As you can see from previous gaming rig i build (listed in sig below); Its been a while since i have even looked at computers. Also my laptop died and i am trying to decide weather i should buy a new gaming laptop or just buy a cheap laptop for general internet and MS office use and build a nice gaming desktop.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
This is primarily a gaming desktop.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$1000 and yes that is including tax and shipping
3) Where do you live?
Tulsa, OK
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.
I need a, Mother board, CPU, RAM, Video card, network card, HDD, DVD_RW, PSU, Sound Card, and a good heat sink for the CPU.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
For now i will reuse my ATX case, my monitor(22"), and my Megaworks 650 6.1 surround sound system.
6) Will you be overclocking?
Maybe
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
I currently have a 22" BenQ monitor with a resolution of 1680x1050 WSXGA+.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Nov 2010
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
Not sure...what ever is best for gaming.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? 32bit or 64bit?
I currently have WinXP but would like to upgrade for Win7. The price of the OS is not part of the $1000 rig build budget.
Thank you all for you help.
