Opinions on this Alienware? (mainly for gaming)
First off, I'm not exactly sure if this is the right place to post this in, but I posted it here because I need some opinions on a computer I may get that is manly for gaming. The link defaults back to the default, non-customized version of the computer, so I have to copy and paste the specs from the site. My apologies if this is hard to read.

I don't know much about how good each part of this is, but I do know enough to realize it is not a piece of junk. The total (without shipping and those costs) is at $1,181.99. So what I'm asking is, can this run most modern games without much issue? There is not too much I can change about this, as Dell has a somewhat limited variety of parts for this computer.
