A. As configured, it's a OK gaming computer.
It's got a great processor and nice expensive options (liquid cooling- why??) but for a gaming rig the single most important component is the GRAPHICS CARD!! And this system has a $100 GeForce 9800GT...
The 9800GT is a nice card, appropriate for a $700 system, but not a high-end Core i7 system. For a computer like this, you should have something at least twice as powerful, like a Radeon 5770 or GTX 260.
I don't know how much this company charges for their graphics card upgrade options but most are overpriced compared to buying the minimum graphics option and buying your own card online from NewEgg or Tiger Direct. Compare their upgrade prices against what it would cost to buy the card online.
And a finally- this configuration is wasting money bigtime on that processor. Having the 2.93Ghz Core i7-870 instead of a 2.8Ghz Core i7-860 isn't worth paying $300 more. That won't even get you a 10% speed increase. But put that $300 into a better graphics card like a Radeon 5850 instead.... SHAZAM!!!!
That computer configured with an i7-860 and Radeon 5850 completely blows away the original i7-870 and 9800GT configuration, over 2X faster in high-end games! Heck with the money you'd save you could even afford a Radeon 5870:

For a rig like this, absolutely positively buy a top-notch power supply. I recommend a Seasonic or Corsair 650W. Don't save $40 on the psu only to have it blow out and fry your other expensive parts- a great psu is the best investment you can make in your system.

Game developers computer gear...?
Q. ok i was wondering what do the game developers like EA or Bioware use to graphics test the game at later stages of a game development? because i would like to buy that and then i will have no problems. i was thinking that this will be many steps above an expensive alienware pc for playing games. please also share with me your experience on which will be best with a budget of around 5 grand...
A. game testers will be generally using computers of insanely high system specs, because fixing any problem on spot require the game developing softwares that themselves require high specs.
all you need is to go further beyond a workstation pc. the configurations require high speed intel quad core processor, a mother board allowing high level of customization [more number of slots], a 700w+ power unit, 4gb+ ram [usually installed as a pair of identical 2gb+modules] , 750gb+ hard disk [samsung or hitachi, seagate is more popular], a super cooling cabinet and cooling accessories, a [pair of identical] 768mb+ graphics card [geforce is the favorite among users], an lcd monitor for optimum view [bigger size is the needed one, but can tire your eyes faster, if working in proximity], gamer's keyboard- mouse set, a good sound system with multi-channel speakers and woofer [even a good pair of headphones will do] and a strong backup, with a 1000 V A ups.
