Hey guys I am very new to hardware and know little about computers. From what I was able to learn online I built one on PCPartPicker and had some friends revise it but none of them are very experienced in the field. I was hoping to receive some help from you guys and get a pretty solid gaming pc for cheaper than the average. The only game I really want it to run is Nether which is a very demanding game but I would like to see the game in max settings with no lag. My budget is about 800-900$ US but if I can get one for less that would be awesome. Here is what I have crafted up so far. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3oOF0

Please feel free to edit the list and then post the new and improved build and please if you could tel me what you changed just so I can get an understanding of what my computer will be like.

Main points:
- Needs to run game like Nether, and Arma on high settings with no lag
- My room gets really hot during the day

Thanks again guys and also one last question is what do you think a used Alienware M14x R2 Generation 1 Brand new 500GB hard drive is worth?

Thanks again guys
