    I would never go with Dell ever!!! After seeing my parents get suckered into a wasted $1200 computer!!! Sure 8GB RAM sounds nice, intel i5...the ATI 5450 speaks volume about the type of computer your really getting. Since that card is among the lowest 5000 series, it doesnt require much power, or give you much performance. So from that you can tell that the Power Supply your gonna get will be bear minimum to run the specs of the computer listed and the motherboard will prob only support a single Graphics card, most likely limited to the 8gb ram too.
    I possible do more research online with Newegg.com or whatever US stores. Try to make it clear to your parents that if you source the parts from Newegg or somewhere else you will be getting much more, for the same price. And tell them that it won;t be a pile of **** after a year.

    Sometimes measuring the bottleneck can be interpreted in so many ways. The only Thing ATI can render better then Nvidia is BSoD.

    LOL

    anyway, since Lockerz let me down (they never freaking restocked the redemption like they said they would :icon_evil: ) I'm gonna wait till my scholarship money comes in this fall, THEN buy this rig. I just got an xbox 360 elite refurb for now..only cost me $200 with 2 controllers :P been wanting one ever since they came out. would have gotten the slim, but it's too new to show any of its possible issues.
