''Alot of stuff are optional thought'' but with them u get what u pay for. you call them and u talk to a person name mike or others and they can make a low cost but good machine overclocked for you . The way they build it is somewhat state of the art though not sure how they overclock there pcu's rams gpu's heard it was state of art also but anyone can overclock at home also. mostly u dont have to buy the uneeded things but mostly ur just paying for the case-painted colours, the quiet pc, there cooling system and the craftmanship or quality of work they put into assembling a pc.

I'm not so sure anyone, not the hardcore computer enthusiast, and not even professionally competitive hardware-crazed gamer, could justify an average 12% performance gain for roughly $300 more than the cost of the GeForce 8800 GTX. Sure, the GeForce 8800 Ultra is a great product, but let's be real about this: pay 55% more for a 12% gain. Not just no, but hell no. Here's what I would do to get the same performance and save a lot of cash:

First, you could easily purchase any GeForce 8800 GTX from NewEgg for $530-$600, plus have dozens of manufacturers to choose from. Next, simply use the Benchmark Reviews Guide: How To Overclock the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Series and raise the GPU from the stock 575MHz to 612MHz and memory from 1800MHz to 2160MHz. After all, the GTS in the project for that article managed a GPU overclock from 500MHz to 600MHz, and the memory clock went from 1600MHz to 2060MHz. Granted the GTS wasn't able to become a GTX because of the difference in architecture, but a 8800 GTX is exactly the same as the 8800 Ultra in regards to architecture. So If an 8800 GTS can reach GTX numbers, than it seems very likely that the 8800 GTX could easily become an Ultra.

-------------------------------------------8800Ultra-8800GTX-8800GTS
Stream Processors --------------------128--------128------- 96
Core Clock (MHz)---------------------- 612------- 575------- 500
Shader Clock (MHz)-------------------1500-------1350------ 1200
Memory Clock (MHz)------------------ 1080------ 900------- 800
Memory Amount ----------------------768MB----- 768MB-- 640MB or 320MB
Memory Interface--------------------- 384-bit---- 384-bit -- 320-bit
Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec) ----------103.7---- 86.4------ 64
Texture Fill Rate (billion/sec) ---------39.2-------36.8 ------ 24

According to Glen Robson, general manager of Dell gaming products "Dell is deeply committed to designing PCs that cater to gamers' needs and desires and offering the latest and greatest GPUs is a key technology differentiator. NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra GPUs deliver stunning performance gains today and support the key features that will facilitate an awesome visual experience on DirectX 10 titles." This will mean that you will soon hear the praises of Dell's XPS series posting unbelievable benchmark scores with SLi configured 8800 Ultra's. But as of this afternoon, neither the Dell Premier Partner site nor the Solution Provider sites gave any hint that the Dell XPS 710 series was being updated .

So can I recommend the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra? In a word, No. Unless you are blessed with a five-digit monthly income, or can win one for free, it seems to be an absolute waste or money. At the very least, NVIDIA could have gotten away with offering their new GeForce 8800 Ultra with this inflated price tag if they had added some new technology. A good start would have been DDR4 and possibly a newly released (or more likely binned) GPU. But what we got instead was the same old product with a new name and a small twist on the dial. No thanks.
