I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to building PCs. Thus, this will be my first build. I'd appreciate your help GH!
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Mostly gaming and web browsing. But I want something that can play HQ video as well.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$1000, +/- $200, not including shipping or tax.
3) Where do you live?
Alaska. For now.
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.
I need everything.
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 any parts.
6) Will you be overclocking?
Shouldn't be but I'm not too aware of exactly what this means.
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
at least 20' LCD.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
ASAP
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
No need for any special features.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? 32bit or 64bit?
No, I plan on purchasing Windows 7. But accepting other suggestions.
I'm trying to do my research and learn as much about which hardware will work together that way I don't have to come back here and bother you fine people every time I want a new build or upgrade.
