Hey, im planning on buying this setup as my 1st dedicated gaming PC http://www.dell.com/ca/p/alienware-aurora-r3/pd?oc=daaurs_f_1e&model_id=alienware-aurora-r3. The upgrades im wondering about is for the graphics card. Would the 1GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 460, which comes standard be best or would it be better to upgrade to the (+150$) AMD Radeon™ HD 6950? Thanks for the advice, and would you be able to suggest any other opinions on that system?

In a way, I'm kind of stuck with buying from dell because it's their financing and their no interest deal that keep keep my buying interest.
How are the Dell chosen parts you/he listed inferior?
edit:...so I see you can finance at that website as well. I'm also from Canada, it may hard ordering from U.S companies to Canada.

u had better be careful buying a 2nd gen i7 right now have u read the news ? the repaired chip set isen't due of for 2 mo
I haven't read the news, all i know is Dell is prepared to sell regardless of what you might be suggesting. I know Dell has a 1 year warranty...They don't seem to be very specific, when it comes to question about the system components.
