Agreed with bigtonyman, you can purchase the memory later on or an SSD, unfortunately the video card is soldered into the motherboard so you won't be able to upgrade it unless you change the whole motherboard.

Thanks very, much so I'll spring for the vcard and the i7 cpu and buy the rest later

is this a good computer with setup?
Processor: Intel Core 2nd Generation i7-2670QM Processor (6MB Cache, up to 3.1GHz w/ Turbo Boost 2.0)
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium
Alienware M14x
500GB SATA II Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
6 GB DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz
8X DVD +/- RW Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M 1.5 GB graphics with Optimus -
What's the price they're giving you?
Any way you can spring up for a GT 650? -
$1000 buck
-
What screen does it come with?
-
14.0 inch High Definition WLED
-
with it being a 2bd gen i7 could i put a 3rd gen 17 and work?
-
More than likely no.
Only the new chipset (QM77 iirc) supports both SB/IB. -
I would advise maybe saving up a little and getting the M14X new with the IB processors and GT 650m. You may send something like $100-$200 more I think.

When I get home im going to order a new one, with this setup would I be able to play Crisys close to max?

I doubt you could get Crysis to max, but you should be able to get very near it.
I'd say you got a good looking system right there. Go for it. -
Awesome, I'll pull the trigger when i get home.

thanks all for your help.
First alienware.
