    what are the cheapest websites for buying parts for building/upgrading a system ? I'm upgrading an old Alienware PC, an Alienware Aurora ALX R4. mATX size motherboard I was going to go with AMD to keep the cost down. What would be a good CPU & GPU (AMD) to pick for to have graphics set to high for games like the latest Call of Duty and BATTLEFIELD 2042 and so on...

    Are you sure you want to keep the case?

    As far as i can tell it's micro-ATX (standardized) but a gigantic 69L and 20kg, and with poor/non-existent airflow.

    All things considered, I'd go with an all-new build.

    You can also check MemoryC.ie - I think they had the case a bit cheaper, maybe other parts too.

    And if you want a liquid cooler, go for an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 240 (see bargains thread).
