Finally decided to just buy a whole new rig, when i bought this rig i figured it would last me atleast 3 years but its been almost a year and a half and its just not cutting it anymore, so this time im going to go all out and get the best possible. just need a little help. i was looking at alienware but everyone i talk to says your just paying for brand name, so ima list the components and see what u guys think.
