Approximate Purchase Date: Before Black Friday, otherwise, will postpone purchase
Budget Range: $750 or LESS Before Rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Computational simulations (Folding@home)
Parts Not Required: Already have Win 7 Professional; Will buy a monitor on a separate budget, please suggest a resolution for the monitor.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.com, Microcenter
Country of Origin: US
Parts Preferences: AMD Phenom II X4 BE or i5 750; preferably Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, or ASRock for Mobo
Overclocking: Yes, but don't know what to look for when choosing parts
SLI or Crossfire: No, can't afford or plan on getting another gfx card, maybe if there is a good xfire or sli board that fits in the budget.
Monitor Resolution: No monitor, will buy with a separate budget. Please indicate what kind of resolution I can play (Crysis, max settings if possible) at so I can get an appropriate monitor
Additional Comments: Experience assembling, but no experience with overclock. Need help choosing parts for an overclock
There is a Microcenter nearby where I can get the PROCESSOR for cheap.
Would like to build a better system than this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.549053
Willing to skimp out on harddrive and case.
