    Is the PSU capable enough for this build?

      The psu is 500w as specified and has been configured and tested by Dell to work with this system. If you have any issues you are covered by Dell 1yr warranty.

    I have been thinking about buying a gaming computer for a while now as I have never owned one but my friends are starting to get into it. I'm a complete noob but I was thinking about getting something that I can upgrade instead of replacing when it becomes obsolete. All the comments on this post seem to say that it cant be upgraded, is that just a particular part cant be upgraded or is it just expensive to upgrade because you need to buy the bits from dell, or is it the case that it cant be upgraded at all and I will basically have to replace it when it becomes obsolete?

    • AssociatedKeRRR @ Dell on 25/11/2020 - 21:54

      You can upgrade certain components of this pc. Examples are ram, gpu, cooler, storage, etc. The thing is, a system of this caliber should last you years before needing to upgrade. Most users only recommendation is upgrading to 32gb of ram which is relatively simple and possibly upgrading the cooler for better heat dissipation. Both can be done to this system!

      • reachdigital on 25/11/2020 - 22:32

        How can I do the upgrade of the RAM and cooler ?

    • odysseus on 25/11/2020 - 21:56

      You can upgrade the main parts readily, but some come from the background of changing everything. For example, you can modify the graphics card, memory and expansion slots as you need. But if you want to go down to motherboard level you can't. Some like complete flexibility which this won't give.

    • pointblank on 25/11/2020 - 22:00

      When I bought the XPS 8700 7 years ago I thought the exact same thing, however I just kept playing and playing and never thought again about upgrading until a couple years ago when I put in an SSD. At the start of this year I replaced the thermal paste.
      They were literally the only upgrades I made.
      Now I've got this bad boy on the way :P

    Is there a spare PCIe slot for a TV card? It looks like it only has three slots in total. One is for the graphics card. Are either (or both) of the others free?

    • applebernie on 27/11/2020 - 13:08

      I think there will be 1 PCIEX4 and 1 PCIE x1

    These things are room heaters. 125W TDP CPU, 220W video card. Yikes!

    Do these have a dBA rating with all the fans running on high during summer?

    Nice pc, but my budget is only $1300, the card is an overkill for me. Wish there was a deal for like 1660ti or 2060

    • AssociatedKeRRR @ Dell on 25/11/2020 - 22:25

      There is this with a 1660ti for a little more than your budget ($1679.20)

      • Homr on 25/11/2020 - 22:26

        Thanks, but only a $300 saving going from 3070 to 1660ti?

        • wjb on 25/11/2020 - 23:15
          +1

          you are better off buying this 3070 and sell the GPU on FB marketplace/Gumtree for $900-1k.
          Use that money to buy a good value GPU like RX570-580

          • Homr on 25/11/2020 - 23:40

            @wjb: Thanks thats a good idea, but can I really sell the GPU for $1k though?

          • Ebaygiftcards on 26/11/2020 - 00:42

            @wjb: Doubt it. Plus from memory the gtx/rtx are oem cards that’s missing a back plate, so it looks ugly af in a transparent case.

    • sTein0 on 26/11/2020 - 07:18
      +5

      Please do not buy a Dell pre-built that's not a decent deal like this one, which even this I would not purchase. For 1300 you should expect at least a Rx 5600 xt or even a 5700 xt. These dell units have horrible airflow, cooling, questionable PSUs, proprietary connections and only a year warranty. These Dell pre-builts give the illusion of a top end machine, but apart from the CPU and GPU, which dell cannot manufacture, everything else is well below in terms of quality compared to the CPU and GPU.

      • Homr on 26/11/2020 - 07:27

        thanks, will not buy then

  • reachdigital on 25/11/2020 - 22:20

        • GaAs on 25/11/2020 - 23:21

    • bevo on 25/11/2020 - 23:36

      Was that through ebay messages, or an email address?

    • Usernames on 26/11/2020 - 05:32

      Sounds like a good idea. No point having the optical drive these days. Any downsides with lower voltage RAM in terms of performance? Bit of Googling suggests there shouldn’t be.

    • AssociatedKeRRR @ Dell on 26/11/2020 - 01:51

      I can't comment on the fans, but you can definitely reduce noise by going Noctua fans (much quieter). I am not sure if this will affect your Dell warranty, so please check that before customisations.

    Tempted to buy it just for the 3070 but not if it's going to be a horrible cheap blower type model.

    • anarky on 26/11/2020 - 10:52

    Geez if this i7-10700k, RTX 3070 config can get away with:

      - a generic 500w psu, 
  - a little case without top venting 
  - only that little fan at the back ...

    Does it mean that we've all been massively overspecking our PSUs, Cases, and Cooling solutions and all the associated discussions on these forums have been pointless?

    • drazenm on 26/11/2020 - 11:10
      +4

      Yup, power of marketing, geeks, geeky sponsored influencesrs, overclockers (like its built to fly to the moon and back) no one actually took anything into any real life calculation. Think that the whole industry has been overblown out of proportion, it's all about achieving sales. It's good to have quality components and some more air but it's gone too far overall.

    • Jabba the Hutt on 26/11/2020 - 12:08

      I do think people go a bit overboard with PSU wattage, although it often doesn't add much to the price, and people seem to value the headroom more than efficency.

      But having read the Reddit and Dell forum posts about the 8940 (linked in previous comments here), it's a bit of a reminder that the top-end desktop CPUs, especially on the Intel side, really do need a decent heatsink and airflow even at stock speed. This system's design seems to be borderline and possibly even inadequate, given the trouble some people are going to to mod the thing to improve cooling despite not overclocking.

    • raybies on 26/11/2020 - 14:11

      Yes, I ran an i5 6600 + 1070 with a 200w psu.

      https://www.techspot.com/review/2124-geforce-rtx-3070
      Ryzen 9 3950X + RTX 3070 pushed total system usage to 371 watts. So for the i7 about 350w, which gives you ~50w extra for periferals and 100w surge margin.

      I would have preferred a 650w PSU, but we just have to settle for edequate.

      WTF y'all running that needs more than 650w?

      Most PSU's efficiency curve is optimal at 60-80% load, while platinum ones is 70-90%.

  • kevsta on 26/11/2020 - 11:37

    If the PSU fails, can I get a replacement from any computer retailer or can it only be purchased from Dell ?
