What is the best website to get gaming computers?

It depends on your price range. Alienware is one of the big gaming computer websites. There is also digital storm. Depending on your skill level, you could save some money and build it your self. I for one save at least 3-4 hundred dollars by building the computer my self. Also, if you have the money, go with a desktop gaming system. Desktops will be better overall and will greatly out perform their laptop counterparts. Desktops are able to vent heat better then laptops. A laptop dies a slow death because they, over time, will heat them selves to death. For your consideration, liquid cooling is only beneficial if you by a beast of a computer. Otherwise, its not worth your money and can become more of a problem then a benefit. Hopes this helps. -Max
