I hate doing builds outside the U.S. So I'm asking for some help here, friend of mine wants to build a PC that lives in the UK and asked me for advice. I'm not sure what prices are like over there, much less where to buy parts from so maybe someone here can help out.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
"The PC will be mainly used for editing using Sony Vegas. But I want to experience a surround system also, I've been planning to have perhaps Eye Infinity the theory behind is simply awesome. At the moment I'm not too fussed about Gaming on the PC but maybe in the near future I may get into it. But it would be ideal to have a desktop PC that will allow me to upgrade parts in the future."
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
His budget is 2000 pounds, tax and shipping included.
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
UK
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.
He will need a CPU, Motherboard, RAM, HDD/SDD, GPU, PSU, Case, ODD
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
2 Philips 24.7" 1080P monitors
6) Will you be overclocking?
Air overclocking if his budget allows (Sure it will)
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
1080P * 2
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
End of this week, next week, basically ASAP
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.
He has no specific needs in a motherboard. Although if he intends to do eyefinity/NVSurround then he'll need multiple GPU support.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Windows 7 Pro 64
