i bought a pavlion p7-1210 a while back because i just wanted a standard pc. Now i'm starting to lean towards the gaming side mostly mmos, currently playing FFXIV(<can pull around 20fps at mid setting). It really hit home the other day when i was trying to play farcry4 and it was barely playable. I am willing to put out about $800, and with that in mind i went searching the web and found the alienware x51.
so... can i up grade my pavlion to be better than the x51 if so how? please be detailed, i am not a techwiz.
currently running
AMD Quad-core A6-3620 Accelerated processor
6GB DDR3 system memory
AMD radeon hd 6530D integrated graphics
1 terabyte hard drive
