1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
This build is for a friend, he's buying some parts from me (listed below). He'll be gaming primarily, plus the usual internet/office work
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$410 preferred, but willing to do $460 max if it's worth it
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
California
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 (and possible cooler), RAM, GPU
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Friend will be buying my case (SilverStone TJ08B-E), mobo (ASUS P8Z77-M) and PSU (SeaSonic 620 watt) all for $190 from me (I'm throwing in on of my older 120GB Samsung 840s at no cost to sweeten the deal). Parts he'll be reusing: older WD 500GB storage drive, DVD burner
6) Will you be overclocking?
CPU = yes if it possibly fits within the budget (if not, that's okay). GPU = definitely
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
One 1080p monitor
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
ASAP
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.
N/A (motherboard already purchased)
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Yes, Windows 7 64-bit
Just to clarify, his total max budget is $700 ($600 preferred), but he'll be buying my mATX case + Z77 mobo + PSU for $190 (and again I'm giving him my old 120GB Samsung 840s for free as part of the deal). So essentially he has $410 ($460 max) to spend on the rest of the parts.
