Hey guys last year i got the Alienware x51 R2 (Ya I know hurr durr should have built a PC ***) but anyways I have no idea what I can and can't upgrade and the possibilities so I was hoping someone can help. P.S I am getting the power supply upgrade already
CPU: Intel Core i3
GPU: Nvidia GTX 645 (Something about having Intel HD Graphics 4400 also???)
Motherboard: Alienware 0PGRP5
Storage: 931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162
RAM:6GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 800 MHz
I am looking to upgrade in preference, RAM, Graphics Card, CPU. I could care less about the Storage I think it's fine.

Storage is fine, RAM is fine. I'm assuming the CPU is the 4150. If so, it's fine and your best upgrading your other components first. PSU will 100% need upgraded. I'd keep the mobo for now, upgrade CPU and mobo at the same time. Your first upgrades should be case and PSU, then upgrade GPU and add an SSD, then focus on a CPU and mobo upgrade.

We can't recommend anything without knowing your budget and currency though.
