is the alienware aurora worth its 630 pound price tag?

Ive been hearing that the alienware aurora is not worth the money at all what i'm asking is could i get the same components for a cheaper price elsewhere and would i be able to play great looking games like crysis, world in conflict etc on high settings.

I assume you are looking at the standard, non- customized model.

Basically, it has a good graphics card (pretty much all games high or very high @ 1600x1200 or lower) but the processor is weak. Couple that with the fact that it only has 2gb of Ram, with 4gb coming in @ and extra £77, I would not go for it at all. However, Dell systems and Alienware systems (owned by Dell) are always quite high quality. As a matter of fact, I am typing this on a Dell XPS 430 as I write this.

See my sig for a review on it, I bought it only last month. At the time it cost me £600, but I got; 4850, Q8200, 3gb DDR3 and a X48 mobo. I recommend you look into it (and my review!).

You can build a Pc for $700 that can all games all on high settings.04dcarraher

could you give me a link as when i search it on dell it comes up a dell xps 430 but it doesn't let me customize the graphics card further than 4680

Alienware and worth it do not go together. For 700 bucks you can get a very powerful system if you build it yourself.

No prebuilt gaming machine is worth the money when you can build your own.

They are worth the money when you dont have the time knowledge willpower to build and tune one yourself.

For alienware itself, compare it too other boutique shops.

Sorry to get picky but you forgot the HDD. So say $800.00 if you don't need a monitor, KB & M, or speakers.

And MonsieurX he said 630 pound ? Since when are Britsh money are the same as usa money value ? and since when newegg Exist in UK =) ? If We build him a pc either use shopbot uk / Dabs or Overclocker.co.uk or better price if you find

and then we must find a Good Processor / motherboard / video card Setup i'm pretty sure it quite decent what you get for 650-800 pound
