The system builders that let you customise a build online are best - ultimately you have to balance performance versus cost and will have to make compromises unless money is no object.

The 4 generation i3 CPU is good but for gaming an i5 or better is required for the latest games. AMD makes some good gaming CPU's also. Also try to get at the least a 600w PSU make your puter a little future proof for any upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

But then again, I also got a whole bunch of discounts as well...lol. Only downside is that since the X51 is in such a compact case, expansion is almost non-existent..but I'm completely happy with it regardless. Does everything I need it to do and still has enough power inside of it to last me a few years. What I ended up getting... Alienware X51 Windows 7 Home Premium, 64Bit, English 16GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600Mhz NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 670 with 2.0GB GDDR5 2TB SATA 6Gb/s (7,200RPM) 64MB Cache Slot-Loading Dual Layer DVD Burner (DVD±RW, CD-RW) 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-4770 processor (8M Cache, up to 3.9 GHz) Alienware 330 Watt Power Supply Edited December 27, 2013 by Phoenix911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used military discount, EPP discount, as well as Dell Advantage discount. Ended up also getting a $64 Dell eGift Card for the purchase as well after the fact from the Dell Advantage Program.

Firdt need to know ur budget. Second, if u want to be upgradable, self build ( I can help with that. I've been a field engineer for over 35 years) . I have also built MANY a 'puter. What Dell doesn't tell you is the important stuff....power supply, cooling solutions, etc. PM me if I can help explain everything to you. Yuop might pay alittle more by building yourself but in the long run, it'll be easier to upgrade in the future just by getting better greaphics card, hard drive , etc. Just ask...I'll help. djMot and baldie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a dell and had a mobo failure, they wanted 260.00 for one to fit the Dell, I paid about 100.00 for a much better mobo so decided to build one myself. And I am not a rocket scientist. And it also kind of feels good when you get done putting everything together and push the button and everything works!!!! For the money your going to pay you should be able to build a hell of a computer. Where they (Dell) get you is they make their architecture to where only their pieces will fit. The one I had was a mirror image to the aftermarket pieces so it would not fit. Take the plunge and build it yourself. Or buy one from someone like Tigerdirect or New Egg. But just dont buy a brand name, buy one that they put together, Edited December 28, 2013 by THOR435 HellKid and djMot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they have a good youtube video on how to build a pc, this may be a good place to gain info for whatever you decide Edited December 28, 2013 by wazzup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laptops are for casual business convinience, not for gaming. If you pick a laptop the thing you can upgrade later may be the hard drive and nothing else. You have limited option when it comes to screen estate and gpu upgrade. Try to build one for yourself a gaming desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
