Yeah that will play all games on high settings, just that its way overpriced.

Hmm, I would suggest practicing on a parents computer putting them together and taking them apart lmfao, then buy the parts off of newegg.com,. yes that computer rules, but is WAAAAYYYY to expensive for my tastes.

Ah well if you don't know how to build PC's, and you got lots of money to burn then Alienware is the way to go.

But maybe you should look into building? Cause it's not too hard, and it would be a good experience.

But to answer your question, yes that PC will run games super fast.

I find building my own computer to be extremely nice and satisfying experience, I know exactly what is in my computer andif anything goes wrong I am not scared to open it up and replace something, In fact I am about to add another fan and HDD to it later this month, however, when I bought prebuilts from Hp or Dell or Alienware beforehand I never ONCE touched or opened it because I had no idea what they had done to it in the factory.

It is just a nice feeling knowing what you enjoy you actually put together yourself, and that noone fugged up in the factory.
