Build your own and you can save hundreds more. The Failienware is two hardware generations behind, which makes it an even worse choice than current-gen models. The prebuilt is overpriced.

That depends on how much you want to spend, what games you want to play, what you want it to look like, etc.

If you're not ordering within the next few days, the guide I have in the topic can give you a good idea of what your budget can get you for a balanced gaming build.
