I recommend the 4th build found here, it's about as good as you can get for the money. If you don't need a monitor you could switch the case for an antec 900 or something if you wanted.

The ALX X-58 Advantage
The Alienware ALX X-58 delivers exactly what you would expect from the industry's most sophisticated high-performance desktop computer. Features such as an Intel® Core™ i7 Extreme CPU, both ATI® CrossFire™ and NVIDIA® SLI™ technology as well as low latency DDR3 memory come standard on every ALX to generate the highest benchmarks and the fastest, most intense graphics. The chrome accented case communicates that you appreciate a touch of luxury in your life. By choosing an Alienware ALX X-58 desktop computer, you join an elite club of the most discerning computer enthusiasts in the world.

| Quote: | Hard Drives and Memory
The Alienware ALX X-58 desktop offers up to 4TB of hard drive capacity, enough to store 1,000 full-length movies or 1 million songs. Users can even choose dual 256GB solid state drives for the most stable, secure storage option available. By equipping each and every ALX with standard DDR3 1600MHz memory, Alienware ensures that data retrieval is seamless and lag-free. Up to 12GB of low latency memory give the ALX unprecedented multitasking capabilities. |

Sound Cards and Optical Drives
Life just sounds better in 7.1 surround sound. Audio shapes an experience almost as much as graphics, and the crisp highs and thundering lows of the SoundBlaster® X-Fi™ XtremeGamer sound card pull you into PC games, movies and music with rich, concert-level sound. Of course, you still need the killer graphics, and nothing delivers mind blowing visuals like Blu-ray. Witness true 1080p HD and enjoy a movie viewing experience unachievable by conventional DVDs.

A new monitor, it's a completely new build, so I'll need a mouse and all that stuff. Thanks too you've always been a big help.

First of all:
Max at ONE ssd drive = 256 GB (cuz it havn't been made any bigger)
12 gb ram = very unnessesry for every normal user.
Also that speed is also unessery all over 1024mhz is.
I will fix an nice build for you tomorrow, cuz im sick and need to sleep (again).
