Approximate Purchase Date: Within 20 days
Budget Range: My max budget is $2000, I'd like to stay under that though, maybe between $1500-$1800 unless a couple hundred dollars more would make a sizable difference in gaming.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, maybe dogecoin, streaming, light editing/rendering. I am learning Unity and 3DS Max, but it's just a hobby and not too serious about it.
Are you buying a monitor: Suggest one? I have a fairly new LED monitor, it's cheap and gets me 1080p resolution but if I still have money left in my budget I could get a better one? This is my monitor.
Parts to Upgrade: Everything, except CPU, mouse, keyboard, and monitor. This is the CPU I intend to reuse and think it will last me a couple more years for gaming. i7-2600 3.40GHz
Do you need to buy OS: Yes. Should I upgrade to 8?
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Don't have a preferred website.
Location: I live in Austin, TX
Parts Preferences: Don't have a preference, just whatever is best within my range. However, I have never had any problems with the past couple AMD cards I've bought.
Overclocking: Maybe, but don't know how.
SLI or Crossfire: Yes, I'd like to be able to upgrade in the future so I dont have to rebuild in a couple years.
Your Monitor Resolution: Currently have 1920x1080 and 1440x900 as a second monitor I use to browse internet or multitask when gaming.I do not play games with dual screen, just the 1080 monitor.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I want to be able to play the "next-gen" games on max settings. The Witcher 3, Watch Dogs, Titanfall, WildStar and perhaps get into dogecoin mining when I am not playing. Also, I am learning Unity and 3DS Max.
I appreciate all the help, thanks for taking the time to help me out on what's the best for my money.
