Can you link an Alienware build you want us to figure out the motherboard and RAM for?

 

Or can we just recommend good motherboards and RAM regardless?  Cuz most people don't care what Alienware uses.

Alienware makes their own weird motherboards, and they aren't particularly good.

Alienware is now part of Dell. There are Alienware things sold on Amazon but Alienware doesn't have an Amazon representative store. Dell uses basic OEM mass made motherboards and parts from other manufacturers that are made to order to their cost cutting, case specific requirements with bulk orders.

 

I think Dell stuff is shit tier (except the 3090 of whatever GPU they made, that one's surprisingly decent I hear). If you told me, the person who wants to buy your computer that you specifically put Dell made parts it, it'd be a negative in my eyes.

They use non standard Dell crap, don't touch any of this except the Dell GPU that are okay

I thought it would be great considering alienware is a expensive and reliable brand I read on redit about brand loyalty but Idk I usually was a msi fan but was disappointed in the lack of technology it had compared to the alienware tech

So yes im looking for pc components that are new tech

How about you tell us what your budget is, what you are using the PC for, where you're located etc?  Then we can help build a quality machine together.

 

Cuz comparing MSI and Alienware is weird, like comparing Toyota and Ford.  Way too broad, and kind of inaccurate.

You'll need to use the reply button to notify people that you'd responded as most of us don't automatically follow threads and therefore won't get a ping.

Alienware is expensive because of the brand name and the customers that brand name pulls in, not because the computers they make are good or have better parts. As for MSI, meh, they make some good stuff, they make some bad stuff, just like every brand. Brand loyalty is almost always a good way to get scammed by the brand you were loyal to, and it is always better to look at all your options every time you shop.

Laptop or Desktop?

What is the budget?

What nation you are shopping in?

What do you want the computer to do? Gaming? Which Games? Streaming? Video Editing? What Resolutions? ect.

Pre-built or Self Assembly?

 

The more detail you give here the better the deal we'll find you.

Gaming using meta quest 3 vr I posted something on another thread on on this website I’m looking for a system to handle Skyrim with the Novus mod pack. That’s heavy on VRam and something to challenge city skylines 2 but they have responded to me greatly that city skylines 2 has some buggy stuff with graphics and performance they got me a nice build that I can buy, but I don’t trust the brand for the GPU. But I would really like to know is what is a nice build like an alien way or a bit better with a budget of US$2000

Well the long and the short of pre-builts is that any pre-built you buy is going to give worse performance and parts for the price than a system you build yourself. Furthermore, my recommendation would be to steer clear of alienware altogether, they have an awful track record in LTT's secret shopper series. If you absolutely don't want to build a PC yourself, then consider IBuyPower or Maingear or NZXT, but if you can build it yourself, you should.

As for the build you got in the other thread, (PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XVrCfy) it probably wouldn't be my choice but not because of the GPU brand, Zotac have been in the GPU game a long time and their of decent quality.

 

My complaint would be the 9700X which looks like a bad deal with the X3D chips only a few weeks when the X3D chips get released. Do you need the computer now, or is this an upgrade that can wait a few weeks?

You're going to need to clarify that X3D comment for the 9000 series

 

A few weeks away?  It's not even been announced yet as far as I can tell?

Its ok to compare them its just different brands like example amd and nvidia are different in terms of quality and performance or something like amd quality is worse than nvidia there is benchmarks on sorta simulator gpu power and amd cant handle high graphics well I saw

Compare it to gaming laptop don’t you think its the motherboard is the same of a msi gaming laptop to a computer dell brand alienware motherboard? In a way of quality obviously they have different differences but that point of shi tier is in the gaming laptops too?

Oh fair point I was slightly out of the loop here and google gave me bad info

Yeah, no. It really isn't that simple, not at all. AMDs best card isn't as powerful as Nvidia's best card, but elsewhere on the ladder they both have many decent offers at different price brackets. You can compare a 4080 and a 7800XT, but you can't compare Nvidia with AMD accross the board as the comparison changes depending on the price tier.

Then you should ask again in 2 months, the market will have changed so much by then that any answer we give you now will have become awful advice.

 

Also, both MSI and Zotac GPUs are third party cards. MSI don't design their own GPUs, they just slap a cooler and an overclock on it. A Zotac card would (IMO) be just as good as a MSI one.

Can you rewrite this part, I don't follow what you mean.

But we can build a PC out of MANY MANY brands and models, so if you want to compare against a SPECIFIC Alienware model.. sure.  But we don't even say any single brand is good or bad for components, as they all produce a broad range of quality.  Even EVGA.

 

So AMD quality being worse on some "sorta simulator" what the hell?

 

Okay, if you want to argue specifics, sure.  If you want to just generalize and "my mom's friend heard" something.,... no thanks.

The simulator being a benchmark sorry my bad but yes think it was a test linus did a while back I think with red dead redemption
