Most gaming computers cost over 1k for a half decent one.. not sure how I feel that you just said Alien-ware is the best gaming PC out there. They are in my opinion overpriced for the quality when you can get parts and build a much better PC for a lot cheaper.

Like anything you'll need to upgrade as technology improves, is why I got a bigger tower so I can put more parts in it as needed, going to upgrade my grapgics card once the 1080 becomes a little cheaper.

I mean I guess your right when you say I'll need to upgrade computer's over-time I definitelyagree with you there. But since you disagree with me about Alien-ware being the best gaming PC out there what do you think is the best. MSI Inifinite A pretty dope but I just love alien-ware b/c of it's flexibility and plus you can plug in some of your gaming controllers

I use my Xbox controller for most of my games, since Microsoft/Windows. I got everything here for just over 1k and it can play pretty much everything. Though I wasn't going to pay for the price of a 1080 card just yet.. too much and it's a little overkill for what I use my current PC for.

And as long as you're happy with what you got, who really cares. I just never thought the price of them was worth it, I suppose.

You can probably get a lot of the parts Alien-ware uses, for cheaper if you know how to put them together and build your own PC. Buying a pre-build is cool and all but it's more since you're basically paying to the labor and the retail costs/tax.

Angelic that would be wonderful, but sadly I cant build worth a shit! :lol:
I do have a friend who's REALLY good with computer's so I'll ask him ty for the advice

That's a nice computer you got there. I currently built a pc for someonewith the same gpu and it runs good. But, here my specs/setupc:

You should do that, yuh!

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/ This site is a nice one to pick out parts that are compatible with each other and you can build something and get a price quoted.

That's an awesome set up! Yuh, I want a better CPU, but I went a little cheap. Looks like we have the same mouse and keyboard too. Huehue
