No because you overpaying a lot just for the "name" alienware.
Building your own is much cheaper and you have full control over the parts.

What are the full specs? What motherboard and PSU? If you feel it is a good deal then go for it, it is your money and ultimately your choice. Just keep in mind that most Alienware PCs do not upgrade well because they often use non-industry standard parts that are only available through them.

could you downgrade the gpu and some unnecessary components because I'm just an 11 year who plays minecraft and battlefield 4. I want it to look awesome so I can brag I also want Liquid cooling. I thing I will just buy the Alienware x51
