What is the better deal for a good gaming computer that will last me for a long time playing high-end computer games?

By the way are Alienwares good computers?

just a noob

ibuypower hands down, alienware is really over rated, i would have liked one of their cases, but that itself is like 400 dollars, you would get even more if you built it yourself

I would think that the second one is the better deal... But I have to agree you might as well build your own, even if you go for the same configuration at the least you will save enough money to upgrade it down the line.

alienware overpriced.
Ibuypower's Mobo is 650i chipset. Not a clever way to SLi.
Go to there website and customize with a 780i/680i chipset!

cohen

ibuypower is a very nice looking system on the way of specs.

Alienware are a very overpriced and crappy systems!

Are you able to build??

Because we could give you almost the same system with some better things for a little less
