I have read several of the guides here, and I'm having a rough time compiling a list of parts, so I was hoping ya'll could help me out.
Approximate Purchase Date: Sometime this week. No sooner than 1/10.
Budget Range: $500 USD before rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Primarily gaming, surfing the interweb, minor word files, etc.
Parts Not Required: I currently don't have mouse, keyboard, or monitor for a desktop. These items do not need to be included in the price range mentioned. Any recommendations regarding these products would be appreciated though!
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No real preference here, other than websites with proven track records.
Country of Origin: United States
Parts Preferences: by brand or type: Again, no real preference here.
Overclocking: Maybe. I haven't done much research regarding overclocking, but it is something that I am definitely interested in based on my current knowledge.
SLI or Crossfire: No.
Monitor Resolution: Not very sure on this one, and this also raises another question that I have. I currently have a 42" 1080p tv (1920x1080) (More tech specs on the TV can be found here: http://www.vizio.com/vw42lfhdtv10a.html), and I was curious if this would be suitable for a monitor (instead of purchasing a new monitor). I normal sit around 7 feet from the TV, and im not quite sure how internet,desktops, or games would appear on a larger screen.
Additional Comments: This is my first build. I'm very excited to give this all a go, so any advice/personal experiences are more than welcome. I play games similar to WoW, and really want this computer to play the upcoming star wars game. I'd also like this computer to remain viable for roughly two years (until I finish college and get my career started). I really do not have any hardware preferences, and I am frankly baffled by the large array of hardware available. If anyone can also offer estimated frame rates on builds, that would also be useful! Thanks for any help in advance!
