1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming, Limited Virtualization , web browsing, TV capture. For Gaming, primarily have been playing Skyrim, Fallout 3/new vegas, and Civilization 5. Went to try titanfall to see how it would run during the free period before buying, but was unable to run it because of lack of directx 11 support in the current video card. Will be looking at the new Civilization game as well, but understand that its quite a ways out still yet.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
400-500. Tax and shipping included. I know that's probably overkill for what i'm asking, but just in case.
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
Buckhannon, WV Closet Microcenter is a 4-6 hr drive. I've timed upgrades before to trips that took me close to one, but don't have any planned in the near future.
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.
Primarily looking for Video card and Hard Drive, unless the current system should be upgraded and then i will wait till i get a better budget. The current video card is a BFG nvidia GTX 285. and hard drive is a Corsair M4 64GB.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Will be reusing:
Motherboard: Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
CPU: I7 930
RAM: 12GB (3x 2GB OCZ OCZ3G1600LVG2 and 3x 2GB Corsair CM3X2G1600C9)
Case: Coolermaster 690
Power supply: Corsair TX650 CMPSU-650TX (bought in 2009)
Secondary HDD: 1TB and 500GB. don't remember manufacture or models.
6) Will you be overclocking?
No
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
1900x1080 2x Samsung 23" P2370 Games played on single monitor only
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Would like to order within 2 weeks, But will go on the advice of the forum.
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.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
I'll ready have win 7 Ultimate 64bit,
Based on other posts in the forum figured i would go with the Samsung Evo 250 for the hard drive. Not exactly sure where to go on the video card. I don't have to max settings. I guess the other question is given the age of the power supply should it be replaced as well.
Thanks for the help
