Hey everyone I won a Dell gift card at work so I will be getting a new computer from there. Please don't jump down my throat and tell me to build my own. Yes I know it's generally better and cheaper, but again I have a Dell gift card (large amount) that I will be using on a computer. I haven't done much PC gaming lately so please help me decide what's best :)

First, I have a 34" wide screen monitor that I will be gaming on in 1440p. There are a few systems from Dell I am considering. First, an XPS 8700 and putting a GTX 980 in it. My other options would be to get an X51 and putting a GTX 980 in it, or going with an Alienware Area-51 with the GTX 980 model.

How well would the XPS 8700 stack up against an X51 with a 980 or an Area-51 with a 980?

Thanks!
