APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: This week
BUDGET RANGE: Up to $2,500 for the PC
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Hi, I'm building a fulltime web development machine, so this PC is about maximizing speed, quiet, and with a big display at the center-- I plan to order a new Dell 3008 30 inch monitor. I can justify spending extra money on quality parts for this machine as I will be on it 10 hours a day or more, and don't want to deal with problems. (Along those lines I'm worried about liquid cooling) I will use the 30 inch for blueray movies as well. Programming/web development, internet, movies, some gaming.
I was about to buy a Dell XPS 730 but they canceled the series.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, speakers, Dell 3008 monitor
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: (e.g.: newegg.com, amazon.com) COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
PARTS PREFERENCES: Intel i5 processor, want high quality components and a case and motherboard that will last a few builds. I'm tired of buying entirely new machines from Dell every 2.5 years.
OVERCLOCKING: No
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: I think so, to max the monitor performance
MONITOR RESOLUTION: (2560 x 1600 ?)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I want SSD for the primary drive. Also, managing heat and quiet is important.
