I was looking into buying a desktop. I found this one. http://www.costco.ca/Dell%E2%84%A2-XPS%E2%84%A2-8500-Bilingual-Desktop-Intel-Core-i7-3770.product.100034331.html

I was wondering what kind of games it'd be able to play and on which settings?

I realize there are probably better options than that but... :3

Thanks in advance

Honestly not many that is a weak video card

It'll play any modern game on low. But it is just minimum for higher end games like crysis 3 so probably won't be playing future games without a gpu upgrade. It is quite overpriced too.

Thanks. That's what I figured.

I was wondering if the Alienware Aurora is worth like $1500. (I would build one, but I honestly don't feel comfortable building my own)

Everything about that Dell is nice except the video card. The monitor is nice, hard drive, CPU, tons of RAM. Part of the high price is the inclusion of Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013, and that 1920x1080 23" Dell monitor sells for $229 on Newegg. But you could build a better system for less.

The Alienware Aurora isn't bad i am not sure it's worth 1500 though

You could either buy one from a boutique like cyberpower or ibuypower. Or you can even just order the parts and have a local computer store put it together which usually is cheap like $40 and will save a lot compared to the price premium that boutiques charge. You can find prebuilts of cyberpower and ibuypower on newegg and other places but usually have a low quality psu which I cannot recommend getting. But there are also other prebuilts available with a decent price.

The problem with most prebuilt systems, they lack decent graphics cards. And that Aurora, it's a micro ATX, for $1500? That's throwing money away, a lot of money away.
