Hey guys I'm looking for some first time builder advice based on the things that ill be doing with it.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Really want it to be able to play fall out new Vegas and Dialog iii when it comes out. Also want itunes to run smooth and eventually be able to watch blue rays but ill add the blue ray drive later
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
Budget is around 800 plus whatever shipping is
3) Where do you live?
Reno NV
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 motherboard RAM video card hard drive (thinking of getting an ocz revo for my OS and applications)
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
I have a cm storm scout case 700 watt silent pro psu and a cm v8 CPU cooler. Also have key board mouse and a 1080p monster
6) Will you be overclocking?
Yes
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
About 22 - 24 inches and I might get a second one but that's not part of my budget
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Between now and Christmas
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? etc.
Only the items that will allow me to accomplish what I need
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
I have a brand new copy of Windows 7 pro
