1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
I primarily web browse, do development in Eclipse and Visual Studio, the maybe 5 hours a month of GTAIV, AutoCAD and typing software docs. I play GTAIV on med settings at 1280x720 on a 40" LCD, so clearly gaming isn't that important.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$400 for the whole deal to my door.
3) Where do you live?
Grand Rapids, MI 49525
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.
CPU
RAM
Motherboard
PSU if PCP&C S470ATX is unable to cut the mustard.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Cooler Master Centurion 5 Case
eVGA 7800GT CO & eVGA 9600GSO - Will upgrade a little later this year.
Seagate Barracuda 160GB ST316081 SATA HD Drive
Samsung SH-S182M DVD+/-RW Drive
If low power consumption; PC Power & Cooling Silencer 470ATX PSU.
6) Will you be overclocking?
No.
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
I currently run a Landscaped Samsung LN40A500 LCD HDTV at 1920x1080@60Hz and two portraited Dell 2209WAs at 1050x1680@60Hz. No new purchases here.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Within the next month, month and a half.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
I don't need RAID, Crossfire or SLI; but I want two slots to house my videocards.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
Yes. I have legit MSDN AA copies of XP Professional and Vista Business; both OSes in 32 and 64 Bit.
Any and all recommendations are appreciated! I built this last rig in February of 2006 and I have kind of fell out keeping up with this tech. Any leads can help me get back in the game a little.
