[QUOTE="vIGAMEIv"]When you play games on a pc do you always have to have the disc in?MaoTheChimp

Most of the time, mainly because for concerns for anti-piracy. It honestly isn't much of a bother if you have a half-decent DVD drive.

Do you think this would be better then a xbox 360?Would it handle 1080pvIGAMEIv

Your system should even handle Crysis without becoming unplayable. So yes, assuming you pick the 5870 for the Dell, it will be visually much better than an XBOX 360.

[QUOTE="vIGAMEIv"]What about the memory should I pay $50.00 more for 1333Mhz DDR3 Gog

No if you pick the standard aurora system with the Ati 5870 and the 6 GB ram and you're all set for at least the next 3 years.

[QUOTE="vIGAMEIv"]Im glad everyone suggest ibuypower and building my own .O dont want to come off as a jerk because I do appreciate the advice but ipower have some pretty bad reviews along with customer service.Also I have a $1500.00 credit with dell that has no financing for 12 months that really helps.I can see if those cards are a option on the alienware.Do I need dual cards or is one fine enough?MaoTheChimp

Disregard by above post then. I didn't read your message while I was making the build suggestion.
