Help needed with new build

[Krazen]

I have really been out of the loop as far as PC building is concerned and so I'm coming to the gurus for help

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming Primarily (Guild Wars 2, Planetside 2). Some light video editing and photoshop for work

2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$1000

3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
U.S. Fairfax, Va - Microcenter local

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.

Case - It doesn't have to be pretty. Just functional
Motherboard
CPU - Intel Preferred
Memory
Video Card - Prefer Nvidia w/HDMI out
Power Supply
Hard Drives (maybe a SSD for boot/current games & 1-2TB for storage)
Express Card 34 is needed. I have found this adapter that would work

5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Monitor

6) Will you be overclocking?
No

7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
24" 1920x1080

8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
In the next month. It can be immediate if the deal is right or I can wait.

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.
USB 3.0, eSATA

10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
I already have Windows 7 64bit

Thanks!

Question: Why do you need an express card adapter?

 

[Krazen]

First, thanks for the help.

I need the express card slot for the SXS cards from Sony for the Ex3 and F3 cameras. I would like to have a way to archive client data for longer periods of time. Right now I'm using an aging laptop do do the transfers.

 

[Dangman]

Fair enough. Good luck with that card.
