    Hi ive always wanted a really bomb gaming computer. Ive always loved gaming on the PC but ive always had to settle with the family comp. Well lately ive been planning on saving up for a power machine, one with enough horsepower to run Age of Conan. Dont know much about computers and the technical stuff though, but was wondering if this machine would be enough to run it.

    alienware.com/products/area-51-x58-desktop.aspx?SysCode=PC-A51-X58-WARTIME&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT

    speccs are below the ''tool-free'' tab.

    Age of Conan Speccs:

    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

    Alienware is really overpriced though. You may look at a cheaper solution such as small computer shops near your home.
