@BringBackLCT @mathmeister Yeah I'm definitely not over clocking! Ok so how much would I save a lot by building it myself?

Depends where you go but don't buy it from somewhere like iBuyPower, it's nearly the price of an alienware. Just find someone local that will build it for you.

Well, build the PC you want on PcPartPicker.com then go to staticice.com for the cheapest price (it searches all the major and some minor retailers)

@BringBackLCT Thank you very much! You've been a great help however do you happen to know of any sites that will test to see if all the chosen components work together or even fit within the case? 

That would be PC Part Picker my friend. It will come up with a warning if something doesn't work. The only thing that it doesn't check as far as i am aware is the GPU length vs case length and cooler height vs case width.

Also, let me know how it goes by PMing me on here. I would like to see what you end up doing. Thanks!

@BringBackLCTOk I'm going to have to replace the case in order to get a case with 3 USB ports will I need to change the motherboard as well?

Do you 100% need 3 usb ports on the case when the motherboard has so many? But if you do change the case, make sure its not an ITX case and its a Micro-ATX or ATX.
