i've heard alienwares are pretty good... but waaaaay too expensive for what they offer
it will last at least 2 good years if u ask me then u'll have to upgrade gradually

Well, I remember that one conversation we had, and your PC had and i7 9xx, XFire 5670s, and 6gb RAM. Yours might last another 2 years, but the main bogdown is the video card. Custom build is 1337 btw.

Nothing lasts long in the tech age if you're looking to play games 3 years from now in high settings at your resolution.

If your good with tech then build custom but if your not using alien ware is fine as it saves on hassle and you know it's going to be compatible and covered under warranty.

When considering the life of your computer normally a simple gpu upgrade will keep you gaming on new games, the CPU should last a bit longer especially now as games are just starting to use all four cores.

Not a smart choice.

Alienware computers are built for gaming and clocked higher even phones can surf the internet and download songs. I'm not 100% sure on alienware overclocking and cooling but running anything with higher voltages will decrease lifespan of the computer. A wiser choice would've been to go for a cheap i3 dual core build.
