Hmm, well if you can wait on the 3080 you can just build it yourself for cheaper. But, to answer your question, yes, Alienware pcs have been proven multiple times to be the worst

You could obviously change the gpu and case for better airflow and maybe use a 5000 series ryzen cpu (prices are US btw)
so you could easily max out your budget with and 850 watt from corsair thats 129.99 just in case you want to overclock but if you just wanna give your cpu/gpu a little headroom to boost on their own go for any 550-650 watt with at least and 80+ gold rating

If you go to the manufacturers website and search your board you can download the bios and as long as you have the working cpu in for that version you can usually extract the files on gigabytes or some other way for other manufacturers and put it on a flash drive then spam delete on reboot or the q-flash key and select the drive and click update. You can simply just look up how to install new bios on youtube but sadly i'm on a school chromebook in math right now so you know i can't send the link to the video but i did the bios update on an x570 by gigabyte
Does anyone know if the 3600x comes with games because on the amd site it show up to the 3600 but then no 3600x which seems weird to me but if your paying that extra money...
