I have a 3 year old Alienware 11" laptop, currently, that I would like to replace with a small desktop. I was pricing out small form factor gaming pc's at "boutique" gaming sites. Places like Origin PC are extremely pricy and I want to save $$. This will be my first time building a pc from scratch. I am not going to overclock, and I mostly play World of Warcraft and Diablo III, and a few other pc games. They run on my laptop, but I have to keep the settings pretty low.
I need to keep the case small due to space constraints, plus I really like the look of the Silverstone Raven. I want to keep the build around $1500. Here's my current price list. Please let me know if this build is 'doable.'
