[florinchitu79]

I have a budget and I can't decide:

1.Alienware Area 51 Centauri Intel Core i7-6850K 64GB DDR4 4TB HDD 512GB SSD Dual nVidia GeForce GTX 1080 8GB

2.Alienware Aurora R7 Base Intel Core i7-8700 16GB DDR4 1TB HDD 256GB SSD nVidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB

Prices are the same!So what would you choose?

Thank you!

8700 is slightly faster and also has a much lower TDP but 6850K has more PCIE lanes, is overclockable (the motherboard that comes with 8700 supports overclocking, but the CPU doesn't). Then again, getting 2x 1080's and 64GB for the same price as 1080 Ti and 16GB is quite the deal.
