1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Mostly gaming and playing audio/video. A little bit of video encoding on the side.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$800 including tax and shipping. Possibly higher if need be.
3) Where do you live?
USA.
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.
Case, CPU, DVD Writer, Radeon 4870 or greater, HDD 1TB minimum, Motherboard, PSU, 8GB of RAM with heat spreaders, Sound Card, and anything else I will need for the build, such as cables, thermal paste, heatsink/fan, etc.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Not applicable.
6) Will you be overclocking?
Yes, as much as I can get with a stock or inexpensive third party cooler.
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
22-24 inch LCD.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Soon.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
RAID. IDE preferred but not necessarily needed.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
Yes.
The sound card will run to a receiver in a 6.1/7.1 home theater surround sound system in the future, so it needs to provide a sufficient sound quality.
I want the system to be upgradeable in the CPU and GPU department.
I also need recommendations for the following(the budget for these items is separate from the core build above):
Gaming monitor. 22-24 inchs viewing area. 1920 x 1080 or 1920 x 1200 resolution (preferred).
Budget: $200 - $250
Headset with microphone (ideally directional).
Budget: $50 - $70
Gaming keyboard. It needs to have good macro keys, software and back lighting (especially important). The keys need to be clearly visible in darkness with the back light on and day light with it off.
Budget: $30 - $50
A small non cloth chair with arm rests, adjustable height and reclining capabilities.
The lower end of the price spectrum is what I am aiming for on all of these.
