Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next month
Budget Range: about $600, After Rebates, Before Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, streaming movies, watching blu-rays
Are you buying a monitor: No, I plan to hook this up to my 1080p, 40" TV
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, but this doesn't need to be included in the price.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: amazon, newegg
Location: Chicago, IL USA
Parts Preferences: the best for the money
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe (What does this get me? Sorry, new to PC building)
Your Monitor Resolution: 40" 1080p TV
Additional Comments: A quiet PC would be nice as it will be in my living room.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My PS3 died and I think PC gaming is the way I want to go.
I put this together on PC part picker, but I'm not sure if this is a good build or if I'm making dumb choices.
