I am thinking about buying an Alienware x51 desktop computer mostly for steam games, it would be customized as follows:
Processor: Intel Core i7-6700
Video Card: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX™ 970 with 4GB GDDR5
Memory: 16GB
Alienware Graphics Amplifier ($179.99)
Total Price: $1,579.98
How does this computer compare with the market?
Fuuck man, this is some bait
The fuck is the graphics amplifier?
That's just not powerful enough. I mean it would be perfect for things like terraria but anything else would lag too much.

You don't need the graphics card if you're getting the amplifier. Sell it after you buy a different card for the amplifier
>>53738771
It's a mid range pc at a high end cost. It's somewhere shitty and average considering polaris/pascal soon, no dx12, and 3.5gb. But maybe the graphics amplifier can amplify your graphics enough for it to be good
>>53738771
you could do better for less than 1k
Alienware..

It amplifies your graphics.

FYI - The X51 R2 would run a GTX980 internally, on the 330W PS, without throttling...

No thanks. I'll take the Alienware for a premium computing experience.

lel?

Alienware is always shit. Allllllllllways. There are like a dozen other custom PC builders that are better. Ibuypower, cyberpowerPC, NCIX if you're stuck in the frozen wasteland known as Canada, etc.

I'm getting 2k back in tax returns and I want to build a computer with 800 dollars of it. Got these specs generated and then asked around. Does this shit look ok? Any suggestions, /g/?
I'm 24 and going into grad school again so I'll be busy. That means not too much gaming will be done on it but I'd like the option to play modern games. Mostly I'll be using it for school-related activities; writing, database work, statistical work, etc.. I'd also probably load a fuckload of movies onto it and use it as a plex media server.

Mate, do you even code?
>>53740263
I wanna dual-boot windows and linux, I need Windows for school shit. Otherwise I'll use Linux.

What you save initially, you more than lose in efficiency and regret.
>>53740309
Just pirate it then you dumb faggot. Or get it for free through dreamspark from your school.
>>53740211
>I'd like the option to play modern games
double your budget
>>53740211
You could get an OC mobo+processor instead of win10
Just drop some money down the road to get an aftermarket heatsink (you will want one) and you can get more performance from you processor and better temps.
Consider it an investment in your CPU.

>double your budget
All he needs is a stronger gpu
>>53740342
This. Best not to run a dedicated graphics card entirely and just go off the iGPU. That way you save the most money.
>>53739191
External gpu. But I think it's propietary.
>>53738771
Go for it, Alienware has Moonrocks Tech that self built fags don't have, it makes your gaming go 200% faster and cleans your fps right up.
>>53738771
get a i3 and save big bucks
>>53738771
Dude pre dell alienware was pretty beast but ever since it just makes more sense to build your own as opposed to shelling out major money for a computer that is a markup on the already marked up xps line.
>>53738771
Not gonna lie, I think alienware is shit, but the inner japanese girl in me loves small form factors and convenient design.
Please tell me theres a way to make a high end pc that slim.
>>53740497
What GPU would be good? I'm flexible on the price, but doubling it is obviously out of the picture. At most I'll play 1-2 new games a year, the rest will probably be indie shit or classics.

Raidmax PSU? Really? Fuck that shit dude. I'd rather not die when I turn on my computer.

No mini itx case looks as nice as OPs.
