Hey, I have been a console gamer for a long time and have been thinking about buying a new pc to use for gaming. I was looking at the Alienware X51 but decided to see if I could possibly build a computer for less than what I would spend on that. The price on the model I was planning on buying was $850. I have already decided on a case to use, it is a NZXT Phantom ATX full tower which I chose so that I have plenty of space for upgrading later and it has 4 included fans and 7 possible it costs $120. I don't know very much about computer parts and may be having one of my friends help me build it later just in case I can't figure it out. It doesn't need to be able to play all games at max settings but I would prefer that it had an HDMI output. Hyperthreading would be nice since I am going to college next year and am planning on taking Photoshop or Video editing but it isn't a neccesity. Before I start making purchases I am using a website to make sure that everything is compatible and to see the total price. It is okay if the price is a little over but preferably not too much.
