APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Soon - Within a week or two
BUDGET RANGE: (e.g.: 600-800): $1500 after rebates
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Exclusively gaming
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: (e.g.: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS): Keyboard / mouse, monitor, speakers are not required. I have a spare EA650 Antec PSU (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371015&cm_re=Antec_EA650-_-17-371-015-_-Product) but am willing to kick it to the curb it if it can't be worked into an optimal build.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg, and I live near to a MicroCenter if there's a good deal to be found there.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
PARTS PREFERENCES: by brand or type: No particular brand or type preferences
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe (Fully open to it but have no specific plans)
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe (Likewise to overclocking)
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Currently operating with a 1680x1050 display, but plan to upgrade to 1920x1080 a little later, separate from this build budget.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Basically I'm completely comfortable with the physical construction of my PC, but rather overwhelmed doing research on how I'll get the best bang for my buck. This machine is meant exclusively for gaming, along the lines of Starcraft II, DoW2, online FPS gaming, and MMOs like Warhammer Online, FFXIV, and eventually Guild Wars 2. $1500 is my maximum budget, but I'm not at all opposed to going under budget if I'd otherwise be spending money for the sake of it, nor am I opposed to spending a *little* over if it's worthwhile!
I should also add that I'd be happy to add an SSD if it fits naturally into my budget (I expect it doesn't), but I'd rather maximize the potential:money ratio otherwise and think about an SSD down the line.
Anyway, I hate throwing myself out here asking other people to come up with my parts list, but I figure getting specific advice for my purposes from knowledgable folks is the optimal place to start. Thanks!
