Approximate Purchase Date: 30 days
Budget Range: (e.g.: 3000-3500) Before / After Rebates; Before / After Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Gaming - BF4/WoW/Steam
Picture storage, i have about 1TB now
Need good external drive to for backups
Are you buying a monitor: No (but starting to consider upgrading my 24 inch)
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com,, amazon, whatever is cheapest
Location: Monroe, LA USA
Parts Preferences: INTEL, EVGA, NVIDIA
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: SLI
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 (i think, i'm at work will check when i get home)
Additional Comments: Might not upgrade montiro now, but want ability to upgrade to duals in the future
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My xps 730 is 4 or 5 years old, q9450 and GTX 560ti can't really play BF4, my disk drives are out of space, and my pc can really only do ONE thing at a time. I would like to play BF4 at max settings and if i add another monitor, browse the web or watch a video without fear of running out of resources
This will be my ONE SHOT to upgrade for 5 more years. My wife is extremly frugal and if i spend 2k or 4k this year, this is it for 5 years. spending 2k this year and 2k in two years is not going to happen for me. Most likely in 3 years i will sneak in a video card upgrade as i did with my xps.
i need a flat topped case as that is what i rest my arm on and where my mouse goes.
In my mind i want:
PU: i7 4770K
CPU Cooler: ?
Graphics Card: GTX 780 3BG super clocked
Graphics Card: GTX 780 3BG super clocked
Motherboard:?
Case: ?
SSD: ?
HDD: 2TB +?
PSU: ?
OS: windows 8 or 7? i don't care
RAM: 16GB?
Optical Drive: ?
media reader for camera's and what not
If budget permits, maybe new monitor upgrades above 24 inch? (may or maynot do this)
Thanks.
