One think to remember about dell and other named brands. You have 30 days to make sure your rig is running perfectly. If dell messed up there rig they sold you because a component doesn't work just right there not responsible for it after 30 day unless its a manufacture defect.
I learn that one with an X-fi PCI Extreme Music card added to and nForce 790i motherboard package. It never work properly I had the clicking sound issues like reported in many forums. But the killer was the BSOD from a month and a half after playing certain games with X-Fi attached to the nforce mobo board. Onced removed all is good and perfect.
If you don't believe me Dell customer service told me this.
I had a similar issue for my wifes sony viao with a burnt DVD burner that crapped out after 3months. But thats a different story.
