I'm new to this so.... bare with me please.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Mostly gaming, a little bit of web browsing.

2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
I'm trying to keep it under $1,200

3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
Port Jervis, New York.

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, GPU, RAM, MOBO, Case, Internal Hard Drive, Power Supply, Disk Drive.

5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
None.

I am using a 32" HD TV.

8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Hoping by the end of February.

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.
I'm not so sure. I'm hoping you guys and girls can help me out with that one.

10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
No, but pretty sure i want 64 bit.

Any recommendations or suggestions are welcome and Thanks ahead of time.
 
Do you live near any of the three Micro Center locations in NY/NJ?

"The end of February" is a long time when it comes to available parts. Are you ready to buy/build everything now?

Which games do you want to play? At what level of visual quality?

What's the brand/model of the HDTV? More importantly, what is its native resolution?
