Approximate Purchase Date: In about 3 months or so

Budget Range: $650-950 after tax and OS

System Usage from Most to Least Important:Gaming, Surfing Web

Are you buying a monitor: Yes



Parts to Upgrade: All components needed because its a new PC being built

Do you need to buy OS: Yes, probably win 8.1


Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com

Location: Dallas, Texas, United States

Parts Preferences: Intel i5 CPU; preferably AMD GPU for the non-strict crossfire

Overclocking: Probably not

SLI or Crossfire: Im planning to use only on GPU, but I might add another later, so possibly crossfire

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080

Additional Comments: I would like it to run games like World of Warcraft, League of Legends, BattleField 3 and 4, and other games like those (realistic shooters, MMORPGs, and MOBAs, etc.) and I would also like to run my minecraft server on the PC. I would like to be able to run games like these on the best settings, well

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I am upgrading to a whole new PC because my older one couldn't handle some of the games I was running

PS, I would like a pretty good GPU, since the main use of this pc is going to be gaming possibly something like GIGABYTE GV-R928XOC-3GD Radeon R9 280X 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
