I have finally installed my new memory and graphics card. So far everything seems to be running much better. I also changed my typical blue lights to green to show my EVGA\Nvidia pride. I switched out the crusty old 16 gig 1333 Mhz kit to a Corsair Vengeance LP 16 gig 1600 Mhz kit and replaced the Radeon 6950 2G with a EVGA GTX 770 SC Dual 4G.

    Your next upgrade should be a can of compressed air. Looks like you have been using your radiator as a hepa filter.

    Actually surprisingly enough the computer is not as dusty as I though it would be on the inside. Except for the coating on the graphics card and the radiator. I do plan to try a push-pull setup with the stock liquid cooler though. If I can.

    Which sucks since the ACX version of the 700 Series look so nice. So far I am in love with the ACX cooler. I got the fan maxed at 100% and yet it's not so annoyingly loud I can hear it over a closed bedroom door. Of course I had to bring the master volume down in SWTOR cause the game was so loud. Anytime I ran my old card at just 90% fan speed when gaming I had to turn up the volume pretty high on everything else, games included. This despite using headphones for gaming. This Alienware sure isn't as stock as it used to be now. I might be making a few more changes soon in terms of a better wifi card and that possible push-pull setup on the liquid cooler.
