Is the XPS 8500 good for gaming?

[Guest]

I am wondering if the XPS 8500 is good for gaming. Here are some of the specs.
PROCESSOR - 3rd gen Intel® Core™ i7-3770 Processor (3.40GHz, 8MB)
HARD DRIVE - 2TB (7,200rpm) SATA Hard Drive + 32GB SSD (Intel SRT)
MEMORY - 8192MB (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3 Dual Channel Memory
GRAPHICS CARD - AMD Radeon™ HD 7770 2GB DDR5 Graphics Card

I can't get further details about these exact items, but are they good enough for gaming? I am planning to upgrade the Graphics card somewhere in the near future so if you could also give Graphics card recommendations (Not like the NVidia 690, that is too much).
Thanks

Build your own, it is much cheaper and you can get much better parts.

Much cheaper? Maybe a hundred bucks. I'd buy the xps..simply because is anything goes wrong, dell's to blame
