Hey, I have around 1000 dollars and I am looking to upgrade my old desktop. My asus g73 died recently. So I am forced to turn to my old alienware comp from a few years ago. Its not to bad but could use a few upgrades for sure. I am looking to change out the motherboard, video card, RAM, processor, and update the os as well. I do not need a ton of power, I mainly play league, diablo and WoW, but would like to be able to play battlefield 3 to. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
 
Well what hardware does it have at the moment? If you can tell us what it's currently got then we can help you decide on what needs upgrading.
 
Build a computer, don't buy a gaming one. You can learn a lot more from building your own, and have a lot more fun :).

If you have $1000 you may as well start from scratch. Can you tell me exactly what you will be using the computer for?

If he already has a decent/good setup then a grand would buy him some very nice upgrades and possibly leave him with cash.
 
Yeah, $1500 can build a pretty kick cheese set up. He could get $350 out of his Comp, I am guessing, get another $150, build a EPIC setup for $1500. Being that is a few years old, tech advances fast enough that I dont think you should really upgrade it. I am guessing it is running a C2D, or maybe C2Q, some old proccesors. I can whip you up a build. Oh, and BF3 requires a TON of power.
