Yeah, for this desktop pretty good. I was looking at it a couple months ago at about $1505 not including the Dell Preferred Account bonus. Didn't pull the trigger then but thinking about it now.
For me the real issue is that Nvidia's Ampere cards will be announced in the summer most likely, and the 10th gen Intel core i7 is on a new socket so no chip upgrades with this one. The new RTX is rumored to be a major step forward which also makes me hesitate a bit.
I don't need the bleeding edge but I want something to run at 1440p ultra settings now and high settings for several years. $1500 seems a pretty good price for that as no doubt an i7 10700 / RTX3080 combo will run over $2K this fall. But the questions are will RTX2080 Super start choking on bigger ray tracing tasks as it becomes a more popular tech in games? And will a lack of hyperthreading in i7-9700K (added back in for 10th-gen) do the same? Wish I knew.
