The alienware x51 feautures, gddr5 GTX 645, i5 3330 @ 3.2 gigs.
I would like to know, whether it is worth 60k ?
And can it run most games at ultra ?
Without any problems or so.
I'm a fan of the design and its mobility, that's why I'm confused. Please help, thankyou. :)
 


its ULTRA overpriced only a mid range pc that you can build for 600€ np and it won't run games at 1080p medium sometimes. So no forget about it and build yourself an mini itx system for the same price that will destroy this thing and it will be really compact and mobile.
 


the i5 is one off the lowest end models. the gtx 645 is not even enough to play at medium. and the design has heating issues.And ultra is only possible on something like and hd 7950 or gtx 670 or up if you want more then 45fps avarage. If you like lights and that sort off stuff start looking at some pc cases there are a lot off good looking ones out there. (if you want a train chaped pc case that excists to)
 


It's a cheap case, it's a low end i5, it's a terrible OEM videocard.

It's a Dell.
It's over priced. It won't run games very well.
 
This alienware has no heating issues at all, we have an external 350 wats PSU.
If I assemble my pc, it won't have a case like that, slim and portable, because the PSU will be inside it, it will be a bigger case surely.
 


4 people said it's a bad buy.

If you know better than us, go ahead and purchase it. 350W is a tiny powersupply. You'll need to replace it if you want to upgrade the videocard, and since it's propriety to the tower, you might need to replace the tower as well.

You've been warned.

4 -5 K? Maybe $250 at most.
 
Again its crap. First question do you really think its protable with a psu outside? you will need to carry that and thats verry unhandy. Second question to you want to save A LOT OFF MONEY AND GET A BETTER SYSTEM? 3rd question if you think its better then anything in the world why ask us dor advice?
Btw that lighting is very easy to do its only like 150€ or so to get a huge pile off led strip to make your pc look like a christmas tree. But its your choise and if you wanted i can give your an build that is way better than this pice off crap.
 
full tower option:
fx 8320
r9-280x or hd 7970
asrock extreme 4 970
8 gb off ram
a crosair 750 w psu (feel free to choose)
and cooler master cm 690 III (nice case)
an samsung 840 evo 120gb ssd
an wd blue 1 tb
an hyper 212 evo
and a dvd rw
this will be something like 900-1000
 


Sure and the price for that full tower was 900-1000€
here is the mini itx
ASRock Z87E-ITX (i haven't really been reccomending mini itx build all that much but this board should be just fine)
and intel core i5 4670k ( or non k if your don't want to oc and that is not reccomended in miniitx builds)
8 gb ram
for the case i really like the looks off the bitfenix prodigy but its pretty tall so if you want small an cooler master elite 120 will do
you can use the stock intel heatsink but i don't reccomend that so the zalman CNPS8900 will do the job off colling very good
for the graphics i would go with an gtx 760 or r9-270x (because they produce less heat)
and for the rest its the same as the full tower build
this would be 1000€ or so and its less powerfull then the full tower (overall 10%)

IF YOU DONT PLAN TO OC OR MODIFY THE PC TOO MUCH THIS IS YOUR CHOICE OTHERWISE TELL ME I COULD BUILD YOU A MID TOWER THIS BUILD WOULD BE GREAT TO PLAY BF4 ULTRA BASICALLY ALLOW EASY ENOUGH PORTABILITY VIA CUSTOMZATION FOR FUTURE LAN STYLE. I CHOSE A BOARD THAT YOU CANNOT SLI OR CROSSFIRE WITH BECAUSE I FIND IT KINDA USELESS BUT THATS MY OPINION ITS MUCH BETTER TO JUST BUY ONE SINGLE POWERFUL CARD.


ALSO YOU BETTER BUY THE ITEMS FAST! SINCE THE PRICES ALWAYS CHANGE.

and could you tell me what monitor you are using?










 


Give him an sshd and he is good
 
No use to give him an SSHD in his price range because they are only most effective with windows 7 and vista and I have no clue until now what OS he's gonna use other wise he could cut down to 1tb instead on his HDD and in the near future hopefully he can get an samsung 840 evo 120 gigs SSD. Waiting for boozomon to reply.
