Hello guys, Im new here so I hope Im doing this right. Ive been away from computers/gaming a good 3 years now and Im trying to get back into it again. So I said, why not build my own PC (Ive always used laptops). So here's what I have so far:
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/jsfd26/saved/n89v6h
Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as I get everyone's opinion on this.
Budget Range: $1500-2000 NOT including peripherals.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies
Do you need to buy an OS?: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: The one offering the part for the cheapest.
Location: Clearwater, FL
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Yes
Your Monitor Resolution: Not sure
Additional Comments: Im pretty much set on the CPU. Dont wanna turn this into an Intel vs AMD discussion. I think Im also pretty set on the GPU. I was told it was the best bang for your buck out there. Unless someone has a different opinion? Im not very familiar with some of these parts on my build. Parts such as sound card, network adapter, storage, optical drive, power supply. In other words, 90% of my build. So, this is why Im asking for opinions/suggestions. My bro recommended Windows 7 cause I guess he doesnt like Windows 8?
If you guys have any suggestions about certain parts that will save me money or anything in general please feel free to let me know. Thank you.
