Hello moondoggy,
 
 
Great, thank you for taking my advice! Just wanted to get you the most "bang for you buck".
 
I'm very sorry to hear about the experience with Alienware. Their customer service seemed to have went downhill once Dell bought them out. I can assure you that we test all of our computers to ensure they are free from defect once they leave our facility. Sometimes, failures happen regardless of who the custom builder is. Our warranty, however, is there to help you feel better about any of those situation and ensure you have a quality product for the duration.
 
Feel free to continue posting as you please!

    P.S.  I have waited like over 5 years to upgrade my pc due to the horror story that my last custom was...ALIENWARE Area-51 7500 to the tune of $5400 and it took 2 mobo's,3 gpu's, and 2 complete sets of ram over a 2 YEAR ordeal to get it running stable(not to mention they busted my case after I sent it back and wanted to charge me another $200 to fix that while they replaced all the bad parts)...I was getting BSODs after 2 hours of taking it out of the box several times a day. I pray that this one is with no hiccups so that I may upgrade sooner than 5 or 6 more years and even spend more money if I feel comfortable with the company/customer service!

    You have the right idea there but I'm gonna go one better! Just gonna get a single 570 superclocked for now and save even more money and just get another one once the new line comes out and prices drop. That way i will have a 570 in sli and be better than the 560 sli. If i get the 560 sli now I'm stuck. If i get a single 580 I can at least add one more when time to upgrade or in this case I will settle for 570's due to budget. Thank you

    Hello moondoggy,
     
     
    This configuration is superb; very well done.
     
    If you're on a budget, why not a GTX 560Ti overclocked, or GTX 560 Ti in SLI? Even when having two of this, and increasing the power supply to 850w, the price will come out the same AND provide more performance, thus allowing the system to last longer. :-)

    I'm an avid gamer but not hardcore as in "omg i gotta overclock..."
    I'm also married with children and the only income which = broke.
    Does this setup work well together and/or did I miss an essential component?
    Keep in mind very tight budget but I want something that will last a few years.

    • Also is there ever a free shipping offer or a discount code? I REALLY need an kick in the butt to hit that process button in my cart lol. Been playing with configurations on numerous sites for 3 days now and need to decide what to get and who to get it from.
    Thank you for your time and help!
