    I had to do a review to help other like minded Gamers out during the holiday season. We been building our gaming computers for decades but this was one deal that looked too good to pass up. At this price range it made our choice very easy, to build this computer it just didn't add up. We got this pc at $1499.00 a few days ago, somewhat lower cost than what it would be to build it "Not including tech support if needed", optic drive, keyboard and mouse. On Alienware's site it also didn't come with these accessories that Best Buy is offering. It was ready for pickup in less than 15 minutes, the pc ran without a hitch and handled every game I threw at it with ease. Doom 4 on all Ultra settings looks Beautiful and performed amazingly. I wouldn't hesitate if you are looking for the ultimate gift this holiday season for a hardcore or casual gamer. We were tempted to go for the system with the 1070 and ssd drive but these 2tb drives run so fast that I personally cannot notice in realtime "non benchmarks" of games loading any faster than our other system with ssd's. The GTX 1080 is so awesome. In the future you could always add the ssd for $79. The GTX 1080 was just the better choice trade off. Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! and God Bless!

    I found this machine online and decided to go to local store to see it only they did not have one on display. So I bought it anyway. The machine was slow the first time I started it but once all of the software updates (Windows and Dell), the machine runs very fast. I wish I had done more research on this machine as I have 2 monitors but this machine only supports 1 monitor using a DVI connection. Both of my monitors support Display Port and HDMI. I had to buy an additional cable in order to connect 1 of my monitors.

    I didnt want to build my own computer because i didnt have the time or the motivation to do all the work, so i bought this beast. Im glad i did because lemme tell ya, this thing is freaking awesome. I had a ASUS ROG g752 and it would always freeze and do weird stuff, but with this computer, ive never lagged, froze, or any of that trash This is so worth the money

    I had been looking into buying a gaming computer for a couple years and this one by far beat any others I had considered. I have been playing games like Witcher 3 and Grand Theft Auto 5 on their highest graphic settings and haven't experienced any problems. The ONLY negative thing I can say about this computer is that the price of this thing when it's not Cyber Monday is ridiculously expensive.

    I'm no Caitlyn Jenner...

    ...but I did make the transition from console to PC finally! As a young lad, I always felt a connection to my parents PC. Something about it just felt so right and so natural. As I grew up, I began to follow the tech that my friends were into so that I would fit in. This consisted of every console from Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. Now before you jump to conclusions here, I'm still proud to identify myself as a console gamer. However, technology advances much quicker than every 6-7 years in which new consoles are released. I started to question so much about my life choices leading up to this PC purchase and could only start to ponder strange thoughts like -- "why did it take me this long to cross over?" -- "what's on the other side of the road that a chicken must cross over and get? A PC perhaps?" -- "who had a better cross over, Allen Iverson or Caitlyn Jenner?" ...Obviously Allen Iverson, but none the less, I stand here before you today proud to wave my flag as a new owner of this PC.

    Didn't want to go through the process of building a pc but wanted something that had some power behind it. For the price this is a great deal. I like having sub ports and this has plenty. It loads up very fast. I like the 2tb hd which is perfect for the price point. An ssd would be nice but then you go up another $200. I'm running a quad monitor setup gaming at maxed out settings across 3 curved monitors and have no frame rate issues. For a pre built it's a great buy.

    I purchased the Aurora R6 and I'm satisfied for what I paid for. Though there could be some areas for improvement. For example, the PSU is only up to 460W and contains 1 GPU. An option for upgrade could have been available and an option on additional GPU as well. I still paid less for this one. So,overall I will give a 4/5.

    I didn't feel like building a desktop from bottom to top since some parts are pricey. Got this desktop since it lets me upgrade parts whenever I want/have the ability and performs pretty good overall too.
