Thank you. I have never had an over clocked before. I am looking at a Alienware with duel cards and it is tempting.

I was actually going to suggest that you lose the "K" on that Core I7 you posted about with that great Digital Storm computer your posted. Unless you are into overclocking yourself, it is totally unnecessary and more expensive.
You also have to consider what types of games you play - If you are into the newest shooters and RPGs, then you need a pretty beefy computer. If you only play adventure games, then you just need good specs, but perhaps not the top of the line.

Fabulous computer if you're planning on playing all the high end shooters!
Like I said, what kind of gaming are you planning on using this computer for?
