Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: this week (the closer the better)
Budget Range: $650 After Rebates; After Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Most important is Gaming. I want something that will run certain games on high or higher if possible. Namely: Battlefield 4, Guild Wars 2, The Division (can only speculate on specs, I know), and some other games bound for PC like Dark Souls 2 and more. Also, I want to use this as a media center, streaming stuff to devices and my Samsung Smart TV. Finally, I do personal projects involving Adobe suite stuff and video editing. I want to make clear though that I don't really need professional workplace level render times. I currently make do with a system that is probably far less advanced than what you'll suggest, but I figured I should mention it just in case.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: New Build
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Amazon, Micro Center, any reputable site.
Location: City, State/Region, Country - Los Angeles area, California
Parts Preferences: No preference.
Overclocking: Don't know much about it, so probably not.
SLI or Crossfire: Whatever gives me the best performance for my money.
Additional Comments: Quiet and Cool would be appreciated, but as long as it doesn't sound like a jet turbine, and catch fire in the Summer, I'll be happy.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Preparing for the new string of games I'm expecting to come out on PC. Also, looking forward to having a nice media center.
Thanks for the help.
