Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: this week (the closer the better)
Hi everyone! New to Tom's Hardware but hoping y'all can shed some light on this new build I've been wanting to undertake. The reason is because I have a great Alienware Laptop that I've been looking to sell and upgrade back onto a desktop but in order to sell it I need a working rig first . The only real requirement is that it is a gaming rig first and foremost. I will be building primarily for new Battle Field 4 but I also play MMO's such as WoW and other FPS games that I'd like to see the pretty aspects of!
Budget Range: Around 800 would be ideal, but the cap is 900
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Working full time and Gaming in the offtime (working doesn't require massive system useage hence the importance of gaming)
Are you buying a monitor: No, HDMI/DMI monitors available
Parts to Upgrade: Only part not needed to purchase is HDD or SSD
Do you need to buy OS: Nope
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, amazon, but open to others
Location: City, State/Region, Country - Monterey, CA, USA
Parts Preferences: I'd like to build an intel PC
Overclocking: Maybe but i have no knowledge of how to do so safely
SLI or Crossfire: Mabye but don't plan on it
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080, 1920x1200
Additional Comments: nothing in particular
And Most Importantly, Want to have a good desktop PC ready for when I purchase BF4 in mid November and start playing with friends. Want it to be able to run smoothly
