I highly reccomend http://www.newegg.com. Some of the best hardware prices around with good service and shipping.

So, I figured, hey, my computer is getting pretty old why not buy a new better one. Do you guys know if the alienware comps are good computers for running high performance games like CIV IV and the Sim II....I dont know much about the technical stuff about comps...Any reply would be a great help, thanks.
California Love said:Ok thank you all....Now one more question....Laptop or Desktop....From Alienware I dont think I would buy a laptop...the one that I would like to get is around 4g but the desktop I would like to get (I built it on there finished at around 2,100....not bad I dont think. What other companies make outstanding laptops (not as uber fast as the desktops obviously, but still pretty damn fast) that dont run up past 3g?...Do you know of any?

The only difference is how much you plan on paying for the brand name. Go to Best Buy, get the $300 emachines, get a top notch video card and some more ram, play Civ 4.
