I'm long overdue for an upgrade to my system and it's time to make this happen. I haven't really kept up with the market so any guidance will be helpful. Thanks in advance.
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
- Primarily gaming followed by Adobe Creative Suite, web browsing, and the occasional video edit.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
-What can I do with $550-$650. I’m currently running a Q6600 with an HD 4890 and looking to upgrade the heart of my system(Video card, CPU/MOBO, RAM, add an SSD)
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
- USA and yes I have access to a Microcenter.
4. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.
- No preference
5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
- Antec P150 Case
- Corsair GS600
- Sony DVD Burner
- WD1600JD (might be able to dump this drive)
- WD7501AALS (might be able to dump this drive)
- Samsung SyncMaster 2494
- Window 7 Home Premium
- Keyboard/Mouse
- Creative speakers
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
- Default
8. What resolution will you be using?
- 1920 x 1080
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
- ASAP
