Sorry for the late reply. They weren't for a while but might be selling them now. It looks like you would need to call into Dell Spare Parts directly though as it is probably a case by case basis. I am only noticing limited options on Dell.com still and mainly only for retail cards. I am hoping as these become more available it might change back to being able to see them on the site.
You can upgrade to any Ampere graphics card that will physically fit in your case, which will be approximately <272mm long and <124mm wide. Most dual fan graphics cards will fit, if the width is not too great. Not many 3 fan graphics cards will fit. The nVidia RTX 3070 Founders Edition will fit without any case modification. As mentioned, your PSU will also be a factor.
If you choose to water cool your graphics card, more options will be available.
Thanks for the response. I'm just not seeing the point in linking to, or pasting a list of Validated OEM graphics cards if those are not available for purchase. That just doesn't seem to be helpful at all to OP, who wants to upgrade their GTX 1650 graphics card.
Good point . . . I guess there is a micro market of Alienware enthusiasts that would purchase used electronics off eBay.
The other link is more peculiar. How is Compeve able to acquire bulk, new Dell product to scalp a $500 graphics card for $1,200 at The Egg Store? Interestingly, they are not scalping that same Dell RTX 3070 graphics card on their own web site.

See this FAQ for compatible graphic cards: Alienware graphics cards
Do keep in mind power supply requirements for those cards.
