Hi I have been given an xps 710 h2c watercooling Pc which is 4 months old, with a qx6700 processor on board, beforehand I started to coleect component's to build a pc ie, lian li v2100, memory, powersupply etc.
Would you stick and upgrade the dell xps or build a custom Pc, and advice/suggestions would be appreciated.

What are the other specs? A Q6700 is a decent CPU anyway. Building now, so close to the G38 releases might not be advisable, regardless of your current system specs anyway.

OTHER SPEC IS SLI, DUAL 8800GTX, 750 SEAGATE BARRUCUDA, RAPTOR 150GB,PHYSIX CARD,2GB,WATERCOOLING,

Riiiiight

As much as custom builds are the daddy when it comes to gaming, that is an excellent spec right there

And remember; branded builds have a higher resale value then self-builds. Stick with the Dell until you want something faster, then sell it on to fund a new build, but that Dell should do you proud for at least a year, and be more than capable for maybe 2-3!

Oh, and also; Dell warranties are pretty good, so you have a safety-net for your entire system should your watercooling system spring a leak
