Actually not a bad price, I wouldve paid a little more for at least a 3070

Nice, I just paid $400 for a i7-7700hq with a 1060

I'll trade ya

Yea, here's a comparative PC (excluding GPU), and it's ~$800:

So I think it's pretty good, especially with 3060 Ti. When I "built" this on Dell, the only option was for the 3060 Ti.

Yeah. Almost two years ago I paid ~$1400 for a laptop with a 2060 in it, and it still plays everything pretty comfortably. You should be good for a while.

Thats on the lower end for AlienWare, tbh

I had a similar setup, but mom left it on charge while I took a week vacation. Fried all the silicone. Warranty was voided.

Normally, I'd shit on someone for buying Alienware, knowing what I know about Dell and Alienwares, but you got a decent deal there. My only concern.... is that it seems like each of your products came from EA....

Yeah, you should be set for a good while. It will be great for 1440p gaming.

Honestly, the 3070 only gets about 10 fps more than the 3060 ti on a lot of games. That's not worth the extra money to everyone.

Son of a bitch, the 3060 Ti they sent me is an LHR version, not an FHR (Non-LHR) version like advertised in the packing slip.

I've been on the phone with them for the past 30 minutes, being transferred 4 times, and nobody knows wtf I'm talking about. Ugh.

Nice.
