Hey there,

So, Christmas is coming up and I desperately need a new gaming PC. Right now I'm looking at either a:

Alienware X51 With:

Intel i5 4440 (up to 3.3GHz W/ Turbo Boost)
1TB 7,200 RPM Drive W/ 64 MB of Cache
GTX 760ti W/ 2 GB of GDDR5 VRam
Windows 7/8]

OR

Asus G10 With:

1TB 7,200 Rpm Drive
Intel i7 4770 (3.4 GHz)
GTX 760 W/ 2GB of GDDR5 VRam
Windows 8
Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883220405

So, What I want to know is which should I choose? They are both the same exact price. If you guys know of something better for the same price point, tell me! Oh, I will be playing Black Ops 2, Call of Duty Ghosts, Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed 4, Minecraft, and Crysis 3.

Thanks in advance,

Colin
