Hello all
My current computer that is used for gaming has become quite outdated. I'm going to keep it for surfing the net and other applications (3d max, photoshop etc). I'm going to get a new computer solely for gaming and I would like some advice.
I definitley want to go high end. I built my previous computer so, I'm not opposed to doing that again as it saves money, but I won a gift certificate to Alienware at my last Christmas party. They are overpriced and I've heard lots of horror stories about their customer service so I was thinking of selling the gift certificate and using the cash to buy the parts for my new computer.
My gift certificate is for $5000 so here is the computer I was looking at-
Alienware PC
I would upgrade the memory and stuff but I don't need any of the "add-ons"(monitor, speakers etc.)
What do you guys think? I wouldn't ever spend this on a computer, but having the certificate makes me want to. Do any of you own a Alienware? Was your experience good? I would like some opinion and/or advice.
Thanks
