1. What will you be doing with this PC? Primarily Emulation first and foremost with a little light Steam gaming. I've got a dedicated gaming rig but figured it woukd be nice to play some less graphically intensive titles... rayman, walking dead etc.
2. Will you be overclocking? (If so, are you looking to watercool?). Nope
3. What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included in this budget? Is your budget flexible? £500ish
4. Where do you live? UK ...Scan / Overclockers are my preferred suppliers, but anywhere that sells the right parts really
5. What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. VESA mountable case with PSU that can accomodate mini ITX mobo, 2.5" SSD (60-120GB), Intel or AMD CPU/APU with half decent integrated graphics, cooler, RAM, Wireless card
6. If reusing any parts, what parts will you be rusing... all new parts here
7. What specific features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Thunderbolt? Crossfire or SLI support? 2-4 USB, 1-2 SATA
8. What resolution output do you need? 720-1080p
9. Does this system need to fit into a particular space and do you need an optical drive? No optical drive needeed. Want to mount the case on the back of a TV so case needs to be compact
10. How comfortable are you with custom case design/modification and electrical wiring? Would much prefer an off the shelf case... dont have time for customizations.
11. How important is the noise/silence of this sytem? As quiet as it can be but I'm not particularly precious about the noise... it wont be a deal breaker if theres noise as long as it doesnt sound like a hoover!
12. How mobile does this system need to be? Its not moving once in place
13. Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? Win 7 64... OS is covered.
14. When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Wanna buy bits and complete build by end of this June
Thank you all
