Hello, I am currently living in Japan. I want to buy a gaming computer with a budget 1700$~

I am looking at alienware Area 51, origin PC millennium and Genesis, Digital storm Vanqush 5 and Bolt 3. 

They ate pre build desktops and starts from 1600$~ with good specs. In future I want to upgrade them. I was thinking buying a gaming laptop, but the are so expensive, better get desktop with ability to upgrade in future,  then a laptop.

The second problem is I need to buy them outside if the Japan, because here they are so expensive. 

I was looking who can do international shipping and only alienware on Amazon and Digital Storm do ship world wide. 

I would like to hear your opinion , thank you !

You shouldn't go for Alienware, you're better off by building your own custom built PC and having the parts shipped to you.

Well I did try to build and it was like around 1400$~ 

But I don't really understand in it really well to do by my self, so I am thinking it will be better to get pre build with warenty and then up upgrade it. To build you need time and understand what you are doing, it will be east to pay 200$ more and get finished pc with warranty .

How about you show us the parts list you came up with for 1.4k? Maybe from there we can give you suggestions and what not.

Ok http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Lypj8d. This is my build 

You might want to add an SSD, and maybe a cheaper case (well unless you really love this case a lot, then go ahead with it). Other than that, looks like a great build to me (though the colours don't really match lel).

Oh yes, you can get Windows for cheap on Reddit.

Thank you, I really like to try and build it by my self, but I think I can break something. And to buy them and ship to Japan - that will be a problem, some things don't ship to Japan or shipping will cost more. 

So I think it's better for me to buy an origin pc

Alright then, but you may want to choose other boutique PC builders, Origin PC tends to be a little more expensive. You can also check out the Maingear Vybe.

Oh it's a nice looking pc, can you tell me about ? Like why do you recommend it and etc ? 

Thank you!

Welp, to be frank I don't know much about it. I just went to their site and saw that that is a nice looking midtower machine for the starting base price lel.
