It's a Clevo rebranded laptop.

Majority of humanity in this day and age.

Majority of Dells machines are based off Clevo designs.

Parts a availability for Eluktronics is quite good. It's a laptop design from Clevo which is used by many mainstream companies. It has even better parts availability over Alienware.

Just out of curiosity, did you reuse your old PSU cables or did you swap all the old cables for the new ones? If you used your old EVGA cables with the new seasonic, you might have just fried your system.

Completed, though the cpu/GPU choices are non issues to me. Either AMD or Intel is fine by me. I go by price to performance and what is currently available.

That is just a bit more than I paid for mine, but yours has a better cpu. Not bad. Just remember to check their website for the free items as well. I personally love my Prometheus XVII laptop.

Assuming things you know nothing about is a dangerous practice.

I myself got an Eluktronics Prometheus XVII laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 5800h, ryx 3080 Max P, 32 gigs ddr4 3200 ram, 1tb m.2 ssd, 17 inch 165 hrz color calibrated display. I spent right about 2500 shipped to my house. It has very good thermals, nice display and runs at 2k resolution. The only things that are a bit lackluster but still not bad are the keyboard and trackpad. I personally like the customer service from them and the fact that it doesn't look like a gaming machine.

Dual citizenship. Canada and USA.

Most likely needs a bios update on the motherboard.

Personally I wouldn't overclock it. Most of the time you will hit thermal throttle limits which sucks to deal with.

Pandora plus, YouTube premium, and audible. I'm a truck driver. Audible and Pandora are for when I'm driving. YouTube premium is basically my version of t.v. Also use Hulu+, Amazon prime and many others.

I go the manly way....with a pneumatic drill with a good bit on it ...and just hope for the best. Going to make sure that motherboard isn't going to move an inch. But on a serious note, I use the ifixit kit as well. My wife bought me the pro kit a few years ago and we use it all the time.

Personally I would avoid Razer products. Their customer service and build quality leaves a lot to be desired. But if your only choosing between those....I would do the 1080p version. Though I would aim more towards 2k resolution with 165hz refresh display.
