1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Web, Email, GoToMeeting, video playback....no 3d to speak of. I'll need an operating system as well.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread.
Let's say $400, but I'm looking to save even more.
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 Brand Preference.
5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
No current parts.
6. IF YOU have searched and/or read similar threads.
Yes, but they won't be doing any photo editing. I don't even know if they warrant a graphics card. If an OEM system is the answer, does anyone have a suggestion on what to buy?
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
Default speeds.
8. What resolution YOU plan on gaming with.
No gaming, except perhaps Solitaire.
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
As soon as possible.
Web, Email, GoToMeeting, video playback....no 3d to speak of. I'll need an operating system as well.
