$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
Click to expand...

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.

$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.

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.

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.

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).
