Business or Gaming PC? Or Both in One?

Today, a great many people get confused over business PCs versus a gaming PC system. The business person wants a higher quality, more reliable PC than what they can buy at the local big box retail store. The gamer usually knows what he wants and understands that you don’t get a quality gaming system at a big box retail store. The gamers are usually much more intelligent when it comes to buying quality gaming PCs. The business person believes too much in what he reads from the manufacturer. But can you get both a gaming PC and a business PC in one unit? Sure you can and as a matter of fact a quality Gaming PC makes for a superlative business PC. Let me explain.
For you business people out there who want a high quality, fast PC, something very reliable, something that will last for more than a year, something you can upgrade with the latest operating system and still be reliable, well we have good answers for you. First, if you don’t play video games on your PC then buy a quality gaming PC without the graphic card. It’s that simple. Well maybe not, especially if you buy a gaming PC from an inferior manufacturer and they do dominate the market. So be careful in what you buy. Most gaming PC manufacturers don’t make quality high performance gaming PCs. You need to understand that most these manufacturers are trying to make a few dollars off of you. So, they put in a few good parts and then a few poor parts. It makes for an OK machine but the reliability, quality and performance is not there. Your best bet is to buy a gaming PC through a reputable boutique gaming pc manufacturer. They allow for greater flexibility in design and normally offer tier one quality components. The graphic card will be offered but you don’t have to buy it and the company will still sell it to you, trust me. You will pay a little more up front but your time on the PC will be greatly enhanced. Most of these boutique shops know computer design. They understand the inter-relationships between the hardware parts (for example, you need a good motherboard to handle a fast processor) and the hardware parts and the software. Thus they can build very good quality products, as opposed to mass produced PCs. Be aware, buying a gaming PC from a boutique shop usually takes 2-4 weeks to build. They normally build them as they get ordered. A major plus for you because you know you are getting a “fresh” PC with all the latest drivers for your unit. Have you ever brought home a PC from the store to find out you have to download all the newest drivers for it for the next 12 hours? Sounds like a lot of effort went into that one, huh? A gaming PC, without the graphic card, makes for one hot and reliable business PC.
Second, if you are in the market for a business PC and play video games , then you definitely can use a PC gaming system. Again from a reputable manufacturer and everything I said above still holds true. A quality well designed and built gaming PC system will blow you away when it comes to playing your video games. When it comes to your business applications you will have a stellar performer. You will have system that will breeze through office applications. If your business applications are more intense like a photoshop type app, a web builder app or other graphic based apps, your gaming pc will blow them away. Again the caveat is you must buy a high quality well built Gaming PC from a reputable boutique manufacturer. These guys make sure the components fit and work together and that is the big key to a satisfied user experience. The only thing you need to do is explain the cool graphics painted on the PC to your boss! Good luck and play well!

@Cr34t1v3x Yeah its obvious it will be more expensive in Europe countries. I havent checked the prices here but its around 5000-6000$. For that money you could get a car + a good enough PC to run most games on max…. or this Alienware. I know what i would pick x)
@99BikeFag In norway it costs about 6400$.. -.-”
it may be expensive but come you gotta admit it that case is sweet
@G4M3RH4V3N Rofl @ U 2000$ for some multicoloured leds sucka my pc is worth half this and it is as fast
@G4M3RH4V3N /sarcasm SO WE CANZ LIEK COPY DER SPECS AND SHIZZ /seriousness yeah srsly brag about your custom built overrated pc but alienware will always look (and run) bettr.
Can I play Microsoft Flight Simulator with it? LOL!
dear satan
i will give you my neighburs soul for this
lolz
hmm… 6gb ram is not very much anymore (now 12 gb’s is very much i think)
@99BikeFag only dumbass 6 years old kids who play maplestory would say that..
and flager, the only time im sad im jewish..
@99BikeFag ok then, make me one…i can pay big…
@99BikeFag Though, a giant bonus is the bragging rights that come with it, you don’t get Bragging Rights from a self-made computer.
the case sure is nice, but nothing can beat Cooler Master’s HAF X
Oh and im no PC specialist. Nor smart enough to build a PC on my own. But if you do have money to afford this, then go for it. Your money, your choice what your spending it on.
@Carryon871 Your right, not everyone can build a PC like this. But people who DO know what their doing CAN build a PC with same performane as this Alienware. Sure there are risks of fucking shit up but life is all about taking risks and in the end if done right, you’ll be happy with the results and happy cause you didn’t waste 4000$ on an Alienware
@99BikeFag Thats not necessarily true. I love all the noobs running around youtube thinking they are so smart, they can build a pc like this at a cheaper price. You have to realize that you are paying not only for the hardware, but also the peace of mind that the computer you are getting is working right, and the tech support that comes with it. You are taking a big risk when you are building a high end pc on your own. In the end building it on your own, you dont save all that much.
Sweet Baby Jesus…
@MyPyromaniac123 Building computers isnt my first priority you know. I hardly play any games nowadays so it would be useless to waste money on pc parts just to prove a point to idiots. Whatever, if you people have so much money to waste then why not. But dont come crying to me once you realize you couldve gotten a PC with same performance for half of that money.
@99BikeFag I see where you got your account name. I highly doubt that also. Mabye others but you could not beat this one.
@99BikeFag bull shit!! i bet u cant make one. if u can then prove it and make a video on it!!
Overpriced peice of plastic. You can build something much better for a cheaper price.
I wish I had this computer. When I learn how to build a computer, I’m gonna make my own gaming PC.

So dayum…BIG!!! FTW
