Quick Question on buying a PC

[admin89]

I think you should get the i3 4170T version then upgrade to i7 later

On Amazon, the i7 4785T version cost 350$ more and that i7 is still slower than most i7 out there
You can get i7 4790S for $330, maximum turbo speed = 4.0GHz which is very fast . i7 4790S is low power CPU , it should work with that Alienware Alpha

A certain Alienware Alpha owner Wrote:Stock i3-4130T
Idle temp: 40-50 degrees
Prime95 load temp: 67-78 degrees

i5-4440S
Idle temp: 55-65
Prime95 load temp: 72-84

i7-4790S
idle temp: 61-68 degrees
Prime95 load temp: 76-86 degrees

Edit : You can also buy the i3 4130T version which is slightly cheaper than the i3 4170T version
