That looks like an XPS 9100 configuration... I almost got one of those instead but they didn't offer the 2600. The tradeoff is that the 9100 has way more card slots... the 8300 only has 3 PCIe total. Not only that... but it was like $500 more than the 8300.
I am currently on an XPS 420 with a Q6600 and 8GB Ram that has run like a champ for almost 4 years... but recently, it started having problems with the SATA controller and randomly blue screens on me. It has been a good machine and more than paid for itself... but I suspect that the 2 HDDs that I had fail over the last 4 years were caused by that bad SATA controller.
