It should run it as well as is possible, really. Good strong single-core performance in the i5 which is all you really need, plus a modern graphics card. Any slowdown you get will be due to engine limitations because Phoenix Rising pushes EaW past its limits.

It will run it very well

 

However, why Alienware? If you spend the money spent on that brand in parts instead, you'd be able to get an even stronger computer!

Also, what brand of 660? 

 

For graphics cards of the 660 series, I'd go with:

EVGA really got it right for that card, it's in a similar price bracket but with so much more power. I've put together 2 computers with it now and it really shines out in power for value. If you skip Alienware however, you should be able to jump straight into the 680 bracket though.

ok cool and im getting the alein ware just because there generally good computers modular so upgrading is easy and theres a bunch of good financing offers for them right now

[SpardaSon21]

No.  Don't do it.  Do research and buy the parts yourself off a place like NewEgg.com and then assemble it yourself.  You'll save a lot of money over buying an Alienware.
