[Echo]

Id like to know a few good web sites i can go to to learn and buy (in the future) a computer..I am a gamer and sometimes have my comp on for 15 hours a day. I have recently heard about something called sli for the future of the computer and am intersted in learning about it.

You get your on case and power supply, just make sure you get a 500w or more
with out a case and power supply it is
$2824.00
An Alienware with all that would be like $5000.00
You will also need to get dvd-rom drives and cd drives
and a OS.
At then end it will be about $3500

Talk about overkill. My computer costs a fraction of the price of that, and can play all the games I play well. The funny thing is that computer you listed, in a year or two, will probably be a fraction of the price too. Unless you MUST have the best (and you're rich), I'd settle for something a bit less extreme.

If you don't know what SLI is, you probably don't need it.

Google is a good way to research all of your questions.

alienware is for gamers who know nothing about computers. people who know things about computers make their own.
