Hey all, I threw up a thread quite a while ago asking for some support in picking out parts (don't keep up to date as much anymore due to time constraints), looks like I may need it again, please and thank you!
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming, CS5-6, Programming + 3DS Max/Maya
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
I was thinking something around $1,200. Would go up to $1,400 to get some more power.
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
New Hampshire (May be a Microcenter in Massachusetts for me to use, if so, I'll go there for deals).
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.
I do need everything, but I'll list it out for specifics:
- Monitor (see below question)
- Motherboard (Does not need to be SLI/CFX capable, not a fan of the concept)
- GPU (Any chance of squeezing in a 670 or 7970?)
- CPU (Would prefer Intel, heavily. A sandy bridge (if cheaper) is fine, like a 2500K. If Ivy is on par price wise, I'd be down for that as well))
- CPU Cooling (I'd like aftermarket)
- RAM (8GB Minimum)
- CD/DVD Tray (If Blu-Ray cheaper/on sale, would prefer that)
- One ~300-500GB HDD / One 128-256GB SSD (if possible price-wise)
- PSU (a solid amount, best one possible price-wise)
- Case (best airflow, lights not necessary, but not against them. would prefer a case that allows easy access to cables and upgrades)
- Any additional fans or other accessories
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Not reusing anything.
6) Will you be overclocking?
Wouldn't be opposed to it..
7) 7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
Need a monitor, was thinking 1920x1080/1200 (Had a Hanns-G 27.5" monitor a while back, it's only $250, may think about getting that, here's a link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254093). Would not be opposed to a solid, cheaper, 24" monitor.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Late this week, early next week.
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.
Does not need SLI or Crossfire support, I doubt I'll be doing more than one card. UEFI would be nice.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Yes, Windows 7 - 64 Bit
