Hi Guys, I am looking to buy a computer for gaming and have looked at ASUS, ACER and Alienware as candidates. I know that building your own is popular nowadays but to be honest, I just don't want to go that route. Below is a configuration from Alienware that is on sale right now. It normally goes for $2799 Canadian but is on sale for $1999 right now. Do you think this is a worthy purchase? I know ASUS might have a better name for quality but I can't seem to get this configuration at a similar price from ASUS. Also, I am thinking that Alienware might provide better support post-purchase. Thoughts? Thanks Alienware Aurora R6 Alienware Aurora R6 Operating System Windows 10 Home 64bit English Processor IntelĀ® Coreā¢ i7-7700K Processor (4-Cores, 8MB Cache, Turbo Boost 2.0, Overclocked up to 4.4GHz) Office Productivity Software (Pre-Installed) Microsoft Office 30 Day Trial Memory 16GB DDR4 at 2400MHz; up to 64GB (additional memory sold separately) McAfee Live Safe No Anti-virus Requested Video Card NVIDIAĀ® GeForceĀ® GTX 1070 with 8GB GDDR5 Hard Drive 2TB 7200RPM 6Gb/s Chassis Options Alienwareā¢ 850 Watt Multi-GPU Approved Power Supply with High Peformance Liquid Cooling Wireless IntelĀ® 3165 1x1 802.11ac Wi-Fi Wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.2 CD ROM/DVD ROM Tray-loading Blu-ray Burner FGA Module No FGA Driver Intel Wireless 3165 Driver Diagnostic CD / Diskette Windows Resource DVD Placemat Placemat (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese) Retail Software Dell.com Order Retail Packing Label Dell.com Order Packaging Shipping Material Optical Software Cyberlink Media Suite Essentials without Media Non-Microsoft Application Software Additional Software Operating System Recovery Options No OS Recovery Disc Included Processor Label IntelĀ® Coreā¢ i7 Label Mouse No Mouse Documentation/Disks Safety/Environment and Regulatory Guide (English/French) Keyboard No Keyboard Hardware Support Services 1 Year Limited Hardware Warranty with Onsite Service after Remote Diagnosis Cable US Power Cord TOTAL: $1,999.99
