    No Thanks. I3 Gaming machine is way out dated, I5 or higher and a GTX Video card, which gets too Hot in an X51 and consumes too many watts causing stress on the power supply.

    Upgrade to a lower end i5 for $100 more (3GHz). An i3 shouldn't be an issue for a pure gaming machine. What gets me is the GPU. I wish you could add a 660 or at the least, a 650. Also worth mentioning is that this is an Ubuntu system. No Windows is included in the product description.

    Alienware might have been a decent deal with Windows 7, not Linux...

    Dell says that the core i3 3220 has turbo boost 2.0. Click the link for the X51 and check for yourselves.
