Buy your own parts, make sure they are compatible (don't get more than a single video card if your motherboard isn't compatible with multiple cards), then pay a local electronics store to put it together for you IF you don't want to build it yourself. If you do this instead of buying a custom Alienware, you'll probably save 50%. If you look somewhere else online for custom-built PCs you'll still probably save money. Me and two of my friends all payed around 1300$ for our gaming rigs (they purchased from Alienware), and mine performs much better than theirs. I purchased from iBuyPower, but I still recommend buying the parts separately.
In all seriousness, you can compare buying Alienware PCs to buying brand-name clothing. You'll get the same as someone else at a significantly higher price.
Yes, I'm aware this topic has been resolved long ago, but I'd still like to give my advice to any passers-by.
