Hi folks,
Had good luck over in Win XP forum, this should be a blast!
I have read till I am totally confused and doubting my sanity to attempt my own build. I built model cars when I was a kid, can't be harder than that right!!, kidding
Approximate Purchase Date: As soon a practically possible.
Budget Range: 1000-1300 ballpark
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Web, light office such as Quickbooks.
Parts Not Required: KB,Mouse, Card reader I'd like to use if possible, CRT monitor but can borrow one to save$$ for now.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, but not set in stone.
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: I like Intell, can't say why
Overclocking: Never have, possibly something to consider
SLI or Crossfire: Good option to have
Monitor Resolution: In the dark here for now.
Additional Comments: I need an OS Win 7, understand from the forums I need 64 bit for ram use?? does it matter if its home premium ??
1: Unsure about CPU cooling, case,gpu at this point
2: Would my old CRT still work with an adapter? or to outdated?
3: I have a like 5in 1 card reader. Can I still use this for my SD cards?
I will try to add my tentative parts:
