OKay, firstly, I'm stuck between getting an AlienWare computer, and making a custom one, because I might mess something up, but Alienware won't. Secondly, I've gone to various sites with the specs of the computer I want, and they all say I'm nuts because I had two NVidia 7800GTX cards, a AMD FX-57 Processor, and other good stuff. Is this stuff to much? Will it be unneccecary?
All help would be appreciated.
