Never have I bought an expensive high end gaming pc but now I'm highly considering one (maybe it's a mid-life crisis ha ha) I've got my eye on this Dell Alienware and I'm wondering if they are any good (and worth the money. I'm thinking my budget is between £2k and £4.5k

If not then any recommendations with different desktop gaming pcs will be very welcome.

Haven't looked at any monitors yet but I will do when I find my ideal Gaming PC.

Thanks for any replies and guidance

Oooook, that review on the Alienware pc made me hesitant to buy it now.

Getting OCUK to build me a pc is very tempting, and I will need a loooot of help as I wouldn't know where to start. The closest I came to building my own pc was many many years ago from Eclipse computers, and that didn't work out well. I wasn't pleased with the outcome.

The games I usually play are games like these.
* The Division 1 & 2
* Red Dead Redemptions
* The new Starfield game hopefully (as I'm super hyped for that.
Basically games like that.
Not really into racing games, and only sports games I play are Madden and NHL.
No streaming and only 1 monitor needed.

Building my own is kinda scary to me ha ha. I wouldn't know where to start, I'm afraid that I'll waste a lot of money and have so many parts lying around doing bugger all. But getting someone else to build it is very intriguing.

I should have just said my price range is £4.5k max (including monitor)
 
Also i've been browsing around on OCUK for monitors and came across this one.

I'm kinda thinking about purchasing this one, but it says pre-order, does anyone know when this will be released, just out of curiosity really as it'll be a while before I even buy a PC.
 
It's not the fact that I don't want to build one, it's the lack of trust and knowledge in knowing I won't **** it up and end up with a pile of uselessness
 
No mate, I'm grateful for all the advice (and criticism). That's why I came on here for help. I did go to another forum before here but I just got laughed out because I didn't know anything. So I though f......flip it, I'll go else where. Glad I did because I found the PC and monitor I wanted on here.

Must be, haven't had anything like that so far, probably the most I've seen was from me moaning about DPD ha ha.

Hopefully it is a good build. My limit was actually 4k, but I seen that and thought sod it, I'll go slightly over as I do like that pc.

Update. Yup, it's being delivered on Tuesday. 3 more gruelling days to wait ha ha

Been delivered and boy, I'm happy with it. Only got a few hours on it though due to work but seems good so far except for one problem, which is with the monitor (Samsung Odyssey G8).
It loses signal from to the pc now and again like for example when trying to log in with another account that isn't set up as the administrator. Goes to a blue screen and says something like "switch on the device connected to HDMI" and has a 60 second timer before the monitor goes to sleep.
Can't seem to fix it. Kinda annoying.

If anyone knows a fix then any help would be very much appreciated. Maybe it's the HDMI cable although it is brand new.
