1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming, not a heavy FPS gamer, but I would like something that will be able to play Starcraft2 and Diablo3
Java programming
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$1000 before tax and shipping
3) Where do you live?
Ontario, Canada
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.
Everything. Starting from scratch.
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?
No.
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
22"-24". Don't have one at the moment. Will need to include one.
I would also like to get a video card that is capable of dual monitors. I'll worry about the second monitor in the future.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Within 30 days.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
For the motherboard/chip, I would prefer something from the Core i-Series.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? 32bit or 64bit?
No. Will need to include Windows 7 in the pricing.


Thanks in advance.
