someone, go find a sight, or something, and make this for me. please.
 
i really just want the beastly ness of this computer, like the graphic card and wlan card, and monitor and stuf, not the alien ware keyboard, and alienware stuff lmao.
 
im very confused, what are you trying to ask

do you want an alienware or not?
 
Take all that stuff you want and customize a computer on newegg.com
 
@reflex- He's wanting a computer like that with all the parts just not for $6000 like it is on alienware. All i can say is build it yourself buy stuff from newegg.com there the best or just looking for a computer there with similar specs usually ones with a GTX295 5970, 5870, I7 core, 6-12gigs ram n so on are only like $2000-$2200 bucks which is way lower then $6000
 
First of all.........you don't need an i7 975 which is $1,000 alone, get an i7 920 and just OC to 4.0ghz, saves money.
Second, you probably dont need 2x5970 either.......its overkill, its sick and absolutely sweet but if your on a tighter budget, just get one of them.
Third, just get a 1 tb drive and like one SSD for performance.
Fourth, get a Cooler Master HAF 932.
Fifth, get a 1000w PSU.

Build from scratch and you will save money while toning down on some components.
 
Yea the i7 975 is a waste of money and actually 1 5970 is already overkill, but not for the future!
 
Here is my build, many of these prices will be different but should only cost you between $1,900-$2,100. I myself got these parts for around $1800 due to savings/etc. This build will be able to max out any game and is "future proof". You can get the HX850 instead and replace the monitor with the Dell UltraSharp U2410, one of the best monitors for 1920x1200.


OVERCLOCKING:
Core i7 to 4.0GHZ and RAM Timings (XMP Profile, just select this option in the BIOS)

Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Crossfire 5870's in the future

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1200

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
Quiet to a degree, can run any game on max settings, and "future proof" meaning adding an additional GPU or replacing CPU

Mouse: Logitech MX518
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104178

Why this one? Because it is an amazing gaming mouse and 1600 dpi if thats what you choose to use is more than enough. This mouse has a very long warranty and you can replace it quickly. But, it's lasted me over 2 years so far and no issues. On the fly sensitivity adjustment is amazing and the side buttons are very nice.

Keyboard: Dell Keyboard (Slim Version, Compact)

Keyboards in FPS games aren't really that important. This keyboard does what a keyboard should do.

Why? Amazing gaming headset, excellent for music, and has a retractable mic so it doesn't get damaged while not in use.

Get this build pretty much except for a few things.

Get this Tuniq Ripper 1000w PSU, i personally have it and its amazing, will power anything and its great. Also only $100 after rebate, i got mine for $70 after rebate but that rebate is long gone.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817611009&Tpk=tuniq ripper

Second, i would get a different Heatsink now since the Prolimatech isn't the best anymore. Get the Noctua NH-D14, its the best air cooler out there as of now and the thing is an absolute beast, its also huge but the HAF 932 will fit it easily.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608018&Tpk=noctua nh-d14
Pick up another Noctua 120mm fan for it and it will be ultimate performance, easily OC i7 920 4.0ghz with good temps probably.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...004&cm_re=noctua_120mm-_-35-608-004-_-Product

Also yea, get a single 5970 for now because when DX11 games start rolling out, it won't be getting as beastly framerates but it will still wreck. This well let you get another 5970 in the future and you will be set for a good while. One 5970 will probably make you set for a good while also but it never hurts to be too careful.
 
so, if you don't want to spend $6,000, what do you want to spend? $4,000? $2,000? $1,500? $1000? $750?

Also, when are you going to purchase the parts?

I'd be happy to help you put together a sick rig for any price, but I need a budget. Also, do you need a monitor and OS?
