Would be way cheaper if you just buy the parts and make your own pc

If i'm honest, I wouldn't touch an Alienware PC with a large stick. They suck so bad. A friend of mine got the Aurora about 2 years ago. It can't run BF4 on medium or above.

As everyone else has said already; Alienware is definitely something I'd avoid. You can build that computer for way less and have better parts. Alienware isn't really a company that focuses on the lifespan of their computers.

It's not bad, quad channel ddr3 @ 1600mhz and a GTX 680 for example. However I fear it will most likely be a reference card.

Also the i7 3820 is quite old and beaten by the likes of the 3770k and 4770k in most benchmarks, I'd put money on the motherboard being of Dell/Alienware design, I doubt as good as other vendors such as ASUS, MSi and Gigabyte.

With $1300 you could easily build something better than that Alienware and have even more LED's, if that's what you're into.

Dont you mean barge pole?
and yes would be better and much cheaper to buy seperately, also ive heard that alienware PC's have pretty bad airflow?
other than that the only bad thing is the OS (just my general hatred for Win 8)
