Ok first off yes I was stupid enough to purchase an alienware aurora four years ago. Now that I am no longer an idiot I would prefer to build my own PC but to save money I would like to just replace the older parts in my alienware and keep the things that dont need to be replaced.
I already have a GTX 970 and 8GB of RAM so I dont need to replace those, what I do need is a new CPU since my aging i7 920 has for the most part seen its days. I cant upgrade my cpu though until I get a new motherboard that will support a new chip. I am just not sure if it is possible to replace my alienware motherboard with a newer 3rd party mobo. Along with that I would like to purchase a new PSU along with getting the new mobo and cpu. I am just not quite sure if I can realistically do this to my pc or if I will just have to settle with spending the money and building a new pc.
