Hey everyone. I have an Alienware x51 r2.
i am moving all my parts to a new case and upgrading my GPU, CPU, PSU, and RAM.

Im going with a build that can run arma 3 on ultra or high with good fps.

im going with the gtx 970, i5 4690, and 16 gb ram with a 600 watt PSU.

im staying with the standard motherboard that came with the alienware x51 r2. It has an 1150 LGA socket and an haswell h87 chipset. i do not know the exact name of the motherboard so can someone please tell me if all these parts are compatible without changing my motherboard.

Im also looking for a good cooling unit and case so feel free to recommend anything to help me. Thanks!
 


i have used cpu z to find the motherboard, but it said manufacturer was Alienware and didnt give me a name for the motherboard itself.
