You chould probably save a tiny bit of money and get overall better components by building it yourself by pricematching to memory express but there is nothing wrong with going for a dell...

I personally would not buy an Aurora however, you pay a premium for the Alienware branding and it doesn't actually offer you any benefits.

If you must go for a Dell, I'd go with a standard one and put a 5870 in there. What is your budget?

I just put together a Studio XPS on dell.ca with all the same options as one I put together on the Aurora and you actually get a bit more and it's $300 cheaper.
