Alienware R6 - Quite Smooth Monster

I recommend this PC for gaming. I play Oculus Rift games, Second Life and Sansar. The PC runs smoothly without a sound. I have an ASUS that does not run as well. My R6 is big but worth the weight as it runs so well. I like all the USB ports and the available HDMI's. The 1070 Nvidia works like a charm. Don't scrimp on the Nvidia. I shopped online before going to the store to seal the deal.

Have had this computer for about two months. It's a bit more expensive than building your own and didn't come with a monitor, however this thing delivers in terms of performance, runs everything at highest settings without stutter, great gaming PC.

I have not bought a pre-built gaming machine before, always did my own work, I am usually an AMD customer, this is a temporary computer I am using for maybe 6 months to a year until I can build my Ryzen/Vega AMD machine. The air cooling in this machine is interesting, the case is compact and nicely constructed, access to all components is very easy for upgrades. There is a software issue where the cooling sensors are reversed, so if you have one, you should adjust your cooling curves to make sure you are remembering that the CPU temps shown in the software is actually the case temp and the Ambient temp sensor is actually the CPU. Gaming performance is wonderful. If you are interested in upgrading your video card, plan on buying blower style cards to help pull more air out of the case, it seems specifically designed for blower style cards. Front fan cards exhaust air into the case and wind up pushing hot air up to the CPU area making the CPU fan work harder. At full tilt gaming, the machine can get loud, but it does stay cool and I love the innovation the engineers put in to the case.

Great performance in a mid-tower case. Very fast SSD, boots up in 8 seconds. Great that it has SSD and 2.5" 7200rpm hard drive. Very easy to upgrade. Switched out power supply to a 850 watt to support 2nd graphics card.

Definitely in need of this if you are using 4k video editing or uploading videos, downloading videos or doing gaming. Wicked fast speeds it's unbelievable. Extremely hard to overload or jam it up. Best purchase I have ever made. Don't mistake Alienware for strictly gaming PC just bc of the name, it's good for all other uses as well.

Love this new system! It is so fast - about a 5 second boot time - and with Windows 10, highly organized. Loving the efficiency of applications and accessing resources. I know this system was designed for Gamers, which I am not. I use this PC for CAD design work and regular business matters. It is a great fit....love it!

Walked in just researching for a new computer. Luis at the Richmond location is awesome! He showed me what different models after asking what I was using it for.
The computer is awesome. I use it mainly for AutoCAD. It has no problem handling the detailed drawings. Also, hooked up multiple monitors with ease.

I love this thing. Performance for games, video editing and the list goes on. Was fortunate to get it as an open box and save some money but wouldn't have hesitated at full price. Quiet too!!!

This computer is more than what I need for gaming. With the 1070 graphics card I can run any game in ultra mode settings. CSGO I get over 120fps, everything runs so smoothly. This computer matched with a 144hertz monitor is the perfect setup for me. I should be gaming for years to come.

Great speed. Easy to use. I'm not using it to it's potential, but it's nice to know that with it's special cooling features, etc that it could handle anything that I throw at it.
