T TheOnlyJoumae Distinguished Sep 6, 2011 2 0 18,510 Sep 6, 2011 #3 Approximate Purchase Date: This month Budget Range: $700 Before rebates System Usage from Most to Least Important: Main gaming and game recording with some video editing on the side. Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com Country of Origin: USA Parts Preferences: No real personal preference but I've heard AMD is better for gaming so I'd like that if its true. Overclocking: Maybe SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, don't know what Crossfire is exactly. Monitor Resolution: At least 1366 x 768 upwards toward 1920x1200. Really just a large wide screen monitor. Additional Comments: Going to be using 64 bit if that makes a difference at all.
