I just bought this computer online and i wanted to get a second opinion. Will i be able to run games on ultra smoothly such as skyrim/fallout?

Hiya that's the same one I got last year - I love it! Played Skyrim & Witcher 3 - it plays them smoothly no troubles. Screen is pretty small though but you can hook it up to a TV for sure - done that a couple of times

It is a decent laptop. I don't know if it will handle Skyrim/Fallout at 1080p/60fps on ultra though, but it will be close enough honestly.

Avoiding any comments about Alienware costerformance ratio's, it really depends on which of those 4 options you picked...

I'm sorry i edited it up at the top, it's the second one for $1,499. Cost wasn't an issue as my work was paying for it for my anniversary.

Awesome! thank you so much!

It should handle older games fine. Newer games may have to be toned down a bit.

I don't mind toning it down for new games so much i just wanted to make sure the performance was the there.
