Hi everyone, this is my first post on TH, but I have been a fan and user of reviews and advice from this place for years. I am now posting on the forums for some advice in a new system I am looking to build. I have looked and looked and looked but there is so many options out there that I do not know what works together and what doesn't now a days. The last system(s) I built were back in the day when the P4's had "Hyperthreading" and then I later built an althlon 64 system. Reading over the past few months I have come to realize that everything has pretty much shifted ties and is almost the opposite of way back when. I am currently in the process of redeploying back to the United States from Iraq and am interested in building a new system. So if anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Here is the form filled out below:
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Within a month.
APPROXIMATE BUDGET: Around $1,500
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming and everyday use.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard/Mouse, Speakers/Headset nothing peripheral need really.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg.com is preferred, but I am not basis to any other sites. I would just prefer them be mainly from one site.
PARTS PREFERENCES: I am not sure on what I really want to use an AMD or Intel based system, I have used both and like both.
OVERCLOCKING: YES
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Yes, but not included in the initial build.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1680x1050 or better preffered.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Would like a case with a window, but doesn't need to be required. Nothing a little modding the case can't take care of.
Thanks to everyone in Advanced for helping me out,
Derrick
