    *Whistles and it slowly dies down* Thats a close one. Because I have a custom Pc (which im on now) and an alienware, and they are pretty close. And my CPC has the best of the best everything and my alienware is pretty up to par.

    Good luck.

    I would Start from SCRATCH...there are some excellent Tutorials and Walkthroughs that can easily turn a PC Builder out of you.....This means get a Power Source, Graphics Card....and a Mother Board (All of that Stuff) But if your a noob with computer Parts....then go to ibuypower.com, or you could always get the Custom PC without some Components...then Put in what you feel like.....its definitely worth it....it is better than the Alienware...(Over-rated)

    ok all i have to say is that i dont know why evryone thinks that alien wares are soo good b/c they arent and they are usually more exoensive so with that i would say to deefiantly get a custom my freind built a computer fo around 1000$ and its as good as the most high end slien ware that costs 4000$ so you do the math

    Custom pc, definetly. You can pick your own stuff, mod it to make it look sweet, and you can get it for a hell of a lot less than an Alienware
