Alienware Alpha (Gaming PC) for $399
- Thread starter HarlemRiverDrive

I'm asking because I can easily get $150 off parts compared to prebuilt just by shopping at Microcenter - no Newegg combos or anything. CPU is an automatic $50 or so off, GPU's in non OEM Boxes are discounted, RAM is like 80% the regular price. I can't recommend that place enough.
Unless there's a good combo deal I don't bother waiting. But if you're not even $100 apart from a prebuilt I don't know what to say.
That guys a liar bruh, lol @ no difference between custom and prebuilt
why do you expect a $400 computer to run anything on maxThis is much weaker than my already to weak to play with witcher 3 on max PC.
I'll pass
Its not bad per se but def gonna be bad very soon. Graphics card is fine but the RAM and the intel version are not very good. If you already got a PC with a good CPU, 6 GB ram.........just buy a graphics card and throw it in there and youre set.
But yo, this whole time I thought you had to buy a wired 360 controller for it to work on PC. Anyone got a link to a good usb adapter for a 360 pad to PC???? Wired tho, not a wireless adapter, fukk batteries.
Tired of struggling with my ps2 controller on PC tryna make it work on all these games brehs

People might sneeze at the CPU but it runs better than the AMD in the same class; even at a dual core it will still run modern games alright. I had a 4130 non T and it held me down on every game.
I only picked up an i5 because work paid me double since they missed a week and I got greedy. But that CPU def isn't ass.

only way a wireless 360 controller will work with a PC is with a wireless adapter (they're pretty cheap). it can only get power via USB
or buy a wired 360 controller
Yeah after I did some research my dream was killed. Not tryna go wireless, gonna end up spending more on batteries in the long run since my 360 rechargeable batteries are fried. Gonna have to just invest in a wired 360 pad eventually. Hard to find when they go on sale tho
Build me a powerful comp and I'll cop off youThis is much weaker than my already to weak to play with witcher 3 on max PC.

Just build something decent for about $500-$600 and have better upgrade paths.
Damn the price. I'd expect a brand new gaming PC to be able to play brand new games at a reasonable level. Even if this was $200 its still not worth it to mewhy do you expect a $400 computer to run anything on max
