Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, tigerdirect.com, other websites are fine but these are just what I'm familiar with.
Country of Origin: United States of America
Parts Preferences: I have been partial to Intel and Nvidia, but realise my budget is low so I'll take what I can get.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: at least 1280x1024
Additional Comments: My old Dell laptop I've had for years finaly quit on me unexpectantly this morning. Got some major Inventor assignments due for college soon and need a decent computer up and running. I had plans on saving up and building a pure gaming PC, which is why I have the case already, so I would like it to be good enough to handle what I've currently listed and be upgradable over time. My current budget is maxed at $600 and I'm having a hard time figuring out a good build for that price. I can get Windows 7 Professsional for free through a program at college. I will need a wirless card; I'm not allowed to run ethernet cables through my current residence. Any and all help/advice/builds will be greatly appreciated. Let me know if I missed any important information that will be needed, I think I covered as much as I can though. Thanks in advance!
