No. that system is worth about $1000, $1200 at most. $2100 is an absolute rapping, never mind the regular $2950.

Alienware tax strikes again. Try someone like iBuyPower, maybe you'll see some better value.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I know. Still awful deal. How did you even do that? Here's a similar computer, $1500,without cutting any corners on the build you were looking at. And yes, it's Canadian Rubles. Look for literally any other computer, that's an atrocious deal.
