I really appreciate everyone pitching to help such a newbie!
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Hopefully in a month if I feel educated and brave enough to try.
BUDGET RANGE: $500-$800 Before / Rebates
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: 95% at home gaming--do not have high speed internet to game on internet and live in boonies. Then surfing and email. Maybe a little photo shop on some pics.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED :keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers
**Include Power Supply Make & Model If Re-using** Will need power supply
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: any reliable web site like Newegg or Tiger Direct. etc.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Do not know what to put here
PARTS PREFERENCES: I don't know enough to have a preference but already have a monitor, speakers, basics.
Prefer a full tower case
OVERCLOCKING: I have to Google this to find out what it is but I guess I would for gaming?
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: I have to Google this to find out what it is but I guess I would for gaming?
MONITOR RESOLUTION: What would be recommended? Right now I think mine is 1280 X 1024......
(e.g.: 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1200)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I mostly want tp play some older games I have but don't work on anything and some of the newer first person type games. I have a fairly good joystick and love to fly military type aircraft both fixed and helos.
We only have Hughs satellite internet which really, really sucks but is the best we can get here so I can't stream anything without being put on restriction all the time.
