The price actually is not at all bad especially as you will get some sort of warranty out them as well and the fact that it is all put together and ready to go...You can buy of the shelf and build yourself and get to roughly the same or less in price like this which does not include windows, but overall a much better balanced build especially for a 9900K. The memory in Alienware could and should be faster at 3200Mhz instead of 2666 and the Alienware motherboard is not really good enough as it should be a Z390 with a good VRM setup as below. The M.2 SSD is much bigger, better and faster in the build below and you have a proper Gold 850w power supply below :

With Windows 10 Pro you would be at $2200 for the above build...But it is just to show you what is possible for that money....
