1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Primarily gaming (MMOs such as Rift, SWTOR) and web, some photoshop (photo manipulation not generating art).
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
None but I don't need an e-peen machine.
3) Where do you live?
Austin, TX - USA
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.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Leftover parts are listed above but I would prefer to NOT use the video cards or ram.
6) Will you be overclocking?
No
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
24" SOYO Topaz S (last thing I will be upgrading)
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
I'm tempted to wait for Sandy Bridge but could start buying now if there are good deals
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? etc.
I want the new bells and whistles!
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Yes, Win7 64
My Alienware MX11 is fine for web/mail/ps but struggles for certain games as you can well imagine - I'm also having the dreaded 'hinge' issue so it might be going back for service soon...
Thanks!
