Only a GTX555.

Plus it's Alienware which means overpriced to the max. For that price, I have a 3.0GHz Quad Core, 8 GB DDR3, 1TB HDD, and GTX 560 Ti.

I'd recommend building your own PC and ordering parts from NewEgg.

I lack the ability to build my own PC. :(

It's pretty easy. Just watch a video on youtube that goes through a tutorial as you build a PC. It becomes pretty straight forward!

go to cyberPC. they have nice and cheap PC/laptops for around 1.1k and under that run very smooth. also, dont go alienware if you have a 900 $ budget generally their PC's are over priced and arnt quite worth it past aesthetics. you can get more for your money by using cyberpc.

This should go in Off Topic. To answer the request, I don't know any good prebuilt PC sources. Alienware is just a Dell in a ricer case though so, as Godshelp put it, overpriced to the max.

Also, don't listen to Brevillance. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

how do i not know anything??? check Cyber PC they have good PC/laptops for reletively cheap and as ive heard they run very well. Alienware are good but not for the money. for the same price of 1k alienware i can get a much better PC elsewhere. they are good, but most of the cash is used to pay for the case and lights, the internals are just over priced

Getting a shop built pc should be ok if you buy the right parts. If you are in the states you should be able to get a custom rig with an i5 2500K chip, z68 mobo, small ssd (120gb-plus), and medium hdd, 8gb ram, with a decent gpu (at least a HD6850, get 2 or a better one if possible), and a case with proper ventilation and room to upgrade for around $1000 (no monitor). You should get a 800W-plus psu so you can upgrade to 2 gpus in the future.

That dell looks neat, but I'd worry about overheating in such a small case.
