Alienware Area-51 m7700

Hey, i'm new here, so allow me to introduce myself!

My name's Chris, i'm a PFC in the USMC and i'm currently stationed on Pensacola NAS in Florida awaiting schooling to become a UAV Operator. Before i joined up, i was heavily addicted to 3D Animation, creating many projects for my school using Maxon's Cinema 4D and many of Adobe's horde of software, hehe. But unfortunately, in Spring 2005, my old Sony VAIO exploded...

I have been without a computer ever since, currently using my roommate's POS 4-year old Hewlett Packard.

On December 29th, I purchased an m7700 "Desktop Replacement".

Scheduled to Arrive on January 12th, I can't wait to get this monster of a machine... And i can't wait to get back into Pacific Fighters, World of Warcraft, and the world of C4D.

What to do, what to do...

Hey everyone. 1st time here. I am really hoping that someone can help me out a bit. I'm looking at a big purchase and can't affrord to make a mistake. I am looking at a blown out M12, 7700a. The big question/concern I have is the graphics (card.) I can't seem to get a good answer out of they guys at Alienware. Anyhow, is there a huge diff between the NVIDIA 5600 and the new NVIDIA 7600 both with 256mgs? I need a computer for some (photo realistic) 3D rendering and some simple video editing. Any advice anyone? I forgot something else. Is this thing screaming loud cause it has 7 fans!
