All looks good.

What brand is the Power supply, or is this a prebuilt?

Next time can you put spaces in between the different components :) Its hard reading that block of text.

Whats the monitor resolution you will be using?

That CPU and GPU will tear through any game at 720p or 1080p.

You should be good for two years I would say before you will start wanting a new GPU. But that really depends on how demanding newer games get.

Check out this review of the 6970:

http://www.techspot.com/review/348-amd-radeon-6970/

Now you will be playing at a slightly lower resolution. 1920x1200 is a 16:10 ratio, while you will be playing at 1920x1080 or a ratio of 16;9, so you expect maybe an extra frame per second here and there.

Essentially you want a FPS of higher than 40... (30 minumum, anything below that is getting hard to play and looks like it is stuttering), but some people like to get 60FPS (which is generally slightly faster than the human eye can pick up I think...

Sounds like you're going to be running a pretty hot CPU, hope you sprung for some good cooling. Swedish_Chef

He can cool it on air unless he lives in a desert or something...

[QUOTE="adamlovesu"] lmao ah i see what happened thar lolz sorry =( and yup its a prebuilt =) an alienware inf act suprisingly the price didnt even break 2000 for a supposedly badass rig =P just wondering if it will hold up for about a year and a half without upgrades and if it can actually max all of those games i stated without a hiccup.... (ps. i wouldnt mind anyone telling me i can pull over 100 fps in wow on highest settings =P)

Alienware....

yes lol ive decicded upon alienware... seeing as how the parts where new and being in college i have 0 free time to be my own customer support for building a rig =/ its an aurora r3 the newest model aurora announced not only a week ago... anything i should know about lol.... it was between this and a macbook pro 15 incher 2011 with a radeon 6750m

For 1800$ you could've got a 580gtx in your build easy... I'm not a PC expert but even i can see lots of money wasting in there o.Osilversix_

[QUOTE="C_Rule"][QUOTE="adamlovesu"] so my only issue is overpricing? i dont mind that if the system and case quality is nice to support updates over the years i mean it being an alienware doesnt mean its going to blowup in 3 mts right?????blurguy6

Is an alienware bios locked or not???

Cause not being able to OC that cpu would be sad!!!

Is that single video card or crossfire? If its single GPU you could've saved $500 building it yourself, but still a beast sytem that won't lag in any current or near future games in 1080p.

I go with alienware

I pay more because I don't want to pay less if it means sending American jobs overseas.

Also, building a rig sucks for the following reasons

The components on my new rig run just a few hundred more than if i purchased separately

Wiring a motherboard is a hassle

Sick of dealing with 12 different warranties on individual parts. My rig has one warranty-if it crashes I call Alienware and dont have to waste a lot of time troubleshooting different parts.
