I've been browsing your forums for a couple months now trying to learn a little because I've been planning on getting a new computer for college. My friend just bought a computer from alienware which is really good. Area-51 Ultimate Gaming Desktop PC With Dual Graphics - Alienware It is pretty expensive, but it is really good and would probly last a while. How much better off would I be by building one? I know I would be saving some money and would learn a lot, but I don't really wanna risk having a dead PC. I'm pretty sure I could handle the build, but I want to make sure the advantages outweigh the risks. Thanks in advance.
