Don't think twice, just do it.
||Posted .Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Yes. Have had mine for quite some time now, so I can put a full review. The tower is hefty, large and heavy, so take that into account with your desk setup. Inside, you'll find the 7800x paired with an alienware liquid cooler, a gtx 1080ti, and everything is cleanly wired with a professional tuck job. Like seriously, its a very solid, very clean build. Dell/Alienware put a lot of work into these. The side panels are easy to remove, one side is storage access, the other all the other goods. TONS of room for any kind of expansion you could want. Fans can be noisy in performance mode, but stays cool and has good ventilation(There's a lot of open space inside due to the way everything is arranged, its neat). The RGB is nice, but needs more zones imo but you can always customize it later on. I'm using 3rd party mouse, keyboard, and headset but all devices can be synced up pretty well with the RGB for a good look. It even has a button with an LED light on the rear panels so you can see to access all your rear ports. The angled back also makes hooking and unhooking things easier in cramped spaces. Tons of USB, display port, HDMI. its got it all. It runs 4k max settings NO problem. The FPS it can sustain in 4k honestly surprised me by a good bit.. I use mine for streaming/content creation and it works amazing as a single pc setup. Great for editing or gaming. I have had no issues, and no complaints, other than having to walk away from it at times to go "adult". Its a beast. If you want a high end prebuilt, this is the way to go.. Its also backed by Dell and their top notch customer service. All in all, I was looking for a single pc streaming/video production/gaming rig, and it has more than met all of my needs. I'd say this is honestly one of, if not THE, best PCs you can buy in a store.

great graphics & power
||Posted .my mother bought this for my 16yr old son for his birthday - he loves it. Says it has taken his gaming to a new level. However, if he could change anything - it would be the size - at 60lbs and the shape make it nearly impossible for him to attend any of his friends LAN parties.

Q: QuestionIs r5 better than r4
Asked by Swag.
- A:Answer There are a number of improvements with the R5 that add to the overall experience when compared to the R4. Not only does it feature Alien FX 2.0 which enables you to choose between 16.8 million distinct colors per zone, but it also incorporates Command Center 5.0 which allows you to not only tweak the aforementioned lighting but manage your game library and tweak system parameters all with a redesigned interface. So to answer your question in one word, yes!
