Hi guys, just wanted to get some advice for a new build I'm planning to do in August/Sept when school starts up again!
I'm pretty much flexible for everything: SSD for boot drive is a consideration. I haven't been quite following the computer scene for a bit now so please enlighten me! (last build was a Q6600 =P)
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Early September
BUDGET RANGE: Ideally $1200 - $1300, but abs max of no more than $1500 after taxes/before rebates (unless you can convince me that I just gotta have it)
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, Movies, Programming, Multitask
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor (I could use another one though, currently got a 23' Acer)
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.ca, ncix.com, tigerdirect.ca, canadacomputers.com (essentially anything in Canada.. if I can attain all parts locally a ++!)
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Canada (ontario specifically)
PARTS PREFERENCES: Intel CPU... best bang for buck GPU/RAM(s)
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080 (2 monitors possible)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: It would be a bonus if my computer doesn't sound like a jet-engine at all times.
