Best GPU's that are compatible with Aurora R1?
I have been offered to buy an Aurora but would only buy it if I can get a good gpu for it. I would like to know what are the best GPU's available for it? If it helps it has an I7-920.

Thank you for the quick reply and that's very helpful but I think you may have read it wrong, I was asking about GPU's not CPU's. Please can you tell me the best GPU's available for the Alienware Aurora R1?

I am curious, is the only limitation the power supply?
My son now has the same machine (Aurora R1 w/I7 920) and wants to save for a GTX970, he's running a GTX570 right now.

Like the other guy said, would it support a GTX960 or 970? I'm guessing that they aren't officially supported by Dell but do you know of many people that have done it and its working fine?

The R1 sold with two wattage power supplies =
J556T 875w Hipro, UPC
U595G 875w Hipro, 85% EPA, UPC
W299G 875w Delta, 85% EPA, UPC
X008G 525w Hipro, 85% EPA, UPC
0G05V 525w Hipro, 85% EPA, UPC
U597G 525w Delta, 85% EPA, UPC
If you have the 875w, you can use many of the newer video cards. If you have the 525w, you will need to go to the video card manufacturer website and look up the power supply requirements.
