Nice, is it factory overclocked I take it. By how much over stock clocks? No point if it wasn't being an unlocked K. Please do a video encoding test if possible.

[zachsny]

Thank you for the video! Not many good videos on this computer or it's unboxing, so it was nice to stumble upon this one. Appreciate the upload!

[PuppyHer]

I didn't watch your previous videos, maybe you talked about it already, but your videos are somehow extra crispy and color-boosted. Are u adding some kind of sharpness in post process?

[mellonxcollie]

Have you opened up the GPU casing yet? How upgradeable is it? 330 watts seems really lo, especially now that it's available with the GTX 970. If it's watercooled, it doesn't seem out of the question to upgrade the PSU or GPU to one of the upcoming parts from nvidia or AMD, assuming the X51 doesn't use custom sized parts.

Hi damir, I asked you earlier about upgrading to the Geforce 960 graphics card, however i am concerned that the power supply of 330wat is not enough, i also heard you can not increase the power supply on the x51? could i get your opinion?
love the videos as always
thanks <3

[levobossitos]

Hay wie bekomm ich die wasserkühlung da raus?

[danielstapleton]

Does the keyboard come with it if you buy it?

[Shizomis]

wow you have an AMAZING setup, and nice video / channel! subd!

[vamazeyXD]

love how hes struggling and instead of cutting he just rides with it

[chalpua]

Looks like you get these with a 970 now. You can upgrade this one with a 970 now also.

GeForce® GTX 1070 Mini ITX OC will be great to alienware x51 with psu 330w

[johnmatthews]

Not for the gaming review, but Undertale is really good....it isn't graphically intense, pretty much any computer could run it. But the story and the emotions. whew it was incredible

[chickenwing]

for $699, Your version WHERE EVER you live costs hella lot, And he says in the description, the starting price is 849€

that video card does not match the rest of the specs. A 980 gtx or 970 but a 960 and the 2gb.. strange

[samcarver]

I just ordered one today. It has Core i7 6700, GTX 970. I ordered from Dell got it for $1244 tax and shipping included. I added up the parts cost if I were to build a similar one. Just did quick price checks on Amazon but to buy the parts I would have been around $1, 000 or more anyway. I didnt check for all the parts tax, shipping etc but the GPU and CPU alone is $700. That only leaves $500 for everything else. It seems to me it would be hard to build an equivalent comp cheaper enough to justify all the work involved ordering parts and building it.

Thanks for the Review. It was exactly what I was looking for. As a Father and something whom work almost all the time, I am attracted to this. I don't have the time to build a PC or Allocate all the money at once to purchase all the parts. I however abhor Dell as a Company and experienced multiple problems with their products throughout the years with the exception of my 2008 Dell XPS M15 which was awesome. Didn't have any problems with it until I got married and my time as a sailor aboard may have pissed off my wife. ( My photos and Videos ). Anyways, I don't mean to Prattle on. Can you source the External Graphics Unit, the " Graphics Amplifier "? This item/ accessory is the reason why I am Drawn to the X51 R3 vs the ASUS G20 that and Availability. As far as your Videos go.... awesome production quality, yes someone whom actually pays attention to small things as head space and great use of the white desk in the fore ground for advs and annotations. You have a new subscriber.
