    Afternoon all,

    I'd like to build an Alienware Alpha type machine, as I like the small stature and Steam catalogue. I currently use an iMac for Adobe Creative Suite and for other work purposes. I'm aware Alienware machines are overpriced and under balanced, so am looking to replicate at lowest cost possible.

    I am relatively computer savvy, but have neither the time or confidence to build myself, so would prefer to have it pre build, and am willing to compensate accordingly.

    1. What is your budget? 500-800

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming - Civ Vi, Silent Hunter 5, Mount and Blade Bannerlord, Doom, Payday 2, etc...

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? Yes

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? No

    5. Do you need a monitor? No - Plan to use my HD TV

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? n/a

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Would need a wireless xbox 260 type controller. Would require wireless internet connectivity.

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? No

    8. How can you pay? Paypal

    9. When are you purchasing? Before Christmas - October/November

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? Yes - Based in Naas area.
