Is this a good PC?

Hi  

Good machine, not good graphics card....

So no to games highest settings...

All the best Brett  

I would get a different graphics card, you could get a second 7770 and crossfire x

Thanks for the help, guys.

I'll have to look into it some more.

Do you guys have any brand suggetions? I know Alienware is pretty good but overpriced?

I was looking into both desktops and laptops. I'll be going to university after next year and I will need a laptop, but I'm not sure if I want to just buy a good laptop that can play games or buy a good desktop and a very low-end netbook for note taking. I know the Alienware M17x is good, but a bit heavy as well.

what about this for 1350

Wow, that looks really good.
I will definitely take a closer look at this.
Thanks!  

It is a sweet 3.4 ghz caomputer with a 7870 graphics card, I would get it it will fit all your needs for years!!

Build your own.
I5 2500k based with a ssd, large storage drive, and a gtx 670
For the price you are paying for a pre built you could build a badass machine.
Dont get intimidated just research it and build your own you could save hundreds
