better specs for $600 less and looks better, check mated yet?
intended for gaming and can master blockland and minecraft just like my $700 WINDOWS laptop (!!!)
oh and max out some other games.

You shouldn't get an alienware, You also don't need to build it yourself. Check out a few places that build pc's based on parts you pick, The price wouldn't be bad.

Overclockers uk / Cyber Power System

I got an idea, he could just buy the parts and take it to a local computer technician.
sounds like a good idea, no?

I'd charge $200 to put it together.

I don't judge computers by spec, I don't play games so why would I? No point trying to change my mind, I can afford to spend the premium on Apple products for their fantastic design, reliability and support, so I do. There's more to computers than just power.

Rub is an idiot when it comes to computer. Enough said. Go to the computer megathread as you'll get stuff advice here.

Ok, you're a friend. I don't know where the reliability and support come into play really because msi has that. You just have no idea what you're talking about and you were wrong.

Probably the worst build of $1000 I've seen.
A 6770? Seriously?

i put that together in like 5 minutes

im too stupid to pick graphics cards, can you find a better one

[FrogFreak]

I'm using a $1,000 HP desktop with an aftermarket graphics card. I don't have a whole lot of complaints, and I don't really have to worry about game specs, for at least a few years. Minecraft gets at least an average of 140 fps. Blockland is basically no issue, a lot of new games can be played at a good level as well.

A word of advice though, if you do install aftermarket parts, make sure you have an adequate power supply. :S

Also, I would not suggest a mac for gaming.

it's funny because asus has fantastic design, reliability and support.
reliability being that they make their own parts, asus is a hardware company, only makes sense to make laptop hardware and put it in their laptops and sell it for cheaper then the rest of the gaming laptops.
design, well, look at the loving chunk in the back, that's the loving fan.
support being that they actually listen to their customers and try to get rid of 1-2 egg reviews.

your precious "reliable" apple uses foxconn products, which are known to usually be unreliable.
i believe it's foxconn, too lazy to check what it is for real.
the HDD they use is known to fail.

My graphics card is made by ASUS! :o

Warranty's are fun.

Ok, you're a friend. I don't know where the reliability and support come into play really because msi has that. You just have no idea what you're talking about and you were wrong.

Support is the Genius Bar, if you have a problem they will repair either there or then, overnight or replace the machine outright for no charge. Compare that to MSI, you'd probably have to send it off to China or something for 2 weeks.

I know enough to have built my own Windows desktop utilising hybrid crossfire to enable quad monitor output on a budget, decided Windows wasn't for me for my work and swapped to Mac where I've had a very pleasant experience. Please, chill out and realise I might actually have a well found opinion on the matter, there's really no reason to call me a friend.
