Hi, I'm building my first computer, a gaming PC. I have some parts figured out, but some I'm having trouble figuring out the hard drive, motherboard, and power supply (video card requires at least 500 watts, so I want to go to at least 550 to be safe)
Approximate Purchase Date: I am completely unsure, unfortunately
Budget Range: Budget absolute max $750
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, surfing the internet (Youtube, etc.), videos (Netflix, etc.), photo/video editing,
Parts Not Required: Mouse, keyboard, speakers/headset, monitor, disk drive (possibly), case
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon, newegg, tigerdirect, (can also buy from Office Depot, Best Buy, etc. if necessary)
Country: Does this mean where I live? If so, USA
Parts Preferences: Would like to use AMD Phenom II x6 1090t Black Edition (if can't afford then II x6 1055t), AMD Radeon HD 6850, Crucial 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 SDRAM, 1TB hard drive, case is an old HP Pavilion a6542p desktop case
Overclocking: It's possible, that's for sure. If I do, not any time soon
SLI or Crossfire: With my computer budget, I don't think I'll be able to afford Crossfiring
Monitor Resolution: I don't know what it is... it's the HP monitor that came with the computer, I may be able to find out the resolution
Additional Comments: I hope to put a window and a couple red or blue cold cathodes inside, and does my case have at least 2 hard drive bays because the new hard drive will be mine and the old hard drive (keeping the one it has already) will have family's music, pics, etc.
Thanks! If any more info is needed, just tell me.
