The Dell XPS 630 ($1,269 direct) represents Dell's entry into the sub-$1,500 gaming PC space. Not everyone needs a $5,000+ gaming box, especially if you just want to play the games and don't care much about frame rates. You won't be raving about the Dell's blazing performance at 1,920-by-1,200 resolution, but you will be able to say, "I can play Crysis." The unit can also be fitted later with either ATI CrossFire or nVidia SLI dual-card systems, so this is a gaming box that you'll be able to upgrade it your heart's desire. It's a smidge more expensive than its direct competition, but that extra $170 is totally worth it.
