    Prices are very individual to countries and stores so I can't give you any specific suggestions.

    That second Alienware would be too expensive for you ?

    Do you have a link to that ?

    Hi @kprit98, 

    it should be ok but I would advise against getting an i3. Go for i5 or i7. i3s are known to have heating issues.

    This one sounds fine but I can't give you any guarantees. The  745 should be better than the R7 240 in the computer below. Do you know how many ghz the processor has ? Like the one in the other thread has 3.8 ?
