We’ve gone ahead and done a comparison with Alienware for the first time since Christmas of last year, with some fascinating results outlined below from two builds: The first, a high-range gaming PC and the second an uber-high gaming PC with Core i7 and the works in it.
The savings on offer by shopping with us and building it yourself are massive. And did we mention that we do a free build your own PC class for anyone interested in finding out how to do it themselves? Or we can pass you on to reputable people who will build the machine for you, for a far smaller fee than the €350 – €1,000+ Alienware will charge you for. And yes, we have a 1-year warranty on everything too.
We’ve attached the below table as a PDF for easier reading.
