SLI set-ups can provide problems such as microstutter, so ideally, you'd want to start off with a GTX 570 or a 7950, with the option to SLI/CFX later.
If you don't know a lot about building computers (which is evident) don't be afraid to ask for help.

Thanks Kommanche, well it's the first PC that I've ordered online. & as for building I didn't quite feel ready yet. I only have half a years course of A+ & I've never really spent much time in a PC before, so kinda scared about screwing something up.
I've yet to received the PC, & I'm going insane waiting for it. It's being sent via UPS.... Which blows. Worried about it breaking and what not, specially since I failed to put extra packaging.
But on the other hand, if it does arrive with any defect I am sending it back for a refund & I will definetly come back here for some help to build one myself.
Alot quicker and more reliable.
I ordered an Alienware off Dell the 2nd of Jan 2012. I told a buddy , he was kinda jealous so he built himself one. ordered everything online and was playing on it a week or two after that. Me I was still waiting... & finaly Dell cancels my order because they couldn't get certain parts anymore & basicaly told me to re-order... at if I can add a higher price since the "offer" I previously had was no longer available... Ended up being like 500$ more now. So **** Dell.
I decided to give another site a chance (which I won't name because people on forums tend to judge more than help) I picked everything myself. (I'm not a very big nerd in computers I tend to like to smoke a big J when I get home from work and game til it's time to go to bed! lol)
But I'm finaly decided, next time, I'm building.
