With that graphics card you will have to leave AA off and use either 2x or 3x IR depending on the game. But overall yes. Since it's a prebuilt system it can't be overclocked which is necessary to achieve fullspeed in more demanding games. I would highly recommend that you build your own system instead if you haven't already bought this.
Especially over buying from Alienware, as the price to performance ratio is awful.
