Hi guy,
Basically I got a free kinda broken Alienware aurora 7500 that will not turn on.
Instead of fixing it, I was thinking if its possible to have a custom gaming computer built into this thing? I got $316.92 that I can spend. If its possible I was looking for something that would build around the tower and motherboard. I am starting to learn more about PC's so I'm still new at this. Thank you for your time and help.

Pieces I already Have:
Tower: Alienware Aurora 7500 Tower
HDD: Hitachi Ultrastar 1TB HDD 3.0 Sata, 7200RPM
PSU: ThermalTake 750W Power Supply
VideoCard: Gforce 7950 gx2 (Was thinking about replacing or stacking each other. IDK whats best.)

Pieces I need:
What motherboard should I get?
What Ram should I get?
What graphics card should I get?
What Processor should I get?

I see that there are 400$ budget gaming pc builds out there but I'm not sure if the build would fit the aurora tower. thank you again. Much appreciated!

Hi Brandon,
Nice find with the free Aurora tower! To find the components you need, I suggest just doing more research. Also take your time before you buy the components to learn more about computer science. This is important so you know what to buy. Building your own computer will be difficult but im sure you can do it. But about what you should get, its all preference really, your probably trying to use it for gaming, so just do some research on what the aurora came with in the tower. Sorry I dont know much about Alienware products but I do strongly suggest just using components that were already in the tower, unless your trying to boost the comp, in that case just look online
