Hi guys, thanks in advance for the help. I apologize for the lack of initial selection but I'm pretty lost in out there in the current hardware situation. A matter of too much selection honestly.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Games (pretty much anything other than RPG's and racing games), web browsing
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
~ $900 CDN, it's a pretty soft limit; taxes not included
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I'm hoping to buy everything from Canada Computers due to past good experience and they're physically convenient if I have to do returns etc. I can also pick it up.
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, mobo, PSU, HD, GPU, case, optical disc drive, not sure if blu-ray is worth it; i don't have a standalone player / tv so strongly considering it
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
monitor / mouse / keyboard
6) Will you be overclocking?
emphatic no
7) 7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
1920x1080, 23inches
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
1-3 weeks, depending on when I can get myself organized
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.
onboard sound / networking, USB 3.0? some future-proofing would be nice; I got 6 years out of my current machine
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
windows Pro 7 64 bit
Thanks again!
