Hey everyone. I am currently using a very dated Alienware x17 laptop.
I can no longer run WoW without wanting to break everything within reach.
I can still run D3 but on the lowest of settings and still I skip around when in groups.

My budget is 1200 that includes everything - monitor, keyboard.. ect
give or take a few 100. Preferably 1200 though.

I simply want this computer to be able to handle both said games at the highest of settings.
As far as internet, music, other programs like word or powerpoint. Not really a concern as I can use my mac laptop for those things.

Basically Im asking that someone builds me the strongest possible PC for gaming aspects I don't need the other cluttered programs that come with most standard laptops/pcs
So like if intel 3 will do everything gaming wise, choose that and not Intel 7.
I don't know many specifics so that could probably be a wrong example, but hopefully you understand what I mean.

If you have any questions, please feel free to post or PM.

Thank you in advance.

Budget:
More specific use (what games, what programs):
Planned time until purchase:
Do you need an Operating System?:
Do you have any specific preferred components?:
Do you need a sound or wireless card?:
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?:
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?:
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs):

Fill that out, or at least the parts you haven't answered.

The sound card answer isn't sarcasm, and the ummms are cause I don't know.

unless your doing studio work or have 300$ headphones u don't need a sund card.
you will need an OS though if you don't have windows on disk with a key.
I'd say stock for you as you don't know about OC can always get a cooler later.

Pre-Built PC Cost WAY MORE than Buying parts seperately and then Paying A Computer Shop that will Put it All together And Build your Custom made Computer for A Far CHEAPER PRICE for the EXACT SAME EQUIPMENT as ANY Pre-Built PC Like Alienware.

why did you post this useless shit?
OP never claimed he could not assemble it and no one here even suggests prebuilts.
go raise your post count elsewhere.

oh and let us know if size of case matters or if you care if the parts colour matches vs performance.
