Q. I'm looking for a great gaming computer, preferably under a grand. Plz note i have no idea what things cost.
A. The BEST gaming computer is the one that has the best hardware for the price. alienware will NEVER EVER be in that category....
You can build you own computer from like http://newegg.com that would stomp any alienware for 1/3 the cost. (i have actually built a close match, had to upgrade some areas, of the $4000 alienware for under $1500).
If you really dont want to build your own, go to http://ibuypower.com or http://cyberpowerpc.com and you can have custom gaming computers built. Its MUCH cheaper then alienware with MUCH more selection.
For that budget you could easily get something like:
core i5-2500 (i wouldnt get the K version unless you plan to overclock)
8gb of ram (you only need 4 really, but i guess 8 will make sure you never have to buy ram again until ddr3 is outdated lol)
1tb hdd 7200rpm 32/64mb cache
AMD 6850/6870/6950 are good choices for graphics cards.
that should easily fall under a $1000 or less budget. and you can easily play any games on max settings @ 1080P resolution.

What kind of gaming computer do I buy?
Q. I need a good computer that will play new games without lag. Also, I need it to be under $1500. Some suggestions for graphics cards would be appreciated too. I don't know much about computers, so I need some help :)

Also get a Kingston SSD because it has exceptional RANDOM read/write meaning you can start multiple applications at the same time in under 5 seconds instead of 60 seconds - It is a Inten X25-M clone for less money but without TRIM firmware.
