Dell pre-built for a not terrible price

Both are in the realms of possibility. Anything is possible with how convoluted "reality" is these days. 😀

Sad that system is probably faster than mine. How does the 1650 compare to a 970?

1650 super runs a little slower in some cases than a 980. So I’d imagine a 1650 runs slower than a 970 by a fair margin. The difference between the 1650 and 1650 super is pretty significant due to the memory bandwidth I believe.
 
Friends don't let friends buy those G5 Desktops. GN basically wiped their butts with it, the one they tested was terribad minus maybe the power supply.

The real issue was the original price which this deal has thoroughly rectified. For someone with no machine and wants one, this isn't terrible.

Seriously.

Want to swap power supply for something more powerful to put a bigger GPU? LOL NOPE. Dell did not pick standard PSU and non standard pinout on the motherboard
Want to swap motherboards? LOL NOPE. Dell made their own proprietary motherboard for this PC.

Oh is this the one that has the front IO built as part of the mobo?
 
But, people change, but the kind of people that would want to swap motherboards would not buy a pre-built or at least a dell-hp one a feel like (well maybe today in the current market where it is one way to get a GPU)
 
OEM's use the slowest memory they can with the highest CAS latency. I guess for stability so you get what you pay for, and less.
 
This desktop is not aimed at customers that would be replacing power supplies and such.

Cheap mass market PCs can have parts fail; and when they're a mountain of proprietary crap getting suitable parts to fix anything is much harder wether it's you doing it for yourself, you doing it for your less tech savvy friend, or that person paying a shop to do it for them.

I would imagine most would just throw the computer away. Or order a new part from Dell.

Yup, I've had two Dell PowerEdge T20 servers for years with proprietary things like PSU connectors, fan connectors, etc. and nothing has ever failed.
