If you want to be one of the first kids with a Haswell machine on your block then you can pick up the Dell XPS 8700 at a decent price. Not only do you get a quad core i7-4770 the system also comes with an HD7570 for light gaming duties. This is a Win8 machine so you might want to consider personalizing the system with one of the multi-touch screens for the best possible user experience.

Windows 8 – I prefer WIN7,
Windows 8 – I prefer WIN7, but it’s an extra $30 for the Home Premium.
Comes with 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600Mhz (2 Dimms) of RAM. It appears to support 4 Dimms, so I would suggest upgrading at home instead of their $100 for 12GB (max 32Gb [8Gb x4]).
GPU is AMD Radeon HD 7570 1GB.
For $50, you can get the Nvidia GeForce GTX 645 1GB. (No option for null)
Other components:
1Tb HDD, 16X DVD+/-RW (Cyberlink), Wifi DELL (probably onboard), keyboard, mouse, 6 USB 3.0, 4 USB 2.0, HDMI, DPort, Card Reader, 460W Power Supply.
For $700 with Free Shipping, I’d prefer $600 🙂
Still a good deal!
**But don’t expect huge upgrade
