if you can't you can either hit the computer with a 20lb sledgehammer, or get a refund from where you got the computer.

with those specs, you can both play and host a dedi server on the same machine. Though 32gb ram would be better for doing both, you can do both on 16Gb ram very smoothly.

If you haven't bought bought the machine yet, I would recommend against it. Alienware is waaay overpriced. Better off buying those parts yourself and either building it yourself or taking the parts to someone to build it for you. It will cost you at least 30% less

yes it will. It doesn't list a Motherboard, but an MSI Gaming Motherboard or a Gygabyte Motherboard with a socket for the i7 chip are recommended. RoG Motherboards are also good ones, but a bit expensive.

Shop around. Use Amazon, Tiger Direct, and Newegg for your best deals. Sometimes you can find the stuff on sale. I use those, and local Computer Shops. If you get a local computer shop (NEVER places like Best Buy or Walmart) to assemble the computer, you may get your Win10 or Win7 OS for free (They get OS DvDs for new builds only). Even though Win10 is recommended, I have never had an issue with my Win7 systems.

Oh, the socket for the i7 is FCLGA1151
I recommend the 8700k over the 8700 if you can afford it.

Yes it will, and you're already saving money with that one.
If you get that one, keep in mind it's a product that requires a Signature on delivery because of the value and because there is a battery on the montherboard. Also, research Liquid Cooling so you know all about it since that model has it.

There is a battery on the motherboard for the internal clock and ROM so you don't lose the time or your settings if there's a power failure.

Liquid Cool is indeed better than just a heatsink & fan.
That one is worth buying, unless you can find a better deal at Tiger Direct or Newegg. Empyrion will play smoothly on a quad core with 16gb ram and a GPU made in the last few years with at least 4gb vram.
That machine will play most games smoothly

either of those would make a good solid mid plus level gaming system, and your gonna be hard pressed to build much cheaper
i too dont really care for the new dell alienware systems either (they have cheap motherboards and low power supplies) so the ibuy model with an msi mb looks a bit better especially with the 1070ti instead of the base 1070 model on the Alienware - atleast you know what mb the ibuy has :)

as an example my 1070 (base model) system (w/ i7-7700k and 16gb ram) does great at any game ive tried
i can run this game at all ultra settings @1080p no problem but use high-ish settings anyway
i have also run a full server with 3 other people not including myself on it with no issue

Ok thank you I am thinking of buying this pc now for Liquid Cooled for the ibuy do you think its already setup with whatever it Liquid it needs?

[EzRyder]

yes it is ready to plug in and turn on, the liquid coolers are self contained (factory sealed units)

Yes. Won't need mainenance for a while other than normal.
Keep the Radiator & fans clean and free of dust. Just get canned air, or a small battery/plug in air blower. Not a USB powered blower. once a week cleaning the dust out if the computer is in your bedroom, or once a month if in another area that's free of carpets.

To help figure out, I bought my parts in 2016 from Finland at 600-700€. Runs Empyrion smooth on low graphs, but that's fine for me. Runs also some 3D-software really well.

GPU Nvidia GTX 750Ti
Memory 120GB SSD + 1TB Hard Drive
CPU Intel i5 4460
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z97P-D3
PSU Chieftec 650W
Corsair 100R Silent mid tower with 2 intake+ 1 outtake fans

...
Something small I might forget.

Self built, had a couple of friends to help out. Thus the price excludes assembly and OS, which would bump the price by 200€.
