im looking in to buying a new computer and just want to now what one needs for it to run games of today well. and yes i know Alienwear makes a good one but im looking for specifics.
Make sure you have no bottle-necks in the system. A superfast CPU won't do any good with a crappy grafics card etc. A nice CPU, 1 GB RAM and a good GFX card. Just don't forget the other stuff. Good mobo etc.

Oh, wow. You have no idea what you're doing if you're even thinking about Alienware. I could build a comparable system for half of the prices they charge for their ridiculous crap.
You want at least a 2.4GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, and a GeForce 6600GT or better. Buying less than a 6600GT at this point is a waste of money. I'd also be looking for PCI-X in the motherboard (and if you get the PCI-X motherboard, get the PCI-X version of the 6600GT. And, if you can afford it, 10,000RPM hard drives are nice. (Much faster than 7,200RPM.)

A half decent graphics card is a big thing but a lot of ram will make your computer really shine, whether it be for gaming or anything else.
