looking to upgrade the alienware x51 or salvage parts and start with a new case

[lee_92]

im new to gaming pcs and I think my first mistake was getting the x51 as I have heard its too small too upgrade and has too low a power supply I was wondering whats the best parts it can handle? and if its just not good enough what parts would I be able to keep from it so I don't lose out on even more money. its an i3- 2120 3.3 GHz with 6 gb of ram and a 1 tb hard drive don't know if that helps I would be looking to play games like bf4 and all the next gens on ultra so im just looking for the best/cheapest way to upgrade thanks in advance to anyone who can help

First off, there will be no 'Next Gen's'. This is a load of spam that means nothing. Any desktop gaming pc will handle any game that comes out for the new consoles without breaking a sweat. 2nd off, try to sell your laptop whole for half what you paid. 3rdly, you want something i5 powered to rinse the games you mention. About £450 , or 650 $ worth. If you just want to use the parts you have , a 2120 will struggle, as it is knocking on and only goes about 3800 cpu marks. It would be ok at mid settings tho.

its not a laptop its a desktop just quite a small one and I just meant those types of games like the new ones of 2014 and so on
