1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Gaming, mostly MMO's, other RPG's and FPS's--I like to run on the highest setting possible.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
$1200-1600, but just looking to get the most for my money, if that means going lower quality for what I'm using it for based on expert's recommendations, then so be it.
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
US of A
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.
Would prefer intel core i5 or i7 and nvidia graphics
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
probably just my power supply - 850w truepower quattro
also have geforce GTX 560ti, but probably not worth saving at this point
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
Haven't ever O/C'd before, but would like to have the option.
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
Probably 1920 x 1080 to begin with, but would like capability of 2560 x 1440 and also 4k territory in the future
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.
Probably around Christmas to early Jan 2015
X. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
Will just use my copy of windows 7 until windows 10 comes out--does windows 7 have RAM limitations on what it will recognize? Probably run 8 gig for now, but maybe 16 in the future depending on recommendations
