First and foremost - Thanks.
This forum and responses I have read so far are great.
I am in the situation of having to upgrade. I really have not kept up on anything over the past 3 years.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE:Within 1-2 weeks.
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming - This is going to be a game only system. I will use my current PC for all the "junk" stuff I do.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: I have a monitor I will use in the short term (19 in LCD) - but in the long term will go bigger and better.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: No Preference - It's all about the $ but a little convenience is nice if can get all from one site.
PARTS PREFERENCES: No Preference. Always used Nvidia & AMD before - but I have no emotional attachment to anything.
OVERCLOCKING: No - Maybe in desperation later on.
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Either - one card for now but build to add one later.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080++ in the future. Might look into a box or monitor that can show 2 systems or switch between two- again in the future.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: My only preference really is that it is open for upgrades. Drop in a 2nd card, upgrade chip, add memory is what I would expect to do over the next few years.
Also - I'll need to get some version of windows. I still have XP Pro and have held onto it with a death grip. I don't like a stage show in my OS - it is just an OS, I didn't buy a PC to use "windows" I bought it to use the apps I purchase - call me crazy I guess. So for me light and fast is what I want out of the OS - as little non-functional bells and whistles, but I'm not sure if that is even an option anymore.
Again truly thanks.
