Buying new PC (graphic card)

Both of those systems will run that list of games, pretty well at that.

Personally, I'd go with the XPS.

As said above, both will run the games quite well.

For me personally i'd go for option 2, it seems like a better deal u get an 8800GT and a monitor.

The first option is OK But, the GTX is "old" tech and overpriced compared to the GT and it comes with no monitor.

He's actually getting a monitor with the dell. I recommend the dell because GTX is faster than GT.

Make sure you tell people you DON'T want to build your own, as that will prob be 50% of their adviceLecithin67

How did you get 2 ultras SLId with an x38 mobo?

Anyway, I'd build my own, but between those two, I'd go with the first one.

It's called "sly-fire" mix one ati with one nvidia card, chipsets whatever, and hack bios wth extra volts!!!!! (2.7ma) and make sure your db15 ports disabled with hdmi, its just a new extension to the windows format. thats all.

i can't run two cards in sli on the xps420 right?

How about the second system from the left, will that play all the games well? It has a SINGLE 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT card

Yes...I also "lol" at your misinformation. The GTX is in fact old tech, nearly a year old now. The GT and new GTS are new tech.

That is fair enough, but the Ultra is still the best performing card around, even if it is old. If you have the money to buy the best, why not buy one? I agree that it is certainly not best bang for buck, but the age of something is irrelevant-it is simply about how it performs.
