What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible.
I would like to overclock it and use it for mostly gaming. FPs like Crysis 3/BF4/COD and some MMOs like WOW/GW2/D3
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
$650, I can go over a little bit but cheaper is always better.
When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Ordering this week.
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? OS, peripherals, wifi, in addition to the tower.
Just the tower+core components minus the HDD. Also don't need any optical drives included in the build
Which country will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have a Microcenter?
USA and no Microcenter
If reusing any parts (including peripherals), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
Logitech G510 keyboard & G700 mouse. WD 2 TB 7200 rpm HDD, DVD+RW drive.
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
Some light overclocking right away, maybe more extreme later.
If there's any specific features you want/need from the rig, please list them.
None.
Do you have any specific case preferences such as a window or LEDs, or do you have a preference for low-noise components?
I would like to use the Apevia X-CRUISER3-BL ATX Mid Tower Case
Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS?
Yes, Windows 7 64 bit but I may upgrade to Windows 8 soon after build
Extra info: I would really like to get the FX 8350 or at least the 8320 for this build. I want to do some overclocking so I need to have something other than the stock cooler on the CPU, everyone seems to like the 212 EVO. I also need a PSU thats going to support the overclocking power requirements. Again I need no HDD, monitor, keyboard, mouse, or optical drive included in the build. Thanks in advance!
