Hello everyone this will be my first build and I need some help and input.
I would add a list of parts that I would like but I have very little experience when it comes to what parts are good and what GPU fits in a motherboard ect...or what ram is compatible...As you see I have very little knowledge
A little about what I want and what I have...
This rig will mainly be used to game and browse the internet...I play a lot of League of Legends, but I also like to play the new games that are more demanding.
I had an Alienware m14x, and when I first got it I was happy with it, since I needed to move from place to place, but now I'm back home and this thing gets to hot, and can't really keep up with some newer games, it can run them..but the fps are horrid..
I have a Hyper X SSD 120GB
I also have the Sony Playstation 3D display which is 24" which I use for the PS3/XBox360, but this will do until I can get a monitor.
And a LiteON iHas drive.
I was going to buy the Alienware X51 which would cost me $1200.00 with these specs..
3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3770 (8M Cache, up to 3.4 GHz)
Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64Bit, English
8GB2 Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz
2TB Serial ATA 3 Hard Drive
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660 1.5GB GDDR5
but I was told to come here, and get some input from the community and what I can do with that money...
The reason I wanted to get the Alienware was because I'm a complete noob to building a rig and didn't want to mess up anything.
I also would like to go with an Nvidia cards because I'm already use to them, but I'm willing to look at the AMD cards.
Thanks for reading my wall of text, and helping.
