    If he spent 7k on that, he wasted money more than likely. My system was around 8k, but it wasn't built for gaming, although it works well at it. Almost half of that is the 2 CPUs.

    Yeah, I came here first thinking people were wondering how he spent 7k on a computer, and I was going to post that it is easy to do so. But if he bought an alienware? Wow, he could have saved a ton just doing it himself.

    Two Xeons run 4k, it is easy to hit the 8k+ mark with a couple of those.

    I can build a system worth 12 grand, so it is very easy to hit the mark, and I don't mind that he spent the money on the computer. He has the money, do what you want with it, but don't buy Alienware, geez, it is an embarrassment.

    I'm sure some people think alienware is somehow better than other computers lol. But they're really just paying that much for the case. I would be embarassed to have one too! I'll never buy a pre-built desktop ever again! Considering all the money I would save I said screw it and just attempted to put it together myself and it was easier than I thought. If you can read directions carefully and use a screwdriver you can do it. Don't be scared people. Save that money.

    The manual that came with the motherboard tells you everything and I also used the newegg tutorial videos for help. Easy peasy.

    Only a fool would spend that much on a PC.

    You must have fallen for Aliencrap's advertising aimed for idiots. I swear they are as bad as Apple.

    $7k on a PC you could of built a super PC now your stuck with a thow away laptop, man they saw you coming a mile away.

    you should of spent less then half of that for a desktop. with a laptop you run the risk of having a meltdown with all that heat, the bus is weaker then a desktop so your not getting your money out of the pc's guts.

    You spent all that money on a computer which will likely run the game completely fine, why the need to test? When people have 50buck laptops that need testing!

    8000USD sounds pretty insane. For much less approx 6700USD, I could get a PC with these specs from komplett.no

    Corsair Obsidian 800D Big Tower Sort
    Corsair AX 1200W PSU
    Intel® Core i7-3970X Extreme
    Corsair H100 Hydro Series CPU Kjøler
    ASUS P9X79 LE, Socket-2011, KUN PC-PROD
    Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1600MHz 16GB
    Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1600MHz 16GB
    ASUS GeForce GTX 690 4GB PhysX CUDA x 2 SLi
    Plextor Blu-Ray Writer PX-B950SA
    Crucial m4 SSD 2.5" 512GB
    Seagate Barracuda® 2TB
    Logitech Gaming Keyboard G105
    Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse Black
    Microsoft Windows 8 PRO 64bit

    So I am really interested in the spec of the PCs the people who said they spend over 7000

    That to me is completely overkill. Like by the time you could tap into that your mobo and ram would be obsolete. Right?
