APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: 1-2 weeks
BUDGET RANGE: $800-1,000
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming (MMO's (Aion/WoW)), surfing the internet, word processing
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, OS, and Speakers
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg.com
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: US
PARTS PREFERENCES: Need best bang for the buck
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: More than likely
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1680x1050
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I know how to put together computers, but never built one from scratch. I don't know a whole lot about...well everything that matters. Such as, the graphics card type, PSU wattage, overclocking, and motherboard/processor compatibility (I am assuming there are plenty of combo deals out there).
I have talked with a few friends, and they say that going the SLI/Crossfire route would be better than getting one higher end graphics card. I am familiar with the setup, but do not know anything as to which brand of graphics card is better to go with.
Any other help is greatly appreciated. I will try to answer any questions you guys have as quickly as possible.
