, but I think the Dell offers a better warranty (12 months onsite) too which can't be underestimated for those who may need it.

      I'm actually really tempted by the XPS since it works out to be about half of my budget for a gaming PC albeit I originally was planning to get a laptop with eGPU support.

    • macgregors on 19/02/2017 - 18:45

      Lucylake it isnt bad but it does cheap out In a few areas most importantly the motherboard is preety cheap and dosent offer all the functionality of the one in the deal. If you can build a PC by yourself I'd highly reccomend it here is one I chucked together didnt pay to much attention to prices and you could easily knock $100-250 off if you needed. It has a better cpu motherboard powersupply (arguably a better case this one has tempted glass) https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/6RTtHN remember you have to add on the cost of windows and the rgb lights to this.

          I think what people are referring to is that it may be the same listing on ebay but the specs are different. Dell change the price and the description (specs) but use the same listing on ebay. You can see this by going to the revisions tab on the link you posted. If in deed you did buy one with a GTX 1070, can you please answer the question posted earlier about what power supply comes with the GTX 1070 version as this is very useful info for people wanting to upgrade in the future.

          The keys you get for $20 are no more legitimate than the torrented ones, you are just basically paying someone else to steal/break license terms. For some people though ignorance of where it comes from is sufficient to justify it to themselves, after all "they" didn't steal it.

      The Z170P-D3 requires DDR3 so you'd have to change to that (preferably DDR3L as Skylake isn't made to run on standard 1.5V DDR3 and that could cause damage to the CPU in the long run). Also, no OS, WiFi card, and I don't think the power supply has a 6+2 pin connector for the GPU from memory (plus it's of questionable quality, although I've had a positive experience with their OEM case bundled supplies).

      Don't think the 7700 would be compatible with the Z170 board out of the box withoit a BIOS update, which would require a Skylake CPU. I think MSY is clearing out the D3 Z170 boards, so don't think they'll be new from ASUS with the updated bios (although if they're nice, they might update in store for a small cost).

        I am sure a compatible board would be at a similar cost.
        I just pick out the first parts I see that's closest to what Dell is offering.
        If anyone is serious about building a custom rig, I suggest you do more research into the individual parts, nonetheless the cost should be similar.

      missing a few parts in your comparison

      • Travis J on 19/02/2017 - 13:17

        yeah, it's not a perfect comparison, but close enough.
        That's why I over-priced the keyboard and mouse to make up for it :)
        My main point is, if you're in the market for a new rig with $1900 to spend, it's worth it to look at one with GTX 1080.

    Disappointed when they make simple cutbacks with these high end units though.

    Number of ports were cut back in this latest model. Affects me as I used the audio line in. A pretty basic connector, but with it no longer there rules it out for me.

    Will this run Solitaire?

    I just put together a custom PC and this deal has me worried I made the wrong decision. Oh well, plight of the bargain-hunter: there are always better bargains.

    Really don't recommend this system if you're looking to be doing more than a little gaming. It will be loud and hot.

    • KaTst3R on 19/02/2017 - 15:52

      The case looks like it has sufficient air space and flow, it shouldn't be an issue. Fans these days are pretty silent.

      • jace88 on 19/02/2017 - 18:56

        There are some reviews which have said it's not as quiet as others but at this price point for a prebuilt PC, it seems decent enough for most gaming needs.

  • belongsinforums on 19/02/2017 - 17:35

    Would this be powerful enough for VR?

    • ACTGBilly on 19/02/2017 - 17:39

      Yes. 1070 and high end CPU plus fast storage/much RAM. All good for VR. Might take a while for headsets to come down in cost… the Chinese ones improving according to PC Tech Authority

      • belongsinforums on 19/02/2017 - 19:13

        cheers buddy. might wait for VR software to develop further

  • lostn on 19/02/2017 - 22:02

    I wish they would specify what brand RAM, SSD, PSU, GPU they used.

    Why did they go for single channel 16GB ram instead of 2x8GB?

    • FabMan on 20/02/2017 - 08:41

      For gaming Dual Channel offers little to no benefits, but by leaving a slot free you can upgrade to more RAM.

      • lostn on 20/02/2017 - 19:18

        I don't think you're going to need 32GB of RAM.

        And there should be 4 slots anyway, right?

        • FabMan on 20/02/2017 - 20:18

          I won't need 32GB of RAM for anything soon. Yep 4 slots, so I guess 2 x 8GB is probably a better option for most even if the performance gained from it is minimal, its still something.

    Not a bad little rig for the money, onsite warranty, anti virus, keyboard/mouse and free shipping add to the appeal. I'm always checking out the outlet and have picked up a few dells over the last 10 years, all been pretty good and done some good mileage.

  • MementoMori on 22/02/2017 - 15:05

    Hey guys. I really like this system, although I'm not much of a gamer these days. Does anyone know of a comparable Dell without such a strong graphics card?

    From what I can tell if I spec 'up' the cheaper Dell system to 16GB ram, I'm imagine I'll be paying close to the price of this one.

    Also any comments on any smaller desktop non-gaming PCs would be appreciated :)
