Approximate Purchase Date: This Month
Budget Range: $850 - $1,200? Before Rebates; After Shipping. Hoping this can include monitor and OS, but its ok if it doesn't.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Mostly gaming, some game recordings (with Fraps), a little video editing, and a little game dev.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Do you need to buy OS: Yes (Windows 7 OEM)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Preferably newegg.com, but I'm fine with other websites.
Location: USE, Utah, Utah County
Parts Preferences: None. Whatever you guys think is the best for the price.
Overclocking: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: No clue. I have not ever dealt with monitors (I've always used a laptop), but nothing crazy high.
Additional Comments: This is going to be my first computer building product. I'm upgrading from a laptop, so I can re-use monitors and stuff.
I'm not really sure about the budget. I want something that can run games like
Borderlands 2 and things like Assassins Creed. But also something that can record game like Minecraft and other indie games (I'm not hoping to record huge triple-a games). So I'm not sure how much I need to pay to get what I want.
Also, do you guys think I can put it together by myself? Or should I find a computer friend to help me?
I know this is a lot to ask for, so thanks in advance for all your help!!!
