Alienware x51

[quote=DR34MK1LL3R]Aight thanks guys. Dave, my current laptop runs well, but as I said before, all settings are on low, and I still have more laggy games than not, and I got this laptop only in 2011. That is the reason I need a new pc. The reason I was looking at the x51 is because of how small it is. I need a pc that is small, runs well, and is inexpensive. Republic thanks for the post. I will continue looking into that pc. I am just not very knowledgeable as to what makes a pc tick, so that is why I posted this thread. I also found [url=http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Desktop+-+8GB+Memory+-+500GB+Hard+Drive/6980021.p;jsessionid=44A52C96B2FCFAEF64D8B5C05C18093F.bbolsp-app02-159?id=1218818471270&skuId=6980021&st=iBuyPower&cp=1&lp=3]this[/url] pc at best buy. Thoughts anyone?[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]not sure how nVidia GPU works with AMD CPU, but you're giving up on 500Gb on your HDD, comparing to the Asus.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=DR34MK1LL3R] LOL dave thats an asus pc in that box XD and have you seen the x51?[/quote] ಠ_ಠ That joke was awful. Now, seriously, if you want a cheap computer that can run most new games at low/medium at 1080p with good FPS(LoL is not a new game), then the AMD APUs are great value. So if you're going for a cheaper alternative they are probably the best choice. [url=http://www.amazon.com/Asus-CM1745-US006S-ASUS-Desktop-Black/dp/B009PHWI2W]This Asus PC[/url] has one, and the 8GB RAM and 1TB HDD are pretty nice too. If you want to be able to run new games at high or max at 1080p, then you should look into building your own, because that often gives you better parts for the same money compared to buying a finished PC. For that you'll want an Intel 4670K CPU, Nvidia GTX760 (MSI's version is probably the best), 8 or 16GB RAM at 1600MHz or above(just don't blow a lot of cash on the RAM), 1 or 2TB HDD and possibly an SSD if you're feeling rich :P [quote=Pheyniex] not sure how nVidia GPU works with AMD CPU[/quote] That doesn't matter. Both follow standards and it will work just like Intel+Nvidia would. The GT610 is weak as fuck though, and I doubt it'll be any better than AMD's APUs. [quote=MyRepublic] It's a suggestion. If you don't like it look at other asus computers. They're better than alienware and are better.[/quote] What did you say they where again? ;) Also, looked at a few other Asus PCs on Amazon, they were not as good.[/quote]

[quote=BusDriver210]Don't buy Alienware, they are grossly over priced. I recommend buying parts from [url]newegg.com[/url] and building it yourself. You'll save money and get better specs for less.[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]yeah, i've seen standards not being enough... especially with new technology. =3[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites]Mind you that I'm computer illiterate so take what I say to a grain of salt but, Asus is a fantastic gaming computer, imo better than Alienware. I've talked to guys in my schools tech department and they said Alienware is great for gaming but aside from that it doesn't offer much else. From what I've heard it's also difficult to get parts for them because they're mostly customized, but again, I don't know that much[/quote]

[quote=BusDriver210]Doghouse systems is a decent place to buy a PC, although you do still pay for brand name.[/quote]

[quote=MyRepublic][quote=Searz] What did you say they where again? ;) Also, looked at a few other Asus PCs on Amazon, they were not as good. [/quote] I forgot to type the word "priced", and yeah that's why I posted that one.[/quote]

[quote=DR34MK1LL3R]Alright thanks everyone. I am no longer in need of this thread :3 EDIT: all you guys thinking I was serious :3 I forgot this is reading not listening that was sarcasm :P[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=DR34MK1LL3R] Alright thanks everyone. I am no longer in need of this thread :3[/quote] Lol, doesn't even tell us what he did. Isn't that the logical thing to do when others cared enough to help you out? :P[/quote]
