Alot of people will say alienware is overpriced, and they may well be, but for the price, you get hellacious performance. If your gonna build your own, definately get a processor with a fast Front Side Bus, 800 or higher. and the more ram the better. Video card, 128 is fine for most applications unless your into serious gaming, and the amount of ram a card has does not always mean its better, Nvidia or Radeon are your best bets.
