You can play poker on it. That pc is meant to play poker on.

And poker is a card game where you deal with money.

And no this wouldn't work as a gaming pc. The graphics card would bottleneck it all.

So i recommend you just build your own pc.

Replace the Italicized text with your answer.

What is this computer going to be used for?
List what you will be doing with your computer.
What is your budget?
Include amount and currency.
Where do you live? If in the US, do you have a nearby Microcenter?
Your country lets us know what sites you can order from. If you have a nearby Microcenter they have some great in-store only deals that you can take advantage of.
What is included in the budget?
Things like the tower, the OS, peripherals and monitors.
Will you be overclocking?
Overclocking will require different hardware than a non-overclocking build so we need to know this.
Will you be reusing any parts?
If you are reusing parts list them here.
What OS do you want?
Say which OS you want or say if you already have a copy of one.
Any specific case preferences?
Size, color, etc.
Any other special features that you want in the build?
Stuff like an SSD, large hard drive, RAID, and wifi

Also you wont screw anything up as long as you dont do something reallt stupid, such as glueing your heat sink to your cpu or static shock (just ground yourself to your case or buy one of them fanceh hand straps for 10$)

This would play any game on ultra. But wouldn't be that good for video editing because of the i5.

I agree with you guys, I would have no problem building one and I want to build one more than anything but my parents are strict and when they say I can't build one, that means I can't.

Have you asked if you could buy the parts then take them to a shop where a pro could assemble it?

Have you explained all of the benefits of building your computer to your parents? Have you told them how easy it is by showing them videos on how to do it? If they still won't let you build go with Rice's idea and bring it to a local computer shop and have them put it together for you.

To save you time, just grab this: http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-auro ... redir=true

• Don't have to build it.
• Really fast (by the look of the specs.)
• About half budget
• Perfect for gaming!

I don't have one, but it seemed pretty good!

I7 with only 8gb of ram? All the stuff you would use an i7 for would probaly go better with 16.

Agreed, but it's easier to just leave it be then it is to mod it. I would do it, if I had it, but since this guy's parents don't want him building a pc, they probably wouldn't favor replacing memory.

Completely horrible. Alienwares are never good prebuilts. An r7 290 in a 1500$ computer? those go in 700$ computers. You should have at least a GTX 780/r9 290 in a 1500$ build.

Anyways a threw together a few builds for you.
Insanely overkill for anything below 1440p or 3x1080p. If you want to game at 4K while recording and/or live-streaming, then edit videos/other intense stuff this is something that can do that. You can do some pretty good overclocking as well with this.

Here is something more realistic. It will max out pretty much every game at 1080p and can record/live-stream as well as edit videos quite well.

If you can't build a pc, alienware is the next best thing, according to specs. Of course, if you could build a pc, you should.

Alienware really isnt the next best thing, they cost much more than they should and there are better companies with better specs for less
