I am planning on buying a new computer soon (my current is pathetic) and my friend is willing to sell me his alienware x51 for 800$. But I always hear everyone talking about how building a computer is x10 better and alienware rips you off. Well i don't know how to build a computer (even if i watched a tutorial i would still mess something up) and its pretty convenient to just buy it from him. I am not really that picky when it comes to fps in games (former console player) and i would never really need more than 60-90 depending on the game.
I play alot of minecraft, starcraft 2, league of legends, and alot of rts's. I want to be able to play skyrim, dark souls, and others at a reasonable frame rate.
I really don't understand computer talk all that much, so i was just curious if i could buy a prebuilt that's better than the alienware x51, or somehow build my own if i knew how to. Budget is $800-1,000, and i don't need a mouse, keyboard or monitor.
Thanks for the help in advance.
