Good configuration just trying opting for a SSD for better performance

Solid build outside the no SSD.

There is no price listed though. I am interested in how much you are overpaying by buying an alienware.

I recommend don't buy an alien ware go for a assembled system.
The money you will pay for the alien-ware in the same price you will get a better system

Agreed. Alienware is a rip off for what you get. build one yourself, its better.

Honestly and i7 is not worth it unless you are going to be doing some heavy duty photo or HD video editing. I only do those occasionally and im fine with my i3, and i5 is great for gaming since most games don't even use the cores available in the i7 they are completely useless.
