Here are some ideas for builds. Pre-Built PC's tend to use low quality parts.
4GB of RAM is more than sufficient.

But tbh I would build one my self instead of making pre built. Like Tyree said they use lower quality parts, althought the alienware computers I have linked above tend to use higher prices thus high quality products. Still you would save money by building your one and also have that feeling that yeah did it my self I know what's going on inside the case.

Alienware makes good computers, but their prices are ridiculous. If you want a good computer without breaking the bank, it's better to build it yourself.

You can build an Alienware for about half of what they charge and you don't get the ugly case.

you R confoozin me Tyree; the alienware buyers say those cases are "smokin hot" and worth every penny of the $300.00 / $400.00 price tag for thoses cases ? you mean they are not "pretty"

**Tyree** · 07-10-2009, 08:25 PM

I meant you can build the whole PC for about 1/2 of what Alienware charges for their builds. And no, I do not find their cases "pretty".
