Hey guys, as you can see in the title I am looking for a gaming computer. I've been thinking of getting the Alienware x51 but there were a lot of bad reviews on it, now I don't know what to get, I do not intend of building a computer because getting the parts can be a pain, and I do not know how to build a computer because this is going to be the first gaming computer I am getting. What I use to play games is a laptop it's not really for gaming but I do play games on it, but the performance is horrible. I lag a lot even when I close out all of my browsers and stop all the programs that I am not using. But I still lag.

I really do not know what kind of computer I am getting which is why I am asking you guys. I was thinking of getting a Cyber Power PC, but a lot of people think it's a bad brand and that you should not buy anything from them. Maybe it's because their computers are like $500. I was thinking of getting that because of the price but the rating of it makes me not want to get it anymore, I just don't want any problems with a computer when I get it. So I don't have to go through so much into fixing it. But I know building a computer will be the best because you can make the best computer in the world or something instead of getting a pre-built one that will break the next day.

So yeah overall I'm just asking if there is a gaming computer that is really good, has good reviews and ratings and is pre-built. Thanks

It really isn't that hard to build a computer from scratch. Some sites make it really easy to get parts, too.
Where do you live? If you live in America, I recommend Newegg. Look up a computer build for your budget, make some changes to it.
If you live in AU, go to www.cplonline.com.au or centrecom.com.au. Unfortunately I don't know any other sites :p

If you absolutely MUST buy a prebuilt computer, you can always go to Digitalstormonline.com. They have great prices.

Hope I helped :p

Building a computer would be the best choice but you have to have experience and age, all it really is is plugging in wires and parts. And it's alot less expensive. I'd go with Alienware for pre-builts, DON'T go with CyberPower, they cheap out on parts and have bad quality and customer service. Ibuypower is okay, i've heard mixed reviews. To be safe go with the x51.

But I've seen ALOT of good reviews on cyberpowers. And I've also searched on youtube cyberpower unboxing videos and a lot of people have CP products. Besides if the computer fails they can give me my cash back and everyones happy.

Ok it's still your choice but that's my opinion.
