GF wants a new computer, I havent kept up with hardware lately so need suggestions, so without further ado...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
School work, movie/tv streaming, and gaming.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$1,000 including tax, less would be better
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
Las Vegas, NV
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.
CPU, MB, RAM, HD, GPU, CPU cooler, PSU, case.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
DVD drive.
6) Will you be overclocking?
Nope.
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
1080p 30"
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Within the next 7-10 days.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.
Nothing specific.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
No, will need a new OS, she and I are both students if that helps with finding a deal.
Any and all suggestions appreciated, thanks in advance!
