Haven't updated in about 5 yrs. Currently using Epox 9NPA+ Ultra, AMD 64 3800+, Geforce 7900 GS, 2GB Crucial Ballistix DDR500 PC4000, OCZ Powerstream 520, Lian-Li PC-7B Plus, Lte-on Burner
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Video Encoding, Decoding, Transcoding, Streaming, Multitasking, Web Browsing, VMs, Video Serving, 24x7 usage
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
Open - I don't like to update often, so Stability and Longevity is key.
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
US - Tulsa, OK
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.
MB, CPU, HSF, RAM, PS
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Case - Lian-Li PC-7B Plus, DVD-RW, HDD - SATAs
6) Will you be overclocking?
I can if needed, but 24x7 stability and BANG for the BUCK is key.
7) 7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
Need a monitor as well. Thinking Dell P1911, P2212, or similar. Had Dell 2005FPW that just recently died.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
ASAP
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.
No gaming, so Onboard Video as main. maybe eSATA, not a deal breaker. Not that concerned with anything else. Did I mention Stability and Longevity.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit, will be installing 64-bit on this build.
These are the parts I was thinking about: (Not in stone)
i5-3570K or i7- ?
CM Hyper 212 +
Antec NEO ECO 520C 520W
2- G.SKILL Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
MB - not sure
or is this overkill?
