A new comp

i was just wondering, for $585 is this worth it? I have a feeling it is, because the cheapest alienware wasnt even this good.

Yeah i made the mistake of getting a lower end dell, which didnt even have a pci-e or agp slot, so i want to get a good, cheap comp that i can upgrade in the future.

I'd upgrade the vidcard. The 7300 is a budget-card, which means -ironically- it's not your money's worth. Besides you have such a nice SLI motherboard. Why not use it in the future? The 7800 and 7900 GT al excellent choices.
