Approximate Purchase Date:Today or tomorrow
Budget Range: 1000$
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming is about all I will use this for
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: Whole new system
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: All are fair game
Location: Pittsburgh, PA (Microcenter located about 2 hrs away so I am game for making a road trip to save some money)
Parts Preferences: Intel i7 for future proofing and at least a GTX 770 gpu. Ideally would like to get 770 or better card.I also would like to get a SSD drive for the OS and games to help improve loading times. My current PC takes entirely too long to load maps in BF4, etc.
Overclocking: Maybe. Given that the prices for the K version are not that much more than the locked versions, I think it makes most sense to get a K and then fiddle around with overclocking down the road.
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Will be used to play FPS mainly, especially BF4.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My old gaming Pc is struggling with BF4 (<30fps) and I want to enjoy smooth gaming again. I currently am using an AMD 9950 Quad core (2.6GHz) with 8GB RAM and a GTX 560Ti.
