Hardware Home-build or Pre-built?

[Pokecix]

İm currently thinking of buying an Alienware x51 and its specs r:
3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3770 (8M Cache, up to 3.4 GHz)
Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64Bit, English
8GB2 Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz
1TB SATA 3Gb/s (7,200RPM) 32MB Cache
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660 1.5GB GDDR5

İs it a Good idea to get this comp or building one For under 1100$?(gonna use for gamıng)
The specs must be better with a countable difference tho
Note1100$ includes monitor etc)

you should be able to build a better PC for less
or one close to it for less

if you look around the net for parts

look at this
Build a $600 PC that can play 'next-gen' games

...the link Ryupower provided is just recommending parts to make a computer that's as powerful as the PS4.

Going through Amazon for each of those

280 = processor
50 = ram
75 = HDD
220 = Graphics

=675 without the copy of windows. You might be able to get slightly lower for a few of those (16 gigs of equally fast ram is not a lot more and I am willing to be alienware will have dumped two 4 gig sticks in there) if you go around a lot of sites, look for bundle discounts and maybe drop an extra 20 here and there for something even nicer. It looks pretty respectable as far as the price/performance line goes though (as in you probably will have to drop a fair bit more to do a lot more damage).

330 or so for the case, motherboard and PSU.
Call the case 80 though you could shave a bit off there.
250 left
PSU probably another 80
170 left
That handily does most motherboards (SLI/CrossFire capable boards even though you probably do not want one will likely eat that up) and a DVD drive if you decide you want one of those.

This is still missing windows and system builder versions of various OSes are not the cheapest (over 100 USD) for a proper version and I would be hesitant to throw that cheap a motherboard at your gaming rig. It might still happen though.

Alienware have legendary warranties as well (do check to see how hard it is to act upon if you plan to have this in Turkey) so that might be a perk, alienware (some of their laptops aside) are not all that they once were though and this looks to be something of a "buy it to have the badge" type model. You say you have not built before and if you do not have someone that knows that game with you for ever step of it then it is probably best to not go for it. If they throw in a nice keyboard, mouse or any form of monitor then go them.
Personally I build machines unless I need to fit an office out with them (in which case having someone I can call up, have it all sorted for me and drop it back off is enough of a perk to go for it) but it has not been a "this will get you either a far cheaper or a far higher performance" machine for many years now, the best you can hope for is you know the parts going into it and so you can be sure they are nice (the amount of cheap network cards I have had to replace in Dell machines over the years.....).

As Ryupower said though you do not need to drop a fortune to play things as well or far better than the current consoles. This might change again when the PS4/720 drop as I am not sure whether the Wii U will hold things back here but that is not such a problem as they are not likely to be out and swinging at full capacity for quite some time.

Thanks for reply,Fast.
Im not planning to get PC from my country so no worries abt warranty tho
And big Technology markets like MediaMarkt etc build computer when we give them the parts
So if i do what u said,am i gonna get much better Pc than the one that i told?
I dont wanna waste money if there is not much difference?

My English is not that awesome so maybe i missed something u said abt the questions i asked above.
Forgive me abt that

Thx

Err, if you want a future-proof gaming PC (more than 2 years), don't bother right now. Unless you can somehow find an affordable GPU with 8GB GDDR5.

If that's a PS4 reference then worry not - the memory is shared between System Memory, Game Asset Memory and proper VRAM - 2GB on-board VRAM will be fine for a graphics card.
