Approximate Purchase Date: 1 - 2 weeks
Budget Range: US $450 - $550 before rebates. I want to keep it closer to 450$ as possible.
System Usage: Primarily Gaming, Graphic Design, Video Editing and recording, Video Playback/Streaming, Video Chatting
Are you buying a monitor: No I will be using a 1080p 32" HDTV as my monitor for the moment so monitor is not needed for cost.
Do you need to buy OS: No I currently have a Windows 7 Home Preimum 64-bit OEM version.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I rather stick to amazon.com and newegg.com as sites because I trust their reliability
Location: United States (no micro-center or computer store near my location wish to stick to online)
Overclocking: I prefer no overclocking to save on cost
SLI or Crossfire: I prefer to stick to single card if necessary
Additional Comments:
I already own a SATA DVD burner and a Rosewill Challenger case (link below) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153 . I am looking for a build that is upgradable for a couple of years as needed. Keyboard and Mouse I also already own and does not need to be upgrade.
Primary games I would be MMORPGs/RTSs and I prefer to play them on highest setting possible for the price point. I will also be using FRAPS and HD Recording and editing in Movie Maker or similar program. 1TB Harddrive or more will be preferred.
I am just having trouble deciding on what will give me the best performance for my price point.
