You get people saying AlienWare PC's are the best for gaming however they are not and you might as well buy a car with that money, as all you do with Alienware is pay for the logo. Self-Made computers are the best as you can design and have it how you like whilst also saving money like labour costs etc.. I recently just made a gaming PC for around £600-700 that will run any game (at the moment) in high graphics settings. Click here to view the topic
If you go with Self-Made then all of us Sutra's will help you out with parts etc if you don't have the knowledge and want the best for your money! Which I am very sure you do.
