Approximate Purchase Date: foreseeable future, I'm sorry that I can't really be more specific
Budget Range:ranges from 400 to 900 euro (e.g.: 300-400) after rebates and shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, internet, watching movies, general household usage
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Location: Ghent, Belgium
Parts Preferences: brand doesn't really matter
Overclocking: probably not, but if it's possible, then yes
SLI or Crossfire: no
Your Monitor Resolution: 1440x900 this or near enough
Additional Comments: Looks are not that important to me, but I do simple sleek cases.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: The current pc of the household was bought in a hurry a few years back by my mom. It's a hp oem (pavilion 500 or near enough). And even though it never was very powerful, it could run what I wanted. But lately it's has begun slowing down immensely and it experienced a number of crashes and safe boot ups. So because the inevitable end is coming I wanted to be prepared when it happens. So I can build a new one that is way better for (about) the same amount of money. I also want to prevent my mother from making the same mistake again.
I already did some research myself but I can definitely use some help. And I know this build is over budget (not that I really have a set budget yet) and it might not be the best choice in components. But hey that is also why I am looking for help from more experienced people.
