I plan on having it built by September. I plan on going crossfire with it if I need more graphics performance. I also plan on adding more RAM later on down the road. I am not really sure if the 850w PSU is necessary or not. I wasn't sure if I would need that much power for crossfire or not.
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. It will be used mostly for gaming. It will be hooked up to another display to use for media (music, netflix, hulu, youtube).
2. What YOUR budget is. Don't really have a true budget set. The cheaper the better. I will be buying parts as I go. Plan on purchasing stuff that the technology will not be changing first (Case, PSU, DVD Drive etc.)
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from. USA
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. No preference
5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are. I have 2 x 1TB HDDs I will be using.
6. IF YOU have searched and/or read similar threads. Yes
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds. Overclocking some.
8. What resolution YOU plan on gaming with. 1920 x 1080
