I thought he was lying, you saved me the time. Fanks.

I am getting a computer with 1070 graphics card, would the alienware be ok or am i better getting the 1440p 144hz G-sync monitor?

Cheapest 1440p 144hz G-sync monitor Link

Cheapest G-sync monitor Link

rather build it myself and pay half the price then stick an alien head on the case, only difference would be that mine would be more reliable.

Bargain, exactly what I'm looking for to run some DOS based games.

I used to like what they used to make... now it's just led's and inflated prices

There not dieing, as people out there love there pcs. i know i know, please just dont go there. voted cold obviosult.

This is a prime example of paying for a brand! Alienware is dying brand and offering bs for top spec money

Hope this might help someone and me......... I bought 32GB RAM for the Alienware. So my brand new 8GB RAM is on flee bay you can search for Item number: 113190128083

Tried speaking with an agent this afternoon: 14:08:06 Radhika B1 Rhys, this is an R4 series. These have now run out and are End Of Life. These are no longer available to order. 14:08:46 Rhys Hi, it is letting me add it to my basket at the £1898 price? 14:09:54 Radhika B1 The order will get cancelled 14:10:25 Rhys oh

What a horrible company. After my dealings wouldnt go near them. Wouldn't be surprised if they made up the whole thing with the end of life rubbish of certain parts. If anything they should honor the sale with an equal replacement. They seem to have loads on the outlet..

Yeah guna leave it.

They have offered me the same one with a better screen at same price as there was something wrong with the screen but I was buying on finance and I have to pay out right for it now if I want it. So unsure what to do to be honest

Probably because you need some serious hardware to run a 3440x1440 or you have to run games in medium to low detail. The 1080 ultra wide is a whole lot easier to hit higher FPS on most standard HW. I have 100hz 1440 and my 1080ti is at 90 to 100% load in games like battlefront 2, Fortnite and Destiny 2 when the settings are on ultra. Hunt showdown is around 70 FPS on high and AC Origins can't hit 100 on high either.

And a GTX1080 isn't doing 120 let alone 160 FPS at 3440x1440 with high or ultra settings. Trust me I upgraded from a 1080 to the TI last year and it still struggles to hit 100fps in some more demanding games. That's with a 7700k clocked at 5ghz and 3600 ddr4 ram.

Same price at Dell UK website. If you are a student, then you can benefit from 15% student discount. So basically £509 after discount.

It is a shame it is 2560x1080 rather than a 1440p. I can't see 1080p looking too good over such a larger screen, even if it means not as much GPU power required.

Depends on your GPU and the game. I have an R390 Nitro 8GB and it can run Shadows of Mordor at 3400 by 1400 on ultra settings at around 55-75 fps so the Freesync works a treat and the games run without tearing or stuttering. You will have to drop the settings on more demanding games but Gsync monitors usually start at 30Hz unlike some of their Freesync counterparts. Also for work the increase in resolution allows for 4 pages side by side with the text crisp and easy to read and ultrawide videos look gorgeous. People are obsessed with high frame rates but it isn't as important with single player and non FPS titles. I'd rather play a title like Skyrim running project ENB and drop the visuals in favour of a higher resolution with a 34 inch panel at this price. Text will be far from crisp on a screen this size at 2560 by 1080. Unfortunately Nvidia owners have to pay a premium monitor manufacturers are being charged to implement their hardware which really isn't fair. Just my thoughts.

Haha, thanks for the image :D

Enjoy your new alien computer...

I received the computer yesterday, and couldn't be happier. There is a small scratch on the right side of the case, but other than that it's immaculate. The Alienware still has the official wrapping on too. Thanks again OP for posting this deal!

I agree. I only have an rx 480 so not a lot of point worrying about which cpu, its all the same as long as its 'enough'. People keep banging on about intel gaming lead but unless you use a 1080 ti its little diff. I dont think 10 nm will be up to much before 2020 and even then I doubt its gonna be 'better' than ryzen 7nm. The lappy chips released so far are slower than 14 nm versions.. Intel have only just hired jim keller,thats how far away they are from a new arch. They are cannibalising the big xeons to combat thread ripper 2, (thats gonna be a loser,they are massive dies). No point upgrading a 6700K for years yet anyway. I like the non K 4770 at £125 ish cos the ram costs £40 for 2x8 (if you can walk into a cex and pick it) and you can get new cheap boards but other than that I would go with ryzen. If you settle on a big 7nm ryzen you will be able to get boards for YEARS.It will be many moons before another jump like that occurs. But we shall see. 1st gen ryzen 1600's go ~115 on ebay, maybe 155 with a b350 board. The 2600 new build is~£30 dearer than the i5 8400 build (but has a decent cooler). Laters.

