Hey, I have the possibility of buying an Alienware with a bit of a discount. In short, I'd be getting an i7-4770 proc, GTX 760 (1.5GB - I think it's actually this), 8GB DDR3 RAM @ 1600mhz, 1TB HDD @7200 RPM, various other bits and pieces (windows 7 or 8, 64 bit) in an X51 case, for about €640.

I realise at full price, a lot of people find Alienware to be a terrible waste of money. What is this like in terms of value?

I'd love to build a mini-ITX PC, but if I was going to, would what I get for €650 rival that.
