1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc

Gaming, Browsing, general use
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$1000-1500 shipping included (no tax)
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
USA, APO AE. 09603 Overseas. Newegg ships here.
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
Case and all internals. No OS.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Keyboard, mouse, monitor, OS.
6) Will you be overclocking?
I'd like to. Could be a later change though. Don't include aftermarket heatsink unless it fits in the price range.
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
720p 32" tv main screen, 1080p side screen 23 monitor
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Between now and the 14th.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video? etc.
Would like Xfire or SLI, but not required by any means.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Yes, 64bit Win7 Pro. Got a deal on two cheap licenses about 6 months ago, currently using one of the two :)

Would like an SSD included if possible. I have multiple sources of external storage, but I would require enough space for steam/games, 256gb would be more than enough space for OS/Games

NP.

Post a final build list when you're ready to buy if you want another pair of eyes on it.
 
Buy your stuff from Amazon. Newegg can suck my balls because they charge an arm and a leg to ship to APOs.
