Approximate Purchase Date: Within two weeks, trying to get some Black Friday savings.
Budget Range: Around $1000. Could go to $1200, but it'd really have to be worth it. Maybe a little bit of future-proofing if possible.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Internet, School, Movies/Music
Parts Not Required: Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers/Headphones, Antec PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371009, have XP but I want to purchase Windows 7.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg
Country: PNW, USA
Parts Preferences: Probably Intel/NVIDIA for CPU/GPU
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No, prefer one better card
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Had a friend run through a pretty basic system, I'll include the links below. I don't *need* to spend $1000, just saying that's my ballpark price, with the possibility of going to $1200 if it's *really* worth it. I'd like to get input on this build, and other suggestions. If better (but more expensive) parts are recommended, if you could give a bit of reasoning that would help me out. Will also be purchasing aftermarket CPU heatsink/cooler. I'm a computer enthusiast but I don't know as much as I'd like to, so I'm deferring to you guys here! Thank you in advance!
MOBO: Edit Update - Product my friend suggested is not compatible with the CPU, so looking for a good one here.
