    Dude, don't get an Alienware. If you get a cheap one it sucks, and if you get an expensive one your not getting your moneys worth... Trust me.

    They compleatly rip you off, the comp I poasted is a good example.

    You can get a $5,000 comp that is a LITTLE better than the one I just poasted.

    And I also gave him the link where he can buy all of that for that exact price.

    :P

    Yeah, don't get an Alienware. I'd recommend AMD CPUs for gaming. They are so much better than Intels at gaming.

    AMD Athlon 3500+ Venice
    1 GB (2x512) OCZ Gold Series RAM
    DFI Lanparty Ultra-D Motherboard
    NVIDIA 6800 GT

    I agree with that but they are also more expensive, I want to give him a reasonable price for high preformance.

    A 3500+ Venice isn't that expensive. Around $250.

    Btw, SirKillAlot09, for the $5000 configuration, why would you go with Intel? With that high of a budget, you can get an AMD X2 4800+ which beats the Intel 840 in everything according to benchmarks.

    How reliable can any of that stuff from the cyberpowersystem.com place be? I've found some very nice stuff for a good price but since this isn't exactly a mainstream company, I'm a little uneasy about buying something I'm not sure is going to hold up for the long run.
