Building a gaming rig. Would prefer to keep it $2000 or less. Must have windows 7. Must have ms office (unless there's some way to uninstall it from the computer I'm using it and install it to a different computer). Monitor advice welcomed if for some reason HYUNDAI W240D Black 24"is not good, b/c that's what I was looking at buying ($340 post S&H on newegg).
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: April 2010
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: pwning n00bs
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: can use old keyboard, mouse, speakers if price is cutting it close, sound card as well.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg I suppose, though any reputable site would do. Would prefer to keep it to 1-2 sites max for S&H reasons. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
PARTS PREFERENCES: I am debating between i5 750 and a newer i7. So far I don't see a difference from the i5 750 and the newer i7s that justifies the price difference, but I haven't done the best of jobs keeping up with them.
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe (as recommended)
MONITOR RESOLUTION: the monitor I mentioned is 1920x1200. If it is suggested that I go with a weaker monitor, the maximum resolution of the monitor may affect whether or not a certain graphics card is worth it or not.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Would appreciate if approximate prices are listed beside parts, as well as speeds where appropriate, for comparison's sake.
