Hi, I'm sorry if this is the wrong category. I plan on building a gaming machine that can hold Call of Duty, Need for Speed, and more. But anyway, I've done research on desktops that can do this task. I looked at Best Buy, a worker showed me the HP Pavilion Desktop with the AMD Radeon HD 8570D graphics card. And AMD A-8 series 3.5 GHz. Then I looked at the Alienware X51 i5 series. I'd like to know if the money is worth it (3.30Ghz, and I'm 13 years old, obviously I'm not old enough to have a job, you see my predicament). I'd like the parts that are compatible with the Intel 4440S. Or if I should use AMD. If you can find the info I need or even more, thank you. P.S. I'm new to this site.

You wouldn't mind showing me a monitor would you? I want it to be $75-$90. Preferably with speakers unless you think different. And, is the pc HDMI compatible?

I'll be willing to go up, but not too much.
Will the PC be stronger if we rebuild, and about the HDMI

yea the comp will handle HDMI.

If i redid it, it would be weaker graphics wise, but have a stronger CPU. Right now this will max just about anything at 1080p. If you won't be doing 1080p gaming though, then cutting down to a 760 or 270x along with some other changes will allow for a better CPU.

Don't rebuild, I need strong graphics for Call of Duty and Need for Speed.
You can give the 1080p moniter, and with or without speakers inside it. Whatever you think is best,
