How does this computer sound

[Wiggles]

I am going to end up buying a new computer by the end of 2011 and I need to start saving now.

This is what I have in mind, it is an alienware, and it is close to $10,000

Tell me what I should do, buy this or build my own.

$10,000 but I wont need to be upgraded for like 5 years, and It can do ANYThing, and it includes a 3 year Premium service play *$500
A 3D Monitor, and 3DKit, and 12GB tri channel RAM

$10,000 is A LOT, especially for a computer :/ but if it can do that much stuff it seems worth the price, it's really going to depend on how much spare money you have to spend, I usually just get a $300 Windows Vista

I would have to save for a while, and sooner or later Ill get that much, but that computer is unstoppable.

Will be able to play every game on High for like 5 years.

That PC is a beast, 6 core. :O
Very expensive, but worth it. Although, if you shop around a bit and make a custom PC you could probably get the same performance, but cheaper.

But it doesn't have an alien on it

If you learnt correctly...
With Alienware; you do pay for the name.

$10.000? thats a bit mad for a pc i would recommend getting the i7 quad and a high power graphics card and maybe 8gb ram soemthing to keep you in for about a year or 2 spending that much now will only move you to about the 2nd year when something better comes out.

Amd are working on the 8 core processor i think.

 

[Alta La-Ahad]

Its is great but Alex is right something new and better will come out in 1-2 year and then what you will want but oyu wont have the money to buy it becasue you already spend it.

 

[Zeroifrit]

Well if he buys it then he will be satisfied like 6 years.

But in one year new parts will come out and ones he want will became cheaper and that's also + for him.

 

[Flow'n]

Build your own, I dont think anyone needs to spend that much on a computer...

 

[Reksii]

Loads of people say that Alienware is a total rip-off. You can build your own with those same specs for even a cheaper price.

 

[CrossFires]

DAAAAAAAAMN DUDEEEE 13000$ for PC, I want it to xD But on topic, dunno what to say, in my country if you biuld your own PC you save a lot of money.

 

[Zeroifrit]

I agree with peoples above.

You can easy find most of parts in different shops.(That's how i did it , well most parts i got from my uncle)

I would pay my PC around 1400$ but i got all parts by myself and saved good 500$. Also got Windows and most of software's for free (from uncle).

 

[Dawn of War]

I change my mind...
Build your own, it may not have an alien on it but sounds like a way better deal
