DO NOT BUY ALIENWARE.
They're overpriced as hell, and they've gone downhill ever since they were bought out by Dell. You're paying for the name. You can get a system of the same specs for far cheaper if you build it yourself. It's not difficult.
If you can't build it yourself, and absolutely HAVE to have a pre-built system, then check out Falcon Nortwest, Ibuypower, or even newegg has pre-built systems. You'll save money and headaches in the longrun.

As n4n0 said. Alienware computers run high because they tend to only put in good CPU's. Everything else in a Alienware build are tacky as shit. Buy a prebuilt PC from Newegg. Or just build yourself one and save like $500 lol.
You looking for someone to help you find the parts, or to physically build it for you?
Will you want it to include your peripherals? Such as a monitor, mouse, keyboard..?
Or just a tower..?
If just a tower, I'd go with a motherboard you can overclock with. Probably an I5 3570K and boost that to 4.5ghz, then maybe a GTX 690 or single 780. Onboard sound, and a 1200W psu.

I think I made a slight mistake in my last post.

You'll understand your computer better and gain alot of knowledge buying yourself.
Serious, its like adult legos. Not rocket science.

I suggest you purchase off of Newegg, do it yourself if you can.
Well Dell has been really good to me for the past 4 years so why not repay them for treating a long time customer good.
A waste of money in my opinion is buying a brand new car as soon as you take it out of the dealership BAM 3,000 dollars lost.

A waste of money would be buying a lambo that has the same old Honda engine that everyone else has in it.
I'm looking for someone to help me find some parts, and then I buy them and build them myself.
