Okay is it just me or did everyone miss the fact that the first rig has a 420W CASE power supply?

Yeah, that wont run a 9800 GX2. You would need a much better power supply.

I changed the monitor size to a 19" and it sayved me like $350. So i upgraded the power supply to a 900W Warlock or something like that. Can that run it?

Ok thanks for the feedback guys. It is imossible for me to build a computer, im only 17 years and would have no idea what to do.

Im going to go with the first one because as some of you said the 9800 is much better than the one in the Alienware. I also heard Alienware is overpriced just because of the case ...and that it's "Alienware" brand.

By the way, its really around $2,000. The 22" monitor adds about $500. I think i may just lower it to a 19".

What i am trying to say is, is that this can NOT be considered "extra content" ..The game isnt even out yet, they still have the ability to put these in the final version.

Extra Content is things that come out after the game has been released. So the game doesnt die down.

Weapons should already be in the game. The game has not even been released yet, yet they are still planning on releasing these weapons as DLC payable only. ..Lol, that tells you something.

Bad Company is just a quick money campaign to test out their new Frostbite Engine.

There are weapons already in the game, and the DLC ones don't have any advantage over the ones already in the game, there's always something equal to them. I didn't see you crying when R6V had packs of maps and weapons that you had to pay for, or any other games that have them. Every company does that, so stop having a double standard

THE GAME HAS YET TO BE RELEASED.

It is different if the game has been out for months or so. But if the game hasnt even come out yet and they want you to pay for weapons is just another EA scam.

..im not even gonna comment on Vegas ..never even played that game due to the Frames and have no idea where you came up with that.

DO NOT BUY EA GAMES!

All they want is your money! I do not see why people have not figured this out yet. The only reason why they want to delay the game is to add downloadable content to it that you have to pay for ...like things that should be in the game. EA will not make this game any better ..except add there laggy dedictated servers for online play and bad support to the consumers. Besides, every game released can always be better, no game will ever be perfect.

Many Battlefield fans are boycotting against "Battlefield: Bad Company" because of this. If you want to be a part of this head over to http://forums.ea.com/mboards/forum.jspa?forumID=4246 and let EA know that this is NOT acceptible.

The reason why i got my mommy to buy me a Xbox 360 was because the PS3 is just some hunk of crap firmware piece of poo with the worst gaming controllers ever made and the online play is trashy but it is still struggling to make its way as the number one gaming console is America.

The Xbox 360 is OFFICIAL. Its where the gaming is at.

PLAYSTATION = DEAD....

Yea, im a Xbox fanboy ..MARK MY WORDS. >>>> ...everyone starts off nuetral.

Halo 3 is way better then COD4 in the long run. COD4 is a fun game 'till you hit the first level 55 then it can get boring very quickly. There is so much more online on Halo then there is on COD4. Theatre, Screenshots, Forge, Campaign Multiplayer, Bungie.net stats, and etc. COD4 just has a lobby. Thus Halo 3 better in the long run. I personally think they are both boring after awhile though.

I think the COD4 Campaign is amazing, but the multiplayer just isnt there. It's like the same thing over and over again.

I like them both, but i cant wait to see Battlefield: Bad Company destroy COD4 on multiplayer.

Battlefield Bad Company won't touch CoD4's MP, Battlefield 3 more than likely but not the consolized version of a great series. :P

Hmm, seems pretty ignorant to say at the least. Call of Duty 4 is ALREADY getting boring to much of its fans. There is not much to do online, you just do the same thing over and over again. Believe me, it does get boring.

Battlefield is going to have so much more to offer online than COD4 has. Well **** come to think of it. Battlefield: Modern Combat for the original Xbox is still a better game.

The new BF:BC has a the new Frostbite engine along with a new sound chip also which makes it sound much better. ...Watch some videos of BF: BC, it is amazing.
