My gaming hardware expert isn't around (my teenaged son) but IIRC, he used to be of the general opinion that Alienware is overrated and overpriced these days. Not sure who does make a good gaming laptop, though. He was going to build his own gaming desktop at one point but abandoned the project after he kind of lost interest in the whole hardware engineering end of things.
Alienware is manufactured by Dell, so I'd just go for a high-end Dell system. It's pretty much the same anyway, just without the expensive badges and stuff. If you were wanting a desktop, I'd suggest you build your own. It's easy enough to do and fun to do the research.
I have an Asus, can't go wrong with them.
I probably missed the boat on this, but if you're going for full power, a custom rig is the only way to go. Otherwise, Alienware is a little overpriced for the hardware it's giving. You're normal people brands like Lenovo, HP, Asus et cetera have pretty much a relatively good ratio for price : power. If you're not going custom, I highly recommend refurb, they typically have hardware inspected by a technician rather than assembly line, so manufacturer flaws are significantly less common. Plus, cheaper.

And I've only begun fucking with you people.
At the end of the day, it's all math.
Biggest issue with Alienware is hard drive failure. We lease them at work and over half have had a hard drive failure in the past two years. Other than that, they have been excellent machines!
