so what are the top brands i should go with. i've heard both bad and good from alienware and that dell XPS or whatever. anyothers?
Build your own!
But, if you don't want to do that, Dell systems are decent. I wouldn't get Alienware. Overpriced, and I think they were just bought by Dell, so now their line isn't as superior to what it once was.

Yeah, I probably won't be much help though, since the last time I bought a whole computer (not counting laptops) was in '98. And if I had the chance to go back in time, I probably would *****slap myself for buying a Gateway. Great computer, just overpriced. Nowadays, though, it just seems like there is less of a price difference between pre-built Dells and rolling your own.
