is this a good gaming computer?

Question

http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-x51/fs
its the one with the i3 can it run games like dayz and minecraft with 60 fps on max

Answer 1

I don't think so, the i3 X51 should run under 60 fps for sure.

Answer 2

The specs are good, I have an old computer with much worse specs and minecraft runs 80-100fps

But Dayz is probably not gonna run on 60 FPS with those specs, maybe 30 I would say

Answer 3

with the nvidia gt640 i doubt it will "max" really any games other then like minecraft and the sims at 1920x1080 lol

idk much about the game dayz, but the nvidia gt640 is a relatively low end graphics card.



alienware are overpriced, you pay for shiny lights and the brand name. (alienware = dell, and dell like any other computer manufacturer, uses the cheapest possible hardware for max profit. so dont think they are "higher quality" or anything....)

both of those computer demolish that alienware....





EDIT: DO NOT LISTEN TO JAMES.... his answer has been reported for spam... he is just spamming HIS OWN ebay computers...



first off you shouldnt buy from ebay for things like computers lol



but those computer ARE NOT gaming computer

-1st one is a slim case, and has NO graphics card, and being slim limits graphics cards to be able to be put in.

-2nd one has a FIRST GENERATION i7 (they suck btw), and an old 5750 (which is an ok mid range card). Its barely better then the alienware... and used....

-3rd one again NO GRAPHICS CARD.



ALL THREE ARE DRASTICALLY OVERPRICED!

he is trying to scam by falsely advertising them as "gaming" computers...



both the newegg computers i linked are FAR FAR better an cheaper then the 2nd one....

Answer 4

Yes, mainly all Alienware laptops are good, it just depends how fast and also what os it uses, it just all depends on the user
