1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
All of the above; it's a general purpose machine with a heavy lean towards PC gaming, specifically MMORPGs.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
Bang for the buck within an unlimited budget but just because I can spend it doesn't mean I want to.
3) Where do you live?
Austin TX - No microcenter =(
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
PSU, CPU, MOBO, Case
Case: I'm torn between the Silverstone RV02 and FT02 but I'm more concerned about the internals at this point, I've also had my eye on the LIAN LI PC-A05NA as the space for the rig is somewhat limited.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Dual ATI 512MB 4870s
8GB (2 x 4GB) CORSAIR Vengeance 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
1x Corsair Force CSSD-F120GB2-BRKT 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (boot)
1x WD Velociraptor 300GB
1x WD Raptor 74.3GB
(most of my data is kept on my 4tb NAS, would like to pick up a cheap'ish' 1TB drive in the future, i've 2x 320GB Maxtor Diamond Max drives kicking around as well).
6) Will you be overclocking?
I'll be dabbling to see what I can get but it's not a focus of the machine.
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
24" 1920x1080 (res I use) - always want to have more or go bigger in the future.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Soon! I'm picking items up as deals pop up.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
No need for Raid (have a NAS) or Firewire and don't NEED to have dual card solution; i'm totally fine with a single card solution in the future but would eventually run a dual card setup.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? 32bit or 64bit?
Win7U64
What I want is a QUIET PC (hence the corsair cooler and Silverstone cases) for a change without too much sacrifice in performance. I don't need e-peen framerates
I'm looking to build around a 2600K+.
