1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming(FPS), Web browsing, some work use(online forms an such)
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$1800.00. Tax and shipping are not included in this price.
3) Where do you live?
North Carolina
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 (Intel), CPU Cooler?, RAM, Motherboard, Graphics card, power supply, DVD drive, case, maybe a sound card.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
I will be reusing my monitor for the time being, or at least until I figure out something for a multi monitor setup.
6) Will you be overclocking?
Probably not.
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
I currently have a 24" LG 1920x1200. I am planning on changing this in the very near future. The monitors are not included in my build price. I will either get 3 1920x1200 monitors for multi-monitor gaming, or I will get a single 30".
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
ASAP. See below.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video? etc.
I prefer the option of either Crossfire or SLI.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
I will be getting Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Don't see a need for Ultimate unless you convince me otherwise.
I run a business with my brother and my father. I handle all the PC needs for our business. My brother is using a PC that we got from dell 8 years ago. His system is barely getting him by since we had to update some of our software. Instead of me buying or building him a new system, the company is going to pay the amount to me and I am going to give them my current system. I will in turn use the money towards a new build for myself.
I have a build in mind, but I wanted to hear some input from you guys. You may steer me in a direction that I had not considered. I love eyecandy. So I want to get as much graphics power as possible. I have been in the Nvidia camp for a very long time. I am not married to them but I am more familiar, but I am not against going with ATI. As far as the case goes. As for the case, I would like one with good airflow, quiet as possible, & is aesthetically pleasing. I have an ASUS Xonar sound card. I may reuse it in my new build or, if onboard audio works great on my new mobo, or if you recommend a good sound card that works well in win 7. I have a logitech 5.1 sound system. I prefer to purchase my parts from New Egg as well.
Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing from you guys.
