i would research, (pic a comp set up that someone has here and likes) you can get an equivelent if not better pc for much less, alienware is similar to bringing a car to a tune shop to put on an intake and exhaust... a waste of money. you will enjoy your pc much more if u build it yourself OR help someone else build it, plus you know EXACTLY whats in it... i felt the same way buying my pc, i got it from exoticpc.com it was overpriced and the service was awful. BUILD YOURSELF, its not too difficult if u search it on TF, buena suerte!
