That Alienware costs over $10,000.
It is very good, but you can keep it just as good, at only paying down to $4,000.
I see you did choose the highest option for each choice in the customizing one. So that is just Cost-Hungry options on most of them.
Lower RAM would be fine, that processor will just overheat your laptop since the fan usually pops after some gaming with it. The 2GB Video Card is actually Pointless, even though that is the BEST card out on the market now, no game will need more than a 1GB, let alone 512mb.
Too much Hard Drive, maybe shoot for a Solid State or 10,000 RPM Driver. Blu0Ray Burner not necessary, so kind of monoey hungry.
That is all I can think of.
