1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Gaming. It's for my brother and he does some gaming on his PC and is looking to make a big jump from his current piece of crap he's been using for years now.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
$900-1200 tax-in I would say, probably. He's willing to budge a little around that so it's not like it's 100% concrete.
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
Canada. Looking to get the parts locally from CanadaComputers (www.canadacomputers.com) - most of their prices seem competitive so it shouldn't be a *huge* issue if people could link the parts from THAT website it would be a huge deal.
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, etc, etc, you get the picture.
Doesn't care.
5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
None.
