None of the x51s have unlocked processors. So the most demanding games with LLE are a no go on any of those x51 systems. Also you don't get a good graphics card on the x51 until you step up to the $1079 version.

Case : NZXT Source 210 white
CPU : i5 3570k
Mobo : Asrock Z77 Extreme 3
GPU : EVGA GTX 650
PSU : Antec 550W (Read the mobo manual to plug the cable correctly)
Ram : 8GB (2 sticks x4GB) Gskill RipJaw 1600MHz
Cooler : Cooler Master Hyoer 212 (Search "how to install Cooler Master ..." via youtube)
Thermal compound : Arctic MX-4 (Search "how to apply thermal compound" via youtube )
Hard Drive : Western Union Green drive 7200rpm 1TB

This PC cost 700$ for all components but if this PC was OEM product , i could sell it to customer like you for 1000-1200$ at the store . Build your own PC , you will save 300$ and even more

Though I'm pretty sure the Western Digital Green drives are all ~5400 rpm. I'm too lazy to look right now. You'll also need another ~$100 for an Operating System unless you go Linux.

cant i use the license code from this desktop?

[AnyOldName3]

If you have one, then yes. You may be able to transfer the whole hard drive to the new PC if it's good enough for you.

Allright, 1 more thing..

will my PC run anything? once i used that build?

[DefenderX]

Yep, most games will run @ fullspeed, if you overclock the i5-3570k.

[Misterbont]

why is overclocking necessary?

[DefenderX]

Because of LLE (mostly) Some games only have proper sound with LLE enabled, and LLE is know for being very demanding

[Misterbont]

Allright, this will be my last question hahah!
Im not sure about this PC building because i do not want to waste €600-700,- by doing something wrong..
What will be the best Desktop but ''almost'' with the same requirements?
