Smooth on what resolution and settings? low, med, high?
Also, it'd be better if you built your own. Cheaper and better (In performance and quality) parts usually. |

it will.
every part will have a warranty.
if the CPU breaks down, you'll just ship the CPU back to the factory (or wherever it needs to go), and you'll get a new one. _________________

Like Diamond said. Before you buy the parts check the warranty on them. Most of the warranty on NewEgg is over a year long, because it comes directly from the manufacturers. Also, you can pay an extra 30 dollars (USD) and get an extended warranty straight from NewEgg. Here is the site.
http://www.newegg.com/
Also, building a computer is not hard at all. Just tell your parents you will save over half of money it would usually cost you to get a computer. I will have a graph you can show to your parents later tonight. To show them the price difference.
(I'll customize your computer later) _________________

PhysX has gone the way of the dodo before it took flight.
The Killa nic is a waste of money and does not improve your "ping"
Alienware does not make power supplies, go with something in the tier 1 category like PC&C, Antec, Cooler Master, Seasonic, Enermax and so on
1TB drive is not necessary these days go with a 640GB and make that 2 one for OS and the other for storage.
Although Toshiba surrender to the HD format war, Blu-Ray isn't that common yet and you will also need certified hardware support in order to watch "true" blu ray content.
Go with an Intel Quad core |

Which is funny because Dodo birds couldn't fly.
Just get a Q6600
4gb of ram
4850
520w corsair PSU.
PQ5 (P45) board.
640gb western digital
and whatever the hell else you want. It will be easy to keep it around $1000 if you build it yourself. |

He has 4 RAM slots? Why not fill them with 2GB RAM each? It costs around $50 and 8 gigs of RAM is killer.
He can overclock the Phenom much more easily than he can OC the Q6600. The 9950 is the black edition, which means it is unlocked.
If storage isn't much of an issue, get a 80GB 10k RPM Raptor HDD and an external 1TB hard-drive.
The total price will be less than $800, which is way better than any OEM can offer. |

Because over $1,000 in video cards alone is cheap, and we all know how well optimized ATi cards are for Crysis. |
