1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? This will be a PC for doing android/web development, some light gaming (minecraft), Youtube, and HD video.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? I would like to stay under $1,100, the closer to $1,000 the better, and yes it would be.
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.95682
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.
Case, Mobo, CPU, RAM, GPU, PSU, HDD, DVD, WNIC, Monitor, can re-use keyboard and mouse, but if budget allows would like to upgrade.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? None
6) Will you be overclocking? No
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it? I would need a monitor preferably something with HDMI, not too picky about size.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Within the next month.
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)?
Whatever the standard is these days, been a long time since I built a computer, im sort of lost.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
No I would just get Win 7 home 64bit
 
Are you ready to buy (and build) everything now?

Do you plan on playing games that are more graphically intensive than Minecraft? If so, which games?

Out of curiosity, which keyboard and mouse are you currently using? Do you need any special "features" on either the keyboard or mouse (like wireless/Bluetooth capability or additional "macro" keys)?
 
Well I Would probably be buying it towards the end of the month. As for the games, I really don't plan on doing anything too intensive, otherwise I will have to throw my budget out! I guess what I am saying is I would like to, but I think that my budget will prevent me from being able to play the big blockbuster titles, so I will just stick to something more simple for right now.And i am using a generic kensington usb keyboard, and an equally generic lenovo optical usb mouse, and no i would need any macros or anything like that. A wireless mouse would be nice, but like i said not required.
 
Well that budget is very capable of playing all the games, maybe not with Ultra settings but playable none-the-less. Though if you give us a list of some of those games you didn't think you'd be able to play, we'll cater the build towards them more. Only reason knowing the games is important is because some games are GPU intensive while others benefit from a faster CPU. Some games like Nvidia while others run better on AMD. Things like that to help us build the perfect setup for you.
