1) What will you be doing with this PC?
Browsing the web, occasional video editing but nothing serious enough to warrant a graphics card.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
300-400$. Yes tax and shipping included.
3) Where do you live?
Tennessee, USA
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget?
Motherboard, CPU, Memory, PSU, HDD, Case
Note: No VGA card is listed. It is not necessary for this build, but I do need a way of connecting the monitor obviously. If its more efficient and/or cheaper to get a video card then I am up for that instead of getting a mobo with an on board GPU.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing?
Not reusing parts.
6) Will you be overclocking?
No
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
Dell 2007FP
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
I plan on buying it as soon as possible in order to take advantage of any Black Friday deals.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support?
Nothing fancy like SLI or RAID. Just the latest technologies, like SATA, maybe some type of integrated GPU, etc
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
Yes - Windows 7 64bit
Additional Information:
I plan on using the heatsink that comes with the CPU, fans that come with the case and I do not want to do anything fancy. I would prefer the case to be a mid-tower that is cheap but sturdy and to stick with products from well known manufacturers like Asus, Intel, AMD, and Corsair even if it means paying a little extra.
I have decided on the following, but I came here in hopes that you guys could enlighten me to some Black Firday deals.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 - 140$
Motherboard: EVGA 113-YW-E115-TR - 110$
HDD: WD Caviar Black 640 GB - 50$
Memory: GSKILL 2x2GB PC2-6400 Dual Channel Kit - 94$
Case: CoolerMaster Centurion 5 - 50$
PSU: Corsair 400CX - 40$
So this is about 85$ over my 400$ price range. I was hoping you guys would be able to bring it down, or suggest a entirely different setup with equal or better performance for cheaper.
Thanks for the suggestions in advance!
