Additional Comments: Would like it to be able to be upgradable in the future year or two... Will sacrifice some performance now for parts that will support future tech

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Desktop now is like 7+ years old. Im using a 14" dell laptop to do my solidworks and such for school, as well as game. And one computer isnt cutting it in house anymore. Also, Im wanting to play Guild Wars 2 and laptop wont do it
