General Questions
1) What is your budget?
$2500 but could possibly push it to $3000. This price must include the monitor.
2) What size desktop would you prefer?
Large I guess
a. Compact (Think Mac Mini)
b. Mainstream (Think average Dell)
c. Large (Think gamer's desktop)
d. All-In-One (Think iMac)
3) Please select your country's flag as a post icon and tell us what country are you buying this in. (Since Flags do not appear to be working right now, just state what country.)
USA
4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
No brand. Mainly looking to get the most out of my $ from a vendor with a good reputation of quality work and good warranty.
5) What tasks will you be performing with the desktop?
Gaming and web browsing, movies
6) Will you be playing games on it; if so, which games?
Right now mainly Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 but I would like to venture into more demanding PC games such as BF:4
7) Do you mind buying online without seeing the desktop in person?
Nope that's fine with me.
8) What OS do you prefer? Windows (XP or Vista or 7), Mac OS, Linux, etc.
Windows 7
Build Quality and Design
9) Are the desktop's looks and stylishness important to you?
It's always a plus but not a deal breaker.
10) When are you buying this desktop and how long do you want this desktop to last?
I'd like the computer to be fine for at least the next 2-3 years without making and upgrades but I would like to have the option to make upgrades down the road should the need rise.
Desktop Components
11) How much hard drive space do you want; 40GB to 2TB?
I'd prefer a smaller 256GB SSD for the OS and some games and a larger 1TB HDD
12) Do you need an optical drive? If yes, a CDRW/DVD-ROM, a DVD Burner, a Blu-Ray-R drive or a Blu-Ray burner?
Blu-ray drive is fine
13) Have you entertained the idea of building your own?
Yes I have but I'm not confident in my ability. Even trying to configure a system together on iBuyPower I'm finding it difficult to choose what to get between the best type of Case, CPU, power supply, motherboard, or cooling system. Only thing I know is I want an Nvidia 780 with the ability to maybe go dual GPU down the road? Is that possible or is that something you have to get from the start? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
