Approximate Purchase Date: In a week or two. I might wait and buy parts when they are on sale.
Budget Range: (e.g.: 300-400) Around $300 BEFORE rebates. The budget is a bit flexible, but I would like the cheapest possible before rebates since I've had a bad experience with them.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Light gaming. Minecraft, League of Legends,
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, but not included in the budget. I would still like recommendations though.
Parts to Upgrade: Everything.
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I prefer to buy everything off Newegg. However, this may be a bit too picky. Would be best to limit it to Newegg and Amazon, could try NCIX if their prices are better.
Location: San Francisco, California
Parts Preferences: None.
Overclocking: Probably not.
SLI or Crossfire: NO
Your Monitor Resolution: Plan on getting a 1080p monitor since the prices are close, if not cheaper, than other lower resolutions. 1080p seems like the sweet spot right now.
Additional Comments: Looks isn't a problem. Noise isn't much of a problem either. Just looking for the best bang/buck that can max out League on 1080p.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I'm moving to college and my laptop sucks.
I was thinking about this:
