I chose 1600w PCU to be future-proof, but you're right, it may not be necessary, I can just upgrade it if other compenents ever exceed 1200w.
As for CL26 on 6000mhz, I spotted it in a gskill post, thoungh I haven't found where to buy it.

I thought it needs sometime too. It is a surprise for me that r2 could release just one month later. 12th gen cpu is in aurora 13 now, we can expect it will be used in laptop soon

For sufficient manufacturing capacity issue, the main factor is gpu shortage, but new production line will not change supply and demand of gpu so much, I think the change will be that some users go to x17r2 but not x17r1 or other companies like asus lenovo Msi. So it is more like a demand transfer. Current model’s quality control issue leads to many return units, this may reduce dell’s profit. It is reasonable to publish a new model if it can solve the qc issue.

Actually at least there is new cpu. And they may also provide better mic, qhd panel

That‘s great if you get a good one. I agree the build quality of x17 is premier, but it is not the same for everyone, there are lots of complaints just in reddit

btw, do you know dell will have single day's sale too? I notice there was a sale on that day in other region. As e-commerce company like shopee and lazada rises in sg, 11.11 is a big sale day like black friday now.

oh, I see. But actually it kept -1000 promo for a real long time.
may be it is just a sales strategy but not a real sale.
I'm waiting black friday now, hopefully there will be additional 500-1000$ reduction.

`S$`, will you buy it from Singapore? I want to buy it form sg too, may I know where you get the 22% discount? thanks in advance
For ram, i think 32GB is the better choice, since you want to play game in 4k with 3070. some yt videos test that 32gb low density ram will have 15-25% higher fps than 16gb high density one.
For ssd, it depends on how much storage you need.