As a deal hunter whose main use of their computer is gaming I'm in a difficult spot. The 9th gen CPU's are coming out soon (Q2/Q3 2018) which is ridiculous and, like you say, makes the current chipset obsolete and no value for money. At the same time, AMD are still behind in gaming Benchmarks but ahead in almost everything else - 7nm won't be out until next year though. However, Intels 10nm is superior to AMD's 7nm....if they ever manage to release it. Things are a bit too unpredictable either way for me personally to invest in either for the long term. I'm still using my 6700k 3 years later. I honestly think the best bet for a budget builder at this point may be to look backwards rather than forward, going down the Xeon Route or just an older i7 3770k if you can find them cheap enough. That, or build a very cheap "This will do for now" Ryzen 2/Coffee Lake. I don't know why I'm even worrying - I game at 4k so my CPU is almost irrelevant for my frames lol

Pretty sure it just standard 60hz refresh rate..

I got x34a best grand i ever spent

' 'What technologies we need' lol.

Right, I don't think any games/consumer hardware can run games at 4k 144hz, though, at the moment.

Not if you specifically want an ultrawide. 4k is still hard to drive especially at 144hz or 144 FPS.

Mine has also arrived. Surprised at how beautiful TN panels are nowadays. Thanks for the spot OP. Never had G-sync before, it is game changing.

My Screen arrived - absolutely perfect and brand new.... so glad I purchased

Even if you can't hit 240hz it doesn't matter, G-Sync solves screen tearing. You can set it at 144hz if you want but there's no real benefit.

Good luck finding 144+ hz, gsync monitor then for 2 bills... these people..

Wouldnt pay over 2 bills for a 1080p monitor

Blast, missed another good pc offer due to work

Where did you find a wife for the same price as this?

good bit of kit, paid the same last year from dell outlet

The Aurora is insane, weighs a tonne and you can see why you pay the premium.

Ideally anyone buying from the outlet should be knowledgeable about laptops really know the specs they are after. The specs are well laid out to see. Also easy to check if deal is good by looking at ebay dell re-sellers that tend to similar specs slightly cheaper. The inspirons tend to come up cheaper on ebay and you still get the 1yr warranty (but check). The Alienware not so much as I have been hanging around for an AWR3 with GTX1060 for teen

Be aware of the graphics card on some of the Alienware "gaming" laptops too. There were a couple of old - i.e. pre-10.xx series - cards in laptops and the rest of the specs were none too impressive and they wanted about a thousand quid for them. (lol)

It depends which aspects you are looking at. A lot of artists want, well an Apple product, for whatever reason they justify. (Though the given reason normally isn't "all my friends in the trendy wine bar have one" :P. Alienware systems will be heavy and screens will likely be predisposed to speed over colour reproduction. Some aspects of digital art will benefit from the speed and graphics card - a pro graphics card will be better, but probably won't offer you better value with the prices these are up for. As discussed - they are big and heavy compared to some options.

Be aware the ‘generation’ of the processors - some are 6th generation . New laptops are now 8th Gen, 6 th Gen are a few years old now.

I agree with a lot of that. Just sold my 4 year old XPS 15 9530 in preparation. Love the fact it's a laptop not a table top like most others..

I bought one from dell outlet website and I will buy another one again if found for less than haft price and I will sell on eBay. I sent over 40 emails with a lot of pictures and videos to show the issues. They only change parts for “refurbished” parts that isn’t fixed. ( the technician told me) He also told to keep my main board because probably they will send another one with bigger issue. At the start I had a very slight issue (USB PORTS) and they changed the main board 3 times. All of them came with big issue (graphic card). Avoid Alienware. Not only outlet. If they have a lot of pc for sale on outlet website is because the new ones came with issues too and customers send it back.

