And Alienware at that?

Market price of that CPU and GPU is $1000+ alone.

I'm confused.

For awhile now. It's much, much cheaper to buy a prebuilt from reputable sellers

The only issue I remember with Alienware was they had a tiny form factor so doing any upgrades was a bitch/impossible. That was the only downside but maybe that's changed.

If I was a pc enthusiast I'd still rather build one... Just more fun and personal, I'd customize it nicely.

The mainboards they use are absolute garbage too.

No problem. You'd get more value wiping your ass with a dollar
