I know nothing about PC gaming. All I really wanna do is be able to play Valve games on this thing. Would these specs take care of The Orange Box and the original Half-Life?

Platform »
The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.
Alienware Notebook Specs (Can this play Valve games?)
M11x? From what i heard it can run Mass Effect 2 on high/max settings at above 60fps, not that i've tried it.
Yes, it can definitely run the games you've mentioned. Hell, on the intel graphics card it can run portal, barely.
You also have 8gb there, double mine. It's overkill though. Super mega overkill if all you want is to be able to play valve games.Also, check Tested, they have reviews and videos of it.
Yeah I can play Portal and CS and that fine (some FPS problems) with my shitty ass laptop that can't even play the Sims 2 without slowdown. So yeah, you're good.
I bet you could get a better desktop for the same amount of money you are paying for that rig. I'd highly recommend it too - but that's up to you.
Desktops are much easier to clean and repair as well...

I have had mine for 2 years already - and still do not need to worry about upgrading. But yes you are right - when the time comes it'll be quite simple and I already have a few things in mind.
