Need Help: $1500 Gaming PC

[Midnightjs]

I made a terrible choice for my first PC deciding to just go with an overpriced prebuilt (Alienware) it's lasted me a long time but I think it's time for an upgrade. I'm looking for a PC with a budget of $1500. I would prefer if it was lower but I really want to have this PC to last a good amount of time. Also I have an i7-3770, GTX 960, 2TB Harddrive, and 16GB of ram. Could I use some of that on my next PC or no?

Re-use the case and HDD, format the HDD first though:

If it was the Alienware X-51 don't bother trying to use the case though,

I'd suggest looking at something like this, aslong as you can spare the extra few $

It is an X-51 so I can not re use the case. I have been looking at Corsairs and NZXT's. I will look into the Corsair 460x

it depends what you do with it....gaming? monitor resolution? production?

keep your i7 and ddr3. upgrade over 4Ghz cpu.

He'd still need a new motherboard, psu, case and cooler unfortunately.
