    yep true , i was looking at the site of dell , and it would cost me 500€ more just because it's alienware then and watercooled and space for a second motherboard and vid card.. but that's to expensive it would cost me 2k then instead of 1.3 =P

    ^ Lets say at Alienware you are paying for the "Cool" O.O Name and a "Cool sticker" on your Case, Nothing more. ;)

    100% NO, one click overclocking is not only unstable but also feeds too much voltage into the CPU/GPU/RAM. You will only end up frying your parts, even with a good cooler.

    You don't need a high end CPU to play games, especially not MMOs.

    Edit: FYI: It is very hard to give any options till you state a budget.

    I don't suggest to use the Overclock button because it always throw a crazy voltage and it almost never stable for more then 1~2 hours.
    the temperatures always Jump to the sky.
    If you do Overclocking better do it yourself, But if you don't know how to do it, Better don't do at all until you learn more about Overclocking.

    If your dad doesn't approve then ask him how much he can spend So i can match a build to that budget.

    ^Yes all things are compatible, But at the store you gonna buy check if the Dark Knight (Cooler) Comes with 1155 LGA Bracket. Yes it will run Aion or any other game out here at Max settings.
    i got an old HD5770 and i run Aion on high settings smoothly.

    As long as it is pro then go with it. I personally like Alienware computers, but that's just preference. "Listen to your heartttt..."

    That site is kindof weird, and lacks a lot of manufacturers and choices making it a lot harder to choose a great build, but I tried to at least put something decent together.

    [​IMG]

    I tried to get as close to the 40-50k range as possible without sacrificing performance but I may be skimming it a bit close. If the price is too high for your parents, you can downgrade the video card/casing and save a ton, I'd stay with that monitor though, unless you don't need a monitor in which case you can ignore it completely. The motherboard and hard drive could be upgraded, but again trying to stay with your mentioned budget.

    Give me a bit to look up the motherboard and see what would probably work best for you

    Ok you're actually going to need to upgrade the motherboard. Heres the 2 options I would personally suggest:

    Either get the 1. ASUS P8Z68-V Pro Z68 (higher quality, but also almost twice the price) - 11,300.00
    OR
    you can otherwise get the 2. ASUS P8H67-M LE Intel H67/DDR3/USB3 - 5,250.00

    If you get the second one for 5,250.00, you should know that it won't be able to run SLI or overclock well. You can decide if this is going to have a huge impact on you or not, but personally I don't think you'll need to SLI for a while and I would recommend you do not overclock since you aren't experienced with it and the computer is being paid by your parents not yourself. With that being said I think the second option is more than good enough for you, but if you really want something that will give you lots of options and maybe last a bit longer, go with the first, more expensive one.

    The 2nd option will be good enough for you, yes.

    As for PSU, I didn't see a category for it on that website so you're going to have to buy one separately, and your card requires a PSU with a minimum of 550 Watts. Note: The site MAY already have a PSU included with the case, I'm not 100% sure, but its a possibility you might want to research.

    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but PSU's aren't as tough for gaming as other parts, as long as you get a decent PSU that is a decent bit over 550 watts (to be safe so the card will have enough power guaranteed) and made by a good manufacturer, you should be in good shape. Corsair and XFX are normally my preferred manufacturer's for PSU's. Heres an example of something you might want to get that should fit you perfectly - Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V v2.2 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
