    Why are you getting rid of the 5793? Because of the M570TU? Or do you just want more power from XPS?

    Ya they were pretty good. But I haven't dealt with them that much as of yet. Mostly just a couple questions and then ordering. I chose them based on the positive feedback for them on the forums.

    I don't want to wait until the end of July, early August. I need the system relatively soon. Also I think it makes sense avoiding buying the first version of a new product and instead going for the latest revision of an older product.. in terms of stability. Also the 8800M GTX should be plenty power for me. The only area I see it coming up short in is for Crysis and maybe SupComm. Otherwise it should be able to handle whatever I throw at it.
