I may be getting a new computer. I'm the type of guy that likes to do work and store stuff like photos on my computer, but I like to play games. What is the best out there for me? (Disregard prices. I'll figure that stuff out later.)

Are you planning on building anything yourself (which you should)? Or are you looking for a store-built computer?

Alienware is pretty reliable. I also think they look the best too. For $1250.00 you can get a Alienware x51 with i7 3770 and a gtx 555 gpu. That should be able to do what you want. Then if you want to upgrade later you could buy a gtx 660 ti gpu.

I dont know what you budget is but that computer would be awesome for photoshop and gaming. Alienware also makes so good expensive computers. Like some that are 6 grand I think.

I would get something from Ibuypower or Cyberpower with a GTX 570/670 and a 2500k. Don't be an idiot and buy Alienware unless you have a huge fetish for being ripped off. Of course, you could always build your own fairly easily, which would be far cheaper than any new prebuilt.

Don't buy an alienware for the love of god. That $1250 Pc is a rip off.

I also would say avoid cyberpower. My PC is cyberpower. They give you a cheap knock off PSU, crappy fans etc and it's all super overpriced. All I can say is build a PC or just don't even bother looking for a good deal. Nearly all pre builts are rip offs.

If you're going to go prebuilt this looks *ok* for the price seems pretty cheap too me.

Alienware does it all. Plus it has a cool alien logo. Doesn't get better than that.

That actually doesn't seem too bad. I would have thought the graphics card would have been a lot worse.

Build your own desktop. It's not that hard, you'll save money, and you'll get a better PC in the end. Take advantage of combo deals on Newegg.

Did you seriously just recommend someone who want's to game on PC a PC that costs $1250 and only has a GTX 555?... I can understand the previous argument's when it came to "portability" but this is just ridiculous you need to stop recommending on these forums because you may end up getting people to waste their money. Do what you will with your money but stop recommending that others following in your ignorant foot steps.

Yep, I will always recommend Alienware. I see nothing wrong with buying from them. Alienware is the most awesome computer maker period.

Indeed. Store built ones are out to make a killing and usually aren't as high end as what you could get with the $$, especially if u build it yourself. Most of the time I think you could build a great pc for under $1000, which should be able to play everything out there maxed.

While I think Alienware is a very reputable company, I'm sure you could buy the same pc, much cheaper from another place. We all know they have to make a profit, but like a lot of people up here have stated, you're selling yourself short if you buy a pre-built Alienware pc vs either building your own, or picking the components from a place like Cyberpower. I can understand if the consumer doesn't wanna build his pc, and would rather buy it pre-built, but I think there are a lot cheaper sites to go to, which will let you hand pick your components, the Alienware.

Just get some parts.......... or you could give us your budget and we could make a part list for you. Just pay someone 50 bucks to assemble all of them and viola.... You end up with something much better in performance and value.
