Approximate Purchase Date: April

Budget Range: 1500-1600

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Videos, Web surfing

Are you buying a monitor: I need info on whether my 75 hz monitor ASUS VH236H would be good for gaming, if you would recommend a monitor include it within the budget

Do you need to buy OS: Yes, preferably 8.1

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, amazon.com

Location: Allentown, Pennsylvania, United States of America

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: No

Additional Comments: I would like to have a quite, fast, gaming computer that will last a good couple years.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current desktop can't run any of the games that I want too (upcoming titanfall, payday 2, call of duty, and battlefield 4). Also, I would like this build to last 2-5 years (preferably higher).
