So i bought all this because i was at the shops with a couple of friends and my mate was looking for this sort of stuff instead of him buying one (ALIENWARE) i bought one :p
Alianwares are a waste of money, if want a desktop just piece one together by purchasing the case, and CPU's and the other stuff. Its cheaper and more customizable.
The following user groaned bevy300 for this awful post:
For half the price, my friend built a PC that plays Battlefield 3 at 95fps constant on ultra, and Minecraft (lol) at 330fps with water shader on.
-AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition 3.7GHz
-I believe a P67 Motherboard
-8GB RAM
-1TB Western Digital Caviar Black
-GTX 560 (I want to say Zotac, but not 100%
-650W Thermaltake PSU
-Antec Three Hundred (has blue LEDs and 4 built-in fans, his system doesn't run over 47 celsius at full load with all stock cooling
Including the optical drive, the bill plus shipping was $999.60.
I still do like alienware's because of their design, but you still could have been a little smarter with your cash.

I'm calling BS on that. A 560 will only get around 30-40FPS at most on a 1080p monitor, and not that the CPU makes a huge difference. But AMD sucks balls for their CPUs.

My 580 does not even hit those FPS's constantly on Ultra.

Won't hit 95, or won't hit 30-40? I hope you don't mean the latter otherwise you got a defective card. :p
I know my 6950 averages around 55 on Ultra with 1080p, and the 560Ti has slightly lower performance the the 6950, and then the 560 is a good bit lower than the 560Ti so I just assumed it would be around that, I've never actually seen any benchmarks for the 560-non Ti on any game. I only know that its comparable, but slightly worse to a 6870.
listen up guys. some of us have no clue how to build are own computers etc. yes i agree he could have gotten something better for the money but it was his choice.

A lot of sites offer to build it for you for a small fee.
