Well i have an alienware Desktop.

I need to know what to do. Maybe a guide on showing me what i want and what i can get.

Maybe some pointers. Not be too expensive but have the best stuff.

More like reccomended hardware and whatnot.

I wanna put vista on it too.( so i can play halo2 on it, and sides. better graphics)

my alienware is currently crappy. And there are some minor problems that i wanna fix too.

Any tips or suggestions?

I made my own computer.

I'm just letting you know... once you do it once, you'll know exactly how to do it in the future.

But if you've never done it before, it's MUCH better to have an experienced person do it with you. It's way easy to fuck it up.

And if you don't know what you're doing you risk giving your parts static shocks, rendering them ultimately useless.

i wouldnt try it on an alienware if you havent done it before
you could always start by putting the block speed up and buying a liquid cooler. that would be better for gaming

well the thing is the alienware is a peice of junk cuz not everything works on it. internet problems, BIOS not detected, I cant even restore the computer to its original state.

The alienware is basically worse than a 500 dollar copmuter.

First of all it's always nice if you give us the base lines of your currect system. What motherboard you got? What processor, ram, gpu and then we can point out upgrades.

i've built my own pc. just make sure you buy the parts so that you wont have to upgrade really soon. build off the processor. pick the processor then pick the parts that will support it. sure you'll spend alot of money but later on you wont have to upgrade for a while because your computer will be able to stay with the new programs coming out.
