*** Update *** See my post below for an album of the build.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming, Web Browsing, Spreadsheet Work
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$2,500 to $3,000 (includiing tax and shipping)
3) Where do you live?
Dallas, Texas
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.
Everything except the keyboard and mouse.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Keyboard and mouse.
6) Will you be overclocking?
No.
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
Would like to purchase two 24 inch monitors (these are part of the budget).
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
2-6 weeks.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
I am flexible on this. RAID might be a nice feature, but not necessary.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? 32bit or 64bit?
Will need to purchase Windows 7 64 bit, as well as MS Office 2007 Home.
Primarily this computer will be used for playing the various first person shooters as they come out, as well as WoW.
I really would like a dual monitor setup, and I am interested in a SSD boot drive for loading speed.
I have read the various other computer build threads that are currently going, and I am confused about what level of processor/GPUs I will need. Ideally I would like to be able to play two instances of WoW, one on each monitor, at max resolution (let me know if this is not possible on this budget and I can revise my expectations).
Let me know what other questions you may have.
Thanks,
Sparktz
