I have two computers, I am wondering which is more powerful.

I would like a answer quite fast. I need to decide by the end of today...

By the way, if I get the dell, I will replace it's card with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660.

if you're comfortable building it yourself build the pcpartpicker version. it's better. for gaming

The 660 in the dell is not as good as the 280X in the other build and is therefore not as good for gaming.

You may need a new power supply in the dell to use the 660.

Where did you see the power supply? I couldn't find it on the page.

I didn't but 9 times out of 10 a dell will only have enough to support the hardware it comes with

What wattage would you recommend? I might even be using the 760 instead of the 660.
