Hello,
My PC died on me recently, but it was getting old and I was thinking of getting a new one anyways. I've never built my own, but I came on this site and have been reading various posts and articles, and it seems like the best value so I think I want to give it a try. Any parts suggestions are appreciated, thanks.
Approximate Purchase Date: within a week or so
Budget Range: 600-700, but somewhat flexible
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, speakers... I also have an Antec Earthwatts EA-500D 500w power supply, not sure if I can re-use this or if I will need a new one
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: no preference
Country of Origin: United States
Parts Preferences: I think I want at least an i5-2400 processor; besides that, I don't really have any preference with any other parts
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe in the future
Monitor Resolution: not sure; I need to get a new monitor as well, so I wonder if anyone has a good suggestion for a good, reasonably priced monitor
