Recently (11/13) my desktop (XPS 730) ran into some trouble with my dog and water (don't ask). Needless to say it doesn't work right anymore, so Dell agreed to replace it under complete care.
New specs:
Overclocked Intel Core i7 975 Extreme (3.6GHz, 8MB Cache)
Cosmic Black, Alienware Aurora Chassis, 875W PSU
Single 1.8GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
Now the quote, "Dont look a gift horse in the mouth", comes to mind cause of the nice upgrade in CPU. However the PSU (1000w on the XPS) and the GPU (GTX280 on the XPS) are "lacking" from the last machine. To be perfectly honestly when I saw these specs I jumped out my chair to do a dance (mainly cause of the CPU). However after looking at my GPU (not really PSU that much) I notice besides the VRAM upgrade (maybe cores), its not as powerful as my GTX 280.
What does everyone think I should do? Should I bug Dell, or should I just wait till next year and get a better DX11 card?
