1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
1000 (shipping and tax included)
3) Where do you live?
Tucson, AZ
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.
All necessary.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
I have a 450 watt vxw corsair PSU. I'm not sure this will be enough, so I most likely plan to replace it. I have mouse/keyboard/speakers. Just looking for the box stuff. I have a DVD drive as well, that's fine for my needs of just installing games occasionally.
6) Will you be overclocking?
Perhaps I will. If it's safe/easy I would like to, so I probably want an aftermarket fan.
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
I'd like the build to include a monitor. Whatever resolution will be best for the build, not that picky on this. My current 19" Hanns G has capacitor issues so I can't really use it without problems.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Within a month.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
It would be nice to have SLI expandability, in case I want to squeeze some extra performance out of it down the line, but it's not necessary. Don't need RAID or firewire, just plain old USB2.0 and a decent built in sound card/ethernet.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
Yeah, I have a win7 pro x64 I will put on it, and revert to vista on my laptop.
Thanks for the help, to anyone who reads. I'll be upgrading to this computer from an AMD 3000+ 1.8 ghz single core, 8800GTS 320 MB, 1 gig DDR ram box, so I'm pretty much excited to get this and move out of the stone age!
EDIT: Also, on a side note, I plan to LAN quite a bit with friends, so a durable case would be preferred to a more flashy one.
