My suitemate took a liking to the Shuttle setup I bought and wants something similarly small and reasonably powerful.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming. Dragon Age, GTA4, Crysis, MW2, everything.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$600-650 including tax and shipping, but NOT including MIR or cashback (he can only afford $650 max up-front).
3) Where do you live?
NYC for school, Connecticut for home.
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.
He *needs* either a Shuttle or mini-ITX form factor, and is looking for a small size followed by quite a bit of power. Based on that, he wants one of the following cases/barebones to be the basis of the build:
Lian Li PC-Q07
Silverstone SG05
Silverstone SG06
Shuttle H7 or G2 chassis
Or a case of equal or small volume than the above. mATX is out, I asked him.
He needs the CPU, RAM, HDD, GPU, MOBO, PSU, CASE, and a DVD/CD COMBO DRIVE.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
He has an EMU-0404 USB external sound cad and a pair of Sennheiser HD 600s already, as well as the mouse, keyboard, and monitor.
6) Will you be overclocking?
Not initially, only as games get more demanding.
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
He has a 23" 1920x1080 Samsung panel.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
ASAP, early December.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
Nothing in particular. Integrated WiFi is a bonus.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
Yes, he has Windows 7 64-bit from student promotions.
Thanks in advance. I was going to suggest him a build similar to mine but many of the parts are OOS and/or no longer available at good prices, and you guys could probably do one better anyway.
