3dmark vantage for an overall benchmark

HDtune for hard drive
Crysis benchmark tool for video card

you can do normal tasks to test it, for example file conversions and virus scans, involve the cpu. games and rendering involve everything. booting involves storage...etc

and BTW how much did it cost you for that alienware build?

my money is on, too much.

but yes, 3dmark vantage and some game benchmarks (specifically, crysis, FC2 and Stalker COP benchmarks) are the best to see how it compares/
