    Question 800$ to 900$ spending limit, need a good pc, HELP!!!

    I need a computer to run games like Nether, Arma, and various other demanding games on high settings with no lag. I dont have a very high budget and would like it to be around 850$ at the most but am willing to go up to 900$. I made one using what little knowledge I have over hardware and from some recommendations of close friends. I have a build setup on this site called ************ and I will post the link to the build for you guys to view and change how you see fit. PLEASE ONLY POST IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCED!

    https://************.com/p/3oOF0 <--- The link to my build (replace the * with [pc part picker] no spaces or brackets)

    Other things to keep in mind...
    - My room gets quite hot during the day
    - I know very little about hardware
    - It needs to last (I do take care of my machines)
    - Needs to be in the 850$-900$ or less if possible


    And if anyone can ballpark what an Alienware M14x R2 Generation 1 with a new 500GB Hard drive would be worth. Thanks guys.

    Will this run Nether on high? Im not sure if you know Nether or the requirements for it but its right around where ARMA would be I believe.

    It would have non problem with Nether. Or any other game for that matter to be honest.

    Yes, however you will likely need a disc tray to install the OS unless you plan to go USB.

    Is it simple doing it through USB or would you recommend doing it through disc tray?

    Disc tray is always easier as you only need to burn to a disc and if you dont have a big enough USB just means playing for that.
    Only used USB for installing my Hackintosh which was a pain however doing it for windows wont be that bad.

    I would recommend Disc tho, gives you a disc you can then use again and again if need be

    I mean I have a 32GB and a 64GB flash drives plus several 8GB. I am not sure how much space the OS takes up but if its possible I would rather do it through USB since I am already pushing my wallet with this purchase and it might sound like a 20$ Optical Drive may not make a difference but it really would in this case.

    An 8gb stick would be fine. You can just go with that option if you like.
