That was my old system a 920 serve me great but it was time for a upgrade so i sold it off and brought my current rig welll worth.

Alienware M17x R4 with the ivybridge processor, cost a pretty penny =P

Trust me you do not need much to play a game very effective. I would suggest not just going to Best Buy or Fry's and or microcenter and "buying a complete box" i would suggest building your own it is very easy. Here is a list of the most simple things you would need to have a pretty decent gaming "rig" so to speak that wont eat your lunch.

1. A Decent tower that has say 8 drive slots (bays)
2. A 850 Watt Power Supply
3. A I5 to I7 motherboard
4. A Processor at least 2.5 ghz quad core.
5. 8 Gigs of Memory is all you really need for any game.
6. A Video Card with at least 2 to 4 gigs of memory on it. (you could use dual crossfire but most games cannot handle it)
7. Just get 2 hard drives that are 500 gigs each that are SATA 1 for your main drive 1 for file storage etc.

8. As for a Monitor i would suggest getting a TV instead that is flat screen (do not get a plasma) i had purchased a 24" flatscreen Poloroid from Target that has DVI and HDMI hookups so its the same. at half the cost as well. I was using dual monitors a while back but i wanted to get a display that combined both my flat screen monitors so opted for a flatscreen tv instead.

Now if you shop correctly you should get everything above for about $800 to $1000 total give or take.

But either way have you noticed any decent changes while playing games since game engines cannot really handle high end boxes. I have played on a very high end computer before and my system and they both seem the same in regards to games. Possibly Crysis and APB Reloaded or Arma3 would be a exception.
