Highlights
Quality
Very good computer, had it for a few month now and no issues.
Excellent machine, more than capable of running any game in ultra high settings.
- the air cooling system is woefully undersized and extraordinarily loud when the cpu is under heavy load.
The liquid cooled i7 8700 cpu is a beast, and even under heavy loads never gets more than slightly warm.
Price
This computer is amazing for the price point.
Great pc, especially for the price of around $1550.

Shipping
Shipment came one day later but i was refunded.
Packaging/appearance
Looks unlike a typical 'black crystal box' pc tower.
Hands down best looking aw case i've seen, some of them can look really ridiculous.
Competitiveness
Comparing all the top games i use to play on xbox is like night and day.
Otherwise, and i7 8700 and a 1080 with 16 gb of ddr4 and 32gb 0f intel optane should do for you.
You purchased a beast of a system, but dell has fallen behind on their system image.

Like most desktops r7 has 4 memory ports and their combination matrix are 8 8 8 16 16 16 16 16 16 i am not sure if other combination can be supported for example 8 8 16 16 if not which means while you want to upgrade to 32gb memories you have to drop your 8gb memories and that is really a waste of money
