1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
This rig is for a bud of mine. He will be starting with only starcraft and then possibly branching out to other games. No photoshop or video processing. 75% Gaming and 25% web browsing
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
I am shooting to keep it between 500-700. I would prefer to stay on the cheaper side. I am giving him an old 19in monitor, but I would prefer to give him a new one if it can fit in the budget.
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
I live in Southern california, OC specifically. I am about 30 minutes away from a microcenter and a frys if parts would be cheaper than online.
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.
I am building from scratch. Case, Power supply, HDD/SDD (Depending on price), Ram, Video Card, Sound Card, DVD Drive, Monitor (this part is optional. It would be great if someone has a better build with no monitor and a lesser build with a monitor)
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
No parts being re used
6) Will you be overclocking?
no
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
Right now it is a 19in, not sure the resolution. If I were to get a monitor, would probably lean towards a 22-24in
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
1 week
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.
None of the above
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
No unfortunately...
I am building the rig as a gift but he knows about it, so I will be able to ask questions if you guys have specific questions to ask. Mostly he will be using it for SC and then branching out from there. Possibly going the battlefield route in the future but not for a while probably. This computer will most likely be built and not changed or added to till it needs to be. My friend does not like to tinker.
Thanks
