I bought nearly that same PC with a 9700k & in it when it came out. It was ~$2000 at the time just as the Rona was taking off. It was technically an r9. I'm still rocking that CPU in a completely new computer now because it overclocks like a beast. That's a whole lot of PC for $400. Similarly specced r9 and r10 machines are going for $600+ on ebay normally.

[@PenguinTuba]

Yes you can do it at home my first gaming pc I'm using right now is 500 on eBay and it has a Ryzen 5 5600g and a Rx 6600xt.

I’ve been seeing comments about first PCs, so thought I’d share :3 Mine had a Ryzen 5700X, RX6600XT, and 48GB DDR4. Nowadays I have a Ryzen 7600X, RX7800XT, and 32GB DDR5, it’s been a hell of a glow up, especially for a VR rig

[@Pt08020]

Got my first gaming desktop on ebay for $540, ~$600 with shipping after I won the bid. Ryzen 9 5900x, 32gb of quad channel 3200mhz corsair rgb, RX 6750XT, NZXT AIO, 850W PSU. 1TB M.2 and 5TB HDD in total lol. Only bad thing was the side panel shattered during delivery so I rebuilt it in a used Corsair 4000d i got for $40. The previous case was Thermaltake V250. I transferred the fans as well.

[@Pt08020]

Very happy with the performance since I come from gaming laptops in the previous 4 years. No overheating, barely any fan nose, no stutters. Runs most games on ultra smoothly.

[@chumbawumba1959]

Great find! I have built recent and comparable Gaming PCs that provide similar performance, and was approx. $450 for parts (all new). So, at $398, really good deal IMHO.

[@shockcrew5275]

I have a 40 series GPU in a PCIe-3 system. The drawbacks are insignificant. The reverse is similar: the RTX-2080S wouldn't have benefited much if it had a PCIe-4 interface. The only improvement the system needed was the dual channel RAM, but only for specific workloads. PS: Alienware case designs always favor looks instead of airflow, this one seems a bit "crowded". If I had a system like this one I would jump through a few hoops for a case swap.

[@guybomoulton]

in June of 22 my old system was getting too long in the tooth and I snagged a new Aurora R10 for just under $2g. This thing kicks ass with a Ryzen 7 5800x and a 3080. I hear a lot of hate about Alienware and a lot of KZbin reviewers detest them just because they hate Dell. I play every game with Ultra settings and it's been a good system. right around 15800 in Time Spy. What helped was nuking & paving the SSD and reinstalling win11 from a clean image and getting rid of the Dell bloatware though. The RGB is a steady blue now instead of being customizable. Oh well

[@NASAxDRAGZ]

Just to answer some questions in the video, I bought a Alienware aurora r7 a few years ago, I don’t recall what gpu it had come with, but it did have a modular 850w power supply, (still have in my build to this day), a i5-8400, ended up getting a 1080 ti I ran for quite some time, ended up swapping cases, the motherboard is definitely proprietary. I tried to run it in my new build, ended up needing a whole new mother board, & I upgraded cpu aswell. I’m now running 3070 ti / i5-12400f, still same 850w power supply, but it was a solid starting build to get into pcs. I paid $200 for it.

[@wickedsiiip]

You guys should make dual channel RAM the standard on all benchmarks. A single stick of DDR4 is too cheap to not deem a must with these older PCs. It would also be helpful to always address whether or not these Alienwares include proprietary mobos since they are notorious for doing so. Love your guys's channel though you're the go-to budget gaming PC source.

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

I own the Alienware Triad Desktop. They don't make them anymore. I will probably never buy another Alienware tower again as you can't upgrade the internals. The motherboard and the LED controllers can't be modified. I love my case, but I want a Z890 motherboard, 15900k and 5090 with a 1000W PSU. I can't fit ANY OF THAT in this case.

[@KeRmiTaKilla]

6:02 was waiting to tell yall. Yeah this set up with aio comes combo with 1k psu.

[@OrthoDebo]

PLEASE do an upgrade video, would be super entertaining and interesting to see what this can do maxed out

[@milescarter7803]

Alienware is not bad. Just needs one of 2 things: a big hole cut so air can get in and cool it. Or: a new case so the parts can breathe.

[@chriswulfenheim8758]

I don’t know if you guys know, but there’s a Walmart that’s near me in Michigan that is selling pc parts, Intel and ryzen chips, a few graphics cards, motherboards and even ram (DDR4 and 5). No pc cases though. Don’t know if that would be a god video for you guys!

MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner. MSI Afterburner by default will show stats on the software for gpu, and allow overclocking and custom fan curves.

I opened one of my dad's 10-year-old office PC's recently and one of them had that horrendous PSU flip-out design...

[@milescarter7803]

That's because the metal frame inside the Alienware is the same as a Dell office PC. You pay more for the looks and don't even get better thermals. If you can manage to get a fan to move some air back there, or preferably use an AIO you *might* get some performance out of the CPU without it baking. Gamers nexus did a review of an Alienware that had the same PSU layout. It was hilarious.
