Alienware is it worth it?

Nope, not worth it. Build it yourself for less.

 

I agree with this statement! Find the parts included in the AW box u want and then go to NewEgg or Nerds.net...way cheaper & just as good

24gb of ddr3 ram at 2500mhz is quite out there though. Dreams..

What type of motherboard supports that amount of ram anywayshttp://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/blink.gif.

 

EVGA Classified SR-2. Nuff said.

 

Also supports 2 processors. If you want a supercomputer, start with the SR-2.

 

that board is BEAST

Found out my budget was more than halved, so i am looking at IbuyPowers Gamer Paladin D855 and CyberPowers Gamer Dragon 8000. both with a good sized monitor, and under 1500

pay attention if/when you order

 

do you need an operating system

 

does one come with the machine

 

(artificial way to deflate a price)

 

and can you get a better less expensive monitor form newegg

not too shabby actually. if you built that off of newegg or something, you could prolly get a couple hundred dollars off.

 

is your PSU 80 PLUS certified?

 

which version of w7 is it?

 

imo i would still build it, even if it came out to the same price.

upgrade the 560ti to EVGA 560ti it'll be well worth it. also i really doubt ibuypower or cyberpower wold sell a non 80 plus certifed PSU it would be just awful business for them.
