I'm trying to find a good prebuilt gaming PC and I'm really starting to hate reviews. Every time I find a computer I like, I find a bunch of reviews saying how bad it is. (mastodon.world)

If you like modifying your prebuilt, I recommend against Alienware/Dell. Just changing the loud fans to quieter models causes a warning at each boot. On mine, the power supply, motherboard, and liquid cooler are proprietary and can't be replaced without heavily customizing the chassis. I also had my Alienware rebooting constantly. And it wouldn't sleep. I had them replace it under warranty, but I had the same issue. I also had to have them send me a new WiFi card, as the first one stopped working for no reason. I just had an absolute awful experience with my Alienware. I ended up installing Linux on it and stopped having issues. But the default Windows 11 experience was just abysmal.
