Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as possible preferably today

Budget Range: $500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Streaming all the games I play such as CS:GO and DOTA 2/SC2 as well as general use things browsing the internet etc.

Are you buying a monitor: No



Parts to Upgrade: I need everything except the case and the HDD. I dont require a disk drive.

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com or amazon.com
Location: Bridgeport,CT USA

Parts Preferences: Prefer intel but I'm not picky

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: Ill be using the streaming programs OBS or xsplit to stream most of the games I play like CS:GO. I'll also be playing most games that come out in the future like Titanfall, Watch Dogs etc. and would like to play them well atleast at medium or above settings.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My PC gave out after a power surge this morning so I would like to replace it as soon as possible. My old machine was an AMD Phenom II x4 955 black edition @ 3.6 Ghz with a Radeon HD 6770 so i would hope to atleast be upgrading from that.

This is the case and HDD I already own.

Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
