Thats a very good gaming PC. I checked the specs on Alienware and thats like $3k+. You can really save money by building those specs on your own. When I went on Newegg to pick those specs, it came out to about $2200. That AGEIA Physx is not necessary IMO, the 7950GX2 can pretty much handle anything on its own. Plus theres very few games that support it. If you drop the AGEIA, you can save yourself $250 right there, buy something else.

I agree that's a god computer but don't buy it. Build a computer that is similar to it.

I agree. It has to much power that isnt worht it right now anyway, you would just get ripped off ultimatley.

If you're getting a gaming computer, just buy the parts and build it like they said. Or buy it from me! (www.talktc.com) Also, I'd suggest overclocking a 4400+ instead of buying a 4600+. The 4400+ has twice the L2 Cache, and that makes a big difference. Just my 2 cents.

^^ nice way to advertise. The alien ware is alot of money but if you want you can visit monarchcomputers.com and see how much they are going to cost you there. Alien ware cost alot but i think you might like the price a bit better then them. If you are planning on overclockin i would do like dipique said. It well save you money.
