I wouldn't take it if you offered to give it to me.

Must be an Alienware thing, I am not fond of Alienware. When Alienware was Alienware and not Dell acquired, their PCs rocked. Not so much anymore.
I have a custom built machine and I don't think I spent anywhere near what an Alienware cost. I would say keep the Alienware as a backup gaming machine and build one. Computers these days depreciate faster than cars.
Your 1993 Dodge Stealth is one of 6351 that received VIN numbers. Based on the order of the serial numbers, your car was the 5212nd out of the 6351 that were made that year.
Your car was built in the 3rd week of February 1993. Of the 47380 vehicles made at the Nayoga plant, your car was the 40537th vehicle to be created that year.
There are 281 other cars that were made with both the same interior and exterior color. There are 779 cars with the same exterior color and 2316 cars with the same interior color.
Note: The production order is assigned based on the order of the serial number.
Didn't you just buy this thing?

My advice - just hold onto it. Buy any parts you want to upgrade from newegg or amazon and be happy. What is the advantage of selling EVERYTHING and starting over? You already have a motherboard, dual video cards, power supply and ram. If you aren't happy with any one of those items just upgrade the individual item.

Unless you're hard up for cash,not really worth it. The 3960X is still a great CPU, and the PCI-E slots mean easy upgrades down the road if necessary. Not familiar with the 1650 though beyond a basic card that was from like..06, which seems unlikely. So maybe I'm missing something, or it's a workstation card. At any rate, you'd get maybe 1-1.5k for it honestly. Computers depreciate fast with new generations.
Mods: 2g 3k body conversion, 2g Brake upgrade, Rota P45R rims
Projects: Interior sound deadening, 14Bs, forged bottom end, custom radiator and sound mounts
Didn't you finance this? If so I hope it is paid off.
My bad, they are the HD 6950's

Yeah, we paid it off as fast as we could. Their interest rate is insane.
Was just looking at some newer custom towers and liked what I saw for the price.

Sell the 6850s, get a pair of HD7950s. Can be had for around 200 each, and overclock to outperform an HD7970. Just one OCed HD7950 lets me play every game I own on Max 1080p settings (and some across multiple screens)
You think if I went to a single hd 7950 I could run max settings at 2560x1600 smoothly?
