Well im going to go with Alienware.

Intel 8400 @3.0Ghz

4GB DDR2-800 2x2024

nVIDIA 9800GT 512MB

Vista Home 64-bit

750Watt PS

nForce 750i Motherboard

and its all upgradable for the future + ill have a great case.

So you'd buy Alienware but not Dell? Oh the irony!CellAnimation

Yea, ..kinda like a fanboy thing. I hate Dell.

I am still going to buy a new rig soon but im having trouble finding out where i should buy it from. I was about to go with CyberPowerPC which was a great rig for $1300.00 but ive read around and found that sometimes they do not build rigs correctly and put defective and refurbished parts in systems and i dont have enough experience/knowledge with building pc's to fix something thats wrong.

So i went over to the Alienware website, yes i said it, Alienware... and found that they just released a new system "Alienware 750i" which really isnt all that overpriced with the right setup. So if i buy from them atleast i know im getting new parts put in my rig, and that its setup correctly.

But i would love to get a better rig from CyberPowerPC for the same price but im not so sure i can trust them?

So any advice as to where i should get my rig from? What about HP?...Even though id rather stay away from them, Dell, and Gateway this time... And no i dont want to build my own PC.

4850 is the best out of those, do you have a decent psu?Captain__Tripps

I have an 800W PS.

ATI Radeon HD 4850 PCI-E 16X 512MB Video Card

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 1GB 16X PCI Express

NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 16X PCI Express

ATI Radeon HD 4850 PCI-E 16X 512MB Video Card +2 dollars...

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 1GB 16X PCI Express +8 dollars...

Ok so i decided to take the risk of buying a rig from CyberpowerPC, heres what i came up with for $1300.00 ..and no i dont want to build my own rig, so is this setup ok for those games?

I think i will eventually add another 9800GT but i am for sure adding 4 more gigs of RAM sooner or later.

Sorry, what i meant by gaming is like Warcraft III, World of Warcraft, Diablo III, Starcraft II.. These rigs should run those games right?

I have an Xbox 360 + HDTV for the high-end games.

Simple question, i'd like to know which setup is better for gaming. They are both the same price at $999.99.
