What are you using it for? I can already say you won't be utilizing the 64Gb of ram ever. 

[MilfShake]

Why is it so expensive lol?

I think all those component only costs like 75% of the asking price

 

Oh nvm it's an alienware...

... ofc....

, i never see it 75%, i make some build on amazon and yes it's cheaper, BUT i have to build it by my self, and no professionel behind me or any warranty. if it doesn't work i am f`*cked because i know nothing in computer

you could got to Alternate France and use their pc configurator, You pick your parts and they put them together for you and send it.

 

Dell/Alienware is kind of nice equip but well overpriced in my opinion. 

[Uptivuptiz]

I would say that you get 16GB of RAM instead of 64 and i'm a little unsure about hardisk space. Is it enough?

Have you seen Corsair 570X, uses tempered glass, I think this beats any case from any manufacturer

I'm at work so I can't see the link, I think you can cut down on the motherboard and PSU to save money, because they are overkill and too expensive. But I can see if you have a lot of money since you were thinking about buying an alienware.

 

Is the case you choose better than the one I linked, the Corsair 570X?

 

Edit: Ok saw that Gamer Storm case, expensive yet still all steel and plastic...

the 570X used tempered glass, it gives you the premium feel and it's beautiful.

i am confuse because i don't know anything, so i don't know if it's make ton of noise or not, if it's cool well the CPU. but i pref this one :

Boitier PC gamer Gamer Storm Genome ROG Certified Edition

i know it's maybe an "overkill" but i just want to build something and don't want to touch it until 3 years ... (atleast)

 

[Galette]

i also look on other computer like asus or omen (by hp)

not worth it

... ofc....

bro. you get really good warranty support as long as you buy your stuff from good name brands and its super easy to build. honestly its hard to mess up parts these days cause their covered in plastic and metal plating to protect the important stuff. yes 20 years ago parts were easy to break but now a days you can throw most your stuff against a wall and it'll work just fine.

Yeah all parts have 3-5 years warranty from manufacturers

and most parts these day are idiot-proof when it comes to installing

[VijYesH]

I would strongly recommend building your own. It is now much easier and less risky to do so. LinusTechTips videos on youtube will provide you will all the tutorials and everything you need to know. If you order parts from a website like amazon you will get one  year's warrantee of each part. 

I wouldn't recommend more than 32Gb of ram unless you are doing some serious rendering. 

[Andreas Lilja]

Order the parts from PC part picker and have it installed at a local computer shop.

 

Costs like 100$ max and you get labor warranty.

[Alexinhooooo]

Maybe you should assemble it or at least buy the components separately. This is overpriced.
