Alienware

Can this run ark? http://www.dell.com/uk/p/alienware-alpha-r2-desktop/pd?oc=d00asm210&model_id=alienware-alpha-r2-desktop
I don't mind a bit of lag.

Yes. But you would be better served in this game with more RAM, and see if they can do better than a GTX960.

with this overpriced office-laptop you could play ARK at lowest settings at 720p.

I'm really on a quite low budget and as soon as I found this it seemed affordable. Would the gameplay atleast be playable and graphics ok?

He's right. It's basically a laptop with no keyboard, or monitor.

Don't buy alienware...

Dont play games on laptops.... You will be disappointed

You could build yourself a cheap gaming PC for that money. Then upgrade it overtime once you can afford to.

then you have a problem. there are no cheap "gaming" laptops.
a laptop which could play ARK at medium settings at 1080p is around 1200€.
and alienware will bill you always 200-300 bucks alone for the brand on top of this

Yes. Join Tom's Hardware, and ask if they can set you up a PC Parts Picker list. Just tell them your budget.

If you get Alienware, you're paying a premium for a name that doesn't really even exist anymore. (thanks, Dell)

so basically building my own monitor? Would a budget of 600 BP be ok?

Yeah tbh your better off not buying alienware, your essentially paying for the name and a crappy computer.

Build your own computer its as easy as putting a puzzle together. It sounds intimidating at first, but you literally look at a book, and connect this piece to that.

are you just basically putting parts into a box? And then connect that to a normal computer or to or whatever with a keyboard and mouse

[Acandri]

this would be a laptop for medium settings at 720p:

this would be a desktop for medium settings at 1080p:
http://www.one.de/shop/product_info.php?cPath=373&products_id=8851

but this weak is the release of the ne RX 480 card from AMD with the gamingpower of a gtx 980 and a pricetag of ~250€.

Huh? lol.

OP, you are building the computer. You connect a monitor and keyboard to it, and play games.

If you were looking at the small computer in the OP, I take it you have a monitor and keyboard already, because that one doesn't come with them.

So, what is your budget for JUST the computer?

[SLAIN]

Essentially you buy a, Motherboard, CPU, GPU, PSU, 8 gigs of ram (MINIMUM), a tower case, a cd drive, keyboard, mouse, monitor. And a windows operating system.(or whatever you choose)

Bam you look at the books that come with each part, connect each piece, by looking at the pictures (It shows you how to connect it)

You just built yourself a tower. Connect the monitor, keyboard, mouse. Boom now your playing games in no time.

The currency I use is the British pounds. So I don't know what the price would be for me. I'm assuming it's less but because we've left the eu our money is having problems so I don't know.
