Hello I'm currently running a older PC and with the slew of games due to release soon i've decided it may be time to rebuild... plus i just got back from overseas. I'm not a brand fanboy and only desire the most bang for the buck. Although i'm really fond of the gigabyte motherboard in my current setup.

Currently i have a Core2Duo E8500 OC to 4.00ghz. 8gb Ram, Gigabyte EP45-UD3P motherboard, Sapphire 4870 1gb vid card, with a 1000w Tagan power supply in a Antec 900 case.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming. (BFBC2, SC2, BF3 and Cliffs of dover(when they comes out) things like that) Stream movies to wd tv live.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
1000$, not including shipping and tax
3) Where do you live?
US/CT
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, Motherboard, Video Card, SSD.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. PSU - Tagan TG1100-U96 (although cable management is a pain.), HDD - 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3, Monitor HP w2207h, CPU cooler Cosair H50.
6) Will you be overclocking? Yes
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have? 22" 1920x1080
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Next few week or so.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video? etc.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit? Win7 pro 64. I have a usb dvd drive for the rare occasion that i use it.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Cheers!
 
You forgot to answer question 9. Also how long have you had that Tagan?

Click to expand...

3 months on the Tagen. Sat in a box for a few months as a backup psu.
9. I don't plan on using sli / crossfire unless its cost effective for the build( plus only 1 monitor). 6gbs sata would be nice. No need for firewire stuff, gb lan is desired. USB 3 would be nice but not necessary. I would like something that is overclocking friendly.
