I have decided to make the jump from console to PC, Id like a computer that can max out all modern games, and play them at stable frame rate ( Would like a gfx card from 7900 series, since it comes with crysis 3 and bio shock infinite

Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: This Month

Budget Range: 1000 before rebates, could go to 1200 or so if it will significantly help my experience

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Listening to music, School work

Are you buying a monitor: Yes, already have a 19 inch dell, that i plan to use to dual screen YouTube while gaming


Parts to Upgrade: No parts i can use, starting fresh

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, tigerdirect, outletpc, have a microcenter around me to get a 3570k

Location: Santa Clarita, California, USA

Parts Preferences: Intel cpu

Overclocking: Possibly, know what it is, but don't know how

SLI or Crossfire: Not at the moment

Your Monitor Resolution: Whatever will work best for gaming

Additional Comments: Would like a cool case, and a 1tb or more hdd

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Because right now i have a laptop with AMD E-350, 1.6ghz processor, and integrated graphics, plus 2gb of ram

Thanks Guys
