I have to say, I love this forum. I made my first post here more than a decade ago, asking for advice about the first gaming computer I bought for myself, and after all this time this community is still here, as valuable as ever. Hopefully, this will be my last gaming computer.
I'm not in the USA; here, part sellers are often unreliable and likely to sell defective pieces, so my safest option is to buy from a big manufacturer. The one with the best warranty around here is Dell, so I usually buy from them. They (and everyone else, to be honest) have few options, though.
My current computer is:
XPS 8920
Right now, the best thing I could get from Dell would be:
Alienware Aurora
Answering questions from the sticky:
1. What YOUR PC will be used for.
Gaming, and working. My work is very bare-bones, I just neee Microsoft Office for it.
2. What YOUR budget is.
Whatever, I'm not in the USA, and currency conversion between there and here is insane. The issue is not really how much money I have, rather what's available here.
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
Brazil.
4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from.
Dell: https://www.dell.com/pt-br/shop/com...Q..*_gs*Nw..&dclid=CNz42Nn7044DFSgaBwYd0KgOEQ
5. IF YOU have a brand preference.
I don't really care.
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
Nope.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
Default speeds.
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
Just 1.900x1.200.
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Now.
10. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
Windows.
Thank you for all your help!
