1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Gaming, MMO's, FPS and RPGs.. highest possible settings.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
about $800-900 tops.. less would be better.
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
USA
4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from.
We can't be expected to scour the internet on your behalf, chasing down deals in your specific country... Again, help us, help YOU.
n/a
5. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.
Intel I5 or I7 and nvidia graphics, unless if there's an radeon with the same performance that can save me a lot.
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
I upgraded my power supply, I have a slower rpm ssd 170gb that I put windows on, as well as other storage regular drives. I'd possibly like a new SSD. I have a Gefore GTX 660 TI that i'd like to hold onto for a bit longer. I also have a case and a 1000W power supply. I'm in need of a new mother board, cpu and memory (16gb) and possibly a ssd. I don't think I'm missing anything else.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
I have OC'd my Q600 from 2.4 to 3ghz, overclocking can be fun.. but it's not needed.
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
I have two 1920X1080 22" monitors that I am happy with.
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Note that it is usually not cost or time effective to choose your build more than a month before you actually plan to be using it.
I'd like it before christmas.
X. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
Nope, I can handle that myself.
