A good gaming desktop?

[Jaydon]

I was looking for a good quality gaming desktop to buy. As of now I will be buying the Alienware X51 i3 for $699.
Is there any other better gaming desktops for around the same price..? I am wanting to use it for Skyrim and being able to get 30FPS.

(Please do not tell me to build my own. I would rather not.)

Whether that Alienware is any good depends much on what GPU they have it paired with, and which i3 it is. The price is kinda high for an i3 build, imo, unless the GPU is really good.

I'd say it's a good deal, go for it. Your video cards has an interesting choice. The 750ti is superior, and you only really need 2gb of video ram, but over the next year or so that might go up. The 745 is a bit slower but it comes with 4gb...I might go with the 745. I would definitely increase your ram to 8gb, so you'll know you will be covered for any games you want to play.

Here is another choice to consider: http://www.rakuten.com/prod/pre-built-digital-storm-vanquish-level-2-with-asus-asus-h81m-e-and-8gb/258728972.html?listingId=319445833&sclid=pla_google_DigitalStorm&adid=29963&gclid=CIia-tPghsECFa5cMgodTT0AJQ&scid=af_linkshare&adid=18094&siteID=Cty0dj6o3sg-bJ4zdrQjaEiJcDxP1coj2g

For another $100 you get a 3-yr warranty, a better processor, more ram and a better GPU.
