Depends on if you're looking for a desktop or a laptop.
Alienware and Mac are trash and just cheap name brands to dump money in, not familiar enough with Lenova to answer that though.
Building your own gaming rig is generally cheaper and runs better than a pre-made computer of the same price. Takes some time and research but well worth it.
Building your is much cheaper as long as you find the parts on sale. I'm going to build mine soon and the parts I have would cost 900-1000 vs a custom built bought one costing almost 2000. If you don't know how to build one, ask a local pc repair shop, they would probably build it for a fee (maybe 50-75). Plus you get to pick the parts you want. A very good build is the intel i5-3570k with the gtx670 and the rest of te parts are your choice. Get a motherboard that supports the unlocked So you can overclock it and a 250 gb ssd. Then 8gb of ram(1800 or 2133) and a cheaper liquid cooling system. The case is personal preference but for size a mid tax is enough. This is around $1000 but is a top of the line and can play about any game on ultra settings. My friend has this build and it's very nice. Of course you adjust it. Macs suck for gaming. Alienware is a overpriced dell btw, after they were acquired by dell your paying for brand name.
Thanks for the feedback guys.I really appreciate it:)
Wow,I never thought about building my own computer:D
I got my PC at Cyber Power, in case you were intimidated about building your own. And a word of advice, don't purchase Windows 7, torrent a ripped version that way you don't spend around $100 for a sticker with a CD key printed on it.
Another custom builder is ibuypower. Don't feel intimidated about building your own computer though, as long as you do some research it's easy. If you want to get an estimate go to pcpartpicker.com and the parts are at full price but if you can get some deals then you can possibly cut it by 25%. The best part sellers are newegg and tigerdirect and they have deals all the time. Avoid windows 8! If you can tell me a budget I can link you a good build. If you are scared about building it, inquire at a local pc repair shop, I'm pretty sure they would be willing to build it of you have the parts fr a small fee(cheaper than going to a custom builder like cyber power, ibuypower...)
