APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Week of Thanksgiving (2 weeks from now)
BUDGET RANGE: $1000 (before rebates). There's about $90 or so in flexibility currently.
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, like everyone else on the planet.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Monitor*, Mouse, Keyboard
*Willing to upgrade my monitor, though I will have to get back to you guys on what it is.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg.
PARTS PREFERENCES: Intel, though I'm not really that choosy.
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe, though for now I'd like to build it before I mess with overclocking. One rock at a time.
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Someone explain to me what it is D:
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Will get back to you.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I've never built a computer before. Would prefer something that's not going to require me to be really good to build. ><
Also, I think all of it works together but don't make too much fun of me if I made some silly "oh this doesn't works" mistake. =(
