ohdear. you started that discussion with the wrong guy.

ok lets start off, we take a reasonable budget in terms of money.
i'd say something around 1000$ main purpose is gaming.

that's what i find on alienware's website close to that prize:



thats 1180$

now we take the single parts in that PC.
and buy them individually ( i havent looked up the specific parts exactly i went with semi cheaply.)

also needs a storage. so give it another 50-100$ tops.
case/power supply can be alternated too. so maybae add another 50$



BUT HEY THERES MORE

if we now start building our very own PC. not directed by the Alienware shit we come up with this:



which sums up to 1011€ which converted is 1250$ so 70$ more than the alienware PC.
above mentioned one is specified to be extremley quiet and thus is saved a little in power. you could switch out the power supply and case and get a better GPU.
which nets you with more power for roughly the same price.

above build is btw my personal one which im going to buy once i have the money for it.


questions?
