Looking for advice on a build,
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Will be Gaming, Using the Adobe Creative Suite, and general Web/Word processing.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
Hoping to stay between $500-600 CAD.
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
Live in Alberta Canada. Some Canadian eTailers are MemoryExpress, Newegg.ca, NCIX and Tiger Direct. Could do American, but import fee's boost prices quick.
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.
Looking for CPU, MB, Ram, PSU, GPU, Keyboard, Case, HDD (Don't need a lot of HDD space. Could Max at 300gb as I have a 2TB network drive.)
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Mouse and Monitor
6) Will you be overclocking?
Yes
7) 7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
1680x1050, 21"
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
By August 2012.
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)? etc.
Hoping for SLI for future gaming performance, when the rig starts to age. Overclocking features. General expandability and future-proofness. HD Audio Output. Fast networking speeds. As many USB inputs as possible (3.0?).
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Yes, W7 64.
