APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Would love to purchase this in the next month..
BUDGET RANGE: $800 After Rebates
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Surfing the internet, listening to music, watching movies, some basic microsoft office programs, maybe some dj'ing program?
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Speakers, OS
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
PARTS PREFERENCES: N/A
OVERCLOCKING: ?
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1680x1050? (I want a big sized monitor, maybe 20"?, 23"?, but dont necessarily need a top of the line one or the best resolution.)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: If you cant tell, I am rather clueless when it comes to building up a parts list for a computer. In the past, I have just bought a computer from Dell and customized it on the website. I am fortunate enough to have a friend that is willing to build me my computer if I build up the component list for him. I am looking for a fast computer that has no problem surfing the internet, music player, and maybe even a few other programs simultaneously. Who knows, maybe even a game at some point?! I would like the PC to be relatively quiet, but it doesnt have to be silent.
Any help would be much appreciated, I really do not know where to even start. I have been reading through all of the forums and have been learning a lot, but I am not even close to the level of knowledge that I need to be to build my own system.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
