Approximate Purchase date: 10/25
Budget range: $600-800
System usage from most important to least important: gaming, youtube/movies/music, surfing web
Parts not required: Mouse, keyboard
Country of Origin: USA
Preferred websites: any/good deals
Parts preference: Intel/Amd? lol
Overclocking: YES!(In the future)
SLI or Crossfire: Maybeee.
Monitor Resolution: I want 2 19''-22'' LED screens. (Not part of the budget, I'll get them later)
Additional comments: This is the build I had in mind.
i5 2500k Sandy Bridge
Radeon HD 6870
550W PSU
Z68 Motherboard
Mid tower case
8GB total RAM (Won't be needing much as of now)
DVD Drive
SATA III Drive (Anything around 250GB would be PERFECT, 500gb/1tb is a bit to much for me)
Will all this work together perfectly? Would I need to up the PSU if I wanted to overclock my 3.3 Processor to 4.2Ghz? How much will the total build cost? How future proof is this build? If it's below my budget 600-800 you think I can squeeze a screen? Thanks!
Edit - Forgot to say I'm using this computer to play games. Some games I'd like to run on max are SC2, LoL, Steam Games. Also will the 6870 let me run crysis on normal at least?
