Alienware X51?
|
|
Sigh yes yes I'm still alive... Just don't game very often anymore.... Anyways.. I'm thinking about buying an ALienware X51 the $1200 ver to replace my PC which is believe is in my sig. I thought I'd consult you all for your expert advice since I've been out of the scene for awhile and am not up to speed on current tech and prices. I want it to preform as good as or better than my current PC. Alothough I don't play PC games that often anymore currently I'm highly debating getting back into them so I want to make sure the X51 will be capable.
Thanks in advance!!! _________________ XFX 680i SLi, Q6600, 4GB DDR2, 2x1TB WD SATA HD's,2 8800GTS 512mb G92 core Overclocked Ed. SLI'ed, Physics Card, Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, G15, Razer Copperhead, 22" Wide screen.

I'll be honest the look and size is totally what's getting my attention on this, I could build my own custom PC I have plenty of time I just really like the compactness and aesthetics of this design. My friend did introduce some competition for Alienware though check it out here http://www.ibuypower.com/Info/revolt/home.aspx looks pretty similar yet has a tone of more hardware options. It does cost a tiny bit more but I think it will be more inviting to upgrades later on. The Alienware claims its upgradable but it only has a 330w PSU and I would imagine new GPU'S could and might take more power.
What are you all opinions of running an i5 vs i7 I read somewhere that you won't even tell the difference in gaming and that the i7 is just more helpful for powerful programs. _________________ XFX 680i SLi, Q6600, 4GB DDR2, 2x1TB WD SATA HD's,2 8800GTS 512mb G92 core Overclocked Ed.

Eh they do seem solid but I just bought a new laptop a year ago so I'm good there. Right now I'm looking to upgrade my desktop. The revolt r770 is looking pretty feisty! _________________ XFX 680i SLi, Q6600, 4GB DDR2, 2x1TB WD SATA HD's,2 8800GTS 512mb G92 core Overclocked Ed.

Well I'm pretty set on getting one of these revolts They're priced pretty fairly and they pack a punch for their size.... Anyone interested in buying my current PC PM me. _________________ XFX 680i SLi, Q6600, 4GB DDR2, 2x1TB WD SATA HD's,2 8800GTS 512mb G92 core Overclocked Ed.
