1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming, photoshop, design, school.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
Around 500 CDN though my current build is at 661 w/ tax and shipping
3) Where do you live?
Vancouver
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.
CPU,Ram,PSU,Mobo,Gfx card
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Just a lian li case from like 6 years ago, crappy cd rom drive and 2x WD Raptors 36gb for raid.
6) Will you be overclocking?
Doesn't matter
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
22' Benq (1920)
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
A big question I have is whether I should wait until after xmas to do the buying or do it now? I really wanna have the computer to play over the holidays but if prices or something are going to be that much better after the break then I can be convinced.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
I want to have a little future proofing so SLI/Crossfire. Raid is needed too.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
Yeah I have Win7 64bit.
I appreciate your input and assistance if you are reading this. This will be my first build for myself in about 6 years. Back then I spent about 3,000 on a pc, Radeon 8800xt, 2gb dual chan mem, case, trimmings. I'm no longer partial to either AMD, Intel, Nvidia or ATI. But gaming will be why I'm doing this upgrade.
What I have compiled and was looking for approval on is the following (keep in mind I can be convinced to switch to run intel and ati if there is comparable pricing):
