So if your just going to buy it to browse the web, photoshop and just little things like that, then you really will just be wasting money on a computer that powerful if you don't plan on actually using some of its features. Alienware meant for games really. Mac's mostly meant for media. All depends on what your going to do with it, but doesn't sound like you have too many plans for it. Sounds to me like you would be fine with like a mac book or something less powerful but still plenty powerful for photoshop and other programs. But just not for gaming. Just depends what your planning to do with it.
thanks man. u really helped me choose which one i want. i think im going with the iMac.
