My current rig is 6 years old and I am ready to get another one. I have only bought pre built systems in the past, but I know I can save a lot by doing it on my own. I do have some concerns about building one myself, so that is why I am looking for some help. I can go to newegg, or mwave(they will put it together and test it). But since it has been some time since I last did some research on parts, this is where I hope I can get some help.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
PC gaming and web browsing
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
2-2.5k. Tax and shipping not included(I get 20% discount on what I buy)
3) Where do you live?
Ohio
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.
I am building from scratch, so I need everything except a monitor.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
not reusing anything
6) Will you be overclocking?
I don't have experience with oc'ing, but would consider it.
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
I plan to get a 22' or 24' monitor
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? etc.
I will admit, I don't know enough about these features. Any help would be appreciated
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
I will be upgrading to a new Windows 7
