Hello All
I am looking to upgrade my PC and am a little unsure of what I need and if it will be compatible with everything else inside my comp. I have some general knowledge but not enough to feel confident in my choices. I will start by listing my specs and then go into what i am looking to upgrade with. I purchased an Alienware maybe 5-7 Years ago and have not upgraded since I will also be inside the Alienware shell so hopefully that doesnt cause any problems.
