I have a gaming laptop bought on 2010 and it still run 2012 games ALMOST to the recommended requirements.
Also I want a SSD to load stuff faster.. So give me a website and if I say it's good I will give you a imaginary cake.

WARNING:400 dollar budget!!

And is this a decent headphone?

Answer
No decent external video card exists that doesn't cost an arm and a leg AND underperforms.

SSD... depends on how big you want, but Newegg is almost always cheap enough. Prices are down, but they're never big enough, it seems, not with all the crap we load on it. :D Unless you can put 2 HD's in there.

Decent headphone? Hmmm... That'll do.

I want to make a gaming computer. Parts advice? 10 Points.?

Muhaha

I want a $1000 budget on everything in the computer, including case. It has to be easily accessible inside so I can get to stuff and swap things in and out. It has to include everything I need for playing games from a disk, and preferably a WLan card or something too for games I have on Steam. Also a $500 budget on everything else to go with the computer, such as keyboard, mouse, speakers, headset.

It has to be able to run games like BF3 and be capable of playing any MMORPG.

I like pccsegear.com because it is an Australian site. Any other Australian websites are good as well, or computer stores in the Newcastle, NSW area. I do like newegg.com, but I will NOT be using that or any foreign websites because of shipping costs and some other reasons.

This is also my first time building a computer, and even owning anything other than a laptop, so if you could direct me to a site that will help me actually build it that would be great.

This might be a lot to ask, but 10 points best answer :)

All help is greatly appreciated. Maybe also if you could direct me to some place where I could learn more about these parts and what the specs of parts actually mean and how they differentiate from others. Thanks :)

Answer
I am doing something similar to you, so I won't get the 10 points, but I'd recommend a business known as msy computers that are Australian for purchasing the parts. They allow you to check if parts are in stock online and then you can pick them up, they usually have everything very cheap, and their range is fair. The only catch is they have virtually no customer service, you go in there and tell them what you want and then the person goes and gets it for you. If you can find that store nearby to you I'd recommend it, they're pretty common over here in SA.

Also from what I'm gathering from research it would be a good idea to go with an ivy bridge intel processor and a motherboard. Youtube and Google how to build computers and stuff, there were a very nice tutorials which I found helpful in learning how to build them.
