Thankyou!

You want 1TB at most, not least. And you also want 8 gigs of RAM (which most people call RAM, you don't have to go and say Random Access Memory), any more is extremely unnecessary unless you plan on becoming a streamer, which is a really hard thing to do.

My suggestions for searching a computer would be 1TB of HDD storage, maybe just 512GB would be fine as well. Get 8GB of RAM, no more, no less. Your Processor (CPU) should be an Intel i5, but if you're feeling like you want to spend more for a little more, get an Intel i7. If you're not going to be playing graphics-heavy games like Grand Theft Auto V or Assassin's Creed IV or anything of that sort, You could go for a lower NVidia model GPU, like a GTX 760, but I really can't tell you what to get in that regard since I don't know what you're planning on wanting your computer to do. For PSU, I suggest maybe 800W to 1200W just to be safe, I'm still uncertain on what the whole PC would need as that's something you'll have to look for yourself, though most people I know use 1200W PSUs. For OS I'm on the fence about Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, as Windows 7 is a great OS in itself, though Windows 8.1 is pretty good and gives a little more performance than a 7.

What I don't understand is what you want to do with the computer, so it's up to you to figure out, for yourself, what you're going to build for a PC.

If you plug in an SD card into yout computer a new file pops up and you can move your stuff into the new PC by SD card, thats how I moved my stuff into mt XL.

Not all computers have SD card slots. It's more convenient to use a flashdrive or something like Dropbox.

Unless you want to spend an upward of $40+ on and external SD card/various card port. I saw one at BestBuy that was about $60.

Ouch! I do not care for price if it is less then $1.000,00 and it is pree built! I was told "Alien Ware" by my friend so...

Also, I do plan on live streaming, recording, and Any other Game I can get a hold of for PC! I use a 39 inch televisiön for a monitor though!

Alienware is waaay overrated and overpriced to the moon and back. That's about the worst-valued way to spend money you could think of.

This. Alienware sell you moderate hardware for double the price. It's not worth it at all.

Custom-built PC master race.

If I had the money I'd help you design a PC for yourself but unfortunately I'm dead broke, so you'll have to check out a prebuilt like a Dell. Definitely consider getting that Dell XPS I linked earlier.

I will ask my dad to build it then! I just hope the parts do not exceed $1.000,00!

Can you stop using the macrons.

A) Why didn't you ask him first before asking an internet forum dedicated to a dead fangame and
B) I'm sorry to tell you this but if you want a decent desktop computer, it will have to exceed a little over $1k.

Anyone can build a computer, but that doesn't mean they know what they're doing necessarily. Plus they're expensive LEGO on steroids.

Those are not macrons, those are umlauts! I have a bad habit of using them when the word ends in "ion" ever since my tenth grade year...

I did, I still needed the advice

What does "1K" mean

1K means 1000, basically. It's like 1KM (Kilometers) but into 1000M (Meter). Just a clarification.

I think Dell XPS would be good as of what others described even know that we don't have a Dell PC anymore (we had one but that was in 2006-2008 where Windows XP was like a thing).

What concerns me here is the thread name"Should Computer i get a new computer. Shouldn't it just be "Should i get a new computer"

How did you even get that habit? Umlauts in German are rarely used in "iön". I can't think of a single example of such a word atm.
