@@creativevit5961 I just got the R11 1650/I-5 10400 air-cooled model for a deal price. If you have the 1660, you possibly have air cooling and the 550w power supply. For the CPU if you stick to air cooling your options are limited to the 65w i7 10700 or any other 10th gen 65w processor. If you get a used liquid cooler your options are much better as Many of the I7/I9 options are rated at 125w and the AIO is rated for those CPUs. I chose the i5-10600K (125W) and got a used OEM water cooler off of fleabay. As for graphics, If you have the 550w PSU, you will be limited to around a 220w GPU like the AMD 6650, Intel arc A770, RTX 3050, 3060, 2060 or a standard 2070 (non TI or S) and below. Be aware the card slot is 12 inches and Dell GPUs are custom 10.5 inch. Also remove any hard drive from the 3.5 bay as it seriously restricts airflow in the case. You can install a fan in the 3.5 bay connected with a PWM splitter if you feel the need. As for PSUs if you want high power GPUs, you will need the 1000w PSU from the R10-R12 series, be sure to get all the cables. Hope this helps.

I fairly sure from doing some digging that the 3070 is a Gigabyte blower model that is simply rebranded. The 2070 Super in my own R11 is simply a PNY blower model. Blower models have their own pros and cons (mainly in that they are typically louder, but exhaust air outside of the case), and they generally perform on par other models. The R11s cooling doesn't really suit itself to overclocking the GPU. I am able to run a 5.1GHZ overclock with an under-volt on my 10700K with my radiator mod with no issues though.

In this build it is a 10700KF, Nvidia RTX 2070 Super and 1000 watt power supply. It also came with a 1TB NVME and 16GB of RAM. I upgraded the RAM to 32GB of 3000MHZ DDR4 as it was cheaper to do it myself than to pay the usual RAMson fee charged by PC manufactures.

Can i sell the gpu and upgrade it in the future??

The F in Intel's ridiculous naming scheme simply refers to a CPU that does not have Intel onboard graphics. The K refers to a CPU with an unlocked multiplier and can be overclocked. So the 10700KF in this machine means it does not have onboard graphics and is overclockable.

@@mrchairmold2979 The KF is a K series CPU without onboard graphics. In short, the KF series are K series CPUs whose IGP (integrated graphics processor) did not pass certification. Intel released the KF series to make up for the lack of supply for its K series CPUs. There are even reports of the KF series overclocking better than their K counter parts (but the reasons for this are dubious at best); my semi-professional engineering untested hypothesis is that disabling the graphics core and the pin reduction results in less heat and hence possibly better overclocks.

Are you talking adding a 16GB stick to the existing 8GB stick? That actually will cause an error due to dual channel issues. RAM sticks should be the same make and model, and if you only have 2 sticks, should be plugged into the same color of RAM slot on the MOBO.

This has always been an issue with Intel, and it doesn't matter who you buy (or even build) your computer from. Intel loves to change the socket of the CPU from year to year, and so you are typically stuck with an upgrade path with in the same generation of CPU (unless you want to replace the motherboard and RAM too). AMD Ryzen is better known for sticking with the same socket for a little bit; ie. the 2000 series Ryzen and 3000 Ryzen both use the same socket and a clear upgrade path is in place. Dell does offer an AMD Ryzen version of the Aurora, but they are actually not very cost competitive (most likely due to the Intel's generous bulk pricing for Dell). That said, the money you would spend on an 8 to 15 percent increase from CPU generation to generation (nowadays anyway) would be better spent on upgrading your graphics card or adding an NVME harddrive. Just look at the fact that the Intel 7700K from a few years ago is still a very capable processor when paired with a current graphics card.

You can remove the Intel CPU from the MOBO. I myself have unseated the heatsink and reapplied / upgraded the thermal paste. The CPU is not soldered to the mainboard; that is something you typically only see in laptops and SOC (system on a chip) style systems. The downside of Intel CPUs is that Intel loves to change the socket of the CPU from generation to generation (ie: year to year typically). This means that you are stuck with whatever generation of CPU you have as an upgrade path. Compared to AMD who typically keeps the same sockets for a few years. For example, an AMD 3600X ZEN 2 could easily be upgraded to a 5600X ZEN 3 with the same MOBO (though you might lose out on some new features like upgraded PCI-e lanes or memory support due to the old MOBO not supporting them), while a 10th gen Intel CPU could only be upgraded to another 10th gen Intel CPU.

So you can't upgrade the CPU
