1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Facebook, email, web surfing, skype
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
Under 300, closer to 200 the better
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
US, Denver, CO ( Microcenter about 20 mins away)
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
Everything except case
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
I have a Antec 300 case I'm going to use. Samsung DVD drive
6) Will you be overclocking?
Unliekly
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
23" Acer HD
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Within 2 weeks
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.
Onboard video, wireless would be nice.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
No I would need this
I have like 4 Windows Vista keys I havent used but was wanting to get 7 and upgrade to 10, or just 10. But rough spending 100 on an OS
Here is what I have been thinking so far:
Intel Pentium G3260, $45 @ Microcenter
CORSAIR CX series CX500 $45/$25AR @ Newegg
Samsung 120gb $68 @ Egg
GIGABYTE GA-B85M-DS3H $49/39AR
Gskill 8gb ddr2 1600 $46
Win 7 (forums) $50
Total is $303 or 273 after rebates. Thoughts?
