I got an alien-ware for x-mass, all i do is play wow. I want to know what kind of fps i will be looking at with this set up.
It only has an i5 500watt power. I'm worried that the i7 would have been so much better but i didn't have the money being only 17. I also plan to upgrade the graphics card to a ati 58 series with now i have a 5670 would the i5 bottleneck this card?
I was talking to dell support and i asked how i would go about upgrading the processor if i ever wanted and first they said i don't have the power supply for it i need a 875 watt. And then they said i cant anyways because dell does not support changing your processor. This is really ****ing me off because i spent 1000 bucks on this thing and i can even change stuff for the better? really?
Anyways this is the specs:
Intel Core i5 650 3.2GHz (4MB Cache)
3GB DDR3 at 1333MHz -(this will be the first thing I upgrade probably to a 6GB)
Single ATI 5670, 1GB GDDR5(planing to upgrade this aslong as the i5 wont bottle neck)
500GB - SATA-II 3Gb/s 7200RPM, 16MB Cache HDD (will stick a 1tb in here as well)
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English
What can i upgrade on this for max performance at a low cost. Also does dell still make there gear different so you cant buy after market parts like power sources? Is there a website where I can select a model of computer and it will tell me everything that will fit in it?
I love the computer its really nice looking its just a tad over-priced. If this becomes a nightmare i was going to cancel it in the 21 days i have and get a computer from ibuypower.
