1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming... *cough* bf3 *cough*
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
1200-1350 NOT including tax or shipping
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.

Vancouver, BC, Canada
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.
CPU, MOBO, RAM, HD, SSD, BLURAY BURNER, CASE, FAN, PSUPPLY, VIDEOCARD
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Reusing Windows Vista 64x
6) Will you be overclocking?
Never done it before, may look into it.
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
Have a 24" 1920x1200
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
< 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? etc.
USB 3.0
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Vista 64


Only want the SSD capable of holding OS, a few apps, and a game or two. So ~50-80GB will suffice. I will be very happy if I can max out BF3 settings on 1920x1200 and some. Thanks!
 
You know that game hasn't come out yet right?

Unless you're really really hurting for an upgrade, I'd wait until BF3 is released to find out what kind of hardware is needed to play that game at max or even just high settings at 1920x1200.
 
I second what Danny said, wait until the game comes out if you can... or at least the week it comes out as information about what kind of hardware it will require should be released so we'll know.
 
While we're waiting, could you explain why you need a Blu-ray burner for BF3?

And which edition of Vista x64 are you reusing? Is it a Retail copy?
 
Blu-ray burner for other activities I'm not going to explain here. Vista 64 is retail, I'm waiting on Windows 8 to be released early next year.
