1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Highend gaming, internet browsing, Itunes, steam etc.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
Lets say between $1500 & $1700
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
Canada, will probebly purchase from Canadacomputers or Tiger Direct both have locations in my city
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.
After doing a little research, I am assuming Intel is still on top for processors. Am leaning towards AMD as they seem to be better bang for your buck
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
I have a 1TB hardrive with all my media that I will be using.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
Not much of a computer expert but good chances I will be doing a little bit of overclocking to take full advantage of the 4770k. I don't plan on getting any aftermarket cooling. Nothing too drastic here
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
22" monitor so probably just 1600 × 1200
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Probably sometime in November unless I should wait until next year? Is there new tech coming anytime soon?
10. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
Just Windows
