This is so overkill, you will run them at max settings A ok.

perfect thank you :smiley: I just got a bonus from the boss of 5k so I am buying a new computer and know NOTHING about computers. Other then on off and alt ctrl delete when in poop. Oh this comp is 2.5k not the entire 5k btw

u may want another SSD for ur games as 128GB will fill up very fast but other than that the setup is pretty dope

alienware will cost a lot more than if u build urself tho but u get guarantee etc

Yeah building one isnt that hard with a bit of research and it is cheaper. Plus once you know what your doing you can upgrade parts like gpu/ram/SSD/HDD easily. Ive built 2 for myself and 4 other for friends and family.

I had zero experience, my store bought PC died so i decided to try and i build one. Cost was 1100ish, which i saw very similar specs in a pc store for $2500. Mind you this was before the days of bit mining and driving the price of gpus waaay up.

Something to consider before you drop $2500 on a PC you may be able to build for less.

for 2500 why not just build one with a 2080 in it?

Well my dear friends I am a personal trainer. I have 13 years of cells bone structure and muscles in my head. I am just giving money to Dell with my coupon to give me a computer lol.

There is a discount code I got from the boss and a bonus for getting a 5 day a wèek client. So there is 0 chances in hell I could build one even I’d I had all the parts in front of me due to 0 drive go do it lol.

Anything from Alienware is a meme.

i remember alienware when it was actually its own company :slight_smile:
it had the best computers. i mean if you didnt want to make your own.

too bad dell bought them up. still performance computers… but tbh i would rather have an HP than a Dell if I was forced to buy anything. its just how i am. i dont like Dell very much. maybe its from taking so many of them apart.

Your machine should have ZERO problems running any modern game on the market at either full or near full settings.

Personally, I’d rather build my own. Alienware PC’s are nice, but I can build a comparable PC for a fraction of what Dell would charge me.
