    Have a look at a building tutorial on YouTube and see, much better value for money. Especially over an Alienware. The i5 one for €1000 is a grand machine, wouldn't recommend the €799 one though.

    That's a serious machine for the money, would do any college work and game at 1080p no issue. Terror might knock a few euro off if you asked him to change the GPU for a weaker one, that's a very capable GPU so for light gaming you could get away with a weaker one. Terror is our local expert here, you'd be in good hands.

    Can't speak for the man and say he will change the GPU but you can ask.
