Posting for a friend:
Howdy guys, back again helping another friend get a moderate budget gamer setup. Best bang for the buck is what he is going for with the best gaming performance. I believe it will mostly be WoW-ish related gaming. Thanks ahead of time for any help. <3
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
-- Gaming and general use.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$600 total.
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
Beaverton/Tigard, Oregon, USA
A Frye's Electronics is somewhat near, about 1-1.5 hour drive if needed for great combo.
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.
Case, PSU, CPU, Mobo, GPU, RAM, HDD, DVD
All exept Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Only re-using keyboard/mouse, and 20" monitor.
6) Will you be overclocking?
No
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
20", not my monitor, unsure of max res, most like 1920x1080
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
1-2 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.
Nothing special for the mobo, just what is needed at the current times. Doubt we will need X-fire or SLI, USB 3.0 seems pretty standard for most mobos at least 1 port, and SATA 6 if HDD accomadates it.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Windows 7 - 64bit Legit
Thanks for any and all suggestions. I know Danny had a build planned out for a similar budget, so hopefully too much time won't be needed to iron this one out.
<3 all, and hope to hear from you Danny as always.
