Approximate Purchase Date: over the next 3 months
Budget Range: $500 - $1000 USD
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies
Are you buying a monitor: Yes / a second smaller screen for other tasks, I will be using a 70” sharp tv using a HDMI connection as my primary.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I can order online and get parts locally at fry’s electronics
Location: washington, America
Parts Preferences: I want to keep the GPU I have selected. Built it around it and don’t want to bottle neck it too much.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe/ in a year or 2 when I need to get that extra boost.
Your Monitor Resolution: honestly I am open to this..
Additional Comments: I have been using a laptop I bought in 2010 and it is getting overwhelmed with what I am asking of it(it is taking it like a champ so far). I primarily play WOT right now but I will eventually move onto other games. This rig is a bit more then I had anticipated and am looking to slim it down a bit but not bottle neck too badly. Also I want to know if I made any errors in parts. I am fairly unfamiliar with self builds.
On a side note I don’t know what case is going to be big enough to hold the GPU, I have read some reviews saying it was a decently lengthy card.
