I'm looking to buy a new gaming computer, and I've come across Alienware Alpha. I need it to be compact size (basically anything that can fit in carry-on luggage) since I'm moving across the ocean in less than a year, and I'd prefer not to spend too much money.
I only play games like League of Legends, World of Wacraft, Diablo III, Civ 5 - and I'd like to run them at least high settings.
Now my options so far are:
1. Alienware Alpha http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/cty/pdp/spd/alienware-alpha-r2-desktop?~ck=mn
- Either the $500 model and then I'd add another 4GB stick to it.
- Or 2. the $750 model but that's more than I'd want to spend, UNLESS it's that much better than the lower model.
3. Refurbished Alienware Alpha older from eBay, but with i5 ($400) - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alienware-Alpha-Intel-Quad-Core-Gaming-Desktop-Console-8GB-DDR3-1TB-HDD-WIN10PRO/372048473554?hash=item569fd12dd2%3Ag%3AWisAAOSwPdRZlkQb#viTabs_0
Scroll all the way down for GPU and other components.
If you know of any similar prebuilt computers that are better and/or cheaper, please link them!
I'm aware that I could probably get better value if I built one myself. I doubt I could do it, or would even know which components to buy since I literally know nothing about computers. But if someone could link a list of all the "stuff" I'd need including the case, and that it's around the same price as these, that'd be great too.
