Approximate Purchase Date: This week (the closer the better))
Budget Range: Less than 700$ was aiming for 500$.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS(sticking with xp for now), Dvd/cd drive(hopefully).
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.com
Country of Origin: U s and a
Parts Preferences: Western digital hdd, Intel cpu, better for upgrades in the future with intel motherboard? Didn't want to cheap out on the PSU so I got that Corsair.
Overclocking: Willing to try.
SLI or Crossfire: Not now..maybe down the road?
Additional Comments: I started out with AMD phenom ii x4 cpu and Cheap Asrock mBoard but moved to Intel for fear of cheap asrock board being too cheap(you get what u pay for?). Plus, hoping for more room towards upgrades when intel's chips drop down. Obviously i'd like to keep this new build as cheap as possible. Perhaps I could get a less expensive Video card for the time being although i'd like to keep the one below. Please any suggestion/advice?