Any suggestions for 4k display output option , ddr5, ssd, 16 or 32 gb ram with good graphic card looking to spend around 1200 pounds any help please would really apprieciate it

But it's got an AlienWare logo on the cover...

as mentioned above, for this price would expect at least a boot drive ssd and possibly 16gb ram.

From what I understand, you're lucky to have got a fully working one. I've bought two laptops from there and both have had persistent issues. I've heard reports from others with the same experience, too, so it's not just me. To be fair, they did eventually swap them for new units, but it took a few rounds of sending them back and forth.

well worth the £20 on steam, buying extra DLC sucks.

I played the beta of Quake Champions and I just couldn't get into it. It's so damn fast I could hardly control the character. And while it was in a pretty early state when I played it, so it may be different now, but the game just seemed to lack "personality".

'fairly easy', absolute nonsense

this was complete bullshit by the way OP. There is a daily level cap on getting to level 2, so you can't. All keys gone in that time. Couple that with terrible site responsiveness. Also, get this, at one point trying to get to level 2 i had all my ARP points removed. I received an e-mail from alienware saying a post of mine was flagged. The link to the post in question, was a trailer for a game i'd never heard of, posted by another user. What.

All keys gone Waste of time I didn't even earn any points even they I posted a few times, commented. Liked. Etc

Got the r3. Yeh when they first came out there were loads of issues with the placement of the heatsink. They sorted it with the 7700k processors but you have a few that still get the problem. Anything up to about 75 you could class as normal depending on how long you've been using it for. Eventhough the gpu and cpu can handle 100°c it shouldn't go that high. Then after market pastes will always be better than any stock paste that is used by any brand. With the 1 year standard warranty it'll be worth itnjust to get them to come out and check it up. If you do have temp issues then its a call & fix or refund scenario and if its the refund then maybe by that time with the new gen proccessors coming out, the other brands should drop in price too. Check the alienware subreddit, its quite usefull. Aw

did you get the r3 or the r4? Thats my biggest worry is how are they going to cool the processors. I use a cooling pad already for my XPS and hate it which is why i want to upgrade.... Apparently they can hit temps up to 90 before they repaste or come out which must be uncomfortable.

Its quite good so far. Haven't done much other than play fortnite and civilization. I got a cheap cooling pad to use. I need to monitor my temps in game with and without the pad but haven't done it so far. It does heat up if i play civ 6 for like 4/5 hours + on max settings and with fortnite on max settings for a couple of hours straight but not burning hot, hits around 65. I need to set up a temp monitor so i can view the temps in game to get a better reading. The left side seems to heat up more than the rest and I'm not sure if thats to do with the fan being on that side. I might give them a call 6 months in and see if they can check it up. Might as well use the 1 year warranty before it expires. Hopefully it doesn't have heating issues like some others have stated and i don't have to calk them up for any serious issues.

how is it? theve given me a delivery date of 8th may!

Got it delivered today. It was dispatched on the 8th

That was a great deal for dual 1080Ti. Well done.

Hello, I didnt notice any new desktops added at 14:45. I'll keep an eye out at 19:45 and post back if I see anything juicy.

Which codes did you stack and how??? I was told codes can't be stacked, that's what I was looking to do with various available.

What were the stacks?

Got the alienware one last week after stacking a couple of different discounts which equated to 25% off

For gaming? If you're highly competitive then TV's aren't great for the response times and other factors, I also use a TV as a monitor and I just play games casually now so it's not an issue for me to spend that extra amount, but when a decent size with decent specs with the right price come along I'll jump on it.

Cool, at full price that's more than I paid for my monitor, looks decent.

fair enough, I didn't have the money or GPU for 1440p 144hz. I ordered this monitor a few days ago when I spotted it on here for £199. Refresh rate is important to me because I like faster paced games like Rocket League, I hope 1440p 144hz drops down in the next couple years though, I do love graphical games like Far Cry (excited)

Distance to monitor makes it easier to see farther away targets/details is what I meant. You can sit really close to a 24" monitor with high fov, there's a reason no cs pros or anyone uses higher than that screen size

No but I'm using a The AOC AGON AG241QX 1440p 144hz monitor. I don't think I could drop to 1080p for more refresh rate.

Get a Logitech mouse, good sensors and plenty of flexibility with button customisation

I think the Alienware laptops are fugly also

That mouse is U G L Y !!! its mum even shuns it

I do not! (shock)
