Upgrade my Alienwear 15 R2? Yes, No, Maybe so? and a few other random questions.


Recommended Posts

Okay so I got a Desktop. LOL.I wanted to keep the Laptop but I went out and bought a PNY GTX1060 and realized that it would not work in the Alienware amp because I need 500W and the Amp only has 460W Max. Anyhow I went to my local FRYS and bought a budget prebuilt cybertron with following Stock specs

 

ASUS M5A 78L-M Board

AMD FX-4300 (4 Core) 3.3 GHz CPU

ZOTAC GTX 1050 2GB GPU

8GB DDD3 1866

Toshiba 1TB HDDR

500W ATX PSU

 

I upgraded the 150 to the 6GB GTX1060. That was a pain. Cybertron dosen't want you messing with the prebuilt config so I had do take out the PSU and the Hard Drive and cut off a few zip ties to get at the unused Molex connectors to get the 6 6 pin I needed for the supplementary power to the GPU. Am now about to pop in two 8GB DDR3 HyperX 1866 RAM. I figure that should give me at least a decent start on a legit gaming PC. Should preform better than the Alienwear Laptop anyhow. Thanks all for the advice.
