Alienware Aurora 5000 gaming PC

Too short?

Performance-wise there's definitely nothing wrong with the Aurora 5500, but you would get more out of the graphics card with a faster processor. With an overall SYSMark 2004 score of 181 there won't be any issues running day to day software. But I wouldn't imagine anyone buying this machine unless they're going to play games on it, so what really matters here is the game benchmarks.
