This pc will rock out almost any video game, but Alienware's a bit overpriced. For an example this

Gaming PC is almost 2 times better. For about the same price. I recommend not buying Alienware's 'Glowing boxes'. And doing some research for gaming pcs. And one more thing. HP's are a bit over clocked making them over work themselves usually ending in a quicker 'death' than most pcs. I recommend Asus and Lenovo. I'm leaving off Dell because Dell's gaming pcs are Alienwares.
Hope this helped you.

This computer would absolutely fry the Alienware:

You're getting 8 (!) cores of 4 GHz pure processing power, an R9 high-performance GPU, 128 GB SSD, 2 TB HDD, 16 GB of Kingston 1866 MHz gaming RAM, a 650W Gold PSU, a blue glowing case… What's not to like?

$888 in total.
