Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP
Budget Range: 600-1000 (cheaper the better
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Emulation/Gaming, HTPC, Browsing
Parts Not Required: Mouse, kb, Monitor
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, (anything else you suggest)
Country of Origin: USA/NJ
Parts Preferences: Intel preferred, im ok with AMD if you really think it better suites me. Looking for a reasonable SSD price/performance
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Yes / Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1920/1080
Additional Comments:
-I am heavy into emulation and the reason I am even thinking i7 is to due to the poorly written software on some of the emulators. The better hardware makes up for the poorly coded software.
-Additionally I would prefer an HTPC case but I realize this doesnt go hand and hand with a gaming capable pc. I am ok with a case that lays sideways unlike a tower, ultimately I really just want it to fit into my entertainment center like a DVD player or VCR would.
- As far as media goes, I will make my current system a server to host the 10 of files I have and ill stream everything over a hardwired gigabit network.
If i have to go over 1k for whatever reason (as long as it makes sense) Ill do it.
Thanks for your help and I am open to suggestions!
