Do the parts fit together?

No problems found. We only check what the stores' listings say. "Check fit" means they don't tell us, so look before you buy.

Check fit The case's listing doesn't say which motherboards it takes. Make sure the case takes an ATX motherboard.
Check fit We don't have the graphics card's length or the case's clearance. Compare the card's length with the case's maximum before you buy.
Check fit We don't have the cooler's height or the case's CPU cooler clearance. Compare them before you buy.
OK The processor and the motherboard are both LGA1851.
OK The memory and the motherboard are both DDR5.
OK 750W covers the 650W the RTX 5070's maker recommends.

Windows 11 Home license: $139.00 (Microsoft's price; leave it out if you already have Windows)

Total: $15,062.83

Prebuilt or build it yourself?

What the prebuilt includes: The prebuilt comes fully assembled and ready to use. It includes Windows 11 Home and Microsoft 365 Personal. You get one warranty covering the whole PC and Dell's customer support instead of dealing with individual part warranties.

Where it may cut corners:

The prebuilt doesn't list its motherboard, CPU cooler, or case—Dell chose these for you, and they may be basic models
The power supply is 750W Bronze, which is enough but not high-end
The storage is 8TB instead of the 15.36TB SSD in the parts list

Time and skill: Building from parts takes 2–4 hours if you're new to it. You need to install the CPU, RAM, storage, graphics card, and cooler. It's not hard, but it requires care and patience.

Our take: Buy the prebuilt. You save $11,712, get it ready to game today, and have one company to call if something goes wrong. Building the PC yourself costs four times as much, mostly because of the huge storage upgrade in the parts list—something you don't need. The prebuilt gives you excellent value.
