Well about a year and a half ago now I baught an alienware (ya i know ) and ive been having major problems. Since may it shoots up temperature, the highest i think it was at was like 120 Celcius.. I just recently figured out it was most likely the graphics cards fan not working. Also the hard drive just died when I tried reinstalling the driver for the graphics card to maybe try and fix it (because it didn't use to do it till may and thought it might.. just turn it on or somethin ). Well I had to buy a new hard drive, but ive been planning on getting (building) a new computer for sometime now.
I'm a pretty big newb at this stuff (from messing with my comp though trying to get the damn thing to stop over heating and trying like 2 old harddrives (1 was broke and one had 325 mb total rofl) to work, I think I could figure out how to put one together), and I need help with what to get. This is what I came up with after doing some looking and stuff. If the links aren't allowed i'll remove em.
