Approximate Purchase Date: End of July (around the 29th-31st)
Budget Range: $600.00-700.00usd (After Rebates); no more than $750.00usd (Before Rebates). I'm on a strict budget, so I really can't go over 700 after rebates.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Downloading/Browsing the Internet, Watching Movies, Video Editing with Sony Vegas.
I am mainly buying this computer to play the Sims 3 on. It's the main game I am buying this PC for, so as along as it can handle the Sims 3 on high setting without any real lag (all expansion packs and stuff packs plus tons of custom content), then it would be perfect.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, but that's not included in this budget. I already know the monitor I want and already have other funds for it. It's ASUS VH238H 23-Inch 1080P LED Monitor with Integrated Speakers.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes. I want a Windows 7 (64-bit) system.
Location: McComb, MS
Parts Preferences: by brand or type: Since the Sims 3 relies heavily on the CPU, I would really love to get a i5 or an i7, as high as it can fit into my budget. I would also like to get either a Geforce GTX 650ti or 660 or something equivalent. Those should be able to handle the Sims 3. I will be updating my graphics card in the future, maybe by next year to a more powerful one, but for now this should do just fine. Although, I would like to be able to do some updates with ease without having to build a whole new pc. I also want at least 8GB of Ram, with room to upgrade to at least 16GB of Ram in the future. I also need at least 500GB of storage, but the more the better. Edit: I forgot I also need a mouse and keyboard and a wireless adapter.
Overclocking: No.
SLI or Crossfire: No.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1080P
Thank you in advance.
