This seems like a good deal to me but I am not too informed on gaming PCs.
Intel® Core™ i7-6700 Processor (8MB Cache, up to 4.0GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition with 8GB GDDR5X 16GB (2x8GB) 2133MHz DDR4 Non-ECC 460W PSU Air Cooled w/ out ODD
Dell have £350 saving until 2nd August but if you use code "SAVE12UK" you get 12% off, code is expiring end of tomorrow.
Can anyone tell me why I shouldn't get this and recommend something else. Just want something to pay the latest games at high quality

You don't list the hard drive but feel it important to state air cooled PSU :confused:

Manufacturers such as Nvidia are very conservative when quoting power figures to play it safe.
The 400W you recorded at the wall was the AC input whereas PSUs are rated for DC output.
So if your PSU is 90% efficient at that output level the DC output is 360W which gives more headroom.
Dell have control of this system so know what they are doing.

That's the chassis, so it tells you the PSU wattage, system cooling and whether it has a bay for an OD.
Nothing to do with if the PSU is air cooled! :confused:

Hard drives are not very expensive or difficult to change...most people, as evidenced by the comments, want to know about the PSU in regards to future upgrades to GPU etc......also i might have forgot to paste the hard drive information :stuck_out_tongue:

I'd only budge if it comes with an actual Alien

On the surface this looks a good deal for a prebuild, that said I still wouldn't touch it with a barge pole if it were my money.

Dell outlet has better deals for this.
I got above with 32gb. Liquid cooled. 500gb nvme drive and 2tb drive for £1370 inc vat and delivery.

Thats not much better, you are getting an extra 16Gb more memory and a 2GB hard drive - worth £150 max, for it esentially being second hand.

wow I just saw the price of memory at the moment. Dam Brexit.

Isn't a 460W PSU a bit too low for a 1080?

No it's not. GTX 1080 FE is 180W

That was my first thought, that card is has a 250W TDP, add on the CPU for another 65W, other components let's say 50W and you haven't got a lot of change from that 460W on the PSU - I'm guessing it's an 80 Plus Silver at best (as that's what Dell fits to many of its workstations).
Dell never used 'generic components', it's probably a Foxconn or Lite-on PSU which is fine.
