What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible.
Gaming (Skyrim, possibly Elder Scrolls Online, League of Legens). Photo editing and graphic design (Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign, maybe Adobe Illustrator in the future). Web browsing & game playing (Roll20, redditing, blogging, nothing special).
-----
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
Maximum budget will be US $600-$700.
-----
Which country will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have a Microcenter?
United States. Northern Virginia. There is a Micro Center ~30 mins and also ~1 hour away from me.
-----
When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Buying and building hopefully within the next two weeks.
-----
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? OS, peripherals, wifi, in addition to the tower.
Everything except for the mouse, keyboard, and one monitor. OS - Windows 7 preferred (probably going to get this via /r/SoftwareSwap on reddit). I have 1 monitor Acer S201HL, but would want another. Duplicate monitor or larger monitor is ideal.
-----
If reusing any parts (including peripherals), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
Reusing Logitech wireless mouse (unsure of model) and keyboard (K120). Also reusing Razer Carcharias headset. 1 monitor Acer S201HL, but would want another. Duplicate monitor or larger monitor is ideal. *Side Note: I will be upgrading my mouse and keyboard in the future. It is not currently a concern.*
-----
Will you be overclocking?
No.
-----
If there's any specific features you want/need from the rig, please list them.
As said above, Windows 7 if possible (probably going to get this via /r/SoftwareSwap on reddit). Lighter case for easier transport is preferred. Gfx card allowing the hookup of a third monitor in the future.
-----
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 prefer to have a window. LEDs (pink, purple, or white) are okay if I can turn them off. I would prefer it be quieter, but that isn't a huge deal.
-----
Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
No.
