1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Web browsing/email. Gaming - League of Legends, Skyrim, Guild Wars 2
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$1200 - $1700 total, this is fairly flexible.
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
U.S, Detroit, MI. Within driving distance of Microcenter.
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.
CPU, GPU, PSU, Mobo, Case, RAM, HDD, SSD, CD/DVD RW, any additional cooling devices needed.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Not reusing any parts.
6) Will you be overclocking?
Possibly later in its life.
7) 7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
Planning on buying one to go along with this build. 1920 x 1080, probably ~23-24". This does not go towards my budget, I've budgeted for this separately.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Immediately, as soon as I have a build planned.
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.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit
My main goal for this computer is longevity. I tend to run a computer until it can't keep up, then build a new one, I rarely upgrade my current one. I'd like to be able to run games that come out for the next 2-3 of years, even if lower settings. I'd like the option to overclock to help it out as its performance falls off, but probably won't overclock before then. I don't want to overspend, but I'd like to have something I know will last me a while.
