Just ordered an alienware(Yeah yeah i know)I was reviewing my order and noticed Alienware 330 Watt Power Supply.The system comes with a 4th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 processor (8MB Cache, up to 4.0GHz) and an optional NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 with 2GB GDDR5 that I of course selected.I am now extremely worried that this 330 watt power supply that was not optional will not be able to handle the 960.My question is,Will they test the machine before shipping it and should i be worried lol.

If they sell you a system with a 120W gfx card, they should have a large enough PSU installed. Dell/Alienware is pretty good about that. Nvidia recommends a 400W PSU as the minimum for the GTX 960, but that isn't carved in stone. It is more a factor of what the +12v rail is rated for in watts and amps. Can you contact them for verification?
