Hello,
Years ago I have bought a computer with help from this forum (this post, all the way back in 2011!). The computer is getting old and some parts are breaking, so I would like to replace it, but I'm not sure my options are good enough.
Right now, my best option is to buy a computer from Dell with the following specs:
XPS 8920
Alienware Aurora
1. This computer will be used for work (nothing important) and gaming, hopefully with high settings.
2. Don't worry about budget, we're in different countries and currency conversion is insane.
3. I'm in Brazil.
4. I'm buying everything from Dell. That's mostly because we have tons of unreliable sellers, so I'm paying more for reliability and the warranty.
7. No overclocking.
8. Resolution of 1900x1200
Is it worth upgrading, or would it be better to keep my current computer?
