Gaming build, some salvaged parts, $800

[coldsleep]

2nd gaming build today, also for a friend ordering the parts.

Approximate Purchase Date: a week or two

Budget Range: $800ish

Before / After Rebates Before rebates

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, various multimedia (streaming movies/music/etc.)

Parts Not Required: Monitor, keyboard/mouse, hard drives, ODD, maybe case (could go for a good case combo, though)

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg

Country of Origin: USA

Parts Preferences: Slight preference for AMD/nVidia, but whatever works. I went with Intel/nVidia in my initial build.

Overclocking: Maybe, but no HSF with the initial build.

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, would like to keep the option open, even if it doesn't ever happen.

Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: Aiming for gaming performance while reusing some old parts. PSU might be overkill.
