Hi, everyone.

I don't have any knowledge about how to build a PC or what parts to get -been reading lots of reviews lately but to no avail- so here is me asking for help.

Approximate Purchase Date: Within 1-3 months

Budget Range: $900 is max. -with or without the monitor depends on you really-

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Working, Movies

Are you buying a monitor: Yes

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Conrad, Asbis -also has a Turkish site-,Yenicarsim -fully Turkish site-

Location: Istanbul, Turkey

Parts Preferences: I don't have any brands in my mind.

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: No

Your Monitor Resolution: I have one with 1280*1024 resolution -it is an old LCD- but will also purchase another one, probably widescreen but not sure about the resolution. 1366*768 seems nice.

Additional Comments: I am mostly using translation programs and Photoshop. I am playing WoW, Dota 2, Path of Exile in my spare time but I am also trying to play the latest games -my laptop doesn't let me and I am yet to try Crysis 3, CoH 2-. Honestly I want to be able to play games without them getting choppy. Oh, please I want to use a silent PC before I die.

Why Are You Upgrading: I have switched to a laptop almost two years ago however I like to play games in my spare time and my laptop doesn't live up to that expectation. I am currently using a Toshiba Satellite C660D -school-issued laptop and I carry it everywhere-. I also have to read long and I mean really long texts -lecture notes, contracts, expertise reports etc.- and I need to compare them with various sources and I am translationg texts in my "other" spare time. So I will be using two monitors to easily do all of this -alt+tabbing everytime to the other text and then back to other one is pretty boring to be honest and while I have the chance I want a second monitor-. You might say that I can do this on the laptop aswell but you can't imagine how hot and slow the laptop gets after a few hours of usage even with a decent cooler.

Sorry for the wall of text and thanks in advance.

I'm a bit short on time so I probably won't be able to respond to this post but it maybe a good idea to list sites (assuming you know some) where you normally would buy from so it can act as a bit of a guide on prices.
