Approximate Purchase Date: The next 30 days
Budget Range: $750
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, internet, homework
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, Monitors, Optical Drive
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.com or wherever stuff is cheaper lol
Country of Origin: Good ole USA
Parts Preferences: None, just whatever will run the best at the lowest cost (I know, I know, you can't have your cake and eat it too)
Overclocking: If possible, sure, but the room it will be going into tends to get very hot in the summer so heat management could be an issue. also, I don't know jack about overclocking.
SLI or Crossfire: Yes. I run 3 monitors.
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200 I think. I run max resolution on my 24" in the middle and run a lower resolution on my two 19" standard ratio LCDs on the sides of it.
Additional Comments: I would like to be able to run Crysis 2 on max settings at 60 FPS. That's kind of the benchmark I'm using in my head. I don't know if that's still considered difficult with mid range hardware. Also, I do qualify for the AMD retailpro website's employee purchase program. I'm not sure when their next deal is gonna happen (supposed to be this summer), but if it's worth waiting for, I'd be willing to extend my time frame.
